Haolonggood - New for 2025

[Halichoeres]

I guess it's about time to start a thread for these!

Confirmed:


Brachiosaurus (pre-orders include Huayangosaurus with new paint schemes)


Concavenator


Euhelopus


Saurolophus


Torosaurus


Tyrannosaurus

Left over from last year's teaser poster, as yet unreleased:

Einiosaurus

And current teaser suggests Deinosuchus, Shantungosaurus, and an as-yet-unknown titanosaur, possibly Ruyangosaurus

Will update as news emerges. Feel free to add if you have additional information!

[Tracewyrm!]

Concavenator

Fingers crossed that we get a good Concavenator after Safari's 'alright-but-not-great' take on the animal (and whatever Papo and Schleich were up to). Their recent Majungasaurus is giving me confidence that they can tackle the species.

[Torvosaurus]

I'd like an Udanoceratops.

Likewise, one of my most wanted dinosaurs.

[Turkeysaurus]

Brachiosaurus is already a must-buy for me. I hope we'll get a new silhouettes poster soon.

You mean one with yet four more large sauropods like last year? The march of the giants shall continue.

I think HLG does most famous sauropods because they are expensive and possibly risky. There is only one sure large sauropod left : Diplodocus. (Maybe Brontosaurus too for the name)

I think a few midsized weirdos are more probable than other giants from now. Something like these:

Same here. A Brachytrachelopan and a good Shunosaurus would be nice additions as well.

A Brachytrachelopan would also make my most wanted shortlist. Wouldn't say no to Shunosaurus either though.

Before someone points out that this is not a "hopes and dreams" thread, I'm aware, and I'm done sharing hopes and dreams.

Same! I just hope they manage to get it in 1:35 scale, or relatively close. While only slightly less tall than Majunga, it is significantly shorter. But I think if it's the size of their dilo it would be perfect! My other hope is for a nice peaceful walking pose, particularly something with the mouth closed, fingers crossed!

BOOM!

All three paint schemes of the Brachiosaurus look too busy for my taste. Maybe the brown is OK. I think this will be yet another full repaint by Dinosaur Models Artworks.

Concavenator still in the box, posted by Paleofiguras:

I agree, I usually like striking paint jobs, but for the Brachiosaurus I really wanted something natural, like a classic brown in reference to JP.
I also would have prefered the neck to have the same orientation as the Argentinosaurus, to display them together...

For all other large sauropods Haolonggood offered one option with a subdued and classy paint scheme and then several more flashy ones. This was a good strategy because different customers with different preferences would always find one option.

They seem to have done away with this strategy for the Brachiosaurus. You know I prefer any of the three paint designs of the Nanmu Brachiosaurus to these way too nervous and busy ones. Even the jungle version of the Nanmu looks better though it is quite colorful.

These patterns look like they have been designed by AI rather than by an artist. Just for the records, I never feel this way about any PNSO figure.

I doubt the actual colours will be quite that saturated.  As we've seen on many occasions, quick snaps are not a guide to real physical colour in hand. Of course that doesn't help if it's the pattern that one dislikes. But as usual it's down to personal preference. The pattern suits my taste perfectly well.

It is clear that these are very early pictures with poor lighting conditions and I expect the official promotional images as well as the final products to look much better. This has always been the case.

But my issue really is that all three variants have the same style of very busy and irregular patterns on the trunk. It is frustrating that this time unlike in all previous cases they do not offer a single option for people who like more classical designs. Not one out of three.

There are a few more options of famous very large ones like for example, Barosaurus, Supersaurus, Patagotitan, Dreadnoughtus.

But as you say plenty of opportunity for smaller to mid sized ones. Some examples in addition to your list: Cetiosaurus, Omeisaurus, Nemegtosaurus, Rapetosaurus, Euhelopus, Kaatedocus, Saltasaurus.

[Turkeysaurus]

Are these concept photos or end product? I remember stegosaurus colors changed after.

Regardless I'm loving these colors all. Because I haven't bought any sauropod blue or green variant yet.

[ceratopsian]

There is a production cost associated with producing different patterns. Maybe that influenced the choice of three different colours with the same pattern. But I do appreciate your point, T @thomasw100.
