PNSO: New for 2022

My Suchomimus stood by itself perfectly for about a year. Now it keeps falling down to its right, even with the help rod. Where on the body should I place the rod, can't find a good spot for it? Really annoying.

I know about the heating tip, and putting stuff under the feet. But I kinda feel that if there's a rod, that should be sufficient.

Most of those rods I can't ever get them to fit anywhere helpful, a few are under arms, mostly I try to fit the, under the chest. Make sure the feet are touching the ground. It has to work like a tripod.

My support rod didn't fit under my Suchomimus initially. I had to shave off a few millimetres before it sat properly under the torso, just behind the arms. But the base (where the "PNSO" logo is) is right in front of, nearly touching, the middle toe of my Sucho's right leg. That's how I got it to continue standing.

Hope this helps!

I usually have to modify the height of the rod to make it useful. It's almost an habitual thing now for my PNSO theropod purchases.

I figured this would be the best place to ask this, I've been on the fence about getting Jennie the Centrosaurus for years at this point, I think I remember dino dragon saying the head was a bit to small and that's been what's stopping me, can anyone settle this for me, is the head to small?

Honestly I am not sure if it is to small. But to me it's looks like it's in a very acceptable range. Unlike the Corythosaurus whose head definitely looks to big.

I am fairly new to the hobby and it is one that I am looking to also pick up. To me it holds up really well compared to newer models from PNSO and HLG

oscars_dinos

Yeah I think dinodragons is the only one I've seen said that the head was too small but I hold his opinion to a high regard. But at the same time no one else has brought it up so, im also maybe waiting to see if HLG makes one but I don't think it will be as good as PNSO's

Actually he says that compared to one skeletal it appears that the body is too large compared to the head, and then goes on that the proportions are in agreement with another skeletal. I actually measured the ratio head length / total body length on the skeletal of Scott Hartman and the PNSO figure. The ratio is 0.32 for the skeletal and 0.31 for the PNSO figure. The total body length is horizontal length, but I have bent the tail on the PNSO figure to correct for the curvature to the side.

I'm confident if Haolonggood makes a Centrosaurus it will be better than PNSO's!

As much as I continue to be more and more impressed by Haolonggood. Whenever PNSO and HLG do the same species I always end up preferring the PNSO. Something about the eyes on there ceratopsians weird me out. And the HLG paint schemes just don't do it for it me. But I hope they prove me wrong and a different horn orientation would be nice.

I fully agree, the only exception being their mamenchi, I feel that one surpasses pnso's. I'm waiting on the styraco to come out to see which one I'll end up getting. If that one is on the same level as pnso's other offers then maybe I'll get it and wait a bit to see if HLG cooks up a centro, if its not on pnso's level tho then maybe I just wont wait and will get pnso's centro, especially if the size of the head isn't a issue.

The sculpts of Haolonggood figures have become really good in a very short time, although the most recent PNSO figures are in my view still more refined. Also the poses of PNSO figures tend to be more interesting and variable on average. I really like the paint schemes of the larger Haolonggood sauropods, but the paint schemes of some of their smaller figures are still plagued by these squiggly and to starkly applied lines. The transitions are just not as smooth as it is the case on PNSO figures. Compare the pattern of the Haolonggood Xenoceratops with that of the PNSO Lokiceratops. This is still a huge difference. And this has nothing to do whatsoever with colors or the design as such.

The bottom line is that a paint design is more easily modified than a sculpt. Therefore I do not mind that some Haolonggood paint schemes do not live up to my standard. I just send them for repaint and get something truly unique. PNSO figures are rarely in need of a repaint. Right now the Ankylosaurus is undergoing repaint, because it is from this late run with very pale colors.

Apparently you are in possession of a crystal ball that makes it possible to see into the future.

Haha!  In all seriousness, I'm going by what Haolonggood's ceratopsids are like sculpt-wise, comparing that with the PNSO which has a noticeable seam between the lower jaw and rest of the skull and what is generally considered a "muddy" paintjob on the PNSO Centro vs the more interesting paintjobs of Haolonggood figures.

I do also appreciate that Haolonggood has optimized the production of their ceratopsians in such a way that they are able to make them in one piece or with the seam lines between head and body concealed in a very clever way. Diabloceratops and Xenoceratops are in one piece as far as I can see. I do not have the Utahceratops in hand, but I think it is also in one piece.

After rounding out my ceratopsian herd this Christmas with some pnsos and HLG's I've decided I want the pnso cento, after waiting and seeing how the hlg styraco compared to the pnso I've decided in terms of realism and detail pnso is still ahead with a older sculpt then hlg is currently, and that's no hate on hlg, I got the hlg diablo and I love that little guy but I just feel that I like the pnso centro enough to not wait... only thing is its not available on amazon, I shouldn't worry right? I know a lot of people are doom posting that the of pnso is near but I don't believe that, figure should be back in stock soon right?
