The skull almost seems to be too short and deep, though I must admit I do like the red color scheme, and I applaud haolonggood for trying something new!

Looked on paleofiguras' page and it seems this was just a particularly bad angle, while the beak could probably do with being a bit sharper, seeing it from a side profile reveals a much nicer shape to the skull.

The whole head feels a bit off ngl. Not a fan of how conservative the brow horns are, particularly the short length and lack of significant downward curvature.

Episquamosal 1 (the topmost lateral frill spike) is also at an odd angle compared to both fossil material and most reconstructions. Should be more erect and splayed out rather than droopy as seen in the HLG figure.

The next surprise and side dish has arrived. Great that they have made another ceratopsian that has been neglected for quite some time. I really like both color schemes. In particular I like that they have done away with these white wiggly lines that have been repeatedly criticized by a number of people. The sculpt looks really fine and nicely textured. Very much like the sculpt that we saw in the last PNSO ceratopsians such as Triceratops, Centrosaurus, Styracosaurus and Torosaurus.

Yeah, it looks cute and friendly.

Haolonggood listened to comments that the colour schemes were becoming rather similar!  And the "crocodile" scutes on the back are gone.  As a ceratopsian lover, thank you to V @vampiredesign for giving me another pair.  There's also a very attractive montage poster been produced.  One of their staff is excellent at creating these!

I was just looking for a Kosmoceratops! This is incredible! I'll add it to my wishlist, another amazing figure from HLG.

Nitpicks be darned, I'm so excited for a model of my favorite ceratopsian!

I don't have a Kosmoceratops yet, so I will probably get it. Does anyone know if this is 2023 or 2024?

 It can already be ordered and the shipping information says it will be sent around December 25th :) .

Definitely sitting amongst my favorites from Haolonggood. I especially love that hint of blue on the orange variant.

Nice to wake up to this. I was really hoping for and even half-expecting another ceratopsian from HLG. Bravo!

SidB

I didn't hesitate to order the red with blue version from Lana.(Though the 'green' version tempted me more than a bit).

I like it a lot. Looks very friendly hahaha like it has some puppy vibe to its face. I've been waiting for another ceratopsian preferably from Safari but this one is pretty good.

Sim

I like this Kosmoceratops!  I just don't know which colouration to pick!  It's good to have another chasmosaurine get a good figure, centrosaurines have gotten more attention.

Faelrin

That's a nice surprise. I really like the red one.

It's always exciting to see another ceratopsian from HLG, this is a must have for me. I'm leaning towards the red one.
