HAOLONGGOOD - New For 2023

And finally, the dynamic Dilophosaurus duo! Been craving a decent Dilophosaurus for the shelves and here we got not one but two!

Spoiler









Love the almost JP novel inspired color scheme of the standing sculpt, although the teeth could be a bit more carefully painted in my opinion.







The transition between the vibrant colors of the sitting version are so well done. This paint job could have easily been a gaudy mess but HG handled it to a T.









And don't they just make a lovely couple?

Mamenchisaurus?? It's a 3D render that spins. Posted on the instagram account

If we compare it to the picture that circulated a while ago, Mamenchisaurus (which species?) seems to me the most likely as well. Omeisaurus would have a similar shape, but is generally smaller. If this is going to be one of the next releases, they are really going strong.

Likely Mamenchisaurus, but I'd kill for a Xinjiangtitan or Omeisaurus. It's Mamenchisauridae taken to the extreme.

Concavenator

Funny how most club-tailed sauropod figures are Mamenchisaurus hochuanensis instead of Shunosaurus. Size does matter, after all!

I updated this announcement with additional information.


In your article you state that the limited edition of the Alamosaurus would be custom painted and the buyer could choose the own design. I have not understood it this way, rather it appears that the third color variant would be the plain brown one. Alternatively, can you point me to the website or article where is explicitly stated that the color scheme could be customized?

I can't understand that three individuals so far have given this stellar figure one star.

Maybe too big for them? IDK.

People who regret getting the PNSO Alamosaurus.

ceratopsian

Being too big for their collection (or too expensive?) hardly seems a fair reason to give the model one star though!

Maybe I wouldn't give it a one star, but I'm definitely disappointed in the colouring patterns and will probably refrain from buying one because of that.

There seem to be a small handful of people that give just about everything one star. Doesn't matter what it is. PNSO, HLG, CollectA, Safari, BotM. None of these companies make 1-star figures. I recently reviewed the CollectA Mosasaurus and it got a few 1-star votes. There's no way it deserved them.

That would be Everything Dinosaur.

 I'm also not sure if the additional information is correct.
 According to LanaTime there's colour scheme A, B & C ... plus base and pterosaur when you order before the end of the year.
 There might be one or two of these more expensive "special colour editions" vampiredesign is offering from time to time though.
 And the estimated shipping time would be March 2024. But hey, we will see. When it's there it's there :) .

To quote an old Batman movie, "Some people just like to see the world burn." Don't know what else it could be. They could be up to worse mischief, no doubt.

Well, I'll stick with what ED reported unless someone can actually show that their information is erroneous.

On whether the Limited Edition is paint yourself, I'm not sure. I had understood it came painted in a solid plain colour. The publicity shots show an unpainted base on which a brown plainly painted dinosaur is standing. Perhaps the safest thing is to contact Everything Dinosaur (or another seller with good English/German) and ask for clarification.

We could also just ask HLG directly regarding this, V @vampiredesign could the situation regarding colours A, B and Limited Edition C be clarified?
