This Eofauna Giganotosaurus model is nice but didn’t stand up very well when it first arrived but after the fix using hot water to soften the plastic it now stands very well which is why it hasn’t got top marks here! Other than that this is a great model & looks great with my Papo running T-Rex which is about the same size! The sculpt is good & the colour is nice too there are probably better models out there of Giganotosaurus but cost considerably more money than this one….this model does an excellent job at portraying the large predator from what is now Argentina.

Everything Dinosaurs offers some of the best prices around, and this is no exception. Arrived quickly and with zero damage.
My only complaint is regarding the figure itself, which has major balancing issues and can not stand on its own. Paint is also damaged easily, but this is fixed on later Eofauna products. Any form of advice to fix the warping would be awesome.

Thank you for your feedback, a team member has emailed with information to help resolve the balancing issue.

I had one of these a few years ago, and stupidly sold it a while after as it wasn`t really to scale with my Rebor/Papo T`Rex`s back then. Now that PSNO has released their unbelievably excellent Wilson(MK2) T-Rex (which is MORE truly like 1/35th scale), i purchased two. The Eofauna Giganotosaurus looks absolutely amazing next to Wilson. This really is an excellent model. I did find that i had to touch up a couple of very small areas where the paint had rubbed off some of the areas, as mentioned by other reviewers. Nothing major though.
As i mentioned before, i bought two, as I was going to experiment and glue one to a base to make it more stable. However. By chance, I noticed that the clear stand that comes with the PSNO Carnotaurus is an absolutely perfect fit!
If you put the stand under the Giganotosaurus` left armpit, like a crutch, you`ll find all stability issues are sorted out. No base needed!
I`ve certainly learnt my lesson and won`t be selling my wonderful Giganotosaurus again!

Absolutely beautiful figure. I was overwhelmed after getting it in hand. The fine details cannot be captured on camera. Even the ribs are identifiable with muscle tones. I’m lucky as my figure has no stability issue. It’s weighty and quite big and museum quality. Try not to handle it too much as the body is hard and the paint chips off easily on friction. Thanks Everything Dinosaur for great service !

Very good figure, although compared to the atlasaurus and the upcoming triceratops,it lacked some detail and paint job, but overall great brand that keeps improving with their upcoming releases.

The sculpt of this model is absolutely fascinating, the skin wrinkles and folds just make it look so realistic and life like, amazing detailing. The overall shape is very accurate and the proportions are almost perfect, the only minus is the tail which should be shorter compared to the rest of the body although I believe that could’ve been also done for better stability. The only reason I made this a 4 star and not a 5 is due to the paint. The paint job overall isn’t the most convincing, it could do with more blending in many areas and the paint also scuffs rather easily. Despite everything dinosaur’s efforts of models being delivered in perfect condition by adding soft foam (I think that’s what it is?) and bubble wrap my model still came with a few tiny scuffs and even after unpacking it I’ve noticed the paint peals off very easy so I’d recommend being careful with it. Other than that tho the model is as I said great and I’d certainly recommend it.

This is an interesting model of good quality. While it loses a bit compared to Rebor King T-rex in the fine details, the overall quality for it’s price tag is very, very good. I will definitely look out for further Eofauna releases.

Beautiful model, but mine has stability issue. Once it was out of the box, it stood for 10 seconds before falling over on its side. I contacted Eofauna about the problem, and the staff gave me 2 tips to try. One was the hand grip method which worked for a few hours. I will try the second method, which is heat and cold treatment. But I’m not hopeful because I have experienced many models having this issues, like the Wild Safari feathered T Rex, Papo Allosaurus, etc. Have tried fixing a few times and always the stability only lasted a while. It might be due to the tropical weather condition (where I live), constant heat and high humidity.

A truly spectacular figure. Very realistic, great expression, pose and paint job. A beautiful display piece. Incredible detail on the sculpt. Recommended to anyone with any kind of interest in prehistoric figures. Also, shout out to Everything Dinosaur for being quick and thorough.

This is the best replica of any dinosaur I’ve come across so far at this price range and I’m very much looking forward to what Eofauna have planned for the future.
Building the model around a 3D recreation of the animal’s actual fossil skeleton is impressive. Eofauna’s attention to detail is fantastic, from the musculature and fine scales to the colour and patterning which is subtle and believable.
I like the fact that it came packaged with it’s feet held firmly in a clear plastic frame, which prevents warping allowing me to stand the model in it’s very well balanced pose straight out of the box.
Of course I can only speak for myself as I know some people have experienced balance issues with this model, but with a little hot and cold water treatment I’ve heard that this can be easily remedied. And Eofauna have a template on their website to help people solve this problem.
My Giganotosaurus also came with a data sheet, a Top Trump-like data card and a little booklet tied to the ankle, which offers some information about Eofauna themselves. This makes for an interesting short read and tells me that Eofauna have every intention of always faithfully and accurately representing these amazing creatures.
So this should mean no erroneous Jurassic Park recreations which can only be a good thing. Still love Jurassic Park though.
So, all in all, this model is excellent and Eofauna appear to be an organisation who are very much worth supporting.

This is one of the most spectacular dinosaur figures I’ve ever seen. The detail is exquisite and subtle, can’t wait to see what else they have coming. This figure is one of my favorites in my collection. Eofauna has raised the bar….

A really good quality dinosaur model.Always wanted a giganotosaurus model and this one does credit.Detail is good. Standing next to my palaeoloxodon you get the true size and mass of this killer.Interesting to see what eofauna would make next.Delievery from everything dinosaur was first class as usual i had it before the weekend.

Bit late with a review, but I think it’s gorgeous! Fantastic details, the muscles, the texture of the skin, everything. I especially like the colouration, these brown hues suit it well. The inside of the mouth could have done with more detail, but nevertheless, it is still a great figure of 2019.

I love the figure, very good quality and displays very good on the shelf next to Schleich specially. The only downside that I see is that it doesnt display good next to Papo or similar quality figures, and the paint can be easily scrached from it, but in general I really recommend it.

This figure is amazing. The detail and coloration is flawless. I highly recommend. I live in the States, and my order arrived in 8 days. Everything Dinosaur is amazing, and will get all my business from now on.

Eofauna’s Giganotosaurus carolinii
Has just upped the stakes in Paleo-figures with their third release.
Regarding size just spot on expressing the theropods mass in real life at 8 tons which made it the apex predator of the massive Titanosuars of ancient Argentina.
The Giganotosaur’s Beautifully robust head is masterfully captured with clean lines, smoothly closing jaws an all round superb job.
When you look at the eyes from profile it is as tho has seen movement and has peaked the instinct to begin the hunt.
Colour wise nicely subtle with the stripes and the stripes break up the animal body in the undergrowth.
The toes are well captured with the toepads giveing stability and the stance of strong legs reaching up to the wrinkled skin of the inside of the thighs nice touch the wrinkles which occur in some of the larger domestic gamefowl breeds naturally.
This may well be 2019 finest Dinosaur figure. Now we look forward with peeked intrest to see what figures 4-5 will be in the coming months.
Go see for yourself as you need to see it in hand as all the photos in the world don’t do it justice.
