HAOLONGGOOD - 2025 Hopes and Dreams

[Concavenator]

Which species would you like HAOLONGGOOD to make? I'm tagging V @vampiredesign and @HaoLongGood_Elsa here, because I think this thread could be very interesting to them, as a straightforward list of what the fans want to see. 

Here's my list!

Non-dinosaurs

Basilosaurus
Shonisaurus
Megatherium

Ornithischians

Kentrosaurus
Iguanodon
Tenontosaurus
Parasaurolophus
Miragaia (=updated Dacentrurus)
Scelidosaurus
Brachylophosaurus

Sauropodomorphs

Shunosaurus
Turiasaurus
Plateosaurus

Theropods

Sinosaurus
Gallimimus
Torvosaurus tanneri based on "Elvis" specimen
Herrerasaurus
A therizinosaurian known from better remains than Therizinosaurus. For example, Nothronychus or Segnosaurus
Yutyrannus
Gorgosaurus
Acrocanthosaurus
Meraxes
Utahraptor

Now it's your turn!

[Samrukia]

same as in the sister thread
Cryolophosaurus
Saurolophus
Utahraptor
Tarbosaurus
Kentrosaurus
any Abelisaurid
Gigantoraptor

[Sim]

There are two species I'd like the most from Haolonggood.  They are:


1. Torvosaurus tanneri, based on the Elvis specimen.  PNSO's Torvosaurus while nice has an inaccurate head, being based on older incomplete material.  Large carnivorous dinosaurs tend to have good options as figures, but Torvosaurus tanneri doesn't have any yet.

2. Tuojiangosaurus.  PNSO's is again nice, but doesn't reflect current understanding of the species.


Tuojiangosaurus by Scott Hartman.  It should be noted that whether Tuojiangosaurus had shoulder spikes is not known, the one showed in the reconstruction above could have been a tail spike.

Tuojiangosaurus reconstucted without shoulder spikes, under Mamenchisaurus.  I find blue suits Tuojiangosaurus and I hope if Haolonggood makes a Tuojiangosaurus they make one that's yellow with blue plates, like that Haolonggood Stegosaurus prototype that wasn't chosen.  Or maybe blue with yellow plates, similar to in the reconstruction above.

I would love a Haolonggood diplodocus. I need one done by them, as nice as the other sauropods. I have the Eofauna one but it has to be the same scale 1:35 because I display them together. And large dinosaurs need large figures.

Any large diplodocine would be great, it could be Diplodocus, Barosaurus, or Supersaurus, even Maraapunisaurus. Haolonggood has produced some of the most iconic sauropods and indeed a diplodocine is what is missing.

Is Maraapunisaurus thought to be a diplodocine now?  As far as I know it's thought to be a rebbachisaurid..  I do agree a diplodocine would be the most needed sauropod from Haolonggood.  I wonder if they could make more than one, just like they made both Argentinosaurus and Alamosaurus.  Personally I would love a Barosaurus and Supersaurus from Haolonggood!  They both have interesting proportions!


Barosaurus by Scott Hartman


Supersaurus vivianae by Scott Hartman

Despite being known from very complete remains and looking like a cross between Diplodocus and Mamenchisaurus, Barosaurus has no adequate figure...  Supersaurus doesn't either, and an interesting thing about Supersaurus is that a famous specimen of it is considered to be the Mesozoic dinosaur with the greatest age, being over 60 years old.

Supersaurus! A unique mega-diplodocid.
Ceratosaurus with a bold paint job!
Utahraptor!
Sauroposeidon or Giraffatitan, both would be big sellers and lack really accurate models! Please make that neck erect!!!

Charonosaurus or Parasaurolophus featuring the new thick-neck.
Hatzegopteryx!
I know it's already in the works. but I'm praying the Styracosaurus turns out as nice as the Triceratops did.

[Sim]

I'd also very much like from Haolonggood:

Herrerasaurus!  It's one of the prehistoric animals I like most and a good figure of it is overdue!  It is important both in the early evolution of dinosaurs and as the most common carnivore in its ecosystem.  It looks awesome too!

Plateosaurus!  There's a need for a good modern Plateosaurus figure!

Haolonggood hasn't made Triassic animals yet and I think Herrerasaurus and Plateosaurus would be exciting as good figures!

It is true that some newer studies consider Maraapunisaurus a rebbachisaurid. But this seems to be still subject to some discussion as far as I have understood. Both Maraapunisaurus and even more so the enigmatic Amphicoelias are very fragmentary which leaves some room for interpretation.

If Haolonggood would make a Barosaurus and Supersaurus this would be great, both would nicely complete the Morrison sauropod fauna. I would however not be surprised if Haolonggood would make a Diplodocus before one of these two, because Diplodocus is such a well known and famous dinosaur.

[Sim]

Another Triassic species I'd love to have a figure of is Cymbospondylus petrinus.  It was named over 100 years ago, it looks interesting and unique and it doesn't have any figure of it!

With regards to marine animals, another species I'd love to have from Haolonggood is Futabasaurus.
  (Image source)

Futabasaurus is popular in Japan, making a much-needed 1:35 scale figure of it could be a good way to connect with the Japanese community.

Another marine animal I'd love to have a figure of is Basilosaurus.  CollectA and PNSO have made figures of Basilosaurus, but the figures both look like ugly corpses.  I'm sure Haolonggood could make a better one!

[Elengassen]

My list:

Ornithischians
Camptosaurus
Hippodraco
Iguanodon
Saurolophus
Telmatosaurus (a 2-pack of these would be cool)
Thescelosaurus
Udanoceratops

Sauropods
Cedarosaurus
Cetiosaurus
Nigersaurus
Opisthocoelicaudia
Rapetosaurus
Saltasaurus (the new Safari one looks okay but could do with an upgrade)

Theropods
No specific wishlist, but I look forward to seeing how HLG's theropods keep improving.

[Quiversaurus]

For the leader in making non-theropod dinosaurs (at least in my book), a similar list from the previous one for me:

1. Kentrosaurus
2. Iguanodon
3. Hesperosaurus

Will save Qianzhousaurus and Herrerasaurus for PNSO's list, since I like their interpretation of theropods more than HLG's.

Though, if Herrerasaurus came in a pair like their Dilophosaurus did, that would be a hard set to pass up...

how this thread is different from already existing Haolonggood - Hopes and Dreams

I think it makes sense to have one for a year, rather than an enormously long general thread.

[Sim]

I would love it if Haolonggood made a set of medium-sized Nemegt Formation dinosaurs!  Adasaurus, Zanabazar and Gallimimus might be too small for Haolonggood to produce them on their own, but I think a set of them could prove to be a popular product as they are rare species from groups with few good figures.  Zanabazar has never been made!  People might even buy more than one of this set to create groups of the species included.

Adasaurus:

Gallimimus:

There isn't even one adequate troodontid figure, the best options for this type of animal are the sleeping PNSO mini Mei and the Creative Beast Studio Stenonychosaurus action figure.  A Zanabazar by Haolonggood would be something very unique (and needed)!

[suspsy]

I changed one of my choices from Acrocanthosaurus to Afrovenator because I realized that I probably wouldn't buy the former myself if Haolonggood did it. Just not a big enough fan of that genus to want to replace my Safari one.

[GnastyGnorc]

I know it's not very exciting but a proper 1:35 borealopelta. The sculpt on the PNSO is great but too large. And the Collecta lacks the sculpt quality.

[Sim]

I have the CollectA Borealopelta and it's excellent. It's one of the figures I'm most satisfied with. I don't think it lacks quality.

[Sim]

I would love a Haolonggood diplodocus. I need one done by them, as nice as the other sauropods. I have the Eofauna one but it has to be the same scale 1:35 because I display them together. And large dinosaurs need large figures.

Do you not have the REBOR Diplodocus?
