HAOLONGGOOD - New For 2023

[Abobo]

[Dilophosaurus_8o]

While not exactly outdated, it still is a rather drab looking figure honestly... and even if pennacious feathering in Ornithomimids is uncertain, Based on preservations from other Maniraptoriformes show pennacious feathering. Also, the model lacks a pygostyle (tail fan) which is probably present based on remains of Deinocheirus.

Ornithomimosaurs are the most basal maniraptoriformes, it's possible they didn't have pennaceous feathering.  Additionally, therizinosaurians which are more derived than ornithomimosaurs, show filamentous not pennaceous feathers.  Pennaceous feathering isn't known outside of Pennaraptora.  The pygostyle of non-bird dinosaurs can't be used to support the presence of a tail feather fan as 1. Beipiaosaurus has a pygostyle and its tail feathers are preserved showing it didn't have a tail fan; and 2. Plesiosaurians have pygostyles but no-one thinks they had feathers.

Apologies, my knowledge is not quite extensive enough to figure all that out, I apologize for being rude. I learned something new today

Those look so cool, @Abobo! Those are your photos, I assume? How's the stability?

[suspsy]

I already have a LEGO stand ready for this one, because I do not believe it will remain standing on its own.

Annoyingly my pair of Dilophosaurus seems stuck in transit.  No movement for days, despite tracking telling me customs have been cleared.  Wish me luck!!

hello nope from Paleofiguras facebook

They're gorgeous!

To use an old expression, HLG has come a 'country mile' with their theropods.

That happens especially around holidays. One day it's in customs, a few days later or a week it's delivered.

I understand very well that Alamosaurus originally planned to be a surprise for China at the end of the year. Before the re planning, there were already other new products on the production line, and Alamosaurus' paint plan is currently in progress. Of course, my arrival was definitely prepared for a surprise. (Alamosaurus has other new products before) Don't worry, we need to order some other appetizers first.I'm very sorry for causing you anxiety. I hope the next side dishes match your taste.

Thanks for the update. Excited to see both the appetizers and the giant-sized main course.

Don't forget dessert

These look fantastic, and seem to balance well. Haolonggood is the gift that keeps on giving to this hobby.

[Duna]

I thought I'd never say this, but they are more beautiful in hand than in the picture. The colors blend so well and are so deep (like the famous GR carcharodontosaurus). And they balance so well in that refreshing pose.
I can't wait for my grey to arrive!

HLG doubled in quality when it comes to theropods, these look incredible!

V @vampiredesign  I love all the teasers. I can't wait for new teasers! The dinosaurs are so beautiful and amazingly coloured. Still hope smaller species will be done too. So many amazing prehistoric creatures!

I'm sure the Alamosaurus will look great and I hope it will sell well, but I'm not interested in huge fragmentary titanosaurs. It's very likely I will find the "appetizers" more interesting.

An appetizer that I think would turn out quite delicious is a Kentrosaurus. Come on, at this point we need to start thinking about creating a petition for it at change.org.  Gallimimus and Austroraptor would be so cool and unique too, not to say overdue. Come to think about it, we haven't got a feathered dinosaur from Haolonggood yet (excluding the Therizinosaurus, wasn't that a collaboration with GR Toys?). That has to be fixed!

Haolonggood has a good release strategy in my opinion. They offer a nice mix of models from various clades and they alternate theropods with herbivores now. And large with smaller species. So they have something to offer for most collectors, even if not everyone will buy all of their models. It appears that even PNSO has learned from them now that some double releases with a theropod and a herbivore are a success story. I appreciate that they are confident enough to make some large sauropods. Kentrosaurus may be a bit too small but who knows? In the meantime, Dinosauria Creatures has actually two models of Kentrosaurus in their portfolio from two different designers.

The Therizinosaurus is a feathered dinosaur from Haolonggood.  But I would like more feathered dinosaurs from Haolonggood, they've improved since the Therizinosaurus.  Austroraptor is at the top of my wishlist, Gallimimus would be great too.  I think vampiredesign has been clear Haolonggood won't be making Kentrosaurus.  I highly recommend the excellent CollectA Kentrosaurus which is 1:35 scale and in my opinion underrated.
