Haolonggood - New for 2025

[Turkeysaurus]

I doubt any of these silhouettes will look like final product since they are bunch of photos from internet.

Probably thats why they are much vague compared to 2024 release:

Yes, I asked him. He is a good friend of Elsa. So he gets information from them by first hand. He writes in Spanish and in English. He is a 100% confiable source.
Maybe your critics could be directed to Haolonggood directly, but he has told me in Twitter he would communicate the question/suggestion I asked to them.

First thanks for clarifying this question. My main point was that he runs this account in a style as if he were some official spokesperson for Haolonggood, something that Paleofiguras has also pointed out in a recent post where he suggested that we should rather follow Elsa and the other official Haolonggood accounts. This was my essential criticism that I posted under one of his posts and this he really did not like.

It is Dreadnoughtus!! YESSS!

That render image that looks like the shadow of the large sauropod is from Paleokhris, and it is my favourite depiction of Dreadnoughtus. PLEASE HLG make it with that thick neck please!

If they will release a Dreadnoughtus this would be a bit of a surprise. They have already released 2 large titanosaurs and although Dreadnoughtus is an important titanosaur with quite good fossil material, I would have hoped for more diversity in their sauropod department. But maybe they just ride on the wave of big sauropods sells well for a while, which is perfectly understandable. People asked for large sauropods and titanosaurs and Haolonggood delivers.

Dreadnoughtus after the last Jurassic World figure has became more famous than Alamosaurus, no doubt.

Paleofiguras was a bit "rough" when stating that he was not the official account and that the only official accounts were Lisa and the other in Twitter. I asked him and he answered he was a good friend and that he was in contact with Elsa for news and announcements. He is a very good communicator, too. So he is more than a fan, a friend with reliable information, I'd say.

I have the Rebor Deinosuchus and dire wolf, and I am not crazy about them; I got them because they are interesting taxa. And with the pending end to Rebor (is that confirmed) I have been thinking about purging both from my collection. It would be nice to replace them however, and a Haolonggood Deinosuchus would be spectacular. I don't care how big it is either LOL.

I have beeing going back and forth for years about Rebors two prehistoric crocs. Drama aside, the main thing preventing me from getting them is their scale. Certainly not the advertised(?) 1/35, e.g. and as such would look quite out of place among my other Elhraz fauna.

V @vampiredesign I hope HLG will reference actual Deinosuchus fossil material rather than free-styling it like Rebor did. Namely the osteoderm size, shape and placement. The distinctive skull and paired lower "fangs" are worth noting too. Artwork by Tyler Stone, skeletals by Fadeno.

If it is to be a Dreadnoughtus, then give us the inflated gular sacks you cowards!

[bmathison1972]

...and don't put claws on the hind feet LOL

[Joliezac]

I really love my Rebor Deinosuchus & Sarcosuchus because of their detailing and paintwork. I love the articulated jaw. But I would love to see HLG do an accurate one. That would be fantastic. I probably can't afford another huge sauropod. If the Rex is at the same level of detail as the Triceratops I think I will get it instead of Eofauna's Sue. I'd love a proper 1/35 scale accurate rex.

[SenSx]

Same here, Rebor Deinosuchus did not interest because it was oversized for 1/35.
I'll wait to see HLG proposal, and if I don't like it there is still Paleokris Deinosuchus, what do you think of it ?

If Apatosaurus can have neck nipples , Dreadnoughtus should have neck balls.

It may be the way you are asking the questions...you sound a bit harsh tbh

I am sorry but if this guy always posts in a way that sounds like he is an official spokesperson then this is not honest. And this has also the effect that the official Haolonggood accounts are not really taking off.

Fadeno skeletal gives 14.1 meters for the largest specimen. That would make rebor 1:32 scale. I love any REBOR for same reason paintwork & detailing so good. They might be perfect in terms of accuracy but I think they are good enough.

If you can't get Eofauna's Sue really it's better wait for Haolonggood, PNSO or REBOR. It's pretty good model but you can tell paintwork not on their level.

I agree if T.rex (for me Giga as well) has Triceratops quality then it's a good choice.

For me it's two sauropods and saurolophus for certain. T.rex, Giga, Deinosuchus, Torosaurus i'll wait and compare them to others brands.

I didn't get either of the two big Rebor's - Sarco and Deino, because of the size dicrepency over against 1/35 , but also because of certain inaccuracies which became game changers for me, ones that I just couldn't overlook, though I initially wanted to. For now, I have the valued Safari Sarco and the old Carnegie Safari Deino, but perhaps this projected HLG will change things. I really hope that V @vampiredesign and company will take @Flaffy 's recommendations to heart.

I too hope a Haolonggood Deinosuchus would be accurate, but I hope it doesn't look too much like the first life reconstruction Flaffy posted as it doesn't look good to me there.  It doesn't look like a crocodilian, and are the paired holes of the snout considered natural now?  Mark Witton said they were thought to be due to damage during preparation of the fossil in his blog post on Deinosuchus here: http://markwitton-com.blogspot.com/2016/01/deinosuchus-dalek-backed-alligatoroid.html

Paleofiguras shared pictures of a repainted version of the Concavenator. Very beautiful.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

So much better without all those marks. Maybe I'll get an exclusive version if they list one.

[thomasw100]

Some comments on Paleofiguras have suspected that the smaller sauropod in the teaser image could be Euhelopus. The picture below could be the one in the teaser image:

I did not mean that I would not appreciate a Dreadnoughtus figure from Haolonggood. I will be happy about any sauropod and will also buy any sauropod figure they release. But I would really like to see a diplodocid, any diplodocid, from them. And I would like to see a few more basal sauropods, I mean anything phylogenetically before Neosauropoda. Mamenchisaurus is a great example, but so far it has been the only one.
