Haolonggood - New for 2025

[GojiraGuy1954]

Am I the only one who prefers HLG's Torosaurus over PNSO's?

HLG Toro doesn't have the Heath Ledger face of the average PNSO Ornithischian

I looked at the first post of this thread and I noticed Haolonggood has basically released only 1 figure per month so far.  It's a change from the previous two years...  I'm eager for a Deinosuchus from Haolonggood, nothing else they've produced this year or that is confirmed to be coming from them interests me...  I read Paleofiguras say Haolonggood will make Miragaia...  So if the one figure per month continues, it looks like what's left from Haolonggood this year is Shantungosaurus, Giganotosaurus, Ruyangosaurus or another titanosaurian, Iguanodon, Deinosuchus, Miragaia and was Mosasaurus confirmed too?  I wish the stegosaurian was a remade Dacentrurus, rather than called Miragaia...

Oh I'm definitely getting that Torosaurus. The PNSO is way too pricey for me to justify and I imagine this guy will prob be around as expensive as the Triceratops

[Flaffy]

I already have PNSO's (and I consider it quite possibly their best figure) but I may get the orange to go with it as I love the colors on it and it matches fairly well.

I'm tempted to display the PNSO as T. latus and the HLG as 'T. utahensis'...

PNSO's Torosaurus is one of my favorite figures in my collection despite the backside of the frill. Still their best ceratopsian to date I think and I even preferred it over the Deinocheirus as PNSO's best figure of 2022.

I do like the HLG Torosaurus and I find the colors of the frill very interesting. There's something about how HLG does the eyes on their figures that puts me off though. Their Triceratops didn't suffer as much of that but this Torosaurus is another prime example of that feat.

What a lovely looking model! That's definitely going to be an instant buy for me once it comes out. I'm just not sure which color variant I like better, yet ... both look gorgeous    Also, it's a small detail, but I really dig the texture on the beak.

Paleofiguras posted more pictures of Torosaurus:

The yellow one really does feel DeClay inspired...

[Samrukia]

blue variant body paint scheme is repeated again, too similar to Saurolophus

HlG has got to knock off the random squiggles. Get some unique paint applications like Eofauna. Sculpt is great, paint is weak.

[Turkeysaurus]

I think Eofauna painting is far weaker than Haolonggood (minus Atlasaurus) but they have some unique ideas.

I wonder the size of this Torosaurus.

I agree. It was pleasing first few times, now it's becoming all too predictable. Still very nice that we get multiple paint options.

Maybe some uniqueness like Eofauna ideas for paint patterns paired with PNSO paint / sculpt quality.

But then PNSO pricing is expected which might not please everyone.

Off topic:

Seeing some old Vitae sculpts and finished models one has to wonder what would happen if Rebor did not contribute to their demise. Perhaps they would be on a par or even surpassed PNSO or at least Haolonggood quality.

Let's see how will boundless world do.

I'm disappointed that we haven't yet gotten any images listing the dimensions of the Torosaurus.

[crazy8wizard]

I would assume at least three dimensions. Tesseract based figures don't tend to sell well 

[Concavenator]

I think Eofauna painting is far weaker than Haolonggood.

I disagree.

[MLMjp]

Seems like the red version has more of a brown-ish body color:

[SidB]

Hmmm, tough choice.

[suspsy]

I've updated the announcement on the blog with additional images listing the dimensions. The Torosaurus is thankfully smaller than the Triceratops. 

[crazy8wizard]

On one hand I'm mildly disappointed that the genus that is bigger than triceratops in real life is smaller in figure form but I'm also glad that it isn't going to be a huge shelf dominator.

[Over9K]

For once, I think the Brown/Red colorway is immediately superior... but the Blue/Grey is still nice... might need both...
