Haolonggood - New for 2025

[Turkeysaurus]

Nice head detail.

This better than first blue head pic which makes it even tougher to decide.

That's the issue with their bonus pre-order.

It forces people to rush to choose, while they don't have the proper visuals for that

Haolonggood is great, but they need to improve their promotional photo quality.

Word bros!

I decided to stay with blue. And I still think, that white/green looks more interesting than red/brown to my eyes. It reminds me at the Favorite Spinosaurus I once bought in Tokyo.

That's why I prefer to wait, even if I don't get the bonus, but I understand for people more interested than me in the additional figure.

Haolonggood is great, but they need to improve their promotional photo quality.

It is also a question of price. Like most Haolonggood sauropod figures have considerably increased in price after the pre-order. Like Argentinosaurus is now 230 USD (was 200 USD), Alamosaurus is 120 USD (was 90 USD), and Mamenchisaurus is 100 USD (was 65 USD). Brachiosaurus will probably also go up to 120 USD like Alamosaurus.

But I agree that Haolonggood should produce high-quality in hand photos of their products that are published along with the pre-order. They would not loose anything by doing this.

Those blue pics are awesome thanks !
I just need photos of the red one in the same quality now, although the one we got were alwready good.

I think I prefer the red, it's a good compromise between natural and attractive / striking paint job.
I do own another brown sauropod, and I still wonder if I prefer a different color for that reason, but I think the most important is just to pick the color I like best and trust my feeling.

I always said that Haolonggood colorshemes are food-based (in some models of course)

Lasagna Brachiosaurus...yummy

[Sim]

Oh no, that photo of lasagna makes me want to have the red Brachiosaurus! Although now that I think about it, the last time I had lasagna it burnt my mouth... Seeing it again makes me want to have it again soon though. And I'm not getting a sauropod with an obvious beak.

the problem is they start producing and painting figures after the pre-order, hence the difference

But this practice continues to frustrate and upset people and in the long run will have the effect that less people will pre-order. And this will not be good because Haolonggood uses the pre-order scheme to minimize the economic risks of producing these large sauropod figures. This could in the long run affect the economic feasibility of these figures. If they get too few pre-orders, they may have to cancel a product in the future. Nobody wants this to happen.

Furthermore, it is not exactly correct what you write. They showed demo copies of each of the three paint variants of the Brachiosaurus at the Hong Kong Toy fair. The final product is reasonable close to these. What is the problem if Haolonggood would take high quality pictures of these demo copies and publish them along with the opening of the pre-order?

Lasagna Brachiosaurus...yummy

Now I can't unsee it. LOL 

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I had placed my order for the blue but I'm genuinely considering emailing Lana and asking for a change to red... oh why oh why must this be so difficult??

It's very difficult.  I would go with Blue if I didn't already have a blue Alamosaurus.  I have the green ordered now through Lana and it it's certainly the most bold in design. It will stand out on a shelf.  I do like the red as well though. Maybe that will be the color I go with for their next sauropod?

They really do need to wait til they have production photos to release before orders. It would save alot of trouble.

[Flaffy]

Nice head detail.

Orange ver. is the surprise standout out of these three imo. And that's saying something because the Blue ver. is outstanding. I prefer how the head is executed on the warmer colour scheme, but the cool marbled feel of the other one is simply stunning as well.


Debating between these two. Hopefully we'll see some comparisons of the blue Brachiosaurus and blue Argentinosaurus at some point.

[Rayeknor]

If the leaked Patagotitan is true, how will it look besides a 5% smaller argentinosaurus with a different color scheme? I guess a new headsculpt is pretty much it since most of what we know of the super sized titanosaurs and as such the argentinosaurus figure is known now mainly from the several patagotitan fossils they found bunched up, and I guess the argentinosaurus holotype pelvis is informative as well.

[Turkeysaurus]

I hope it's not patagotitan.

[Concavenator]

I'm not even interested in getting the Brachiosaurus (nor a Brachiosaurus figure, for that matter), but my favorite is the green, followed by the blue and then the lasagna one. The Brachiosaurus looks great IMO, but the mouth region could've certainly been handled better.

R @Rayeknor That is why I would avoid figures of those giant titanosaurs, even more so now that they have 2 in their catalogue. I can't avoid looking at HLG's Argentinosaurus and Alamosaurus, CollectA's Ruyangosaurus and Dreadnoughtus and PNSO's Alamosaurus and think I'm looking at almost literally the same figure, just with different colors (and names, of course).

I'm certain if HLG posted pictures of their Argentinosaurus and Alamosaurus without including any names or measurements, even the most diehard sauropod fan wouldn't be able to tell which species does each figure represent.

Which means...

There is a variety of distinctive sauropods known from better remains that are being overshadowed by these huge clones titanosaurians.

The main thing tempting me towards this Brachiosaurus is...
1) I don't have a true Brachiosaurus in my collection (missed the boat on the Carnegie, still kicking myself for that)
2) I doubt any company in the near future will be brave enough to do a true to scale 1/35 [insert giant sauropod here]
3) $95 is a very reasonable price for such a massive solid PVC figure, something that PNSO definitely cannot match.
4) The last we saw of PNSO's version was years ago, and looks to be reconstructed after Giraffatitan.

I think Eofauna's next dinosaur will be a sauropod, and I also think it's likely gonna be Brachiosaurus. Considering how gorgeous their sauropods have been, if they make a Brachiosaurus it would surely be no exception. A possible downside is it will probably be in 1:40 scale (like their previous sauropods), so that'd make it a bit too small for some people. But I don't doubt that, quality-wise, it'd be excellent. I think they'd handle the mouth area more nicely than HLG did.

[Flaffy]

Even though I love titanosaurs, I agree that we could use a break. Best not oversaturate the market this early.

I reckon it's time to return to the small-medium sized sauropodomorphs though! Plenty of bizarre and unique taxa to work with.

[Sim]

I too would like a break from the titanosaurians.  I don't get making them over and over again when they all look the same.  Meanwhile, Barosaurus really needs a good figure, and I'm surprised there isn't a good figure of Nigersaurus still.
