I got into the dinosaur collecting hobby around 2010, and from then until 2023 the 1974 Invicta Megalosaurus stood as the sole representative of the first dinosaur described by science in my collection. For shame! But 2023 saw the release of the PNSO Megalosaurus and my thirst for a modern figure of this important animal was quenched.

No one knows when precisely humans first discovered the fossilized remains of dinosaurs. Indigenous North Americans probably came across them in places now called Alberta or South Dakota or Utah. In China, “dragon bones” were recorded as being discovered all the way back during the Western Jin Dynasty between 265 and 316 AD.

History: 166 million years ago during the middle Jurassic a predator named Megalosaurus prowled England. In 1824 it became the first non-avian dinosaur to have a validly named genus. From there its popularity grew and became a widely known dinosaur celebrity. It received top billing at Crystal Palace Park where it was one of the three mascot dinosaurs.Â
