HAOLONGGOOD - New for 2024

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

The beak looks rounded again?

The teased figure has to be Chasmosaurus.  I hope!

That would be great if it was a chasmosaurus!!

that would be a new genus for me 

Same! I think the only one I have is the Safari TOOB figure. Chasmosaurus is also my most wanted ceratopsian at this point.

I would also love to have a good model of Chasmosaurus. I like to have all of the major clade naming genera. We have a decent Centrosaurus and so I would like a decent Chasmosaurus as well. I am still hoping for the PNSO that was included in that list which circulated a while ago. But certainly Haolonggood would also have a good take on Chasmosaurus.

Lana has had some delays in the art departments of the various studios. I'm still waiting on my Dilophosaurus pair that are about 4 months behind schedule.  So i can see it's possible. If they are trying to match a few different colors of paint, I didn't see any pics showing the damage you mention and what areas it affects, so it may take a bit to get done then ship.

I certainly wouldn't "throw away" a model as it could even be resold with the damaged paint , I guarantee someone would want it.

Lana seems to be sometimes a bit selective with their response to different matters. I noticed that they are very quick if you inquire about a new expensive resin model that has become available for pre-order for obvious reasons. Then they are much slower when it comes to issues like the one I just experienced.

And custom painted models seem to take the longest, probably because even for them this is a niche business. I have these three large sauropod kits (Argentinosaurus, Barosaurus, Maraapunisaurus) on order since August last year. And so far only the Barosaurus is nearing completion because they have sent pictures. I foresee that it will be a year until I have all three in hand.

Indeed I would not throw the Alamosaurus away even if I would order a new one. When I said this it was a way to express my frustration about all the extra effort and costs that I have due to these paint defects. The main paint defect is on one of the forelimbs of the Alamosaurus, and only visible from one side. There are a few smaller ones, but not near as bad as that one.

I think it will be either Chasmosaurus, Anchiceratops, Diabloceratops or Centrosaurus. A Chasmosaurus skeletal has been appearing in some Haolonggood boxes for a while now, so this could finally be the long-awaited Chasmosaurus. Regardless of Haolonggood or PNSO making a Chasmosaurus, bye bye to my BotM one I guess. 

Paleofiguras says the figure will be revealed next week.

It's known Udanoceratops is coming from Haolonggood

It is?? That's news to me! Welcome news.


Sorry about your situation, T @thomasw100. I agree a Warhammer painter is a good candidate for doing touch-up work. I've had mixed experiences with Lana. Once a package was lost and they replaced it very quickly. Another time a model (painted to order) arrived with appendages broken off, and they offered nothing except a suggestion to glue it.

[Gwangi]

A Udanoceratops would be fantastic! And unexpected. 

[SidB]

Good for you, T @thomasw100 , I hope that this corrective repainting works out to your complete satisfaction.

Mostly  I have received things on time, my Showanna Giga, the Quetzalcoatlus, Cryolophosaurs. They just messaged me today about my Dakotaraptor. That Dilo pair from Lingu Studio though..Lana says they are keeping after them to finish it.  I imagine they might having some issues but Lana doesn't seem too worried as of yet.  I do recall it's harder to get the better artists than just their inhouse artists.

Thanks to all for the positive words and support. I really hope that things will get sorted out over time. As someone has rightfully commented that no picture of the paint damage was shown, I just add one of the most affected area on the right forelimb. There are a few much smaller areas affected but much less visible.

Have you considered sending this to dinosaur_models_artworks? To fix these errors.

Another alternative that I could possibly provide is purchasing this model from you. This would of course result in you purchasing another to hope for no paint errors. I am offering this because I am looking into purchasing one of these, and sending it to dinosaur_models_artworks to straighten the tail, and a full repaint. If you're interested, send me a PM.

Yes, Haolonggood confirmed it on Facebook.  They also confirmed they're making Hungarosaurus.

[bmathison1972]

I had to look up both Udanoceratops and Hungarosaurus and now I am drooling with the thought of getting HLG versions of those critters...

Hi there, indeed I have been thinking of sending this to Dinosaur Models Artworks, but the shipping costs back and forth would be at least 50 Euros and then of course the costs for the commission work. And then two times the risk of damage or loss. This is why right now I am looking for a local solution, i.e. someone where I could deliver and pick up this heavy model in person.

You're not alone!

If they are making a Hungarosaurus, it bodes well for collectors looking for smaller species done in HLG's style and in 1:35 scale. Kentrosaurus soon - fingers crossed!

[Concavenator]

Kentrosaurus soon - fingers crossed!

I like to think that day is closer. 

[Sim]

I'm happy with my CollectA Kentrosaurus, but if Haolonggood made Kentrosaurus I'm confident I would replace the CollectA with it as Haolonggood's would be better no doubt and more colourful - the colouration of CollectA's being one thing I think would benefit from being better.

Kentrosaurus must be the most requested species from Haolonggood, after Chasmosaurus, hopefully both will be made by them at some point.

[thomasw100]

Paleofiguras posted images of a large base that should be released in May. This will be quite suitable for the Mamenchisaurus and any of the other large sauropods.

[ceratopsian]

A limited edition apparently.
