HAOLONGGOOD - 2025 Hopes and Dreams

"Congratulations, Eofauna Diplodocus. Per community decree, your species is now Kaatedocus Leinkupal Galeamopus hayi."

Who is naming the other Diplodocines. Can I have some of what they're having.

If I buy Eofauna now, you are the reason.

Honestly I do no understand this discussion. Seems I am missing some information here. Has someone just reinterpreted an inferred Diplodocus carnegii specimen as Galeamopus?

Basically, I am jokingly declaring that the Eofauna Diplodocus is now retroactively Galeamopus (a close relative who seems to be about the right size at 1:35 scale) so we have an excuse to keep both it and a hypothetical future Diplodocus release; since Galeamopus distinguishing traits (outside of size) would be covered up by soft tissue in real life.

Found in 1884. It was thought to be diplodocus for 131 years. Named as separate genus in 2015.

Thank you, I think I got it now. Obviously this is about the second species of Galeamopus, the G. hayi. The first species that was described was as far as I know G. pabsti and I have even seen the skeleton named "Max" in the museum in Switzerland.

It doesn't have to be a joke though. There are plenty of closely related dinosaurs can be dopplegangers to eachother. For example I consider my rebor diplodocus as diplodocus hallorum. (old seismosaurus) It feels better than spending money on same animal again and again.  Also it helps with scaling issues.

If PNSO does large sauropods i might buy them despite having Haolonggood. I can consider them as different species or differet genus but closely related. They might not be exact fit but it would fall within inaccuracy of any other toy model.

"It was referred to Diplodocus for many years until Tschopp et al referred the remains to Galeamopus in 2015[1] and Galeamopus pabsti in 2017.[2]"  So "hayi" first according to wiki.

I hope Haolonggood releases something new soon.  I've found this Tyrannosaurus period the most boring phase in this hobby.  I can't wait for it to be over.

Every time one is sold, it makes the market a little more homogenous and boring.

I'd like to see HLG do a Centrosaurus, just to compare it with the two different PNSO ones.

[Concavenator]

When it comes to guessing, I'd say Centrosaurus, Gorgosaurus and Tarbosaurus might end up being released by HLG at some point.

[Flaffy]

Not a fan of the big seam across the head, nor the shrinkwrapping. Detracts from an otherwise good bodysculpt.

I guess you are talking about the new Shantungosaurus, and I agree.
But it might be possible to fix both the seam and the shrinkwrapping with some modeling.
If it is, then it might be a better idea than buying a complete other model like a 3D print ?

[Daspletodave]

So HLG is releasing Iguanodon soon. We know that Giga and Diplo are also coming. This means that HLG has covered most of the important dinosaur groups. Since they avoid all the smaller dinosaur groups, this leaves only a few options.  They could do the PNSO thing and do essentially the same dinosaurs over and over again. Or they could choose to do some mid-size dinos in family groups they haven't done yet. I think they will do the latter. I predict they will do a primitive sauropod such as Vulcanodon, Plateosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, and Camptosaurus. I expect they will continue to issue interesting ceratopsians and hadrosaurs, as well as large and dubious titanosaurs.

[Sim]

PNSO has actually taken a break from doing the same kinds of dinosaurs over and over again and has now started making interesting marine reptiles that have never been made as figures before!

Utahraptor and Austroraptor (and Dakotaraptor and Achillobator) are all larger than Camptosaurus and Pachycephalosaurus and probably more popular.  In theory they would get priority from a figure maker over the less popular ornithischians but I think Haolonggood is afraid of making accurate dromaeosaurids.  Maybe it will take exhausting all other options before they make a dromaeosaurid and that point might never be reached.

I'd love a Plateosaurus from Haolonggood!

I would hope Haolonggood makes Barosaurus or Supersaurus before yet another titanosaur that looks identical to others they've made..

[Turkeysaurus]

Regaliceratops would be nice.

[Dusty Wren]

Yeah, I'm not tired of ceratopsians yet, and I'd love a Regaliceratops.

[Paleo Flo]

An 1:1 Archaeopteryx would be nice...and a Kentrosaurus of course.

[Concavenator]

Pretty sure Kentrosaurus is one of the most requested species to HLG. Has been for a while.

[TheCambrianCrusader]

Parasaurolophus has a billion figures to its name, buuuuuut none are P. cyrtocristatus....

HLG has already made a trio of kaiparowits dinos so I'd be down for a new Para to pair with em

[Primeval12]

Isn't Bandai's?
