A few more brown models and you'll start to think unpainted models look fresh. Genius move by PNSO.

I just noticed how cool that Hypacrosaurus looks, I hope PNSO has plans to release a Hypacrosaurus in the future with those exact colors.
PNSO should use more grey paint schemes.
Personally, I find that its anatomy is very similar to their Tsintaosaurus...
Anyhow, the babies are cute. Are they included in the box ?

Having both the juvenile and the baby would be interesting. Now that HLG has emerged as a serious competitor in this market, hopefully elements like this will be part of PNSO's repertory going forth to keep ahead of the curve.

This is 2d artwork, not a figure or even a hint to a figure. A testament to their skill that it looks like it could be!
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

I don't necessarily take those artworks to be any indicative of future figures. Of course, depends on the size of the animal that's being depicted.  :*D I would unironically deem a Hypacrosaurus a more likely release than Dilophosaurus or any dromaeosaurid, on a basis of size alone.

That said, Hypacrosaurus itself would objectively be a good choice for a figure. They could've easily released one instead of a couple of other figures (Stellasaurus, the so-called "Sinopliosaurus, Zhuchengtyrannus, etc).

Okay my mistake, I was too fast in reading this  :*D
However, even in 2D representation, they tend to look alike.

Turkeysaurus

When i read Tsintaosaurus first thing that comes to my mind $$$  :*D

Weird choice to make that one a museum model and not much larger & famous Edmontosaurus.

I have never complained about museum series prices before since they actually give plenty great posters and boxes have better quality. It has higher class feeling despite same level model. Kind of like flying "business" in same plane with rest of "economy" peassengers.  ::D

The problem is Tsintaosaurus isn't "must have" dinosaur. That makes you see the price tag a bit more compared to T.rex,Spino or Trike.

If you follow the PNSO daily calendar on Instagram you see that they have plenty of beautiful artwork of many species ranging from well known to really rare ones and many ones from China that I have not really heard of. And some of the artwork looks like it would be a real figure.

Yeah, I agree with you avatar_Turkeysaurus @Turkeysaurus regarding the price of the Tsintao figure and some of you also stressed this point in my own thread dedicated to the dinosaurs of the Gobi Desert.... Nevertheless IMO it remains a decent figure and I'm (admittedly, a bit selfishly SRY) super happy it has joined my Gobi team despite its geographical mismatch since there are no good available Saurolophus offers at the moment in 1:35.
My comment was actually more a personal observation in view of the PNSO's recent reconstruction of Hypacrosaurus, as I have the feeling that the latter's overvall shape seems to have been modelled on that of the already available Tsintaosaurus, aside from the color scheme.
In short, I almost see its reconstruction as a grey version of the Tsintao ?
However, I'm in awe of PNSO designers' obvious talent but their overall marketing strategy remains a riddle to my eyes at the same time !

PNSO certainly aren't predictable!

A Gigantoraptor and a new Mosasaurus have been rumoured for well over a year, as well as the teased digital model of a fully lipped Tyrannosaurus Rex, however there's zero sign of any of those three models!

Are PNSO holding out so the release dates for those models coincide with specific pop culture appearances?

As much as I would love for the new T. rex to be revealed tomorrow, I have a feeling that it won't be until the summer at least. The summer is a time for fun, for excitement, for thrills, for big things, and a new T. rex is definitely a big thing. But I could be wrong. We shall see.

Maybe Gigantoraptor will drop this month?

It would be a good strategy to release a Mosasaurus in june-july admist the hype for JWR.



Berno

I was looking at the previous release dates, Spiclypeus (march 1) and Stellasaurus (march 23), 3 weeks difference between one and the other.
So there is a possibility that PNSO will announce a new model this weekend.

Ah, but all the 2025 PNSO releases were in March. Clearly now that March is over, they will not release anything for the rest of the year  O:-)

It'd be superb marketing if PNSO dropped the new Tyrannosaurus & Mosasaurus in June & July 😂

Stellasaurus has landed. In my opinion another stellar ceratopsian from PNSO. I very much appreciate that they have given us now a few more ceratopsians in their refined finer textured style.

I'm a bit surprised to see that they've produced 12 ceratopsians (excluding the old 2016 vinyl, hollow one) so far, over against 11 by HLG (excluding color variations).
