HAOLONGGOOD - New for 2024

[Quiversaurus]

Paleofiguras also mentioned that Haolonggood is going to make Shantungosaurus and Mosasaurus

Woohoo Shantungosaurus, I really hope that's true.

Will it be a similar size to their Stegosaurus?

[Sim]

I'm very happy to see the Utahceratops!  It's made my day!  I probably will get a Haolonggood Shantungosaurus, but I doubt I'll get a Mosasaurus as I'm happy with my CollectA version.  However this gives me hope Haolonggood will make more marine reptiles, I'd love a Futabasaurus and Cymbospondylus from Haolonggood!

[SidB]

No interest in another Mosasaurus. I don't believe it could top the last CollectA one. Wish we could get Prognathodon or Gnathomortis or Plotosaurus for a change.

Shantungosaurus sounds tempting, but it'll probably have a painful price tag.

I have the old PNSO (vinyl) colossus from back in the day. It's hollow, but the price is right - I already own it.

Photos from Lana looking normal colored again, either someone has a very crazy camera or there is two different figures of the 001 purple version floating around.

R @Rayeknor Not sure I'm seeing what you're seeing there. I based my final judgement on both HLG's video and Lana's pics, and neither quite match up to the beach or carpark prototypes. @Blade-of-the-Moon notes that the spots are much more obvious now similar to 130 (mottled brown), rather than being subtly blended with the base purple, which has now changed to a brownish-maroon?

I think it looks great...the purple is subtle, I love it. Most of the pictures so far have had odd lighting, which either exaggerates or diminishes the purple hues. I personally think it looks good, and can't wait to have it in hand.

All four variants are very tempting, to be honest. I don't think there's a lame one in the whole bunch.

@HaoLongGood_Elsa is there a chance we may see close up pictures of the new figures shown off at the fair?

[Daspletodave]

The Utahceratops should be released soon.

Yes please!!

lana time has a shop on amazon right? I was looking for it but couldn't find it, I really wanna get the argentinosaurus off amazon because I have some gift cards but I'm worried how long its taken to show up there

First in-hand pic of 130 (brown)

[Joliezac]

This one lacks a lot of paint/darker colors that were shown on the promo image. It looks unfinished to me and very light.

But also all other figures in this picture look very light, much lighter than they appear in natural light. Nevertheless, it appears that the darker brown color is only applied as some mottling in places.

Lana Time Shop just contacted me and informed that they have received all versions of the Argentinosaurus now. I have changed one of my two orders again from brown to the blue version, because it feels safer with this paint scheme. Lana offered EMS shipping (which is air shipping as they confirmed) for two Argentinosaurus for 145 USD.

Good choice! 130 feels like the weakest colour scheme out of the four, coincidentally it's the one that deviates most significantly from the initial beach prototypes (out of the three colour schemes we've seen in-hand so far. Though I don't imagine a conservative colour scheme like 131 changing much from prototype - final product).

The deign concept behind the brown is actually quite nice, the darker brown mottling on a brighter base color. But the base color would need stronger contrast between dorsal and ventral side with a clearer countershading and then the mottling on top. Honestly if I am not happy with how the blue-gray looks in the end it will go to Dinosaur Models Artworks to realize just a proper design based on the original concept of the brown.

Personally I was hoping that 130 retained the subtle reddish-orange throughout.


Seemed that this version was the one that HLG ultimately settled on afterall.

[SenSx]

We still don't have proper visuals on the green version

[Joliezac]

I just paid for sea shipping for my purple Argentinosaurus. It cost $75 usd. Now we wait...

[thomasw100]

Forgot to mention that Lana Time Shop said that shipping of the Argentinosaurus will begin next week.
