Gonna be an instant buy for me! I love the colors on both.

Darn white squiggly lines are back, really throwing off my love for that blue/green frill. That said, brown variant is quite a lovely alternative

Looks better under natural lighting. I'm a fan of both so far, but will likely hold off on purchasing until HLG reveals the colour schemes for the rest of their planned ceratopsians. That way I can avoid duplicate colour schemes as HLG tends to reuse them for different models.

The brown one is my favorite of the two. The pattern reminds very much of patterns we see in nature on piglets of wild boar. Unfortunately they got the number of painted nails on the manus wrong again. But this can be corrected fairly easily. Lana Time Shop has the Xenoceratops already up for purchase at 19.99 USD.

Some more pictures from Lana which show the frill in all its glory.

Gorgeous looking figures, I do prefer the Blue one. The yellow one is also really nice but it's rather similar to their yellow Pentaceratops which I already have.
I definitely got to catch up on quite a few of their releases as well...

Oh my goodness!!!! The blue one for me, definitely.

I like that the osteoderms on the body are  highlighted / coloured!

I've been looking forward to this one and am not disappointed. I'll be getting the blue one for sure, mostly because of the colors on that frill! I don't care for the squiggly lines but that's my only complaint.

I feel like the in hand pics will look a lot better but, the color scheme looks a bit to, toyish? at least for me

Yeah not a fan of these but i don't mind because it wasn't a model i look for.

I have more worries about Styracosaurus now though.

Haolonggood's ceratopsians continue to be totally unmatched in quality across the board

This seems not to be correct if you would read all his comments. Just few days ago there was a praising post about the Alamosaurus. I know Haolonggood is now for some the "in" company and any even balanced and fair criticism will result in comments that border on or are outright personal.

This is something I do not understand. Yes Haolonggood is doing a great job with their line of figures and yes they have massively improved in just a year and yes their sauropods are amazing and deserve praise.

But one can praise everything that is positive and at the same time criticize what one believes is negative. In between many improvements there are things that I would call a retrogression.

Like the reappearance of the white squiggly lines on the blue-gray version of this Xenoceratops. This particular feature has been criticized by many and even reviewers like Dinos Dragons are not happy about this any more. It is therefore hard to understand why this keeps appearing every once in a while.
