PNSO New for 2025

[Sim]

It's a good choice, but it doesn't interest me.  I was really hoping for a Nothosaurus or Anshunsaurus to be made next, or a plesiosauroid.  I don't understand why PNSO has made so many ichthyosaurs but no plesiosauroid.

Like the recent series of aquatic reptiles by Animal Heavenly Body, these recent few from PNSO seem to be based on fossils found in Guizhou and Yunnan and highlighted at the Geological Museum of Guizhou--so no mosasaurs or plesiosauroids. Maybe a pistosaur? But who knows, PNSO might change gears again any second. I'm going to enjoy this uncharacteristic focus on the Triassic as long as it lasts!

I figured there was a method to their madness beyond just making marine reptiles.

I will not stand for the plesiosaur over ichthyosaur libel on this forum!
In all seriousness though, this is awesome. I'm both an ichthyosaur and Triassic superfan, so this is near perfect for me.

Of course they release a second icthyosaur that I like even more than Youran right after I get him. Oh well - I won't complain about more nice marine reptiles.

I'm really digging this marine reptile streak that PNSO is on. 

Me too. When I started expanding my collection into dinosaurs (sensu lato lol), marine reptiles were a group I initially ignored. I am enjoying these new releases to give me the opportunity to get some new and interesting taxa!

Same. Marine reptiles are one of the weakest aspects of my collection and I've been slowly trying to fix that. Pterosaurs too but nobody likes making pterosaurs and I really only buy ones that are in resting poses. 

I have the same philosophy for pterosaurs (resting, or if in flight mounted on a base, like the recent Favorite Dimorphodon). Unfortunately the recent CollectA ones are all too big for me. I think I may only have like four pterosaurs at the moment

I know right? It's almost a crime that PNSO hasn't given us a single full sized pterosaur. I've said it before but it seems like such a missed opportunity. A walking quetz or hatz would be perfect and it would probably sell very nicely. Maybe their Chinese constituents only care about Chinese  dinosaurs?

That's why I ended up paying a few hundred dollars for a Musee studio quetzalcoatlus

I don't want to take the topic too far off track but I am clamoring for a standing/resting Quetzy. After the recent blog review of the TNG model by @suspy I am considering that one.

Yuanlin the Guanlingsaurus

Another marine reptile and another Triassic species!

Oooh I like that it's very visually distinct compared to the Himalayasaurus.
