Haolonggood - New for 2025

[suspsy]

Haolonggood 2025 silhouette poster has a giant titanosaur whether it's Ruyangosaurus or something else. I thought Dreadnoughtus because it's popularity on media but the largest Asian / Chinese dinosaur sounds more plausible than other titanosaurs now.

So Giganotosaurus, Torosaurus, Shantungosaurus , Diplodocus... and possibly Ruyangosaurus and perhaps Iguanodon too?

I hope they would still make a deinosuchus.

Surely they are if they included it in the teaser. Although I suppose a certain ceratopsian known as Einiosaurus would disagree.

I'm surprised that neither Haolonggood nor PNSO have tried their hands at the likes of Shunosaurus & Saltasaurus?

Einosaurus might be the gift of Ruyangosaurus.  (Unless another batch of Huayangosaurus)

[SidB]

Already got the CollectA one, so zero interest.

Same.

[Trenchcoated Rebbachisaur]

I guess if they make it as spiky as Ruyangosaurus recons tend to be that might be something? I haven't gotten either Alamosaurus or Argentinosaurus yet, so like, that might be a "in half a year or more" purchase to look forward to...?

If they include and limit the Einiosaurus to it I'm going to scream though.

[SidB]

On the other hand, consider that the Huayangosaurus was detached by an Aliexpress seller and became available independently from a big, expensive sauropod. So if Einiosaurus  only becomes available in association with say, Ruyangasaurus, it may become independent too at some point.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I sold my spare one via eBay after offering it on here. So it's not impossible to get.

Ruyangosaurus? Well, another huge fragmentary titanosaur = another skip on my end. If it's titanosaurs we're talking about, I think that the smaller, more complete titanosaurs like Diamantinasaurus, Rapetosaurus, etc, would be more interesting choices.

They could make a Brontosaurus and a Giraffatitan, and they'd still be more different from Apatosaurus and Brachiosaurus, respectively, than all of those titanosaurs from each other. Speaking of which, we're gonna have Alamosaurus, Argentinosaurus, Dreadnoughtus and Ruyangosaurus (so 4 clones). And at least, I'd deem a Patagotitan likely to eventually be made by them too...

I mean hey, they're so fragmentary that they're essentially all used as puzzle pieces to fill each other out. I'm sure they'd be more diverse and worthwhile if we found more bones than just some ribs and leg bones and vertebrae from every single one of them 

Incidentally that makes me feel like Ruyangosaurus is a really bad pick, lol. Unless the home-grown recognition is enough to sell it well locally, but I feel like you could have just had Omeisaurus instead - it's really ubiquitous in dinosaur parks, especially seemingly ones in Asia/stocked by Asian companies. Don't remember off the top of my head how distinct it is from Mamenchisaurus, especially the species they chose; but that could always be solved with a new pose! (Hopefully they give Ruyangosaurus, if the leak is real, a new pose... Not sure if that would cause weight issues or what, tho. Would be neat to have at least one Sauropod that sways side to side before they stop making them, but I guess that's more Omeisaurus/Diplodocus/Barosaurus material than Ruyangosaurus...)

Indeed!

Oh ffs, Kaijutitan? Come on now. Well with a name like that I'm surprised it doesn't have a plastic figure yet.

[Turkeysaurus]

"The Largest dinosaur from China / Asia" is a great selling tag for them.



It was a big deal for Alamosaurus too, it was seen as the largest American dinosaur, not just living in late cretaceous with T.rex.

[suspsy]

Maraapunisaurus would definitely have something to say to Alamosaurus. So would Brachiosaurus for that matter.

Funny how even in that image the silhouettes are the same. 

[Turkeysaurus]

I don't mind them looking like eachother. Size, soft tissue , colors , patterns, osteoderms and pose can make it look distinct enough.Plenty of dinosaurs look like eachother.

The CollectA one is a fantastic piece!

Need to get my hands on it

I am fully on the same page with you about Omeisaurus. It is also a quite famous sauropod from China and this would help to further complete the Dashanpu fauna. I am thinking more and more along the lines of completing some (famous) faunas these days. Currently, I focus on three faunas, the Morrison, Tendaguru and Dashanpu.

Of course there are gonna be animals that are similar to each other. Similar, but not identical. These huge fragmentary titanosaurs are pretty much identical (or perhaps I should simply say identical). I dare you (or anybody else, for that matter) to look at the following pics, without any names or sizes, and tell me which species do both figures represent:




With the remains we have of these sauropods, how can anyone possibly tell? They can literally be any of these taxa (and more!):

Which means that those differences you mentioned: size, soft tissue , colors , patterns and osteoderms (speaking of osteoderms, they're basically always the same and arranged the same way too) are artificial (owing to the manufacturer who creates the models), not natural.

For contrast, let's say we have a Triceratops and a Torosaurus figure next to each other, two similar animals. Even if the figures were the same size, had the same soft tissue, the same pose and the same colors, one would still be able to tell which figure represents Triceratops and which one represents Torosaurus. That's not the case with these titanosaurs.

If people are keen on collecting these huge scrappy titanosaurs, good for them if they enjoy them. That's more funds to Haolonggood after all, so good news. I was just expressing how I would find it more interesting if Haolonggood made models of sauropods that can actually be identified.

For instance, if I look at this:



I don't need to be told I am looking at an Amargasaurus for me to notice I'm looking at an Amargasaurus.

And if Haolonggood wants to focus on the really big sauropods, there are options beyond the aforementioned huge scrappy titanosaurs: diplodocids, Giraffatitan, Turiasaurus, Omeisaurus (as some of you mentioned), etc.

Shantungosaurus confirmed for this month!!

Looks to be quite a vibrant colour scheme. Can't wait to see the reveal!
