Looks like a modern version of the classic Carnegie Apatosaurus.

It's a repaint by Mr Lang Yu, shown on Paleofiguras. I assume it will come up for sale on Amazon.com. His others did. I have the Pentaceratops he painted and I'm sure someone else on here recently showed the Pachy they bought.

 Seriously? That would be too nice of you :) . How come you might get more than one?

To get all three colors. 😬

 :))  That is of course an option. Let's hope we all won't get the same pterosaur randomly.
 May I send you a PM if this is going to happen? We might find something to trade.

When will this Apatosaurus be listed on amazon? I'm certainly considering it as it's definitely a not so usual colorscheme or color pallet used.

Yes, of course. I think the odds of a coin flip coming up tails four times in a row is unlikely.

That Sinoceratops looks good !!

There is no end to the energy of Haolonggood and V @vampiredesign!

And their announcement:
"The last new product in 2023, looking forward to December 30, Beijing time" "Sinoceratops 1:35"

Would prefer a few other Ceratopsians over Sinoceratops, but this one still looks good. Will buy it instead of PNSO's version. Need them to keep making this group at least until an Einiosaurus comes out.

Sinoceratops wouldn't have been at the top of my list either.  Nevertheless I'm pretty happy!

My #1 favorite ceratopsian. This will be hard to say no to, but I'm very happy with my PNSO and I'm trying not to start any more collections!

This Sinoceratops is gorgeous, and I'm glad I skipped out on PNSO's.

I certainly can't keep up with these releases, though, but I will say what an excellent lineup for Haolonggood 2023!

V @vampiredesign bravo and you've certainly outdone yourself!

Now, I will most likely be waiting on the Euoplocephalus to be released to then purchase the last few recent releases we've gotten. I gotta say, that's one of my most anticipated reveals/sneak peeks so far, the Euoplocephalus.

This Sinoceratops looks really great. I like that the two new ceratopsians have paint schemes that look more classy and natural and that the wiggly white lines have disappeared. In combination with the more finely textured surface they are able to produce now these make for wonderful figures.

Haolonggood has really been the rising star of this year 2023. Who could have imagined from the very first releases in spring that they would bring out such an amazing selection of figures? They have in my view made several important achievements in 2023 alone. First, they have reached a level of quality in terms of sculpt fineness and detail that can match up with PNSO, which until now was clearly the top company. Second, they have reached a quite high level of scientific accuracy that places them as one of the top three players in the field. I count in this category also Eofauna and PNSO. Third, they have matured their paint schemes to the point that their models look very natural and real. Fourth, they have been bold enough to make large sauropod models in 1:35 scale and they will make even larger ones in 2024. Fifth, they are the best company when it comes to interaction with their customer base, they frequently ask for feedback and they implement that feedback in their next models. So judging from the journey of Haolonggood in 2023 and all the models that have been teased already, I believe that 2024 will be an even stronger year for them.

I disagree with this. Eofauna and PNSO are both more consistent with scientific accuracy than HLG. Safari as well.

Good thing is this can be solved with more research, or asking the community for advice. And since they've already showed us W.I.P.s of some of their upcoming works, here's to hoping next year their figures will be more scientifically accurate. This is my only gripe with them, really. Their paint apps are great, and so are the prices and the interaction with fans.

Anyways, it's evident HLG has experienced a massive growth this year, and I congratulate them for that. I hope 2024 will be an even more successful year for the company!

That blue and orange one kind of looks like the original BotM Styracosaurus. Nice to see another figure of this genus out there (aside from the recently released tiny Meng one), other then PNSO's and the BotM.

I really am appreciating HLG's ceratopsian releases, especially since both Safari and PNSO have taken long breaks from producing them.
