HAOLONGGOOD - New for 2024

[thomasw100]

Ok so he did not tag HLG, but I still believe this will be the sculpt as it matches the silhouette very well.

I thought this as well, but the position of the limbs does not match. Of course a pose can be modified given that this is a digital sculpt.

Looks superficially like B. altithorax though. Big if true

Dinos Dragons review of Styracosaurus:

Haolonggood Styracosaurus vs PNSO Steroidoceratops.

Looks like Brachiosaurus/Sauroposeidon if we're going with the latter not being a titanosaur but still a large brachiosaur. Look at the W-dragon giraffatitan proportions why this one is not that.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

looks good!

Not quite. Modern reconstructions of brachiosaurs are different from the Jurassic Park inspired appearance that we see in figures like the W-Dragon Giraffatitan and Nanmu Brachiosaurus.

This may actually belong to the "New for 2025"-thread, but I thought we already saw the Brachiosaur prototype in July 2023?

See post #1348 by Bread.

Back then it was speculated that this would be the rumored Alamosaurus but as we now know this one looks different and so does the Argentinosaurus. The prototype shown also matches the remaining grey silhouette quite well.

I still think the W-dragon giraffattian is the most accurate currently of it's kind despite being too shrink wrapped and having elephant skin, it is leaps and bounds better then the jurassic park look, but I assume a Haolonggood version will usurp its spot easily.

Looking at Hartman's art it is almost comical how the evolutionary pressure has these animals stretch their neck and torso upwards, they REALLY want that high growing vegetation.

I agree with you that the W-Dragon is the best figure we do currently have. It has the right structure of hand and feet unlike the Nanmu Brachiosaurus and also many other features which are fairly correct. The neck however is probably too slender and the posture may be discussed. Nima Sassani still draws his skeletals with the more upright posture that we see in the W-Dragon figure. And Gunnar Bivens does also draw skeletals of Brachiosaurus, Giraffatitan and related species like Cedarosaurus with the upright posture.

Paleofiguras shared this picture:



This must be our long awaited Brachiosaurus or Giraffatitan. One can clearly see the "helmet" on the head. I really  like that it seems to be again in one piece like the Alamosaurus and Apatosaurus.

Oh, very nice! I'm liking that sculpt and pose a lot! Now I hope for a more creative paint scheme. Please no squiggles.

[SenSx]

I like the neck orientation a lot.
It's vertical enough without be too much with that exagerated S shape.

[Joliezac]

Exciting!

[Turkeysaurus]

It even has a little throat pouch there.

Concavenator also confirmed for next month/this month depending on where in the world you are lol.

[Turkeysaurus]

I wonder if they give some gifts with this one too. It'll be probably similar to Alamosaurus size after all.

Perhaps another base, maybe with a large tree from which the Brachiosaurus is feeding. That would be epic.

I will be hard to resist getting a herd of these Brachiosaurus.

Concavenator is confirmed next month after the exposition/exhibition, as Paleofiguras have said in Facebook.

Besides, the account in Twitter called Haolonggood is not the official but seems to be from a friend and collaborator.

By the way, I love the Brachio (I hope it is a Brachiosaurus), the upright neck pose is so nicely done. It looks on the gracile side, and I really love that neck pouch.
