Man this guy looks so good... More pictures please!

(Waiting also for the scale calculations based on skull length)

What is the big Diabloceratops at the background ?

According to Paleofiguras on Facebook, Haolonggood's 5th release for 2023 will be a "big guy". And remember that list saying they had a sauropod in their plans...

I think this is the Baidu post they're coming from:

Interesting... I am hoping for some sort of titanosaur. One that is not fragmentary of course.

TooOldForDinosaurs

Can't wait. Any new species will be exciting!  ^-^

ItsTwentyBelow

Just hoping whatever is released is in a more accurate 1:35 scale...

SidB

I'm guessing that any good-sized sauropod would be more likely to be in a 1/35 scale, simply because larger scales would start to get really BIG, hence expensive to ship.


Fembrogon

Yeah, the Dicraeosaurus is 1:35 precisely and is quite the lengthy figure already. A 1:35 figure for a genus like, say, Paralititan, could end up truly gigantic.

As far as I'm aware, the only titanosaur that isn't fragmentary is Malawisaurus, which has been made into a good figure already.  The rest as far as I can remember are just boring fragmentary species.

Opisthocoelicaudia and Neuquensaurus are pretty well known off the top of my head

I had never heard of Neuquensaurus, is its skull known?  Opisthocoelicaudia's skull and neck aren't known, so I don't think it would be a good choice for a figure.  I forgot about Rapetosaurus though, it is highly complete if I'm remembering right.

Neuquensaurus doesn't have a skull, but Nemegtosaurus does and it may be synonymous with Opisthocoelicaudia from what I've heard. At the very least they're definitely related

For my part, there are titanosaurs that are not completely known but still interesting, such as Ampelosaurus with its funky armor. Sauropod skulls are very difficult to come by, compared to other animals, and also contribute less to overall gestalt, so I also wouldn't consider a missing skull disqualifying.

We don't even have the skull of Patagotitan, which is otherwise generally well represented as we have several individuals.  For my part I'll almost certainly be happy with whatever sauropod they settle on, provided the fossil remains are reasonable.  The main thing for me is that they choose an animal that is not huge because of the implications for (1) shelf space and (2) cost. And I guess I really want an animal that isn't readily available in model form.
