Before we begin the review, I would like to extend my gratitude towards Happy Hen Toys for sending this figure along as a review sample. Check out their large selection of animal and dinosaur figures by clicking the banner below.
Xenoceratops is a genus of centrosaurine discovered in the Foremost Formation in Alberta, Canada, and that lived during the late Cretaceous.
Before I start this review, I would like to thank our generous friends at Happy Hen Toys for providing this review sample. Of all of Haolonggood’s 2024 releases, this is the one I was most excited for, so I am honored to have been able to receive it as a gift.
There’s no palookas in this bout, folks, only two young fighters thirsting for glory! On the left, weighing in at 4,435 lbs, the Spiked Smasher, Cuff! And on the right, weighing in at 4,501 lbs, the Destroyer of the Dunes, Clout! Who will emerge victorious?
Take a look at this pair of bumpy-backed beasts from Haolonggood.
Unlike some other toys of Concavenator, these two are largely scaly except for the quills on their arms.
The first revealed Haolonggood product of 2025 is none other than the bodacious Brachiosaurus!
And as you can see from the text above, those who preorder the great sauropod will get of two new repaints of the Huayangosaurus that came with last year’s Argentinosaurus.
The North American hadrosaurid Maiasaura is famous for being the “good mother lizard,” the first dinosaur for which there is fossil evidence of parental behaviour in the form of nests containing babies that were clearly being fed and cared for by adults.
My thanks goes out to Happy Hen Toys, who were gracious to provide a sample of YangZhi the Allosaurus for this review. YangZhi & SuoChao are the latest in a long line of Allosaurus toys, going as far back as 1955 and now numbering into the hundreds.
We’re coming even closer to the end, but Haolonggood still has something to squeeze out! Meet the Styracosaurus pair of Chen Da and Hou Jian!
Compared to previously released ceratopsians, the colours on these two are much more muted. I’m not yet sure which one I’ll go with.
For a decade now, I’ve been reviewing toys of prehistoric fauna from across the entire globe, including Canada, the United States, Patagonia, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, the United Kingdom, Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Romania, Russia, Morocco, Niger, Egypt, Tanzania, Madagascar, India, Mongolia, China, Japan, Australia, and Antarctica.
The year is nearly at an end, but Haolonggood isn’t finished yet. Their very first theropods of 2024 are a pair of Majungasaurus.
I think I like the grey one best. But they both look cool.
Gastonia was discovered in the Cedar Mountain Formation of Utah, USA. It lived during the Early Cretaceous period from 139 to 134.6 million years ago and is one of the very best known nodosaurids. Its name honours Robert Gaston, an American paleontologist and the CEO of Gaston Design, Inc., which makes and sells skeletal replicas of various dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals.

Howdy from wonderful, windy Wyoming! Well, summer is long over, my list of honey-do’s from the wife is finally just about complete, and today I’m back behind the computer.
Originally, my interest in dinosaur figures was in finding ones that scaled well with 28 mm gaming pieces, for roleplaying games and “war” games, such as Saurian Safari.
