Quote from: Tracewyrm! on November 06, 2023, 01:40:56 PMSo, I wanted to do a little rough size comparison. I am assuming that both of the measurements are at the top of the head (28.5 and 38 cm respectively). Now, the image I'm using for the HLG isn't perfect of course, but it should be good enough, if it is a real leak of the figure and not some other sauropod they're working on at the same time.)



Thoughts? As an extra, a rough approximation of HLG's figure on the previous 1:35 chart


Thank you so much, this is super helpful, especially since I have the Lingwulong

It's not the size of the Alamosaurus, it's what you do with its sculpt, paint, and pose that counts!

Is it too much to ask for all of the above?

Honestly if it's accurate and big I'm good. We know they can do great paint work. Pose..I'm more into stability there, move the neck and tail all you want but leave the feet firmly planted.

It's really kind of thrilling seeing this happen with PNSO and HLG. HLG is more of the under dog trying to get established while PNSO has done what they have for awhile now and don't seem inclined to change much.  I loved their big vinyl figures but they went a different route.  Would have been perfect for an Alamosaurus.

As a pair, particularly if HLG does a color variant fairly close to the PNSO  one, they would be most impressive. It would be nice to do 'both/and, instead of 'either/or' , if financially possible. Might have to wait for a sale.

Oh I don't doubt I'll end up adding both to my shelves seeing as I have no self control

I strongly suspect I'll be going for the sauropod herd look too avatar_Carnoking @Carnoking.

I'm torn tbh, I suppose I'll have to wait and see the price of hlg's and maybe a comparison between the two. On the one hand it would be nice to have multiple but they may not fit well together.

If we go by the price of the Apatosaurus and Ampelosaurus, I would guess the Haolonggood Alamosaurus would be 100 to 150 USD.

I'm not sure which yet, but bracing my wallet for an Alamosaurus one way or another.

I reckon price will be a big deciding factor between the HLG and PNSO versions.

Meeting the same species is inevitable. Everyone has more choices and combinations. Surprises keep coming. ^-^

It sometimes feels like the messages from vampiredesign rather come from the Oracle of Delphi.

Fully agree with that. The sauropod output alone is amazing, with two great models this year and a true giant waiting around the corner. Also the consistent improvement in sculpting and paint applications is really remarkable.

I'm already worrying that I cannot fit PNSO's in my shelf, let alone the extra centimeters added to Haolonggood's to now consider this too...

Just cut off the head and put it on the shelf above!

Yup, I was looking at my display options too, and 38 cm is about my max, so I'll probably go with PNSO but we shall see

Funny enough, I had an idea to cut out a hole of my shelf with the sauropods partial neck and head peaking through it.

But yeah... um... sauropod surgery from what I've heard doesn't work out most of the time.

In my case too, PNSO's seems to already have my vote. Anything bigger is just not possible for me unfortunately.

V @vampiredesign sorry to bother you, but I had a quick question. Are you planning to make your megaraptor with lips?
