The New PNSO Megalosaurus Model Reviewed

By |2023-11-23T10:59:22+00:00October 21st, 2023|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Product Reviews|0 Comments

Our thanks to William who sent into Everything Dinosaur a review of the PNSO Megalosaurus model. This dinosaur fan and model collector had been looking forward to this introduction. He purchased two models, and commented:

“I had heard rumours that PNSO might introduce a Megalosaurus. I thought we might get a model in 2024, the bicentenary of the scientific description of this dinosaur. However, PNSO introduced it this summer and I was happy. I decided to buy not one, but a pair of Megalosaurus bucklandii.”

PNSO Megalosaurus Model

The reviewer comments that “Edward” is posed in a neutral standing position, looking forward. The model’s colouration is praised, and the toothy, articulated jaw highlighted. William explains that this is the dinosaur he imagined when reading about big theropods like Megalosaurus when he was a child.

William added:

“We have a true and accurate model of Megalosaurus bucklandii. The PNSO Megalosaurus model “Edward” is the crowning glory of my collection.”

The Discovery of Megalosaurus

As well as providing a review of the PNSO figure, the reviewer summarised the history of the Megalosaurus fossil discoveries.

He explained that the lower jawbone was unearthed in an Oxfordshire quarry. This fossil and other material came into the possession of the Reverend William Buckland, the resident Professor of Geology at the University of Oxford. Examining the fossil, he realised that the fossil represented a reptile as the teeth erupted from sockets in the jaw. It was Buckland’s friend William Conybeare who named the fossil Megalosaurus.

At a meeting of the Geological Society of London on the 20th of February, 1824 the specimen was described. On that fateful day, the world was introduced to Megalosaurus and our fascination with the “terrible lizards” commenced.

Everything Dinosaur will shortly post up a brief video review of the CollectA Deluxe Koolasuchus model. This 1:20 scale figure is the first prehistoric amphibian to be made by CollectA. It is a magnificent model and team members have been keen to create a video review.

CollectA Deluxe Koolasuchus

In the YouTube video, various details of the model will be highlighted. For example, the head of the CollectA Deluxe Koolasuchus is covered in a wonderful, criss-crossed, hatching effect. This patterning is typical of temnospondyls, in fact it is diagnostic. Should a palaeontologist encounter skull bones with a hatched, criss-crossed pattern, then it is extremely likely that they have discovered a temnospondyl fossil.

Question of the Day?

As the storyboard for the Everything Dinosaur YouTube video comes together, team members want to ask viewers a question. As this is the first prehistoric amphibian made by CollectA, are there other animals that collectors would like a model of?

In the video we will ask the question:

What other type of prehistoric amphibian would you like CollectA to make?

Perhaps collectors would like a replica of giant predator such as Mastodonsaurus? Might an Eryops figure prove popular?

We look forward to reading the replies.

The review from the customer stated:

“Another lovely figure from Papo. I love that this Giganotosaurus is in the retro upright pose as every other Giganotosaurus figure I’ve seen is in a running pose. Tyrannosaurus rex figures come in both stances, but this is the first Giganotosaurus I have come across in the retro stance.”

The New PNSO Tristan the Gorgosaurus is Reviewed

By |2024-03-09T15:04:41+00:00October 14th, 2023|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Product Reviews|0 Comments

Our thanks to model collector William who sent into Everything Dinosaur his review of the PNSO Tristan the Gorgosaurus model. The Chinese manufacturer was praised for their tyrannosaur figures.

William commented:

“PNSO has favoured me with not one but two stunning Albertosaurinae tyrannosaurid models. Ah, the genius of PNSO.”

The second Albertosaurinae referred to by the reviewer is the recently introduced PNSO Wally the Albertosaurus.

PNSO Tristan the Gorgosaurus

The reviewer stated that there was a notable difference between “Tristan and Wally”. The Gorgosaurus figure (Tristan) is posed as if looking downwards. It might be surveying potential prey. Perhaps the dinosaur has been left in charge of some hatchlings and it is watching over its brood. William commented that these dinosaurs had acute vision.

William complimented both figures and explained that whilst finalising his review of Tristan he received the Albertosaurus model in the post.

He stated:

“In finalising my review of Tristan, I received a second beautiful horned Albertosaurinae model – Wally the Albertosaurus.”

Information About Gorgosaurus

Prior to providing the model review, William supplied some information about the discovery of Gorgosaurus. He wrote that Gorgosaurus is synonymous with the Canadian Province of Alberta. It lived during the Campanian faunal stage of the Cretaceous (76.6-75.1 mya).

William explained that it was the year 1913 and in the young province of Alberta the fossil collector Charles M. Sternberg had unearthed an almost complete holotype Gorgosaurus libratus. Charles M. Sternberg had been exploring the Dinosaur Provincial Park Formation. The following year (1914), Lawrence Lambe published his paper describing and naming the new fossil. Gorgosaurus libratus being the second but older species Albertosaurinae tyrannosaurid discovered.

The PNSO Gorgosaurus figure will be supplied with an A3-sized Sci-Art poster and a 64-page, illustrated colour booklet.

“This is my first foray into the ancient Miocene oceans and I chose wisely with the ancient “Requena”. It is just perfection, in all aspects from the sculpt, to the colour, to the design. Everything Dinosaur delivers with their premier on-line global store.”

The Beautiful PNSO Dunkleosteus Model Reviewed

By |2024-01-02T14:32:14+00:00September 2nd, 2023|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Product Reviews|0 Comments

Our thanks to collector and prehistoric animal fan William who sent in a review of the PNSO Dunkleosteus model. The PNSO placoderm replica was introduced into the mid-size model range in late 2021. This model of a prehistoric fish has proved to be popular with collectors.

A stunning model of a placoderm – the PNSO Dunkleosteus model.

Collector Comments on the PNSO Dunkleosteus Model

William emailed Everything Dinosaur praising this prehistoric animal model.

He stated:

“Zaha is my first ancient marine predator. I decided to dip my toe into the prehistoric past “Zaha” sports the new updated shark like body with a beautiful rainbow trout colour. But what sold me on this beautiful model is the truly accurate articulated jaw.”

Terror of the Devonian

William explained that when viewed with the mouth closed, the armoured skull looks fantastic.

He added:

“If you carefully pinch the lower jaw the real magic happens. Once you draw it downwards to open this engages the jaw’s opening mechanism as in the real-life ancient apex predator.”

This fish was a terror of the Devonian. The jaw action of “Zaha” is described as “smooth” and the jaw when opened displays lots of detail. The reviewer comments that there might be several Dunkleosteus figures on the market, but the PNSO figure is the only one you need to add to your collection.

He thanked Everything Dinosaur on behalf of the legion of palaeo-figure collectors who valued what the UK-based company does. He commented that the extensive range of figures covered a wide price range. Price points for children as well as adult prehistoric animal model collectors.

Commenting on the Colour Scheme Chosen

William comments on the chosen colour scheme for this theropod dinosaur. He states that the dark to light body striping is very natural. He further adds that no big predator would be garish in colour.

Concluding his review, the PNSO model is summarised:

“Cole was a true must have to add to my stable and I had no worries from the moment I first saw him to the moment of purchase.”

William is looking forward to the arrival of two new PNSO tyrannosaur figures. The PNSO Albertosaurus and the Gorgosaurus figures are due to arrive at Everything Dinosaur next month (September 2023).

Our thanks to William who sent into Everything Dinosaur his review of the PNSO Cameron the T. rex figure.

William comments that the majority of the reconstruction of “Cameron” is based on a T. rex specimen known as “Sue”. This tyrannosaur fossil specimen is on display at the Chicago Field Museum (specimen number FMNH PR 2081). The lacrimal crests bear a resemblance to another T. rex specimen nicknamed “Stan”. The “Stan” specimen is formally referred to as BHI 3033.

“He is no upgrade. He is 100% his own tyrant in every way.”

It was noted that as with other PNSO figures the box contained posters, a full-colour booklet and a transparent support stand.

The reviewer added:
