Haolonggood modern animal models?

[croco_105]

This image was posted earlier this year stating Haolonggood was planning to release modern animals.
Any updates regarding these? Tried looking for more, but can't find any news.
I'm interested to see how they tackle living animals.

Anyone know of sites, maybe Chinese, which might post updates for these non-dinosaur figures?

Is that a tiger between the lion and a wolf?

They all seem to be african animals, so I'd assume it's a lioness.

Modern animals are welcome, though I must say I would have preferred an extinct Cenozoic series, yet Otodus megalodon and Deinosuchus give me hope they'll further branch out.

I'm guessing HLGG will stick to the 1:35 scale for their extanct animals, and that they'll be solid reproductions. So, as far as I'm concerned, they're more than welcome to display alongside Cenozoic species replicas like those from Eofauna. I am finding hard to find 1:35 figures that I actually like and that are still affordable — rhinos, for example, are a tough one. I can't find a rhinoceros that satisfies me to display alongside Eofauna's Paraceratherium when it arrives.

If that's a wolf, they're not all African.

And the shape really isn't very hyena or hunting dog.

I wonder if it could be an aardwolf? Probably not but that would be great. I'm starting to wonder if we'll ever see any of these though. PNSO had a batch of extant animals announced that have never been released, as far as I know.

EDIT: If they're to scale then it is definitely not an aardwolf.

At best it would be a brown or striped, but there's no way. It's a wolf.

I believe that's a tiger, if they are to scale. A lioness would be smaller than the lion.

In regards to others speculating if they're all African species. That's an Asian elephant, the back is domed, Africans have a dip in the middle of the spine.

[Monkeysaurus]

I wonder if HLG would try their hand at whales. I'll be interested to see how well they tackle mammals. I've said it before but I don't think they'll be as good as Eofauna but we'll see. Does that elephant look too big relative to the others? Is it prehistoric? I didn't think they were that much larger than rhinos and hippos.

[Rayeknor]

Looks like an indian elephant that is slightly smaller then the African one, the scaling looks correct to me. Would love to see a 1:35 polar bear as well, they get up to 2200lbs so close to the hippo and rhinos for a large male.

[Turkeysaurus]

Paleofiguras said they'll be 1:18 back in the day.

[Over9K]

Oh yeah, I'd be down for an African Elephant bull, and any large crocodilian, perhaps a Mountain Gorilla in the right scale (1/10th-ish).

If they did a really nice Snow Leopard, I'd buy two.

[Monkeysaurus]

I can't find a rhinoceros that satisfies me to display alongside Eofauna's Paraceratherium when it arrives.

That Eofauna Paraceratherium is almost sexy to me! I have also noticed the lack of quality 1/35 extant Rhinos. It'll be such a great addition to have the largest terrestrial mammal next to the largest land animal ever below the largest animal that ever lived.

A bit chonky to be a lioness, no?

Gotta be P. tigris

Have you considered the PNSO Rhino? It is a gorgeous figure in hand.

[Torvosaurus]

Striped hyena (not enough ruff around the neck to be a brown hyena), hippo, tiger (likely bengal), Asian elephant (its back is convex when African elephants have a flat or slightly concave back and the large ears are not part of the silhouette), lion, and likely a black rhino. I think its head is too short to be a white rhino.

[Rayeknor]

The best 1:35 extant megafauna animals by far as of today are from the now retired brand Dafei from China, and also DeClay studious in Vietnam are doing some great models these days. They are all very expensive hand painted resin figures and Dafei figures seem impossible to find on the secondary market. I've so far only managed to get a hold of their african elephant bull when Lana sold some of their limited edition 1:35 ones a while back.

The PNSO 1:35 giraffe is fantastic and cheap, I do not have their 1:35 rhino so cannot comment on that.

Wow those are the nicest extant animal models I've ever seen! If, however I am to take a mortgage out in order to pay for a model I think I'll stick with extinct fauna for now at least.

@Pinbacker

PNSO white rhino does indeed look beautiful, however I was under the impression that it wasn't 1/35 scale? I can't find any reliable sources to confirm this though.

This version is around 1/31-33 scale:
