HAOLONGGOOD - 2025 Hopes and Dreams

[Sim]

With Edmontosaurus figures by PNSO, Haolonggood, CollectA, Safari and now Papo I think it wouldn't be a good idea for Eofauna to make one too.  Plus, I'm confident Eofauna's first ornithopod will be Magnapaulia.  Why else would they keep asking about it?

I'm happy with my CollectA Parasaurolophus and have no plans to buy another figure of this animal.  It would be interesting if Haolonggood made P. cyrtocristatus though.  I'm also satisfied with my PNSO Corythosaurus, but I would consider getting a Hypacrosaurus if it's made.

I'd prefer a Magnapaulia over another Edmontosaurus too. But I certainly don't doubt Eofauna can create a stunning Edmontosaurus either based on their Ankylosaurus.

What do you mean when you say "why else would they keep asking about it"?

All of Eofauna's dinosaurs but the Atlasaurus have been the most famous dinosaurs, and the Atlasaurus is from 2019, so I'd be surprised if they chose Magnapaulia over Edmontosaurus/Parasaurolophus/Iguanodon as their first ornithopod.

Edmontosaurus is arguably the 2nd most famous hadrosaur, and considering they've previously made Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus and Ankylosaurus, also from the Hell Creek Formation, I'd be surprised to see them not release an Edmontosaurus annectens. Edmontosaurus was also featured in an illustration of theirs.

Though it could also be Parasaurolophus, as @Halichoeres suspects. Both Edmontosaurus and Parasaurolophus are a lot more likely to be released than Magnapaulia I think. Maybe if they feel like releasing a less-popular ornithopod, it could be Magnapaulia, but considering their dinosaur choices until now, I doubt that.

That they usually go for the most popular species (and so, the ones with the highest number of figures) means they don't care about other companies having released figures of a certain species.

Brachytrachelopan, I wish PNSO to do it but if not i'm fine with Haolonggood.

May I ask why you and so many others are so excited about Brachytrachelopan? I mean I appreciate every sauropod figure that gets made, but what is so particularly interesting about this one?

Sauropod without a long neck.

On Facebook Eofauna has more than once asked a collector if they would be interested in a figure of Magnapaulia.

At the time of being made, the species Eofauna produced didn't have many satisfactory figures.  Edmontosaurus does have many satisfactory figures.

Brachytrachelopan is one of the most unusual sauropods of them all and a most welcome change from the usual towering titans. Moreover, it's never gotten a toy before. It absolutely warrants one.

I realized that Brachytrachelopan has a very short neck and a sail or hump which makes it special. As far as I recall a short neck is a rather general feature of Dicraeosauridae albeit the neck of Brachytrachelopan is maybe the shortest of all of them. It has fairly good remains but as is the case for many sauropods no skull was found.

Definitely it would be a good idea if Haolonggood would produce some sauropod figures from underrepresented groups. We got quite many macronarians and with Mamenchisaurus just one species less derived than neosauropoda. They could easily make species like Cetiosaurus, Barapasaurus, Omeisaurus, Shunosaurus or even Spinophorosaurus.

It has occurred to me that a very cool idea would be if HLG included a Pachycephalosaurus with their upcoming Tyrannosaurus. You know, as an extra, just as the baby Maiasaura that's included with the adult or how the Dilophosaurus comes as a duo.

Including it as a "bonus" to some larger figure might be the only way for them to release a Pachycephalosaurus, if they can't sell the Huayangosaurus by itself, Pachycephalosaurus would be in the same situation. And since Pachycephalosaurus and Tyrannosaurus coexisted, that would make for a nice set.

While I own PNSO's Pachycephalosaurus and it's very good, I'd gladly replace it with a 1:35 HLG one.

[suspsy]

I like the idea of including a much smaller dinosaur with the Tyrannosaurus rex, however, I can think of a couple that I feel are more deserving than Pachycephalosaurus, which already has many toys to its name, including solid ones from PNSO, Safari, and CollectA.

Leptoceratops and Thescelosaurus.

Both contemporaries of T. rex, both too small to be sold as standalone Haolonggood products, and both with only a single toy each at the present time (that I'm aware of). Either of those would be fabulous!

[Turkeysaurus]

I think reasons why HLG added gifts to Alamosaurus, Argentinosaurus & Brachiosaurus because they are expensive & large boxes (shipping cost)

T.rex is the most popular dinosaur and not as large as sauropods so i doubt it will have a gift dinosaur.

Upcoming Titanosaur will most likely to have gift though.

Honestly I would prefer if Haolonggood would return to their previous practice to release each figure individually. But if bundles are the only way to get small species than yes this is OK.

I agree that this is the most likely reason for Haolonggood including gifts like Huayangosaurus or a base. Plus to encourage people to pre-oder these large beasts and minimize their economic risk.

Maybe they could make Gargoyleosaurus as gift for Barosaurus or Supersaurus if ever they decide to make a figure of one of these large diplodocids.

I fear that the Einiosaurus will end up being a "gift dinosaur".

[thomasw100]

I fear that the Einiosaurus will end up being a "gift dinosaur".

Last thing I heard about it was a posting on the Haolonggood fan account. Which said that Einiosaurus would be still undergoing adjustment.

We may hear something after 15 February when Haolonggood staff returns back from the Chinese New Year Holidays.

If they do I fear I would have to buy it on day one

[Concavenator]

I would doubt that, if they managed to have the, say, Diabloceratops, as an individual release, then I don't see why would it be any different for Einiosaurus.

[Sim]

I think it could go either way with regards to whether a new Tyrannosaurus would come with a gift.  On one hand I think the thought that the larger sauropods came with one because of how big they were seems right.  On the other hand this will be the second Haolonggood Tyrannosaurus and Haolonggood might want to encourage sales of it.  In any case, I too would prefer a Thescelosaurus or Leptoceratops as a gift rather than a Pachycephalosaurus.  And I would be interested in a Gargoyleosaurus figure, as well as a Barosaurus or Supersaurus!

[Turkeysaurus]

I wonder their upcoming titanosaur, if it is indeed Patagotitan that would be somewhere between Alamosaurus & Argentinosaurus size 

@FabioAleRomeo from x


Argentinosaurus & Patagotitan

Maybe we'll get more color variants for Huayangosaurus instead of new small dinosaur.
