PNSO dinosaurs

Lol, even Safari never branded improved paint apps as a "remake" unless it was in a new color! But makes sense, bringing the paint back to baseline requires it to essentially be treated as an all new figure.

Today I ordered a new version in their brand store on Aliexpress. when I get it, I will definitely show the photos here.

Looking forward to seeing it!

The only question is the absence of brand markings on the belly of the figure. What do the owners of this figure from other production batches have to say?

[Bread]

@Antey I have batch two and I can confirm the figure has no brand signature.

Your figure seems pretty good. I like the new color modifications it has compared to the old batches, excluding the first batch of course as it is still the superior of the bunch. If I am recalling correctly, all of the old batches like those spots on its top of the head, I really like that addition. Thanks for the photos @Antey

I got my Ankylosaurus From Batch 1 back in 2019 and i can also confirm there are no markings

[need4swede]

Thanks for sharing, @Antey

Seems like Batch 1 still resembles the box art the most. Was hoping this new re-color would, too, but it seems like a different alternative variant of the second batch.

@Antey are you sure you got the new version? I ordered it, but received the old one instead. I know because of the artwork on tha box and the internal artwork as well. I have contacted PNSO and they will refund me

I honestly think @Antey has the newer version. Looking back at my figure (batch 2) and comparing them to not only Antey's but to other members as well, seems like Antey's has quite a few new additions to the paint. Mostly the top of the head with those spots, new to the figure entirely, plus the lack of this grey wash entirely. Also the legs seem to have paint on them more than the grey wash, I've seen a lot of figures that just have an over abundance of the grey wash to the point it hides the color scheme.

Sure. Delivery includes a 64-page booklet and poster. And the figurine itself is lighter and brighter than in the last summer photos.

Here are photos from Aliexpress, which show the difference in the color of the old (left) and new (right) versions.

Thanks for the display, as promised, @Antey , of these two versions, plus the bonus of the others, for comparison purposes. It seems, from your pictures that the new paint job is both brighter and gives better definition to the detailing of the sculpt. To buy or not to buy ... hmmm?

[Antey]

unfortunately I did not hold the previous versions in my hands, but this one is really well worked out. For example, osteoderms are not just tinted gray, contrasting with the tan skin tone. On the osteoderms, color transitions are visible - the base is dark, and the apex is light. It really looks like the picture on the box. And this is quite a delicate work, given the relatively low price of the figurine.

[SidB]

Okay, thanks for taking the time to respond with this clarification - it's appreciated.

Speaking of new color scheme for Sede, what about Lucio the Amargasaurus repaint? Has anyone received one of the new ones yet, I am looking into buying the new color scheme?

Bit late for the discussion as I wasn't watching this thread sorry... here are pics from Chinese forums and store pages:

[BlueKrono]

The Amargasaurus would be vastly improved by an eye-catching color scheme. I was pretty disappointed by how dull mine was, much worse than the pics online.

[Bread]

Thank you @Faras

This color scheme is such an improvement over the old one. The only thing I can nitpick about it is the blue lines on the red portion of the neck. Some may find the missing of the painted nails to be lazy and low quality, but I find it as an improvement as well. I never liked the white painted nails on the previous version. Now, will this be available on amazon or the PNSO official store? Dan's Dinosaurs is the only store who seems to be selling this at the moment, but I rather wait and buy it as a prime item.

[Faras]

@Bread My pleasure 

Hmm new paint is the only option in Chinese stores since July, kinda wonder why they haven't update Amazon and Aliexpress yet... maybe there are old stocks in the U.S. still.

btw since 2020 most buyers in China (me included) got English versions of old Mamenchisaurus, Amargasaurus and Yangchuanosaurus & Chungkingosaurus, bit weird tbh.

[Shonisaurus]

That amargasaurus is a special limited paint version? I say this because I have the triceratops limited paint version from the same PNSO brand and it cost me a fortune over a year ago.

Nay Amargasaurus got a paint revision they replaced old ones with it in Chinese stores around June or July iirc.
