HAOLONGGOOD - Hopes and Dreams

[Halichoeres]

@Concavenator you're right, a small dinosaur with some small non-dinosaurs would be right up my alley!

Creatures from Permian Period.

Sauropods with Detachable tails & necks.

1/35 Shantungosaurus , Plateosaurus , Hatzegopteryx , Pseudosuchians.

Definitely with you on Permian stuff and pseudosuchians.

[Turkeysaurus]

Creatures from Permian Period, Pseudosuchians.

Maybe there is no demand but did any brand try making top quality ones? No competition can be an advantage.

I mean, I think Safari and CollectA have made some great pseudosuchians and Permian animals, but they've barely scratched the surface of what's possible!

It would be great to see PNSO, Haolonggood, Rebor level details & paint though. Arizonasaurus by Bullyland is only one i have.

So I was thinking... Velociraptor is easily one of the most famous dinosaurs. And of course it is much more popular than Plateosaurus. But for a company focused in 1:35 (or thereabouts) scale like HLG or PNSO, for the time being, I think a Plateosaurus would be more likely to happen than a Velociraptor! Just on a basis of animal size alone.

I mean, I know Plateosaurus is a "prosauropod" and that these are blatantly ignored by figure companies (PNSO's recent Lufengosaurus as I said is sort of a miracle), but I'm pretty confident if you asked these companies which one they'd rather make, Velociraptor or Plateosaurus (if forced to choose), they would answer Plateosaurus.

[Halichoeres]

Yeah, for those specific companies. But nearly every other company has made a Velociraptor (even if the wing feathers are a little off).

I'm DYING for a new Plateosaurus! I love the CollectA version that I have but an up-to-date one would be super nice!

I wonder what is the size limit for Haolonggood or PNSO to make top quality feathered figure? 5 m Utahraptor would make 14.3 cm or 5.7 inches at 1/35 scale. 6 m is 17 cm or 6.8 inches.

I think we will soon see something along these lines. Haolonggood has been slowly producing smaller species, with the Kosmoceratops being the smallest one so far. They have announced a Huayangosaurus for this year which would have about the same length, but would be even thinner than the Kosmoceratops. If this works out well, an Utahraptor or Austroraptor would seem quite possible.

[Concavenator]

If this works out well, an Utahraptor or Austroraptor would seem quite possible.

If they (or somebody else, for that matter) release an Austroraptor, that would be one of the most exciting releases I would have seen in a while. And it would also be the first non-articulated figure of an unenlagiine in the market, and thereby the first good figure of this iconic dromaeosaurid as well.

In addition, I hope the Huayangosaurus means the umpteenthly-requested Kentrosaurus will be coming at some point too. Size is no longer a problem, and Huayangosaurus is literally the proof.

[Ludodactylus]

Kentrosaurus and Plateosaurus would be nice. I'd also like a Tenontosaurus as long as I'm wishing.

[Torvosaurus]

A Tenontosaurus would be great! And a 1/35 scale Argentinosaurus, because I'm not sure if that is or isn't on their list right now.

They had a very large titanosaur in this teaser image with 4 large sauropods that they plan to release. So far Alamosaurus and Mamenchisaurus have been produced and the two other ones were interpreted to be Brachiosaurus and Argentinosaurus. In a recent message on the Haolonggood New for 2024 thread vampiredesign indicated that they still have plans to make these two, but possibly rather next year than this year. This seemed to not have been decided yet.

Next year would be good. I really, really, really exceeded my budget for hobbies this year, and it's not even June. I don't really want to explain to the Mrs. that I spent another $120+ for a dinosaur.

If Haolonggood keeps making medium to large species only, I hope they will make:

1. Tuojiangosaurus

2. Plateosaurus

3. Herrerasaurus

4. Torvosaurus tanneri, based on the Elvis specimen.

5. Ceratosuchops and Riparovenator as repaints of the Haolonggood Baryonyx!

6. Austroraptor

7. Medusaceratops

8. Achelousaurus

9. Anchiceratops


I also hope to see a Haolonggood 2024 carnivorous dinosaur soon!

[Ludodactylus]

I'm really surprised at the scarcity of Achelousaurus and Anchiceratops figures.

Most of what I'd want to see is already in the pipeline, such as Saichania, Styracosaurus etc.

I guess I'd like to see Saurolophus, Kritosaurus, genera like that.

[Sim]

I hope Haolonggood spreads out their upcoming ceratopsids and theropods among their other dinosaurs dinosaurs, rather than release them one after the other...  I am eager to have a Haolonggood Saichania and Huayangosaurus though!

Yes can we get a Saurolophus please

I get the feeling Haolonggood have realised herbivores are their strength and are playing to that.

Herbivores being their strength isn't a bad thing. Most carnivores are so similar within a clade, for example Charcarodontosauridae has Giganotosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, Mapusaurus, Tyrannotitan and Meraxes, which all look more or less alike. The Tyrannosauridea isn't much different: Tyrannosaurus, Tarbosaurus, Daspletosaurus, and even Albertosaurus and Gorgosaurus are all very similar. Ceratopsia, Stegosauria or even the Saropodomorpha, and other herbivorous clades, have much more to offer in the variety of body types and associated frills, spikes, bosses, etc. to make more interesting creatures to model.

[Elengassen]

T @Torvosaurus I agree it's a good thing they've been focusing on herbivores, as that way we could keep getting herbivores while PNSO were in their theropods-only phase. I wouldn't mind if PNSO focuses more on theropods and HLG on the rest, as PNSO's theropods are in my opinion by far the best of any company. (As long as they don't go back to liplessness  )
Good point about morphological diversity, although for me this matters much less than genus diversity. To be fair most theropods share the same basic body plan
