My Gastonia has reddish brown wash all over light green and brown stripes and lines (not black or black-ish brown)  A lot lighter than promo pics or lighter than videos on youtube. Overall i like it better lines look less artificial.

I had no interest in Utahceratops as species. However just like their sinoceratops after seeing the models i have changed my mind. I'll most likely get the green one.

Both Utahceratops colour schemes look very nice. I'm really struggling to only picking one!

I hadn't realised there was that attractive purple tone on the back of the brown version. Very tempting. But I think the green has the edge.  Just....

But looks like I'll have to decide fast before the prices go up more :(


IMO it's been a good two weeks since we've had in-hand pictures of all four variants. More than enough time to decide on which version to purchase, assuming sufficient funds being available of course.

I wouldn't delay it any longer if you truly would like to add a copy to your collection lest you risk further price hikes.

Maybe you're right, but I whish I could see more pictures of the green version's head, it's important to me.
I haven't seen any good one.

The purple hue is very nice, and I like the yellow flash on the frill too. The green one however looks more natural, with the darker tones and dry brushing picking out the detail far better than the brown ver.

I think I'll be getting the sandy/tan colored Utahceratops. Kind of mimics the rock layers of Utah itself!

Went green, myself.

I went with the green. The light tan on the brown just looked unfinished to me, like it needs just a bit more paint. The mint green looks very interesting to me. I sincerely hope from now on we won't be getting any more bright blue-eyed dinosaurs  ::)

I just can't say no to ceratopsians  O:-)

Quote from: Paleo Flo on November 25, 2024, 08:55:12 AMPrice of the Argentinosaurus at Lanatime has been lifted up significantly.
Now it costs 229,99 Dollars. That's it. I'm out at this one.

Does anybody have more pictures of the green version please ?
Like the head ?

It really annoys me, because I came to the conclusion to order 131, the green one, just a few minutes ago  :( 
But now the pricetag kills it for me.

This money will be spent better in ceratopsians or in a Brachiosaurus/Giraffatitan release.


Damn it took 30 dollars more !

Maybe Everything Dinosaur could be an alternative when they have the Argentinos in stock...

FYI the low estimate EverythingDinosaur gave for UK pricing is 220 GBP, almost $280 USD.

If you order at Lanatime now you will pay at least 300 USD (EMS).

I'm a bit disappointed both reviews have blue & brown.  No purple or green.

Rayeknor

I posted some photos of the purple one on page 135, I'm not a reviewer but if anyone has anything specific they want to see from that version I can conjure up some more photos.

Joliezac

Minizoo has all 4 versions of the Argentinosaurus listed as coming soon. Not sure of the price yet. If you live in Australia it might be the best option. https://www.minizoo.com.au/haolonggood/haolonggood-2024/

Under warmer lighting, 130 (brown) looks phenomenal. It has so many subtleties that gets washed out under harsher lighting. My only criticism would be the blue mask not really fitting in quite as well as it does on 001 (purple). The presentation would've been more cohesive if it was absent or a warmer tone IMO.
