Does anyone know what is the red theropod?

Given the banded tail and the overall Compsognathid form, I'd bet it's Sinosauropteryx.

The big theropod? Maybe it's the giganotosaurus.

Is this not the same figure in a different color?

It sounds like you might not have seen my post on the previous page (Reply #875) in which I commented on how that figure appears to be a Yangchuanosaurus seen with five different colour schemes?

I thought that's what you meant but I wasn't sure. Seemed like a lot of different paint schemes for one figure.

It can't be. That one has a sharper head sculpt and the yangchuanosaurus is more circular/round.

It gives off the carcharodontosaurus vibe to it but not 100% like one idk i know its not a giganotosaurus since that one has the different posture. Idk maybe another theropod, the head is different though

Wait nvm you're right it is a Yangchuanosaurus as you say. Its the same figure i just got thrown off by the upper jaw part

Shonisaurus

Thanks for the clarification Sim, I had not noticed. Apart from my ignorance about paleontology, (I thought it was a giganotosaurus) I recognize that I am obsessed with the PNSO giganotosaurus. Anyway it is even much better news that PNSO has made a Yanchuanosaurus since the only version I have of that creature is the yangchuanosaurus with skeleton, from the Safari brand of the series "Dinosaurs of China".

I'm glad it's a yangchuanosaurus since this theropod figure is very undervalued in the toy market.

avatar_Ceratosaurus @Ceratosaurus, you're right that it's an unusually high number of colour schemes for one figure.  They do all look like the same figure to me though.  I noticed more than one base is shown for these Yangchuanosaurus figures.  These two photos show the figures have a muddy base that also has room for the Chungkingosaurus seen in the photos:




The photo below shows the figure on a rocky base that only has space for it:



Perhaps this could mean the Yangchuanosaurus figure was originally going to be released with one type of base, but then it was changed to the other type?  Or, it was planned to be released both on its own on the rocky base, and in a set with the Chungkingosaurus on the muddy base?  In either of these situations, perhaps two different sets of colour schemes were then created for the Yangchuanosaurus, one set for the figure with the muddy base and the other set for the figure with the rocky base?  I can see how it would be easier to believe there's just more than one figure here, but I can't see any definite differences between them except for colouration.

I've also just looked at some older posts in this thread, and saw posts by acro-man and Flaffy (who I believe can both speak Chinese) in which the two figures on the muddy base are referred to as "Yangchuanosaurus VS Chungkingosaurus" while the figure in the photo below is said to be Yangchuanosaurus:

As it is logical, the figures of finished prototypes of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals of PNSO are millimetric reproductions of the pictorial and paleoartistic work of Zhao Chuang.

Honestly I would prefer that the dinosaurs lacked bases to be honest, but that is within the philosophy of each company that I respect and apart from that their dinosaur bases are authentic works of art.

With a bit of luck, a model of the almost unknown yangchuanosaurus and the scurvy scurvy (at least for me) chungkingosaurus will soon be produced. I sincerely prefer that toy dinosaur companies release in the trade figures of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals unknown or underrepresented.

hmmm... I always thought the Yangchuanosaurus in the cabinet with a smaller base is a maquette/statue and different from the mass produced PVC figure (the one with a bigger base).  'Might be wrong though.

That Microraptor is pretty nice.  But all I really want right now is that Spinosaurus.  It's so good looking.
I'm excited for REBOR's Acro!  Can't ya tell?

If anyone is interested in their given names...
There is a few which were confusing but I am able to confirm from their fb posts.
The only one I am not certain is the Amargasaurus.
Tyrannosaurus Wilson
Triceratops Doyle
Mamenchisaurus Elma
Amargasaurus Lucio (?)
Spinosaurus Essien
Giganotosaurus Lucas
Mosaurus Ron
Yangchuanosaurus David
Chungkingosaurus Bieber

Again, the names are based of the old post. There is a possibility that the names might be changed.

Are this figures 1/35? In the image Doyle and Wilson were 1/35, is the same with the rest of the dinosaurs shown here?

Removing the name for the Yangchuanosaurus.
I misread. It's not David.
It literally means Big Brave, but I am sure that is not the actual english name.

Shonisaurus

If the PNSO mosasaurus is PVC and if they do it at the 1:35 scale, the sea creature is going to be huge. It will be curious to see this figure in promotional photos of the market knowing its huge dinosaurs and prehistoric vinyl animals.
