Collecta 2019: DINOSAURS - Borealpelta (88841)

I've just got this from Collecta :

"Borealpelta meaning Northern shield
It was an Early Cretaceous armoured dinosaur, a nodosaurid ankylosaur, that was discovered in oil sands mine north of Alberta Canada in 2011. It was presented to the public in 2017. The fossil was remarkable as it had preserved the osteoderms or armoured plates in their original positions and it even had the remains of keratin on the spikes and skin. It was even possible to say that the skin had been a reddish/brown colour in life with a lighter underbelly shading which is generally a camouflage scheme. The animal was probably washed out to sea in a flood and drowned and was quickly covered, hence retaining its shape in life. We have modelled the toy to match the position of the fossil and restored the missing parts from the hips that were damaged in the finding. It is possibly the best preserved dinosaur fossil ever discovered."

What?!
No warpaint?
I hope the scale is going to be right for my dinosaur collection, because I really like this one.

Theres no Warpaint because we Actaully know what this animal was colored in life

I think its a part of the Standard sized Collection.

Well, if 1:37 scale is near enough your preferred scale, then you're in luck

I like this figure a lot, everything about it (e.g. no warpaint ) reminds me of their excellent Gastonia from 2014, and it's nice to see them incorporating the accurate colouration into the paint-job.

Nice

Just recently discovered and we already have a replica from CollectA. If it was not enough to turn CollectA dinosaurs exciting... it also respects what is known about the creature and it is a lot. It may even be one of the dinosaurs brought to live that may look closer to what the real creature looked. Bravo CollectA!

It's nice to see CollectA continuing to hit the stride they really started last year with their prehistoric and dinosaur line.I especially like this new Borealopelta markmitchelli.

Beautyful
