PNSO dinosaurs

[sauroid]

but it would be great if they were the same scale as most of our figures tho

I just put an order in with Monster House HK for the Lufengosaurus. Unfortunately, they are sold out on all of the PNSO dinosaurs except for the Lufengosaurus and Huanghetitan. And, due to shipping costs, they are not restocking them. This means I have to find another source for the Mandschurosaurus. Also, what is the exact scale of the Huanghetitan? Isn't it around 30 meters long which makes it around 150 cm long in 1/20 scale?

Really? That's odd since they just relisted the Euhelopus ?

If I had to choose one to get it be the Huanghetitan...but 210.00 is really steep based on the original cost.

if only PNSO figures were  1:40 scale then there would be minimal to no shipping issue/s. why did they have to make them so huge??? (i really dont get why they have to be that big when they can be as impressive at 1:40-1:35)

The five herbivores are made from sculpts that were originally just intended for display in an exhibit and not for sale, I think that has to do with it.

I only ordered through their Facebook page. I guess I didn't check out their eBay site. The sauropods are impressive, but I want to make absolutely sure they are around 1/20 scale.

Well, they are not.  The big Huyangosaur is 1/30 scale, and the rearing Eulohepus is either 1/30 for a small animal, or 1/40 if you want it to be Diplodocus-sized next to your Battats.  The Huyangosaurus looks like an extra-large Argentinosaurus next to the Battats, for example.

1/20 scale would be impossibly huge - think of the Horizon or Kaiyodo Brachiosaurs.  Models that big could not be practically sold except as unassembled model kits ...

Thank you Simon. You answered my question. I won't be getting the sauropods since they are not truly 1/20. However, I did get the Lufengosaurus even though it is bigger than 1/20. It will just be an outsized member of the species. Still, I'm glad that large-scale vinyl dinos are making a comeback.

Can someone give me a list of how heavy each of the PNSO figures are? Thanks

I got my Huanghetitan and it's really beautiful . Thanks for your help again, Simon!
Measured along the spine it is 81 cm long. It's not exactly known how long Huanghetitan was.
The model is in 1:30 for a specimen of 24 m; 1:35 for a specimen of 28 m or 1:40 for a specimen of 32 m.

Huanghetitan = 900 gr.  /  gr. = grams (  Metric System )
Shantungosaurus = 250 gr.
Mandschurosaurus = 200 gr.

They are quite light for their big size (vinyl)...

Thanks Robin! Sorry for the confusion before about deinonychus and dromeosaurus, I hope you understand.

Hello! where can I order these models in Europe?

I'm afraid there is no other option than Monsterhouse HK. Only two models left in stock.

If you have a facebook account you can contact them directly. They use to take USD 90 + shipping for the Huanghetitan this way.

I received last friday the Huanghetitan from PNSO. I bougth with Samson Dino, from Monster House, via Facebook. Seller is ok,very professional and polite, I can say that we became friends. Well, this is a masterpiece for sauropods lovers, it's a huge model and it fit's very well in my collection, despite this is not the bigger one here. Simply a must have for those who appreciate details. I don't know how to upload a photo...

Thank you, docronnie!

I have a friend who knows Chinese and he helped me buy Huanghetitan from taobao.com.  I had to register at taobao and register my credit card info so the process was pretty involved.  The Huanghetitan cost $50 and shipping was about $30 (shipping to the US).

After placing the order, I tried to monitor my order at taobao.com.  I was using google chrome and figured out that if I right-click on the web page, chrome gives you an option to translate the chinese to english.  Using this translation, I was able to navigate the taobao site and monitor the order by myself.  I think that if I had known this from the beginning, I might have been able to place the order by myself.

For those of you still thinking about buying some PNSO models, you might want to try using chrome's translate option on the taobao web site.  If successful, it will save you a lot of money versus ebay/facebook.

The model is in 1:30 for a specimen of 24 m; 1:35 for a specimen of 28 m or 1:40 for a specimen of 32 m.

I have been wondering about this figure's scale lately. Since the genus is known from rather fragmentary remains, perhaps it would be best to scale using known elements? I'll have to get some sacral or rib measurements when I get a chance...

Just saw this on ebay - PNSO baby dinos.
