Eofauna - new for 2019

[suspsy]

Looks like Deinotherium, alright.

[Shonisaurus]

What enigmatic proboscid will be the one I will reveal on Monday Eofauna? I do not know if it will be the deinotherium, I honestly do not understand elephants, on the other hand another species of mammoth for me is welcome.

@Andreioli That said, I would have preferred a paraceratherium, it is a prehistoric mammal that is cursed in the toy market and even in collecting. It is an underrepresented figure.

[Ravonium]

The legs are the wrong proportions for Paraceratherium, and since we can't see the tusks or trunk, it's probably a fairly primitive member of Proboscidea.

  MPV is offering the Atlasaurus for pre-order. It's the same price as the Giganotosaurus.

And three more months to save up for it. Good times! 

[Andreioli]

Deinotherium it is !

[Shonisaurus]

That deinotherium of Eofauna has a strange posture but the image is very dynamic. I would like to know how much it will cost and what measures this figure will have. You can be sure Miron (urzeitshop) that I will make this reservation to your online store next to the atlasaurus. It is a version of this novel and beautiful prehistoric elephant, its sculpture is very beautiful. What I notice is that all the figures of prehistoric elephants of Eofauna are arranged dynamically (raising the leg) none of them has a static version.

[Jose S.M.]

Deinotherium was definitely a weird animal, specially its head. Both of the new offerings have weird anterior parts : the short and disproportionate neck in Atlasaurus and the whole head in this one, specially its lower jaw.

[Fenestra]

"Before them stood a monster big,
Their faces turned quite pale,
It clearly was ready to do a jig,
While black flames sprung from its tail."

Nice Deinotherium but I am content with the Mojo Fun figure for now. I see no reason to replace it at this time for a Synoptic Collection.

I'm a huge fan of elephants ( https://www.flickr.com/photos/130140542@N03/albums/72157683552541994 ).
In my opinion Mojo Fun Deinotherium is the weakest from the available figure.
Bullyland is better.
CollectA WAS the best Deino until now.
But Eofauna seems to be really the greatest of them all..

Question, which company makes the best extant elephant figures that are roughly in scale with the Eofauna proboscids?

Eofauna Deinotherium will be at 1:35.
To be honest, I'm not so scale-addicted about my collection.
So I'm not so sure about the exact scale of my extant elephants..





Schleich seems to be roughly in scale:

More or less..

As I learned on blog.everythingdinosaur the new Eofauna deinotherium will be 20 centimeters in length and 13 centimeters high. More photos of the deinotherium appear, it looks scandalously beautiful! I pass the link:

Both figures first day purchases for me

I could be wrong but I feel that the Mojo version was anatomically incorrect. Shouldn't the Deinotherium have been more svelte in real life than the stockier representation by Mojo?

Is the size accurate relative to the Palaeoloxodon? As I recall, the Palaeoloxodon was the largest elephant species.

More specifically, Palaeoloxodon namadicus was the largest elephant species ever. The species EoFauna made, Palaeoloxodon antiquus, has been found in variable enough sizes that some individuals of the species could have been the same size as some individual Deinotherium giganteum. (hopefully EoFauna's account will come back here and clarify this further)

As someone who's not hugely interested in proboscideans, I would buy a P. namadicus in a heartbeat if anyone made one.

I think you are quite correct in that statement.  The Mojo deinotherium is indeed anatomically inaccurate, it just looks way too bulky.  Deinotherium skeletons are quite long legged and lanky in appearance suggesting a svelte body type as you mentioned.  The mojo model lacks any real anatomy (looks blobby all over), the texturing is also unrealistic.  Just looking at the way the wrinkles flow on a real elephant, Eofauna nailed it.....Mojo, not a chance.

Hi there!

    Average fully grown shoulder height for Palaeoloxodon antiquus is close to 4 m, with the largest specimens reaching to about 4.2 m. On the other hand, our Deinotherium giganteum is scaled to the largest individual found in Kettlasbrunn which measured about 4.1 m at the shoulders, so our figure SH is very close to 11.7 cm. Soon, we will post some images with all three proboscideans together.

Thanks for clarifying further where you got your measurements from
