New Big Brachiosaurus

[BrontoScorpio]

Actually I think I should have posted it at the Identification thread - But it seemed too remote there -
my purpose is to ask for buying recommendations from China and not just to identify something I have ...
So, Does anyone knows about the following Brachiosaurus going on Taobao from china :
- https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=542924764580&spm=2014.21377422.0.0
- https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=528855915631&spm=2014.21170405.0.0

Note : Set your upper left corner for "China mainland" so you'll get many more details on the page.

That's a knock-off of the Horizon JP brachiosaurus.

Hi,
I no longer search on Taobao - since they blocked search option for unregistered users.
And no - I don't know any chinese.
But, I get along with TRANSLATE.
For this item you should search : 超大腕龙模型
meaning: "oversized Brachiosaurus model" -
where each of the 3 words is represented by 2 chinese signs.
Good luck - tell me how it went.

thanks for the tips brontoscorpio!
i have ordered one, really good price with a highly rated seller with lots of reviews. hope to get the item soon

Wasn't sure you could buy on Taobao from an address outside China and moreover that sellers ship Internationally.

Make sure you are covered on that.

Price looks like 60$-70$ but shipping is expected to be high - since figure is quite big.

Wonder what does it look like in real - send over some photos when it arrives.

i only recently found out that many people from my country have ordered directly from taobao and received their items safely.
but on taobao everything is so cheap. of course most are counterfeit things but in this case that doesnt matter to me haha.
a real pain though, having to order everything bia google translate.
will update if it arrives safely

the figure has arrived. pretty much a copy of the horizon brach but made from a somewhat sturdier material, similar to the pnso huanghetitan.
paint job is meh but i cant complain because the pricing is really good for a huge figure. the original kit today is 10 times more expensive!

after this i will definitely buy from taobao again. tracking info updated quite often and arrived in just over a week.

It looks immense this brachiosaurus Papo brachiosaurus compared to this figure is a miniature.

yes definitely a beast. it outsizes the playskool ultrasaurus by a huge margin

[BrontoScorpio]

I see it arrived !
The neck seems to be a bit too long in proportion.
I wonder How tall is the figure ? ( measuring from the top of the head straight down ).
I have the 'Tsukuda Hobby' - the Height is 78.5 cm

[Ikessauro]

Is this available at Aliexpress by any chance?

it is about 65.5cm tall.
about the neck, im going to label this piece as a sauroposeidon haha.

you have any photos of your tsukuda hobby giant?

At risk of stating the obvious - that is one seriously sizeable Sauropod!! I shudder to think what the shipping must have been on that critter. Anything that can look down on the PNSO Titan really is in a league of its own. Thanks for the images.

i was really surprised at the price of this figure. it only costs around 30 usd.
and the shipping in total only 26 usd (i dont live in china so thats international shipping there) so at first i was gambling and knew i was taking a risk with everything being so cheap on taobao.
but seeing how well everything went i will definitely buy again from the website

I am wondering how do you pay on Tabao, as a foreigner?

I am wondering how do you pay on Tabao, as a foreigner?

for most countries other than china, taobao doesnt really allow to buy or to post to.
but for a select few countries like singapore and malaysia, taobao makes it easier and possible to purchase from them.
im from malaysia and taobao does have a link to pay via malaysian online banking systems with a small fee. other than that i was also given the option to pay via credit card
