PNSO - 2025 Hopes and Dreams

[Sim]

Carcharadontosaurids are complained but i see everyone has at least one of them in their collections. 

Haha!  I think you're right!  I have two...

I wonder if Haolonggood titanosaurs will start to annoy collectors. They are fragmentary and look a like.

I am annoyed by Haolonggood planning another titanosaurian for 2025.  But these are all my views and perhaps I don't mean to take away from someone's wish.  If PNSO does make Alcovasaurus, I think it will make some happy.

Yeah, I have 2 as well, but at least opposite ends of the paint spectrum, Mapusaurus and Tyrannotitan. I love big sauropods more than the next guy, and another big titanosaur also seems a bit premature, I would much rather see a diplodocid or small unique Sauropod. Argentinosaurus really is a hard act to follow.

Oops the bolded part shouldn't have been there!  I rephrased what I was saying and unintentionally left that there!  I definitely don't mean to take away from what someone wants!

Honestly, I start to take a different view on what may come or might not come. I guess this is the saturation effect that is a typical phenomenon in any collecting activity over time.

First, as long as there is something released that I like during the course of the year, I am happy for that. I do not mind if there are figures released that I do not like or do not want for various reasons. Others may like them and I am happy for those who do.

Second, I am getting more interested in completing some faunas from which I have already some species. Like of course the Morrison, but I am also quite interested in Dashanpu and Tendaguru. I am more (but not exclusively) interested in Jurassic faunas because of the abundance of sauropod and stegosaur species.

I wonder what species PNSO will release as their comeback figure?  Apart from the Tyrannotitan, their figures for last year showed remarkable consideration for what would be good to produce.  I have a feeling PNSO's next figure will continue that trend...  Perhaps it could be one of the species that has been hinted at coming from PNSO, Tyrannosaurus, Mosasaurus, Ichthyovenator or Gigantoraptor.

I wouldn't be suprised if Tyrannotitan was the most bought one last year though. It's a giant theropod with great coloring afterall. 

I might sell my soul to get a Gigantoraptor from PNSO. Just imagine the feathering.


If PNSO release T.rex 2025 would be The Tyrannosaurus Showdown. Haolonggood, Showanna and PNSO battle for the title.

I would love to see Gigantoraptor restored with a bit more flair than is typical for the species. I mean a really gaudy macaw-type color pattern, lol. I love brightly colored Oviraptorids. They lend themselves to. it with tail-fans and big crests and wings.

[Bergues]

I would love to see Mosasaurus, Basilosaurus and Tylosaurus updated versions. For each of current models I am seeing just enough flaws not to consider purchase. And yet they have so much wonderful details too.

Given how much PNSO improved over years, I am happy to wait for aesthetically more appealing or so called "ultimate"  version.

I wouldn't be suprised if Tyrannotitan was the most bought one last year though. It's a giant theropod with great coloring afterall. 

A quick check of Lana Time Shop website can give an indication of that. If we sort PNSO figures according to "Best Selling", the top three from 2024 are Edmontosaurus, Lufengosaurus and Lokiceratops, in this sequence.

There is maybe a little bias because Lana calculates this as number of units sold times price per unit, so more expensive figures have more weight in this calculation. But price differences between these three that come on top are quite small so I think the result is reliable.

Tyrannotitan appears only on page 3 so this one seems to have not sold too well.

Honestly, that makes sense. PNSO has already released quite a few large carcharodontosaurs, of which Tyrannotitan is far from the most popular. Additionally, Tyrannotitan is an unlipped theropod released after PNSO showed they were willing to make lipped theropods. Now not everyone wants lipped theropods, but the number of people who do is still pretty significant. I'd argue that these factors probably influenced the poor sales performance of the figure.

If only PNSO knew how long you have been waiting since:

This Chinese New Year holidays create an additional break of almost two months. Obviously the people in the companies like PNSO and Haolonggood deserve their annual break. However, I think it is a poor marketing strategy of both PNSO and Haolonggood as well that they do not bridge this gap with a teaser or some advance information about upcoming releases. Haolonggood published some teasers and a catalog last year, but nothing this year.

[Turkeysaurus]

I think decent top 10 wishlist:

Utahraptor

Gigantoraptor

Nanuqsaurus

Any large azhdarchid

Full lipped T.rex (any color but same tone of brown)

Pentaceratops/Titanoceratops (I don't like HLG version)

A Large Hadrosaur (Shantungosaurus, Magnapaulia for best, at worst; a updated Parasaurolophus, maiasauria with correct crest etc.)

Maip (lipped)

Edmontonia (I don't like HLG)

Dacentrurus (Miragaia update)

[Elengassen]

I know PNSO will probably be releasing a lipped T. rex at some point, but honestly I'd prefer it if they updated their Tarbosaurus with lips, as there are already plenty of lipped rexes out there with more on the way. I don't think it's likely to happen, but it would be nice.

I would also like them to make Saurolophus angustirostris, especially if the upcoming Haolonggood one turns out to be the other species. A Saichania/Tarchia that's larger than the Haolonggood Saichania would be good as well.

Other than that, I'd like them to make some of the theropods that are in need of more good figures (Gallimimus/Utahraptor/Austroraptor to name a few examples). There are plenty of underrepresented ornithischians and sauropodomorphs as well, but I'd prefer PNSO to focus on theropods as they are the best at those.

[SenSx]

- The very promissing Lipped T-rex we have seen on the renders, it could potentially be the ultimate figure, or at least my favorite design.

- Gigantoraptor

- New rumored Mosasaurus ? I think I have heard of it...


That's all, of course there are more figures I would want, but I prefer being realistic and not get my hopes up.

Gallimimus is strangely forgotten over the years. Pnso version would be instant buy for me.

[thomasw100]

I would be happy if PNSO would release another feathered dinosaur. Their Deinocheirus and Therizinosaurus are really stunning and it has been a long time since these were released.

Yes but I feel it would be too small for them.
Or they will make it a little bit oversized like the Pachycephalosaurus, which would be ok for me.
