HAOLONGGOOD - New For 2023

[Faelrin]

Thanks for the input folks. I'll let it air out overnight and see how it smells tomorrow.

[TheCambrianCrusader]

Due to the presence of Nanuqsaurus with the Prehistoric Planet Pachyrhinosaurus, I believe the environment they were shown in is the Prince Creek Formation.  I was looking at its environment on Wikipedia and it mentions the coldest temperatures there were on average 2 to 4 degrees celsius, so possibly not cold enough for snow to have been regular?  It also says the Prince Creek Formation would have probably experienced 120 days of darkness due to its location, would a round pupil be more appropriate if the species didn't migrate away, since the slit pupils reduce light entering the eye?

Musk oxen have an elongated pupil much like other Caprines

But they also have to deal with snow blindness I think, so a horizontal pupil makes sense as P @PoptartDoodle described.

Thanks for the input folks. I'll let it air out overnight and see how it smells tomorrow.

As already said by T @thomasw100, it's most likely the styrofoam. I ordered quite a lot of figures through AliExpress that came packaged in styrofoam and they all had this peculiar chemical smell to them. It's most likely not the model itself - no worries.

Enjoy your Ouranosaurus!

[Flaffy]

Both my Ouranosaurus had this smell, along with many other in-box figures. It's probably the plasticiser of either the packaging material or figure itself (or both!). Just let the figure air out for a bit and it'll be fine. It's always been standard practise for me to let any remaining plasticisers evaporate on new figures before handling them. An unavoidable reality of collecting plastic models.

Paleofiguras has recently shared the promo video for the Edmontonia. It's freaking awesome! Let's go guys!

[Bread]

Edmontonia looks great! Not sure which variant I am leaning towards though. Probably the brown variant due to blue being pretty apparent in my collection already.

Anyways, not sure if these have been posted here yet but here are some PNSO Pachyrhinosaurus and Haolonggood's Pachyrhinosaurus comparisons shared by Paleofigures via facebook.







Hm... I gotta say I prefer the different pose of the PNSO, but I've never been happy about the boss reconstruction. Whether or not it is more accurate, I am unaware of this structure's accuracy on this animal. So I have to say I prefer Haolonggood's, plus this posture makes it more convincing to purchase both variants for the herd possibilities.

[Faelrin]

The blue or green one almost reminds me of the Battat. Will need the higher res images to get a better idea of which color to pick (if not eventually both), but man I am so stoked for this Edmontonia. I am super tempted to order it once it is available, even though I'm supposed to be saving up for Cyberzoic's kickstarter.

Anyone have an idea of which species this represents?

Edit: The type species is E. longiceps, which is from the Horseshoe Canyon Formation, and maybe the Judith River Formation, where as the other species E. rugosidens is from the Dinosaur Park formation. The latter would display better alongside animals like Corythosaurus, Lamebosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Chasmosaurus, Centrosaurus, Styracosaurus, Gorgosaurus, etc, where as the former would display better alongside Pachyrhinosaurus (P. canadensis, but there's no figures of it currently that I can think of, with most if not all based on P. lakustai), Ornithomimus, Edmontosaurus (E. regalis), Albertosaurus, etc.

Could any of the editors for this forum update the first post with pics of all the species new this year. This thread gets a lot of chatter and it's hard to follow it constantly to see if newer posts relate to a new announcement. It's easy to check the OP to find out
thank you

[Perotorum]

i believe it's the opposite, rectangular pupil helps with panoramic vision. also, goats' eyes work such way that the pupil is always parallel to the ground

Yes, thanks for the correction.  I looked it up and you're right.  What I had originally read I think had switched an effect of vertical and horizontal pupils.  However, I'm not sure such a large species as Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai would benefit from horizontal pupils?

Large bovines also have horizontal pupils, although less pronounced than goats, although I imagine pupil shape in herbivorous dinosaurs may have had more to do with the trophic level the animal ate at, in much a similar way with modern mammals were the lower they eat the more such an adaptation would be useful.

Paleofiguras has published pictures of a designer edition of the Haolonggood Nasutoceratops. Does anyone know where this edition will be available? Lana Time Shop?

[ceratopsian]

The last custom paint sold on amazon.com T @thomasw100.  They won't ship to the UK.  I didn't bother to see if this one is there and has sold yet.  Items that won't ship to one's country are invisible when you search - but if you put in a US postcode you can then see them!

I also agree. We know vampiredesign is really busy so I bet he is unable to update it at this time. Could we please have someone update it? Thank you.

If anyone could copy this to the op that would be great.

A review I found of the LvFang brown Pachyrhinosaurus in Spanish.

Interesting to me that nobody complains about corncobbyism with these, but PNSO's Wilson is savaged for having literally the same skin texture...

It's tough being a T-rex that's not 'perfect'.

Indeed. Haolonggoood's Nasutoceratops is gushed over...






... looks like a scoop of ice cream dipped in rainbow sprinkles!

Granted the Pachy is much, much better. Hopefully that is Haolonggood going forward.

[Gwangi]

Probably because there are 3 Nasutoceratops figurines and... how many Tyrannosaurus?
