PNSO - 2025 Hopes and Dreams

[Sim]

"big three"?  PNSO, Haolonggood and what's the last one...?  (I think it's more than three, with Safari, CollectA and Papo among the "big" companies.)

...I was thinking of Eofauna, but on second thought they're pretty small size wise, aren't they. 

[Sim]

Oh, yes Eofauna makes sense.  I do agree though regarding their low output..  I personally wouldn't even put them among the main companies because of that..

[Halichoeres]

I would love to see the other end of the neck spectrum. An Omeisaurus 😄

"Nectrum"

[Sim]

I'm keen to see what PNSO makes next!  I just hope it's not a new Mosasaurus!

[Turkeysaurus]

Nanuqsaurus is such a PNSO move that i'm surprised we haven't got it yet. Another 7-9 meter tyrannosaur and with feathers!

My hopes are just for a year of more regular releases.

2024 was a frustrating one, also with my current health situation I need a nice distraction.

A fully lipped Tyrannosaurus Rex is my biggest dream for PNSO's 2025 roster. My collection just feels empty without one.

Other than that, Plateosaurus, a lipped Torvosaurus, Liopleurodon, Diplodocus, Shunosaurus, Muttaburrasaurus, Saltasaurus, a lipped & updated Carnotaurus and an updated/resized Ankylosaurus would be appreciated!

I share the hope that we will see more regular PNSO releases in 2025. And although I am not collecting carnivore theropods, I sympathize with those who wish for a fully lipped T. rex. And some of the smaller sauropods that you mention would indeed be great. We got nice big ones from Haolonggood, but some of the smaller species would still deserve a high quality figure.

Since PNSO is currently doing a wave of ceratopsians, I'd like to see them do a Chasmosaurus. At least it would be bigger than the tiny HLG one.

I fear they'd might disappoint you, Chasmosaurus belli is pretty small. I guess if they do C.russelli instead, though; that one is a bit larger, but they might refer to it as 'Mojoceratops'.

[Halichoeres]

They'll never do it, but they SHOULD make a Cotylorhynchus.

Oh how this would tickle me to no end

[Sim]

If PNSO makes more ceratopsids I hope they don't make ones already made by Safari and Haolonggood.  There are some interesting ones still waiting for a satisfactory figure, Achelousaurus, Anchiceratops, Arrhinoceratops... Medusaceratops...

I also wonder if the rumoured Ichthyovenator and Mosasaurus were just rumours and won't be happening.  I hope for that actually.  I'm sure Gigantoraptor is coming, since PNSO said they wanted to make it.  I'm starting to wonder if PNSO will make a lipped Tyrannosaurus soon.  Cameron is still recent and if it's true that the Chinese tend to prefer theropods lipless, maybe PNSO isn't keen on the idea of making one.  I know a model of it was shown, but PNSO also had a very good model of Xenoceratops and Elasmosaurus and others that they never ended up selling.

I hope PNSO will get past their size strictness and feather avoidance and make some dromaeosaurids.  It's not nice how they've avoided this popular group while making lots of species from some other groups.  I understand no company is perfect though, and PNSO has become my second-favourite prehistoric company (Safari is in first place since they make good dromaeosaurids).

Additionally I think we're overdue another nodosaurid from PNSO.  Their only ones are Sauropelta and Borealopelta from many years ago (more than Safari has made though...).  It would be interesting to see one in their current style, e.g. Edmontonia rugosidens.

And please an Edestus.

Mattel will probably make one. 

[DavidJamesArmsby]

I desperately want PNSO to ditch their dedication to 1:35(ish) scale and offer smaller species. A big, super-accurate Psittacosaurus would be perfect for them. I'd also love to see some dromaeosaurs and all other sorts of little feathered critters from them.

China is famous for incredibly well preserved small feathered dinosaurs. Considering their affinity for famous Chinese species, they must WANT to make big, proper models of species like Sinosauropteryx and Mei Long, right?
And this would open the door for other small non-dino dudes to get figures too. I really miss the days when we could get the likes of Microraptor and Atopodentatus from PNSO.

[Sim]

PNSO has made amazing artwork of dromaeosaurids, I would love to have these species in figure form:

Yesterday PNSO posted some artwork of Ceratoraurus again and that reminded me that they only have the much too big model of "Nick" in their line up, but not one in the 1:30 to 1:35 scale range.

Funnily enough, today they've posted a picture of their "Saurophaganax" again (not even artwork but just the model) despite the fact that Saurophaganax is now a sauropod.

Yeah the strict 1:35 was definitely a turn for the worse.

[suspsy]

As long as PNSO is profiting well from their 1:35 scale line, which certainly does appear to be the case, they may not want to risk branching out into a second scale line. Or maybe they'd like to, but their budget doesn't allow them to do so.
