HAOLONGGOOD - New for 2024

[thomasw100]

A limited edition apparently.

I understand from one of the comments on Paleofiguras that initially they made this for this exhibition that will take place 20-22 March. But then apparently they decided to make some of them as limited edition.

What I find particularly exciting about this base is the size. With 95 by 35 cm one can really use this to place a small dinosaur ecosystem.

Honestly I think they should move forward with this concept. Like make bases of this or similar size for different landscapes, like beach, arid areas, forest, wetlands etc. And then release several dinosaur species that formed the community of each of these ecosystems.

People then would want to complete the ecosystems and get all the species. This would boost their sales again.

It looks nice enough, if a bit generic. I probably won't buy something like this unless it has full live trees or some other distinctive vegetation, rather than aquarium ferns and dead trunks. The old Favorite Georama Cretaceous Forest diorama is the gold standard in my estimation.

As T @thomasw100 pointed out earlier, more ecosystems would be great. Although, a bit further on would be giving a bit of life for ecosystems with plenty of smaller (and very important) dinosaurs such as the Yixian/Jehol biota with those incredible and well preserved findings.
Some kind of puzzle ecosystems divided in several sections is a suggestion for those places.
Other formations would be Nemegt, Djadochta, etc.

I have a bit of a hunch that we will see more fauna from Hell Creek released by HLG considering the general size and aesthetic of the base being perfect for multiple large 1/35 figures, though it would be cool for companies to do such as a set based off an ecosystem, like a pre-made diorama with a large number of contemporary taxa sold as a bundle, though such is highly unrealistic.

I think the Triceratops skull makes it pretty much only for certain species?

[DefinitelyNOTDilo]

Ooh this looks quite intriguing! I still need to pick up hlg's Alamo base (even tho I don't plan on getting the Alamo lmao). Any idea how much this one will cost?

Chasmosaurus (C. russelli?)

This year's work will be more than last year, and I have been busy all along. Of course, this year's surprises cannot be stopped. Preliminary plan for 30 new products. There will be Easter eggs announced during the exhibition. I can't reply to the message immediately. I hope to understand. I will come here as soon as I have time. Thank you all.

V @vampiredesign Thank you for the above Chasmosaurus. So very happy you produced one. Can't wait to see what else comes out this year.

This huge base is now available for pre-order from Lana Time Shop. Cost is 90 USD, but shipping will be expensive. I had messaged Lana already last night and they informed me that shipping will be 110 USD air mail to Europe, because that base is really heavy. They also offered shipping by train for 75 USD. The base will be available for shipment in June.

Chasmosaurus looks really great. And 30 new products this year is just incredible, really exciting. We know about 7 of them (Chasmosaurus, Mamenchisaurus, Edmontosaurus, Stegosaurus ungulatus, Euoplocephalus, Brachiosaurus?, Argentinosaurus?), so more than 20 surprises yet to come.

And I really like this huge base that is now available. This is an amazing option for people who want to display dinosaur ecosystems. Depending on how the sales figures of this first one will turn out, I would find it great if you would make more of these for different habitats like wetlands, forest, desert, coast etc. Maybe one per year. The size of 95 by 35 cm is perfect.

One more suggestion to you. I would find it amazing if you would consider making actually some Mesozoic plant models like for example cycads, horsetails, conifers etc. This would work very nicely with this very large base that just became available for pre-order.

FINALLY, Chasmosaurus! Thank you V @vampiredesign !

Oh, and...

... bye, BotM. 

[Carnoking]

Gorgeous sculpt! And look at those buttery smooth paint apps! And all for 16 bucks! It's figures like these that really make me question my PNSO loyalty.

Looks like C. russelli?

[Bread]

Lovely ceratopsian but this is a first where I'm more intrigued by a base than a figure...

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.

So will this base appear on Aliexpress? Lanatimeshop? Anyone know yet?

Finally! Chasmosaurus! A glorious announcement.

Couldn't have said it better myself
