A Model Range that Reflects Changes in the Spinosauridae

The PNSO range of prehistoric animal figures includes several examples of spinosaurids. Most of the spinosaurid figures the company has produced to date represent the giant Spinosaurus aegyptiacus. However, PNSO did introduce a model of the controversial spinosaur Sinopliosaurus in 2022.

A New PNSO Lufengosaurus Dinosaur Model

By Mike|2024-03-29T06:40:46+00:00March 26th, 2024|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Press Releases|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur will be stocking the new for 2024 PNSO Lufengosaurus dinosaur model. This model is due to arrive at the company’s warehouse in a few weeks. The figure, entitled Yiran the Lufengosaurus, demonstrates how far the company has come since their first Lufengosaurus model was introduced.

The new for 2024 PNSO Yiran the Lufengosaurus figure.

PNSO Lufengosaurus Dinosaur Model

The new Lufengosaurus figure has been beautifully painted. Everything Dinosaur has worked with PNSO for many years and ironically, one of the first dinosaur models that PNSO produced was a Lufengosaurus. The original model was depicted as a quadruped. However, most palaeontologists consider Lufengosaurus (L. huenei) to have walked on its hind legs for most of the time. The forelimbs are considerably shorter when compared to the length of this dinosaur’s legs. In addition, the long neck and widely spaced, peg-like teeth in the jaw suggest that this dinosaur browsed on the branches of trees.

The PNSO Lufengosaurus dinosaur model. The original PNSO Lufengosaurus figure depicted this sauropodomorph as a quadruped, however, most palaeontologists consider Lufengosaurus huenei to have been a biped.

Model Measurements

The new Lufengosaurus figure has already been praised by dinosaur model collectors. The model measures around twenty-five cm long and it stands nearly eleven centimetres tall. Although know from dozens of fossil specimens, how big Lufengosaurus huenei was remains uncertain. It could have measured more than nine metres in length. However, many vertebrate palaeontologists consider the more conservative body length of six metres more likely. Based on a six-metre-long animal, this new PNSO Lufengosaurus is in approximately 1:24 scale. If Lufengosaurus did reach a length of nine metres, this figure would be in approximately 1:36 scale.

The new Lufengosaurus model measures 25 cm long.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur stated that the new Lufengosaurus model was included in the next shipment of PNSO models and figures. Whilst a definitive delivery date could not be given at this stage, it was likely that the Lufengosaurus would be in stock in about five to six weeks.

Scientific Papers and Published Research

Spinosaurus aegyptiacus has been the subject of increased scrutiny over the last decade or so. The debate regarding the lifestyle and the behaviour of this carnivorous dinosaur has been intense. Palaeontologists are divided as to whether Spinosaurus was an aquatic animal, mainly terrestrial or perhaps semiaquatic. It possesses several characteristics that suggest adaptations for life in the water. However, whether this animal could dive and remain submerged remains controversial. Indeed, papers have been published which conclude that Spinosaurus would have been unstable in water. Its unusual body shape and huge dorsal fin could impede this animal’s ability to stay upright when it was swimming.

The Everything Dinosaur Aymen the Spinosaurus YouTube video summarises some of the scientific papers. It is likely that the Spinosaurus lifestyle debate will continue indefinitely. The absence of articulated fossil specimens hampers research.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented that the video will show the new Spinosaurus figure. The video would also provide a summary of the research over the last ten years.

The spokesperson added:

“Our plan is to provide a brief overview of the recent scientific papers. We intend to outline the findings of some of the studies that have been undertaken following the influential 2014 paper by Ibrahim et al published in the journal Science.”

The New Aymen the Spinosaurus is Reviewed

By Mike|2024-03-22T10:27:26+00:00March 22nd, 2024|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Product Reviews|0 Comments

The new for 2024 PNSO Aymen the Spinosaurus has certainly proved popular amongst dinosaur fans. Our thanks to William who sent into Everything Dinosaur his review of this new figure.

William began his review by reflecting on how our perception of this theropod has changed since it was first scientifically described back in 1915.

The reviewer commented:

“To think in 1915 when Ernst Freiherr Stromer von Reichenbach first revealed to the world the
Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, how much it has evolved in 109 years from the loss of the type specimen during World War II to the present day’s awe-inspiring enigma.”

PNSO Aymen the Spinosaurus

William explained that in his opinion, the new PNSO Aymen the Spinosaurus figure was the best and most accurate version of this dinosaur currently available. He praised the design team at PNSO for creating such a spectacular prehistoric animal model.

He added:

“PNSO’s Aymen the Spinosaurus is the definitive version available in model form to this date.”

Praise for Everything Dinosaur

In addition to praising Aymen the Spinosaurus, William praised Everything Dinosaur. The reviewer thanked team members for providing a huge choice of prehistoric animal models. He also commented on the excellent prices and that purchasing from Everything Dinosaur was safe and secure. Fast delivery of parcels was also highlighted. William explained that he had emailed requesting an Aymen the Spinosaurus figure be set aside for him. The company was happy to assist and accommodate his wishes. This level of service helps to explain why Everything Dinosaur was recently awarded the Feefo Platinum Trusted Service award.

William concluded his review by stating:

“Without the presence of Everything Dinosaur in the world of paleo figures our collections would be less.”

Haolonggood to Introduce New Chasmosaurus Models

By Mike|2024-03-25T16:29:12+00:00March 20th, 2024|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Press Releases|0 Comments

Haolonggood intends to introduce two new Chasmosaurus models. These horned dinosaur figures are expected in stock at Everything Dinosaur later in the spring. This manufacturer intends to continue to produce ceratopsian models. Recently, the company added Kosmoceratops, Sinoceratops and Nasutoceratops to their growing model range. As with other Haolonggood figures, the Chasmosaurus replicas will be available in a choice of two colour schemes.

Haolonggood will continue the trend of producing ceratopsian figures with the addition of a pair of Chasmosaurus models.

As with other Haolonggood figures, two colour variants of Chasmosaurus will be offered. There will be a green-coloured version and another Chasmosaurus with a reddish/brown colour scheme. Both figures will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur probably later this spring.

As with other Haolonggood figures the Chasmosaurus will be available in a choice of two colours.

Haolonggood Chasmosaurus Models

The taxon Chasmosaurus (C. belli) was erected in 1902 (Lawrence Lambe). Fossil material associated with this genus heralds from the Dinosaur Provincial Park Formation in Alberta (Canada). Specimens show a wide variety of morphological variation in the skull. This has led to confusion over the taxonomic placement of a number of fossil specimens. They could represent examples of Chasmosaurus or perhaps other, related ceratopsians such as Mojoceratops.

Excellent Dinosaur Models

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented that Haolonggood had only been making this range of figures since 2020. The company has added a variety or ornithischian figures including hadrosaurs and ceratopsians. In terms of horned dinosaurs, Haolonggood had added several figures including Kosmoceratops and Pachyrhinosaurus. However, the company had yet to add a replica of Triceratops (T. horridus) to this range.

The spokesperson added:

“Currently, we have five different Haolonggood ceratopsian figures in stock. When we get the Chasmosaurus, this will make it six. Each dinosaur is supplied in two, contrasting colour schemes.”

The New CollectA Polacanthus and the Sacral Shield

By Mike|2024-03-25T14:02:18+00:00March 19th, 2024|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Everything Dinosaur videos, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products|0 Comments

The CollectA Polacanthus model will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur soon. Only one species is currently assigned to this genus (P. foxii). In the past, several species were erected. However, a formal review of armoured dinosaur fossils associated with the Wealden Group (Raven et al 2020) clarified the placement of ankylosaurian fossil material. Much of the fossil material has now been assigned to other taxa or declared too indistinct to be confidently assigned at the genus level.

The 2024 CollectA Polacanthus Model

The new for 2024 CollectA Polacanthus figure reflects the recent review of the British Wealden Group ankylosaurs. It represents the very latest scientific interpretation of this iconic dinosaur which was named in 1865.

CollectA Deluxe Polacanthus.. — The Polacanthus figure shows countershading on the underside and the design team have moved away from the typical brown and rust red colouration associated with the Ankylosauria. This figure reflects some of the latest scientific thinking concerning this taxon. *Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.*

The Polacanthus Sacral Shield

This dinosaur is famous for its shield of armour located over the hips. This is referred to as the sacral shield or sometimes the pelvic shield. In the holotype the sacral shield measures 108 cm in length. It is approximately 90 cm wide. Most descriptions of the raised bosses and dermal armour associated with the sacral shield refer to four rows of osteoderms on each side of this pelvic shield. These features do not seem to be present in the holotype fossil material.

The sacral shield on the new CollectA Polacanthus does reflect quite accurately the holotype material. For example, the largest bosses associated with the sacral shield of Polacanthus foxii are located in the corners at the distal end of the shield. These large bosses have been reproduced in the new CollectA figure.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur explained:

“The sacral shield on the CollectA Polacanthus model does reflect the morphology of the holotype. The bosses and osteoderms present on the sacral shield of the model follow the layout as depicted in the 19th century lithographs. In addition, we think that CollectA were given access to additional images of the actual fossils. This helped the design team to recreate the model with a high degree of accuracy.”

The CollectA Polacanthus model in 1:20 scale is due to arrive at Everything Dinosaur later this year.

Haolonggood Dinosaur Models

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented that it was wonderful to have these six new dinosaur models in stock.

The spokesperson added:

“Many factories concentrate on producing replicas of theropod dinosaurs. Collectors like a bit of variety and it great to see ornithischian dinosaurs being highlighted by Haolonggood. These figures may all represent Cretaceous dinosaurs, but they are geographically dispersed. Sinoceratops is known from China, whilst Tlatolophus fossils were found in Mexico. Kosmoceratops fossil material comes from the western United States.”

Rebor Dire Wolf Models

Each fabulous figure measures a little over eighteen centimetres in length. The shoulder height is around nine centimetres. The Rebor dire wolf figures are supplied with an Everything Dinosaur dire wolf fact sheet. The fact sheet highlights the taxonomy of these enigmatic Pleistocene carnivores. They are not closely related to the extant grey wolf (Canis lupus).

A scientific paper published in 2021 (Perri et al) demonstrated that the genome of the dire wolf was markedly different from the genome of extant canids. It is postulated that the dire wolf evolved in the Americas isolated from other canids. The lineage that led to the dire wolf diverged from the common ancestor of wolves and coyotes more than 5.5 million years ago.
