I Ordered The Eofauna Konobelondon From You

@@Elephant-Puppet my thanks for your order, we greatly appreciate your support.

Thank you for watching 😊🦖

It's very beautiful, I'm delighted you went ahead and ordered both it and the Atlasaurus (which is one of my all-time faves!) 😊 I hope you'll love them both ❤️ Thank you for watching!

Thank you! It's experimental, I found a very powerful, easy to use editing app and decided to take the plunge 😆 What I should have done is finish the video with a montage of photographs of the model and comparisons with others, but, I live and learn 😊 I do feel that the Atlasaurus is still the crowning glory of their dinosaur collection but this Diplodocus is the only one I've felt compelled to own, since the Invicta one! Like so many of us, I missed out on the Battat and iconic though it is, it has dated. This is an excellent modern replacement 😊🦖

Thank you! Yeah it's certainly causing a bit of a headache when it comes to posting it out 😆 The tail is flexible, but ED do not want to risk distorting it by squeezing it into a slightly less-than-accomodating box 😊

I believe...and I'll believe it more when I actually see a prototype...that Rebor are intending to make a 1:35 Diplodocus for us 😊🦖

Oooh, that's fortuitous 😁 This figure is a perfect representation of Dippy, that's for sure! And it's all the better for it 😻 I do believe that PNSO teased a Brachiosaurus (or Giraffatitan, I'm not sure 🙈) hopefully some day it will see the light of day! Of course, I have the old-fashioned Papo one, but I still love her 😊 I remember the delight I felt when I picked up the parcel from our post office, and still she sits atop my cabinet, overlooking the room! 🦕

@@aeonfire82 Are you gonna do a vlog for Jurassic World Dominion? Might as well!

Actually, I honestly don't know what a Vlog is 😅 and...I'm not greatly enthusiastic about Dominion 🙈 Also I'm far too introverted and easily overwhelmed to keep this up with any kind of regular commitment, never mind anything else! Maybe you should go for it 😊🦖

@@aeonfire82 Ok then! 😁I'll be reviewing the beasts of the mesozoic Pyroraptor (which features in Dominion) after I see the film, which will make a two for one video.

Thank you for your continuing support! 😊 It is a very "streamlined" Diplodocus, they've made it as minimal as possible without shrink-wrapping it but it is completely in line with the cast of Diplodocus carnegii, which is extremely gracile 😊 They've gone for an elephant-look to the limbs, and elephants have thick, tight skin around the limbs to maintain blood pressure. I guess that's what Eofauna were thinking in this reconstruction, as it seems likely that sauropods would have had to have something similar. It also appears that they've used the skull of that cast to determine the shape of the head, which is a feature that is not entirely known for sure. I was fortunate enough to see Dippy On Tour and to talk to Susie Maidment about the differences in the shape of the cast's skull, and modern reconstructions that she had with her. It may be that the head shape is a little dated, but at this scale it doesn't really matter 😊 The gait that the model is posed in is in line with recent research that sauropods moved with a gait more akin to hippos than elephants. I hope this helps! 🦖

@@aeonfire82 thank you so much for the very thoughtful and informative reply. Yes, definitely helpful and I think I will pick this one up. Love your channel! You’re awesome!

That's the PNSO Parasaurolophus 😊🦖
