Which do you prefer, Haolonggood or PNSO

[ceratopsian]

The world cannot always be reduced to simple distinctions @Stegotyranno420. I won't vote either.

[bmathison1972]

It really depends, but the more and more Haolonggood I see and get, the more it's becoming one of my favorite companies. For dinos, it's probably second to Safari Ltd! We'll have to see how their diversity grows overall compared to PNSO.

[BlueKrono]

To echo what others have said, species diversity is most important to me. PNSO has the longevity, so HG might start catching up once they start putting out some marine animals. The articulation of the PNSO Dunkleosteus would be hard to surpass though. One of the coolest prehistoric toys ever made.

[Faelrin]

I forgot to mention in my post last night that I did not vote either, because once again, no option for both.

[John]

Both lines include some of the best dinosaur models ever made,like Haolonggood's Carcharodontosaurus and PNSO's 2023 Yangchuanosaurus.Therefore it's not easy to choose one over the other.

[Stegotyranno420]

The point of the poll is, "if you had to choose, pick one" for the fun and curiosity of it. I let voters have the optuon to change votes too.
I definitely understand why one would pick both.

If I were forced to choose,then I would have to go with PNSO.

PNSO. While I find some HLG figures quite appealing, especially their ceratopsians, I actually never pulled the trigger on any of those. PNSO figures are more expensive, but when it comes to the quality of the sculpts and the paint (not the color schemes themselvers but the quality of how it is applied) I find the price gap justifiable.

While PNSO's diversity this year is almost nonexistent, they do have a track record of delivering one of, if not the best figure of a lot of species in the last couple of years. That makes it almost impossible for other brands to catch up within the first year.

[Concavenator]

I agree with @postsaurischian and @ceratopsian . I feel like there's no point in comparing them or choosing between them. I can't choose one over the other. Both have their pros and their cons and each company has their own, unique style (not just PNSO and HLG, but every single one).

I'm not sure how you can make that claim if you don't have any HLG models to directly compare to PNSO's. With some figures PNSO clearly comes out on top, like with theropods. But with others there is no clear difference in quality. The ceratopsians are a great point of comparison and in that instance I think the HLG Pentaceratops and Pachyrhinosaurus are better than most of PNSO's ceratopsians. As a collector of both I feel like I often overpay on PNSO and I get a bargain with HLG.

[FerretGoose]

I like PNSO's sculpts, and HLG's pricepoint. 

[Halichoeres]

I've been annoyed with PNSO lately, because after a 2021 in which they made something for pretty much everyone, they've sort of retrenched and are just making the one apparently most profitable type of animal. (I believe someone mentioned capitalism.) The fact that they also haven't made any miniatures for over 5 years doesn't help. So this year I have certainly bought more Haolonggood and that is likely to continue.

But if I had to choose to live in one of two alternate universes, one where PNSO had never existed, and one in which HLG never existed, the choice would be easy. PNSO has put out a lot of products, and I'm glad to have many of them. I mean, I don't get mad at Nanmu for making mostly theropods because they have never interested me; the reason it gets my goat with PNSO is that it feels like a step backward.

[postsaurischian]

 In order that it might end in a draw I voted for HAOLONGGOOD .

[EuropaSuchus]

Haolonggood for good figures of underrepresented herbivores, but I don't really like their theropods.

PNSO makes epic wonderful theropods, but some of their herbies suffer from weird unexpected flaws (Corytho head size, Iguanodon head shape, overall look of both Mamenchisaurs).

So they are fitting together, complementing each other.

[Federreptil]

Sometimes both!
Every brand has its great moments and some figures with flaws. Because PNSO seems to concentrate at present on theropods it is fantastic that Haolonggood brings e.g. an Ouranosaurus or an Ampelosaurus. The speed of PNSO internal species updates is amazing. And it is a wonder how many new models both brands this year publish.

[Turkeysaurus]

I gotta go with PNSO. I have 3 HLG but more than 10 PNSO.

HLG PROS :
1/35 sauropods
Cheaper
More colorful
2-3 color options

CONS:
More inacurate
Less details & worse paintjob
Cartoony/Weird eyes
Theropods can't even be compared to PNSO

My 1st & 2nd favorite companies. 3rd is REBOR.

[thomasw100]

Both PNSO and Haolonggood have their strengths (and weaknesses). And it is sometimes difficult to compare because both companies have a different focus. But in the cases where both have produced the same dinosaur genus and an immediate comparison can therefore be made, I would say the PNSO model is always better in terms of scientific accuracy, sculpt quality and paint quality, with two notable exceptions. Compare for example the Edmontosaurus, Baryonyx, Allosaurus, Daspletosaurus, Carnotaurus, Sinoceratops, Pachyrhinosaurus, Wuerhosaurus, Spinosaurus, Therizinosaurus and Megalodon. The exceptions are the Stegosaurus, where I would consider both equal and then also the Alamosaurus where I would also consider them equal with some features better in case of the PNSO and others better in case of Haolonggood.

[Baryonyx]

PNSO have subtle realistic poses.

Haolongood 95% walking and looking straight ahead please can they look to one side or another etc. I was surprised as models have been released from the teaser that this was the finished pose; to me they look so unrealistic together because of this. No one seems to notice it

Of course much better price and choice of species than PNSO, I really appreciate this!

[Elengassen]

Compare for example the Edmontosaurus, Baryonyx, Allosaurus, Daspletosaurus, Carnotaurus, Sinoceratops, Pachyrhinosaurus, Wuerhosaurus, Spinosaurus, Therizinosaurus and Megalodon.

I'm not sure everyone would agree with all of those. The Haolonggood Edmontosaurus doesn't seem inferior to the PNSO from what I can tell, unless in terms of size. The Haolonggood Sinoceratops has good paintwork and finer scale detail than the PNSO (although I personally prefer the look of PNSO's). The Haolonggood Pachyrhinosaurus, I believe, is considered better than PNSO's by a lot of people.
I do agree with most of the others on your list though. If it's theropods we're talking about, PNSO is head and shoulders above Haolonggood. I do still think the Haolonggood Spinosaurus and Daspletosaurus are good figures though, as well as some of their other theropods.

[Faelrin]

A bit of both. Haolonggood continues to impress with their diverse selection of herbivores (and a few classic carnivores) with many on my wishlist, but I adore (now) older PNSO models like their 2021 Parasaurolophus or 2022 Deinocheirus, and others like last year's Saurophaganax/Allosaurus, Meraxes, etc, and this year's Lufengosaurus (although it definitely needs a Sinosaurus to go with it) that I'm behind on.

Edit: Lol I forgot I had already responded to this thread earlier.
