What about the (impressive) size of this argentinosaurus in 1/35 ?
Is is reasonnable ? Or exagerated ?
I know the erra terra one is smaller.

The Haolonggood Argentinosaurus has a curve length of 105 cm (this is what is listed at Lana Time Shop) and this would represent an individual of about 37 meters in real. The Era Terra Argentinosaurus has a length through the centra of 103 cm according to the video review by Dinos Dragons. So they are fairly close in size actually. The Haolonggood may appear larger because it has a somewhat steeper neck angle and therefore it is taller while the Era Terra is longer.

By saying this, it may be more intuitive for everyone to understand that this is actually a matter of cost control and profit. In fact, our profit margin for some products is very, very low. Apart from the cost of the model itself, the other costs are relatively similar. So if we have to divide this product workshop into separate batches of personnel to do these things, we will have to postpone the progress of other products in terms of time. That is to say, if there are planning errors in time management and production line time planning, it will result in direct losses. That is to say, why are some models designed early and not distributed first. Workshop production and planning follow a rhythmic sequence, with each process and link having time nodes. That is to say, I have often mentioned the issue of optimization and upgrading before.Thank you very much for your suggestions. Perhaps many things we do are not perfect, but we strive to do our best.

Thank you for clarifying this. It is perfectly understandable that Haolonggood as a company needs to make profit from their products and minimize financial risks. I think that in the case of some products with very low product margins (and these are more likely to be the smaller figures as the costs for research, design, prototyping, developing the paint design etc. are not much different from larger figures) everybody would understand if the price is increased by a reasonable amount to make them economically more feasible and create a higher profit.

Yes totally, the neck angle is different, the HLG is more vertical.
The Terra Erra might be more accurate: better tail, and teeth (maybe not perfect).
Though the HLG has a better beak like mouth.
Heads are different, but they are speculated anyway.
Nostrills on the Terra Erra might be to high though ?

I think we tend to have this idea that production costs of a model scale linearly with size, but they don't of course. Research is fixed, and labor and materials involved in painting, packaging, etc., probably scale logarithmically. I would guess that the labor costs for painting a model 100 cm long are only about double the costs for painting a model 10 cm long. Pretty much only the cost of actual PVC pellets is linear-ish, and I'm guessing that's quite cheap compared to the labor.

The model at 1/35 scale equates to a 36.75m animal, a smidge bigger than the single known specimen of Argentinosaurus, which was probably 33-35m long. However, we have only a single Argentinosaurus, and the chances that there were 37m long individuals alive at some point is in my opinion, very, very high. if we have learned anything from recent sauropod histological research, its that dang near every sauropod skeleton we have found is not done growing, and some not by a long shot.

Everyone talking about the Argentinosaurus, but dang, is that Huayangosaurus impressive...

[ceratopsian]

It's a little gem.

Green & Orange. Wildest colors for a stegosaur.

I love the pose and color scheme on this one. A shame only a few will be able to enjoy it.

[Rayeknor]

Any photos somewhere from the expo yet?

Yeah... my suspicions from the factory vid were correct. 001 final product doesn't look nearly as nice as the prototype unfortunately. It's certainly not a bad colour scheme by any means, but it just doesn't blow me away like the original colour scheme did. The pivot to being more brown than purple probably contributed to this. The orange streak looks a bit out of place on the final version as well.

I agree. I ordered the purple version based off of the one in that beach photo. This isn't as impressive to me. However I still love the colors and I'm sure I will be extremely pleased with the product in hand.
