Haolonggood - New for 2025

[thomasw100]

HLG Brachiosaurus is approximately same height as HLG Alamosaurus

No it is not. You refer to the old teaser image which indicated that they had planned to make them approximately to the same size.

Alamosaurus is 36 cm high and 55 cm long. Brachiosaurus is stated to be 48 cm high and 60 cm long.

Of course it is possible that the listed dimensions of Brachiosaurus are not correct.

[thomasw100]

Oh I think I know what is going on.

I measured on one picture where the Brachiosaurus is displayed closest to the sagittal plane both the horizontal length and vertical height.

Then I assumed that the horizontal length of 60 cm is correct. If I calculate then the vertical height it comes out at 38.5 cm.

So I believe there is a simple typo in the height in the promotional images. It is most likely 38 cm and not 48 cm.

I did also verify by measuring the horizontal length of both Brachiosaurus and Argentinosaurus in this picture of the exhibition booth that indeed the 60 cm is the correct horizontal length of the Brachiosaurus.

Haolonggood (as well as other manufacturers) should always include the length through the centra.

[Flaffy]

Overall sculpt detail and underlying anatomy look more refined than the Argentinosaurus.

But I too am not a fan of the lipless look. Especially when all other HLG sauropods are lipped. For me, this alone majorly detracts from the figure. I do not understand the rationale at all.

I don't find the harsh cutoff between scaly skin and keratin "beak" convincing either.

I'm liking the rest of the body, but unfortunately the head (arguably THE focal point) has a few things that do not satisfy me.

[MLMjp]

So it's finally here...

Damn it Haolongood! You couldn't wait a couple months, couldn't you? Your timing with the Argentinosaurus was abismal, although to be fair with a total cost of almost 400€ after shipping and taxes I was doomed to not get it anyway...

But Brachiosaurus is my second favorite dinosaur. Whatever it takes...

they are approx at the same distance from camera, so pretty similar height. no way Brachiosaurus is much taller

[thomasw100]

The bits and pieces of information we are getting are pretty confusing. The one picture with all Haolonggood sauropods assembled seems to show that Brachiosaurus is much taller than Alamosaurus. Also the listed height of 48 cm seemed to support this.

But I have now realized that the 48 cm height is in all likelihood a typo and that this is probably 38 cm instead. So the Brachiosaurus will most likely be 60 cm long (5 cm longer than Alamosaurus) and 38 cm high (2 cm higher than Alamosaurus).

[Ajax88]

too big for 1:35 though, isn't it

Actually it feels a bit short! Tmk a 1:35 brachi should be a similar size to or even taller than Argent.

Certainly not, Argentinosaurus was probably in the 16 meter range height-wise, while Brachiosaurus altithorax was approx 12.5 meters tall.

[Elengassen]

That's good news for me if it's slightly larger than 1:35. It will scale better with the Rebor Diplodocus and HLG Apatosaurus (I think the latter is also too big for 1:35?)

[MLMjp]

Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus and Apatosaurus are the big three of sauropods, and I like each one to have different colors for contrast.

I believe red is the best looking one, but I like to hear your thoughts:



Can't wait for Haolonggood to eventually release a Diplodocus in a color that ruins this 

[thomasw100]

Haolonggood Apatosaurus is 66 cm through the centra. Apatosaurus ajax is estimated at 23 meters and Apatosaurus louisae at 23.5 meters. So the Apatosaurus figure is spot on.

[Stegotyranno420]

Brachio is well done! Good job, HLG.
probably one of their bests

[ceratopsian]

If it's sheer colour contrast and visual difference that you are looking for, then the red is the right one.

But I rather like the variation between pattern/plain grey/blue in the third image, as these are different but hang together harmoniously.

Personally I don't like the middle combination. I don't think the Apatosaurus colour sits well next to the Brachiosaurus.

But those are just my thoughts and not prescriptive in any way @MLMjp !

[Duna]

@MLMjp I think I agree with @ceratopsian
I would choose the red one for perfect contrast and balance. And the last one works better for harmonics.

[Pliosaurking]

All 3 Brachiosaurus looks great! It's also one of my favourite sauropods. I will unfortunately not be pre ordering this one as I just got that Argentinosaurus in and I ordered several other things at Christmas. Plus space is quite a bit of an issue atm. I'd definitely love to grab this down the line however. I find the Huyangosaurus pre order round 2 kinda odd. At least anyone who didn't get it the first time now can, I'm glad I have one anyhow.

I agree. I did some rough estimates compared to other dinosaur on the shelf.

My estimates are between Min 37.5 - Max  40.5 cm. 39 cm average. (+/- 1 cm)

That would make 71.5 cm and cm 25 meter for 1/35 scale. (For max 72.4 cm / 25.3 m & for min 70.75 cm / 24.8 )

All these if 60 cm is true estimate for it's lenght.
Also perspective and angles make it tough for estimate so i might be quite wrong with those rough vertical estimates.

[Turkeysaurus]

That's good news for me if it's slightly larger than 1:35. It will scale better with the Rebor Diplodocus and HLG Apatosaurus (I think the latter is also too big for 1:35?)

Rebor 83-84 cm long that would make 29-29.5 meter animal. Diplodocus Hallorum formerly known as seismosaurus is around 29-33 meters. Diplodocus Carnegii is 24-26 meters

Apatosaurus is also good for 1/35 as T @thomasw100 said.

Brachiosaurus if it's 48×60 cm given lenght is true, would make Sauroposeidon size but fatter probably.

[oscars_dinos]

genuinely impressed, detail on the face looks great and I'm having a hard time picking what color I like best, its funny, I was once super excited for HLG's camara and when it was shown I was disappointed. But with this figure the opposite thing has happened. i deff think I will be getting this one, hopefully the price isn't too bad

With Argentinosaurus, side comparison:











The green (prototype version) reminds me a lot of the Brachiosaurus in Jurassic Park III:

Look, I am confident that the 60 cm length for Brachiosaurus is correct. You can measure this in the picture from the Hong Kong exhibition booth by comparing with Argentinosaurus. We know for sure that Argentinosaurus is 85 cm long, so we can calculate length of Bachiosaurus.

Next, if we know that the 60 cm length of Brachiosaurus is correct there is no way it can be 48 cm high. Again we can measure either the promotional image or the photo from the Hong Kong exhibition and calculate true height. It comes out very close to 38 cm.

Finally, consider the height/length ratio of the three large Haolonggood sauropods, they are 0.59 for Argentinosaurus, 0.65 for Alamosaurus and 0.63 for Brachiosaurus for the 38 cm height. This would be 0.80 for the 48 cm. All three have roughly the same neck angle, so ratio of 0.80 is impossible.

[SenSx]

Yes Brachiosaurus is definitely not 48 cm high, it would be almost at the same height of the Argentinosaurus at 50 cm.

All variant colors look good, the green one is a bit weird because it looks really different one pictures to the other...
