[Samrukia]

wow didn't expect this

the head looks different from what i'm used to see, was the skull ever found?

[Fembrogon]

Now that's a cool surprise! Should be smaller and more affordable than the Apatosaurus was.
Is this the first toy of the genus besides the Collecta?

As far as I remember, there is also a PNSO mini figure of it.
It sure is another pleasant surprise.

1:35 Ampelosaurus

      Beautiful surprise!

[Fembrogon]

Shoot, I think I even own that mini. Oops!
A full-size replica is welcome regardless.

Not only is this a great welcome of an updated figure for this genus, but one with colors too? Definitely an instant pickup.

Haolonggood is really trying to be my all time favorite company.

I am pretty sure. Most likely this won't exceed $60.

This Ampelosaurus was quite unexpected, but very welcome. Gr/HLG have done a good job with their sauropods so far, so I'm looking forward to more details. This figure would replace the old CollectA one in my diorama.

Only two images. Guess I'll wait until more show up before I announce this one on the blog.

[Faelrin]

Beautiful sauropod. Looks cute too. Looking forward to seeing more pics of this one.

Excellent surprise to wake up to!  A good choice of genus. Nice to see a European dinosaur getting a spot in the limelight too.

What a really nice surprise. It always makes me so happy if I see another sauropod model being announced. This will be somewhat smaller than the Apatosaurus, but it is not a very small species either. The Eofauna sauropod book lists a length estimate (measured along the spine from snout to tip of the tail) of 16 m which would be roughly 46 cm. So I would guess that the horizontal length would be perhaps somewhere around 40 cm, maybe even a bit smaller that that. I note that the Ampelosaurus cannot be the large prototype we have seen in some leaked images which was allegedly an Alamosaurus. So there may be even another sauropod in the making.

From what I quickly read, there was actually some decent fossil material found. Initially several vertebrae, ribs, chevron bones, limb bones and a pelvis were found. Later, a rather complete skeleton of a young adult about 10 m long was found, which included a disarticulated skull. Interesting is that also osteoderms were found. Initially Ampelosaurus was found in France, but later some vertebrae were also found in Italy. A skeletal reconstruction was published by Dal Sasso et al. in 2016.

Ampelosaurus? That was unexpected! I am pretty sure I'll snag this one!

[SidB]

I'm wondering if this figure will come in HLG's customary two color variants?

[BlueKrono]

Well that is cool. They've got my 💸 for this one.

[Bread]

I'm wondering if this figure will come in HLG's customary two color variants?

From what I can tell yes.

If you look at the two images we have so far, one is green body with a very orange neck to head. The other is grey body with a small use of orange with a tan streak underneath. Based on what I can tell.

I can't wait for the Ampelosaurus. So cool to own a European sauropod!Haolonggood you are the best!

There is also a Mattel JW version I think

Might be the only one, but I like how sometimes we get surprised, and other times there are WIPs shown.
