PNSO New for 2025

[Trenchcoated Rebbachisaur]

The Safari Carnotaurus being too bulky is a hell of a funny take, but I guess to be fair, if you're used to the skinny Theropods from the era I can see the gut reaction.

I kinda grew up (well, from at least my teens onwards) mostly with post-"All yesterdays" paleoart (specifically with people who were building on the good and quick to point out the bad when it came to speculation), so I probably have a pretty unique perspective on what dinosaurs should look like?
Hard to put into words, but best I can describe it is "if I forgot all my dinosaur knowledge and saw it standing around next to the visitors path in a zoo, would my reaction be 'oh, an animal I didn't know existed escaped' or 'oh, guess they have animatronics here'". 'Does this look biomechanically and ecologically feasible', I guess?
Lipless Theropods still fall within that treshold if they have no other issues, for example.

@Gwangi I think I was one of the exception back then. I loved it (Safari Carno) from the start. Many were making an issue of its legs when we don't even have the bottom half of them. Also missing most of the tail. As far as the pre-2021 skin reconstruction goes I dare say the 2019 Safari one is the best, with perhaps the Battat and Carnegie as classic alternatives. I also love the coloration on it.

Carnotaurus is one of my favorite dinosaurs (like top 5 easily). Even then I only have a few on hand, so I'm far from being against another. Same with Yutyrannus that is strangely neglected on the market. Several are from Japan only retailers (several were museum or event exclusives), two are wip/not yet released (from companies that did them before).

I like the CollectA and Carnegie Carnotaurus toys the best.

[Patrx]

I'm actually pretty happy with the Wild Safari and CollectA Carnotaurus, but certainly wouldn't be opposed to seeing PNSO take another swing at it! I think I'd be more interested to see their take on some kinda coelurosaur. Maybe a large-scale Sinosauropteryx?

[Flaffy]

Definitely feeling a new Carnotaurus based on the integument paper.

I would love that but I feel like we would make a majungasaurus first

[Sim]

I'd prefer an abelisaurid that lacks a good figure were made, Abelisaurus most of all.

[suspsy]

I think Rajasaurus would be a perfect candidate.

[Patrx]

This is a good point! Bit odd that the original abelisaurid doesn't have any good figures out there.

[Faelrin]

It would be good if they redid Carnotaurus and then did a bunch of others like Abelisaurus, Aucasaurus, Ekrixinatosaurus, Majungasaurus, Skorpiovenator, Rajasaurus, and Rugops (though hopefully variety in between). Maybe a new Ceratosaurus too while we're at it. Kind of the only large enough theropods they've not really done anything with (other then Carnotaurus and the huge Ceratosaurus).

Wonder when they'll do the next reveal. Been about a month now? Past three releases were all ceratopsians (and all from the same formation I think), so hopefully something new.

[suspsy]

The Stellasaurus was revealed on March 23, so it does feel like we are due. Perhaps tomorrow something will drop.

[Trenchcoated Rebbachisaur]

Stellasaurus is from a different formation (Judith River vs Two Medicine) but huh, yeah. Zuul was also found in Judith River so there's been an odd amount of animals from there, lately. Also Furcatoceratops of CollectA fame. Gorgosaurus and Daspletosaurus were also from here and have been made recently ish, so maybe they're doing this on purpose?
In which case.
Other Judith River animals which make sense for PNSO scale-wise (based on past releases, assuming they don't bring the minis back (pls pretty pls)) are Deinosuchus, "Monoclonius", Medusaceratops, Mercuriceratops, Judiceratops, Furcatoceratops, "Ceratops", "Dysganus", "Deinodon", Corythosaurus sp., Brachylophosaurus, and Probrachylophosaurus.

And you know what, have a list of the various Ceratopsians that PNSO or Haolonggood hasn't made yet (assuming that PNSO will avoid obscure genera if a HLG version exist, which, we technically do not know for sure) with a quick descriptor to jog your memory. Skipping the too fragmentary ones, in case you're wondering why Dysganus doesn't reappear.

Styracosaurus/Pachyrhinosaurus cluster:
"Rubeosaurus" (Styracosaurus synonym, slightly different horn arrangement)
Einiosaurus (Hooknose boss)
Achelousaurus (Pachyrhinosaurus with smaller boss and Gemsbok frillhorns)
Pachyrhinosaurus' unloved other species (Pachyrhinosaurus but more slender)
"Coronosaurus" (Centrosaurus with short long horns, whoops. Long straight horn compared to the Centrosaurus figure PNSO already has.)

Sinoceratops cluster:
Medusaceratops ("Why the long face", pronounced beakhooks that remind me of anime fangs)
Albertaceratops (Basically Medusaceratops again but slightly different)
Wendiceratops (Square boss instead of horn, would actually be pretty cool I'd say)

Menefeeceratops cluster (I swear I am not making these up):
Menefeeceratops ("Bulkier Avaceratops", just barely within PNSO size qualification seemingly)
Yehuecauhceratops (Menefeeceratops but bulldog)
Crittendenceratops ("Slightly bulkier Menefeeceratops", if any member of this group gets a figure this is prolly the one)

Triceratops cluster:
"Nedoceratops" (Trike missing a nasal horn)
"Eotriceratops" (Goofy looking Triceratops)
Titanoceratops? (Pentaceratops-flavoured Triceratopsini, might actually be a Triceratops-flavoured Pentaceratops)
Ojoceratops (Triceratops but the frill is slightly more square)
Arrhinoceratops (Square Frill and either a shallow noseboss or a really small horn)
Regaliceratops (Small Triceratops with a really unique frill with rounded bumps, you've probably heard of it before)
Anchiceratops (Weird long neck, Long brow horns, small square frayed frill. Really unique actually, kinda want this one now)

Pentaceratops/Chasmosaurus Cluster
Coahuilaceratops (The most generic Ceratopsian. If you asked an AI to draw the average Ceratopsian this is what it would spit out. End of the frill is unknown, so that might redeem it in the future.)
Sierraceratops (Coahuilaceratops with a smoother and square-er frill. Retroactively making me appreciate the other for having Triceratops-esque bumps on the frill, at least.)
Agujaceratops (Stupid huge browhorns, fit to impale an offbrand Megaraptoran. Seems to have a funky curved frill, but that might just be a paleomeme)
Vagaceratops (Diet Kosmoceratops - Safari has a good one)
Chasmosaurus russeli (Beeg Browhorns. Slightly different frill.)

Other
"Ceratops" (Basically just the corner of a frill, with two spikes. Got elevated over the other superfragmentary taxa since there's at least a sliver of something to work with here.)
Udanoceratops ("Psittacosaurus" on steroids. Really weird huge head. The only Basal Ceratopsian that just barely works size-wise.)

[Turkeysaurus]

PNSO is still a few years in front of Haolonggood and the rest in terms of artistry if not for accuracy.  Majority of 2021 models are at same or better level than 2025 Haolonggood in terms of fine detail and paintjob. (possibly accuracy too) That's crazy. 2020 PNSO models are showing their age a bit, especially in some models including Corythosaurus and Lambeosaurus.

[Sim]

I wouldn't list invalid genera such as Ceratops and Deinodon as being present in an ecosystem. Also ones that aren't present (Albertaceratops).

Centrosaurus brinkmani is actually like Centrosaurus apertus but with longer horns above its eyes and on its frill. It also has the unique crown-like ornamentation on the top of its frill that is so unique I wonder why NO-ONE has made a figure of it!

You listed Anchiceratops twice. Did you mean Arrhinoceratops for one?

Also Chasmosaurus russelli and Chasmosaurus perifania are missing.

Fair on the ecosystem thing. With Albertaceratops, I feel like there's a chance we might find a similar-ish animal sooner or later, and well, Sinopliosaurus; so I decided to leave them there.

Oh whoops    Somehow missed that the horn was actually broken off. Fixed that and Arrhinoceratops (though, in my defense, if Arrhinoceratops wanted to have its name remembered, it should have been more memorable).

Chasmosaurus perifania seems to be a synonym of Chasmosaurus russeli, but I added C.russeli. I also added Sierraceratops, which I had somehow missed entirely. Oops.

Edit: Oh my god I mixed up ANOTHER set of Ceratopsians. Thought Albertaceratops was Montanaceratops (somehow). We do in fact have a similar-ish animal, it's Medusaceratops, right there ._.
...In my defense, I would not be awake right now if I didn't suffer from insomnia.

looks like pnso is having a sale on there amazon, but the two most recent figures are charging for shipping regardless if you have prime (usually I never pay for shipping since it covers that) is anyone on the same boat as I am hoping that they'll change that? I feel like they are just doing that since they are new figures

I have also being waiting for them to be available with free shipping. Not sure if this is true but I kinda have a hunch it could be because of the tariffs. These are the only figures that have been released after all of that stuff has gone down

Interesting update... when you look at the figures that don't offer free shipping there's an option that says "Available with free prime shipping from other sellers on amazon" I thought it was kind of suspicious but I looked and it maybe seems like its just another branch of pnso or something? I don't know but it had a high rating and it's all on amazon so it should be fine. Only thing is the shipping is gonna take a long time but I can wait.

I know Ceratopsians are extremely popular, even moreso these days (modern palaeontologists and paleo enthusiasts seem to heavily favour Ceratopsians & Ankylosaurs over other groups) but I'd much rather the next figure wasn't a Ceratopsian.

I've made my wishes for a fully lipped Tyrannosaurus known, but more sauropods, 'prosauropods' (yes, I know they're not really called that) and some ornithopods would be very nice to have!

[Turkeysaurus]

They certainly should not have back to back to back to back ceratopsian.   

[SenSx]

Yea I definitely had enought Ceratopsians from PNSO  n
I want that lipped T-rex, new Mosasaurus, Gigantoraptor and prosauropods indeed like Pleatosaurus or Igentia Prima.

All of those would be amazing!

Camptosaurus too 👀
