Haolonggood - New for 2025

[Turkeysaurus]

That's good news for me if it's slightly larger than 1:35. It will scale better with the Rebor Diplodocus and HLG Apatosaurus (I think the latter is also too big for 1:35?)

Rebor 83-84 cm long that would make 29-29.5 meter animal. Diplodocus Hallorum formerly known as seismosaurus is around 29-33 meters. Diplodocus Carnegii is 24-26 meters

Apatosaurus is also good for 1/35 as T @thomasw100 said.

Brachiosaurus if it's 48×60 cm given lenght is true, would make Sauroposeidon size but fatter probably.

Look, I am confident that the 60 cm length for Brachiosaurus is correct. You can measure this in the picture from the Hong Kong exhibition booth by comparing with Argentinosaurus. We know for sure that Argentinosaurus is 85 cm long, so we can calculate length of Bachiosaurus.

Next, if we know that the 60 cm length of Brachiosaurus is correct there is no way it can be 48 cm high. Again we can measure either the promotional image or the photo from the Hong Kong exhibition and calculate true height. It comes out very close to 38 cm.

Finally, consider the height/length ratio of the three large Haolonggood sauropods, they are 0.59 for Argentinosaurus, 0.65 for Alamosaurus and 0.63 for Brachiosaurus for the 38 cm height. This would be 0.80 for the 48 cm. All three have roughly the same neck angle, so ratio of 0.80 is impossible.

This pic reveals 48 cm height was wrong indeed. Good news.

The green is much better in this picture, it reminds me a lot of the Brachiosaurus in Jurassic Park III

"Images of the prototypes during their paint test.
The green version has a more intricate pattern and a more vivid scheme which in the end was possibly decided to be discarded and minimized to something more replicable in mass for the factory, although for a limited version it would not be bad."

So these are prototypes. Other ones will be mass produced.

For once i like mass produced ones better than prototype colors so it's good news again for me along with smaller size for Brachiosaurus.

[thomasw100]

Hopefully we will still get to see the catalogue.

[Turkeysaurus]

 

Do you like prototypes or what we will have more? I think prototypes are too busy.

[ceratopsian]

I really liked the green prototype.

[Joliezac]

Wow that green prototype is gorgeous. I'm a sucker for the JP3 paint scheme. But I think I still prefer the blue. I like the simpler colors and light gradient on the top. I also just imagine blue or grey when I think of Brachiosaurus.

[SenSx]

I too like the green prototype a lot.
I don't own enough green dinosaurs, and it seems to be some kind of JP3 Brachiosaurus tribute.
Unfortunately the other promotion pictures of the green have it being a lot less "green" actually, more generic weird brown grey.

Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus and Apatosaurus are the big three of sauropods, and I like each one to have different colors for contrast.

I believe red is the best looking one, but I like to hear your thoughts:



Can't wait for Haolonggood to eventually release a Diplodocus in a color that ruins this 

I would definitely go for the red, I think it compliments the other two perfectly. And worst case scenario, if they release a diplo that doesn't match it just buy another one of the brachiosaurs 

[Turkeysaurus]

Promo pics are too bright they look like they are entering heaven. I prefer Expo photos more to decide.

[SidB]

I'll vote red too.

[Sim]

seems like for the first time i am going to have 2 variants of the same figure (Huayangosaurus) because i am definitely preordering this Brachi. just can't decide between grey and green..

You could sell one of the Huayangosaurus if you'd like to, I think you'd be able to get a good deal for it as it is only available by pre-ordering.

[Turkeysaurus]

Almost all of my sauropods are in range from reddish browns to greenish browns. So I better go blue or whatever that color is this time.

[KrazyKaprosuchus]

My alamo is blue and the rest of my sauropods are very brown or red or other warmer colors, or greyish, so I probably have to go with green for once. I like the thought of it on Brachiosaurus anyway.

Thanks. With my current set-up, my maximum height for a sauropod is 32-33 cm, so even 38 would likely be too big for me.

Overall sculpt detail and underlying anatomy look more refined than the Argentinosaurus.

But I too am not a fan of the lipless look. Especially when all other HLG sauropods are lipped. For me, this alone majorly detracts from the figure. I do not understand the rationale at all.

I don't find the harsh cutoff between scaly skin and keratin "beak" convincing either.

I'm liking the rest of the body, but unfortunately the head (arguably THE focal point) has a few things that do not satisfy me.

I think only a few of the Haolonggood sauropods are lipped, the Apatosaurus, Ampelosaurus and what I've just acquired, the Amargasaurus.  The rest have a beak and their teeth do not protrude when their mouth would be closed.  It's not like PNSO's sauropods where the teeth are still visible when their mouth is closed.
I personally don't like a beak on sauropods, but I think I can tolerate it if it blends in with the skin, such as in Haolonggood's Argentinosaurus and the Wild Safari Camarasaurus.  I hope future Haolonggood sauropods have less conspicuous beaks, or no beaks at all.  I find the Haolonggood Amargasaurus has the best head out of all of Haolonggood's sauropods.

The Brachiosaurus looks insane. The paint looks good on all schemes + I'm looking forward to better Concavenator images, not completely sold on it yet, though the headscult looks good. I love Concavenator's skull.

With Argentinosaurus, side comparison:

Is anyone seeing that smaller titanosaur(?) in the background? Have we seen that before? I don't think it's the Mamenchisaurus or the Ampelosaurus. It looks really nice.

Edit: they're definitely the Mamenchisaurus nevermind.

My Online Toy Store already has it up for preorder. £139.99 plus about £20 postage. I assume that for UK sales, 20% VAT will be added at point of sale, as for their other merchandise.

I checked as well and they list the Brachiosaurus for 170 USD. Now a second ago it showed up at Lana Time Shop and there it is 95 USD. This compares well to the pre-sale price of the Alamosaurus which was 90 USD.

[Paleo Flo]

Just saw it on Lanatime. Shipping to Germany is 45 USD "EMS, additional charges may apply upon arrival" or 73 USD "Standard Shipping". Which will be the best offer?

I will order my copy of it in the next hours.

A little downer is that you can't choose your Huaynago colouration.

[Samrukia]

here we go, ordered the Blue/Grey version of Brachiosaurus, apparently it's labeled as 'Limited'
