PNSO: New for 2022

[Sim]

And I'd just like to add that I think I've been too harsh on the Papo Apatosaurus.  The sculptor clearly made an effort and the figure is mostly very good, it's just its neck that looks terrible to me.

I've decided to only collect Beasts of the Mesozoic/Cyberzoic figures from now on, but I think I would make an exception for a PNSO Suchomimus.  If they really are making one I'm eager to see it!

My two cents on the PNSO Sinraptor, yes including teeth and tail.

[Jetdin]

i think the nanmu apatosaurus is a decent apatosaurus, for those who missed out on or could not afford the sideshow apatosaurus.

i do have a 1:35 Barosaurus (BYU9024), its massive but the price tag is also massive. wish i could share pics in a manner that does not involve having to use hotobucket

@Jetdin - Photobucket is not the only option. Some people use postimage. Im sure there are other hosting sites too

[ceratopsian]

Lingwulong has made it to Everything Dinosaur - mine is already ordered.

thank you for the suggestion, will try it out

@Jetdin that Barosaurus is a model kit?

That's awesome!

FYI The Tsintaosaurus is 30% off on U.S. Amazon right now. That's the deepest discount I've seen yet. Finally placed my order.

yes it is

[Renecito]

Chongzuo the Sinopliosaurus

[DinoToyForum]

But Sinopliosaurus is a plesiosaur. It should be Siamosaurus.

[suspsy]

. . . what?

Why aren't they calling it Siamosaurus? Any why are they making a toy of a spinosaur known only from a few teeth when there are other ones known from much better remains? Am I still dreaming in my bed without knowing it?

[Pliosaurking]

Yeah I'm not sure why they didn't do a species known from at least decent remains that don't have very many figures, such as suchomimus or Icthyovenator. Also they should have named it siamosaurus
It is however a very nice looking figure and I plan on getting it

[ceratopsian]

It seems an odd choice to make a model of something known only from teeth, originally identified as a plesiosaur and then reclassified by Buffetaut. I see Amiot also did some work on it with isotope analysis. Maybe the Chinese origin made it an attractive option for PNSO, aimed at their domestic market.

[suspsy]

If PNSO loves making Chinese dinosaurs so much, then how about a Zhenyuanlong? Or Psittacosaurus? Jianianhualong? Sinornithosaurus? Caudipteryx? Sinocalliopterus? There's dozens of dinosaurs from the Yixian Formation alone that they could tackle.

[DinoToyForum]

Taxonomy aside, it is a really beautiful model!

Just to clarify, because it is a bit confusing. The teeth of Siamosaurus were originally referred to the existing plesiosaur genus Sinopliosaurus, but were subseqently reidentified as belonging to a spinosaurid dinosaur. The original Sinopliosaurus material - including some vertebrae, a femur, and a girdle bone - is still certainly a plesiosaur.

[suspsy]

It is a beautiful model. Shame it isn't Baryonyx or Suchomimus or Irritator.

Because it's from China? That seems like the only reason to me for them to make it over something like Suchomimus or Baryonyx
