I really wonder what is going on with PNSO. While Haolonggood is showcasing their models at exhibitions and have just released a catalogue with an amazing lineup for 2024, there is nothing but silence from PNSO. Now it is already over 2 months that they have released anything. Not even new books or other educational material. Was it like this in the past, I mean that they would not release anything for quite some time and then maybe release several figures at once?

We still have 10 days of March left

I'm very curious too as to what PNSO is going to do in the face of this remarkable HLG onslaught. PNSO now seems to be facing what other manufacturers had to endure when PNSO was in its high output phase.

Folks can grumble about it all they like but given how herbivore heavy HLG's catalogue is looking, that leaves the market for theropods wide open for PNSO to continue to fill.

[Daspletodave]

I don't think PNSO and HLG care what the other company is doing. They both have their own agendas, and primarily serve the billion-plus Chinese market. There is plenty of room for both, even when they happen to issue the exact same species.  PNSO may appeal to a slightly more upscale market due to pricey extras like booklets, posters (and even blank sheets of paper!) while fixating on one type of dinosaur at a time. HLG seems to appeal to a different customer base that appreciates a lower cost product with more diversity (herbivores!)
Both companies will continue to issue theropods and herbivores and if their current rate of output continues I am sure that most collectors' wish lists will soon be satisfied.

Can't believe I'm saying this but for once I wouldn't mind a theropod from PNSO

Balance of power

[Tracewyrm!]

(and even blank sheets of paper!)

I remember when I first got Cameron and opened the envelope to find, among other stuff, that stack of blank drawing pages. PNSO's figures are generally such good quality that I can't even get mad at the silly extra stuff but seeing blank papers in the box got a laugh out of me.

Maybe the next T. rex will come with a set of pencils and some markers to spare.

while I've appreciated the time to save money and catch up on some other figures I must say... I miss pnso

I've been wondering why PNSO is taking so long to release another figure.  I was waiting for PNSO to confirm or disprove the rumour list before deciding if I would buy some figures by other companies, but I've stopped that completely now and have bought the Haolonggood Chasmosaurus (which I love and probably wouldn't replace even if PNSO makes the same species) and the CollectA deluxe Neovenator (which looks better than CollectA's most recent Neovenator).

It is increasingly strange what material PNSO is posting on their YouTube channel. Learn to draw the domestic pig was my highlight. Next maybe learn to draw the Coronavirus.

They also have a line of modern-life animals models, so it is not that strange.

The wait is over! Introducing PNSO's Lufengosaurus!









Makes me wonder if PNSO is going to revisit all their old vinyl species and remake them!

[suspsy]

Well, it looks like that supposedly leaked list was indeed a hoax, as it did not include Lufengosaurus anywhere. Good thing for that saltshaker.

[thomasw100]

This one was a bit unexpected I have to say. I was almost certain that we would get a spinosaur. But what a beautiful model, the color scheme is just amazing.

[ceratopsian]

A dream come true for me.  I've been looking for a good Lufengosaurus ever since I visited the dinosaur museum in Lufeng in April 2019.  (I hadn't bought the vinyl version when it came out because it looked too starved for my taste.)  And I'm very glad to see PNSO is producing something after the (relatively!) long drought.  And sauropodomorphs are so neglected by model producers.

[Concavenator]

Not a species I'm interested in (specifically looking for a Plateosaurus), but hats off to them nonetheless, this release is truly innovative/different. That is, fills an important gap, we will finally be getting a good figure of a basal sauropodomorph. And it's known from good remains, too.

Notice how even something as overdue as a Chasmosaurus figure is still not as innovative as this Lufengosaurus, as the former, even if particularly overdue within ceratopsids, still belongs to a very well-represented group, while basal sauropodomorphs ("prosauropods") are very blatantly ignored.

Well, it looks like that supposedly leaked list was indeed a hoax, as it did not include Lufengosaurus anywhere.

I wouldn't discard that list just yet. Sure, now it looks unlikely to be real, but remember how in 2022 PNSO released Zhuchengtyrannus amid of other confirmed releases:

Rumors came from Chinese dino toy forum moderator, hopefully this time it's more reliable (he did say "feel free to thrash me in the thread if the list is wrong"  )

Torosaurus was listed separately after Triceratops, probably means both will be released.

Triceratops
Centrosaurus
Styracosaurus
Acrocanthosaurus
Sinraptor
Iguanodon
Torosaurus
Tsintaosaurus
*All brand new molds, skin textures are on same level as Parasaurolophus.

We will be able to deny the list's veracity once March is over and we haven't seen an Euoplocephalus from them.

Acting as devil's advocate, the list is partially true. It mentioned an Edmontosaurus being released in January and no new release in February, just as it happened. Although by the time the list came out, the Edmontosaurus had already been revealed and it seemed as if there wasn't going to be any new release in February.  Still, whoever made that list made it believable (in case it's fake), as it mentioned several species I could see PNSO revisiting: Gigantoraptor, Ceratosaurus and Chunkingosaurus.

The intense competition between PNSO and Haolonggood is starting to pay off! Both brands are improving with every release, not only in terms of sculptural quality, but also in terms of paint application and color schemes, which are becoming less and less toy-like. This figure is probably one of the best in terms of finesse, quality and realism on PVC!

[SenSx]

Very nice figure, but would have prefered a Plateosaurus for sure.

Hope they redo their vinyl Shantungosaurus.
