HAOLONGGOOD - New For 2023

[Bread]

Thanks for these @Faelrin

I tend to not mind naming of models given by the company, and in this case especially since there are variants between each model.

Really makes my day to see these vibrant colorations. As someone who enjoys the constant addition of herbivores, having these vibrant yet realistic colorschemes is a breath of fresh air.

Thanks for sharing those images @Faelrin.  I've changed my mind about the Wuerhosaurus, I like it quite a lot and I intend to get one of them.  I'm going to agree with @Gwangi and say that the Haolonggood Pachyrhinosaurus is the best plastic version of Pachyrhinosaurus.  I would love to get one or both versions of it if it didn't have the horizontal pupils!

Seeing these high-resolution pictures I am really impressed how much the detail and quality of sculpting is improving with every release. Already the apatosaurus is really great in this respect. But these new ones seem to be even finer and with more details and also many variations in the texturing. This is even more significant than the paint schemes.

Excellent set of images, @Faelrin . For me, they confirm that I made the right color choices when I ordered last night.

Both the new Pachyrhinosaurus pair and Wuerhosaurus are on Amazon now (scroll down):

I noticed that the Pachyrhinosaurus pair and Wuerhosaurus have names, like PNSO or Rebor. At least I think these are names? The previous releases just had colors listed (like multicolor, blue grey, etc). Anyone familiar with Chinese languages to know if these are in fact names?

Green Pachyrhinosaurus is GuoSheng, brown is LvFang, grey Wuerhosaurus is JiaoTin, green is ShiYong.

Thank you for these images!

The green Pachy really is the standout for me, no question. Both of them look really adorable in these photos though, so much more than in previous photos (:

Agreed with T @thomasw100 on the improvemets on sculpt and texturing. The right side of the green Wuerhosaurus shows excellent wrinkling (imo); you could almost imagine touching soft folds of skin while looking at that belly.

These pictures confirm that I made the right color choices. I like both variants of the Wuerhosaurus but the purple one is the more unique of the two.

The shade of blue-purple that Wuerhosaurus is painted in is my favourite colour EVER.

Man I'm torn, I prefer the green Pachyrhinosaurus but I think the brown one would display better with my Safari and Battat versions.

Right, I think on both scores. I got the green, but the brown would co-ordinate better with the Battat and Safari (I know, since I have both).

The second pachy is the current haolonggood release.

I said Pentaceratops, not Pachyrhinosaurus.

The centrosaurus horn is based on a very influental study and animal research suggesting like einiosaurus the horn bends forward due to how the keratin gets layered on top

I know the Centrosaurus horn shape is accurate, but my understanding is the horn is differently shaped in different individuals.  Gregory Paul suggests one with a horn like PNSO's is Centrosaurus apertus, and one with a horn more like Styracosaurus's is if I'm remembering right Centrosaurus nasicornus.  Although it appears the consensus is that nasicornus is a synonym of apertus.  I'd just prefer to have a Centrosaurus with its nose horn not curving forward so much, I believe that wouldn't be inaccurate.

ur correct in that its based on individuals to a degree, some have straighter or more curved like real horned animals, the schematics used are similar to that of goats, means a young bull does technicly have a straight horn, but it then develops forward as its not properly used up and keratin keeps building up, smth theres evidence in this dinosaur def building forwards due to how the horncore is formed. But that means that curved forward is the most likely default, and based on the obsession this forum has on exact scales (smth way more variable in individuals,populations, subspecies etc than the horns i might add ) it makes sense to me to base it on how the animal would most likely be encountered, older bulls are a more likely site than a young rutt. but jeah its all opinions i agree.

small fun fact: since jennie is female shes even more likely to have a curved horn, as female animals do not do intraspecific combat to nearly the same degree as males, means the horn is free to deform to a less usable state.

Anyone else place an order through aliexpress and they have yet to ship for these new releases?

jurassic zoo store etc will often let u purchase them early, but only get stock later
so they let u wait till then. its a way to catch customers as early as feasable

That's normal. They usually start taking orders shortly before they have the items in stock.
If I remember correctly Lana wrote that shipping would start around June 19th.

Actually USPS has been the cheapest method I've shipped some things to a friend in Germany with. They beat UPS by quite a bit. I guess it all depends.

id have to pay 79.99 to have 2 BOTM figures from dans dinosaurs like thats bonkers.
