I think that's because the figures probably are in preproduction much earlier than you might think.

When it was released to us it was alwready to late for such a change.

It's not worth it to modify it costwise, and it won't affect their sales.
Only hardcore dinosaurs fans like us care about that.
I won't buy that Amargasaurus for that reason, but they probably don't care.

I agree they should make much more researches before making their prototypes, it's not that hard.
If I was able to learn the latest interpretations on Amargasaurus, they could have as well.

Damn shame about the sail on what is otherwise a really good model. Love the pose and the colors.

HLG makes some of the best models on the market, just sometimes marred by outdated references. By the time they showed off the Amargasaurus in the teaser, it was probably too late to correct the sail. Being more transparent with the customerbase earlier in the design process would probably break some kind of embargo they might have. Hiring a paleo-savvy person of some kind to provide them with up-to-date references would probably fix any future issues with accuracy. A bit more rigor in the research station, and I don't think even PNSO could compete, especially for the price.

Blade-of-the-Moon

It might go back to a sail in a couple years though. I see they went around halfway meeting both theories in the middle?

Nice, another HLG release. I really like this image of the Amargasaurus, it looks so regal.

I feel like HLG has stepped up their patterning even more - I don't recall the spots on other models, correct me if I'm wrong!

Nice, but I'll hold onto my old PNSO, I do believe.

Like all Amargasaurus figures.  Funny how no-one gets it right.  Shockingly even Battat's makes the mistake of making the first neck spine paired.  I'm hoping for an accurate Amargasaurus from CollectA or Eofauna!

Also, we're getting through all the figures on the poster!  I'm interested in seeing the remaining figures plus the theropods Haolonggood said will be coming!  (They didn't specify which species, just that some are coming.)

It may not be accurate but I'll make an exception because he looks very polite.

The Amargasaurus was announced the day I opened my little Saichania pair.  A beautifully painted duo of miniatures - glad I opted for both colour variants.  Like the majority of Haolonggood's target audience, I imagine, I was happy enough to swiftly order an Amarga.  In the end I settled on the green, though it was more "coin toss" than huge preference.  I'd be happy with either.  Given that it's a larger model, I didn't want to order both.

Quote from: Turkeysaurus on July 14, 2024, 10:09:25 PMJust quick thoughts.. If you could only buy one, would you prefer W-Dragon Giraffatitan or HLG Alamosaurus? Let's say prices are equal.

Hard decision, but I would go for Haolonggood Alamosaurus.

Finally i have HLG Alamosaurus!!! It's still in australia at the moment, my sibling will bring it in september.

I feel like Coyote after hunting Roadrunner though.

Nice Amargasaurus, but I think I'll stick with my Safari Carnegie.

That's the one I have and I feel the same.

I'll pass this one as well and i don't even have any Amargasaurus. It's a famous and small size sauropod so i assume companies will continue making more of these.

Also how strong the evidence about the sail for new paper?

I'm curious about the vascularization aspect and how, specifically, it co-relates to the degree of envelopment by sail tissue.

Huayangosaurus
Camarasaurus
Utahceratops
Einosaurus
Styracosaurus
Xenoceratops

4 of the last 6 are Ceratopsians. 5 months left before New year.

So 6 dinosaur left for coming within 5 months and 4 of them Ceratopsians? Doesn't sound realistic.


 
Hopefully some more too.


Sim

Haolonggood has said there are theropods coming from them, with intended release this year.

Primeval12

I bet a lot will be released around Black Friday/Christmastime!
