PNSO: New for 2022

[Lynx]

It's amazing how much negativity there is in the PNSO product threads! Nagging about prices, scientific validity, paintwork, whatever. Attempting to present arguments stumbles upon an aggressive, often unsubstantiated NO. Constructive dialogue and useful exchange of views becomes simply impossible.
In the Nanmu branch, they admire the unrivaled value for money, while here they are dissatisfied with PNSO's pricing. I go to Aliexpress and see that Tyrannosaurus Alpha Nanmu is 20% more expensive than Winter Wilson, and Alpha is delivered without a box, without a brochure. But PNSO are still bad.
Sorry, but I find it difficult to endure all this negativity. devoid of any rational basis. The administration recently issued a warning to me, but, apparently, I will have to leave the forum on my own soon. This perpetual grumbling is too toxic for me.
I commanded a special unit in the army for 3 years, taught at a college for 15 years, and ran a municipal museum for 7 years. But this is beyond my strength.

Please do not drag another argument into this thread. It's getting irritating.
The Nanmu rex receives criticism too, and it's also larger and much more detailed than Winter Wilson, so that's a good reason why it is more praised. You then spill blatant lies about the figure, which seems like a bit of a bait to me. People, except in some of these ridiculous arguments, give constructive criticism when necessary.
Not to mention the fact that a lot of the figures claim to be scientifically accurate, but when they are not, you have to understand people can and will come in to tell them off.
Please stop bringing negativity into this thread. Nobody else is, and if you actually read the thread you'd know that. In my opinion, you seem to be attempting to bait people into arguing with you about this.

And something interesting, a fan resculpt of Wilson's head with lips:

I especially like the resculpt and repaint on Andrea on the side! Even though I'm rather neutral on the feather debate, if it's reconstructed like how they did here then I'm all for it! The striping on the legs and further keratin on the head look amazing!

Oh wow. I never thought Wilson (and Andrea) with lips would look this good. Certainly makes the figure look more natural. The keratin was an odd omission from the original figure too; including it just emphasizes that classic Tyrannosaurus-look even more.

[Carnoking]

Oh wow, I love that Andrea. Makes me wish I was more adept at doing custom work, this hobby would take on a whole new level of awesome!

Dang. That is a huge improvement!

[stargatedalek]

Those look spectacular. If only PNSO had done them like this from the beginning, would have been instant buy.

[JohannesB]

The artistry on those is impeccable. This does look interesting, although (and since I am not at all sold on the 'why T. rex would have had lips'-argument) to me it does seem a bit over the top.

I've seen some other customized Wilson and Andrea models on Instagram, but this version Andrea has to be the most impressive of them all. I've also seen a Wilson based on the Blue Rhino Studio "Karl" T. Rex which I also found impressive (link below) but this Andrea is much better.

Andrea looks soooo much better with this modification.

Because the Nanmu rex is gigantic

I was so focused on Wilson that I didn't even notice the customized Andrea when I posted the link. But wow, I agree with you all, she looks amazing!

Seems like the modifications are based on PNSO's art for the T-rex family (edit: sans lips, of course ):



If only PNSO stuck to their concept art when they produce a model. We could have gotten a mass-produced Andrea that looks like the customized one.

I'm neutral on the lip debate, I'll take either, but I do find them a bit overdone on that custom Wilson. Such voluptuous, smoochy lips look a bit strange on a T-rex to me. I wonder what colour of lipstick he prefers? That Andrea is a 10/10, though.

(For the sake of levity) I would call the paintings by PNSO 'artistic license'

I'm pretty sure the big lips are accurate

[Shonisaurus]

That repainting of the tyrannosaurus Andrea has been great, it makes the figure fantastic and attractive.

On the other hand, the PNSO centrosaurus is without a doubt the best that PNSO has made of ceratopsids, I like its finish and its meticulous and hyper-realistic detail. If PNSO makes all the dinosaurs and prehistoric animals like the centrosaurus has done, I'm afraid that there will not be a toy dinosaur company that can compete against PNSO, although I also have to clarify that PNSO has made unmatched and very difficult figures this past year. to overcome such as paraurolophus, iguanodon, tarbosaurus, torvosaurus, borealopelta or carcharodontosaurus by porner several examples

PNSO Centrosaurus




Common issues: hmm actually there's none this time aside from dark paints.

PNSO has evolved nicely, this Centrosaurus' pose, musculatures and details are on next level, resulting in far more realistic look compared to 2020 ceratopsians. Mixed feelings on the paintjob though: it's certainly a downgrade from promotion images and dark figures usually don't look well on shelves next to colourful figures, but it feels more natural than old ceratopsians (no weird stripes or gloss).

These pics are true to in person colourations:

Phone automatically adjusted exposure in these pics so the colours on Centrosaurus ended up about 30% lighter (now if only the figure is like this... imho those green stripes even look better than promo pics). Machairoceratops looks somewhat toy-ish next to Centrosaurus:

Well hidden head seams, again colours are much lighter:

Overall it's a nice piece if you are ok with the paint (and price maybe)

[Carnoking]

Thanks as always Faras. I am excited for this one despite the slightly muddied paint.

[Bread]

Yes thank you @Faras

I do have to say, even with its high prices, the new Triceratops and Centrosaurus are a major improvement over the last few ceratopsians.

Now, can we please get a few Tyrannosaurs to go along with them? Other than Tyrannosaurus rex....

[Lynx]

I'm so glad the ceratopsians are finally getting some vibrant crests! Might actually buy this one.

[Faras]

My pleasure 

Yeah imo biggest problem of 2020 releases: details and skeletal structures that account for half (maybe even more) the beauty of a figure are lost to oversized scales (size of scales itself doesnt bother me much). Personally I seriously enjoy brilliant muscle tensions, skin foldings and shoulder blades/pelvis outlines on 2021 figures

On the other hand, I feel the paint application on the 2021 releases is a bit more sloppy than on some of the 2020 releases, mainly when it comes to theropod teeth. Also the inside of the mouths is painted way better on their 2020 theropods (just compare Wilson and Andrea in that regard). I do find it very impressive though how fast PNSO is able to improve their sculpting of the skin details. I have the Triceratops and the Pachyrhinosaurus on the way, I'm looking forward to comparing the two.
