HAOLONGGOOD - New for 2024

[Flaffy]

Damn it took 30 dollars more !
I was still waiting for more pictures of the green version...
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.

@StomiIzu on Twitter has loads of pics of the green ver. Hopefully they help!

[SenSx]

Thanks but the heavy yellow lightning is not really helping here.
I have emailed Lana asking them if they can update their photos with more of the green version.
Looks like almost not one is buying the green version.

My pair of Utahceratops gettyi have arrived! And so a few pictures were absolutely neccesary to appreciate their beauty under a morning sun.


Along with the other genra discover along, the little pair of Kosmoceratops richardsoni.
Also, some other species they coexisted with: Nasutoceratops titusi and "Gryposaurus" (Collecta's Hadrosaurus).

As well as a comparison with latest PNSO ceratopsian, Lokiceratops rangiformis.

The cherry on the cake is a frill comparison with their evolutionary succesor: Pentaceratops sternbergi.

Last year we got three releases before the year ended: Tlatolophus, Kosmoceratops, and Sinoceratops. Will they release a chinese genra as well? Shantungosaurus? Cheers to all!

Beautiful herd!
Hope my brown Utah will be shipped soon.

I play with the thought of buiying one of the Kosmos. Is the black one too black?

The black Kosmoceratops is gray-black in normal light I would say. Both Kosmoceratops are very nice. Note that they have a fairly visible seam line between the head and the body. The newer Haolonggood ceratopsians are either in one piece or they have better concealed the seam.

Personally I haven't noticed a seam line on my Haolonggood Kosmoceratops.  I recommend it, it doesn't take up much room and is really good!

It's interesting to see the Utahceratops compared to the Pentaceratops.  Maybe Haolonggood can make the later form in that evolutionary transition, Anchiceratops?

Looks like all of Happy Hen's Argentinosaurus sold out. They are up for preorder again at the $319 price but looks like they will go up to $349 since they are labeled as "on sale" right now. Estimated arrival date early January 2025.

[Tattu]

I'm curious to learn the best option for those in Canada. Is Lanatimeshop still the go-to, or are there other online vendors that stock Haolonggood?

I don't see anyone else being cheaper than Lana. Even with them increasing the price.

Today's Happy Hen email:


"Haolonggood Argentinosaurus models were a hit & sold out! So, we are ordering more.

Pre-orders are open for this re-stock at the introductory price of $319.99.

We expect their arrival no earlier than the first week of January 2025."

According to a user in the Paleofiguras Facebook group Haolonggood will be releasing Styracosaurus and Concavenator soon.  I thought I'd share this news here!  Concavenator could be interesting if it's feathered.

Also really intrigued for Concavenator since Haolongood past theropods have not appealed to me at all.

Also interested in the Styracosaurus. I just got the PNSO as a gift and it is dang near perfect if it wasnt slightly oversized. So it will be interesting to compare the two. Even if I decide it's not worth picking it up.

[Primeval12]

I am SO down for another Concavenator. Then again, I dislike most Haolonggood theropods. I only really like the Spinosaurus and Megaraptor

[Joliezac]

My dinosaur collection is pretty small, therefore I don't have a Concavenator or Styracosaurus... I'd love to see these from Haolonggood! Hopefully they can improve their theropods a bit. I just have the Daspletosaurus from them carnivore wise.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I have several Styracosaurus models, but if it's well done or unique I might pick up another.  Concavenator depends as said I haven't been wowed..yet..by an HLG theropod.

[oscars_dinos]

Ive actually been waiting to see HLG's styraco before I pull the trigger on the pnso, maybe they'll surprise me, but even if the conc is good from HLG I would still wait, even if its years, to see what PNSO cooks with that species

I do have the PNSO Styracosaurus and it is a beautiful model, already at the level of highly refined integument and great paint application. Of course the most recent Lokiceratops is even more refined, but the step between the older PNSO ceratopsians with the pebbly texture (e.g. Pachyrhinosaurus, Sinoceratops) and Styracosaurus is much larger than the step between Styracosaurus and Lokiceratops. Lokiceratops and Styracosaurus look great next to each other. Of course it is a matter of taste if one prefers the more vivid colors of Haolonggood ceratopsians or the earth tones of PNSO ceratopsians.

[Paleo Flo]

See if the HLG Styracosaurus could beat my all-time favorite...the CollectA Deluxe Styracosaurus

[Duna]

Concavenator would be a yes from me! The last HLG theropods have been very good, specially the carnotaurus and the megaraptor. They are perfect.

[Turkeysaurus]

30 euro limit for my country is now INCLUDING shipment lol. I hope Styracosaurus price will be around Utahceratops.
