PNSO—New for 2020

[KeU]

Honestly, the Corythosaurus is starting to grow on me more and more as I continue to come back to this thread. If anyone is able to make some more comparisons with other figures from PNSO, besides the Lambeosaurus, that would be great.
Glad to see PNSO releasing more, but my wallet isn't.

Found this on FB.

The skin details are really lovely on the Corythosaurus.

[Mattyonyx]

Oh no. I'm already poor. Nooo

EDIT: The Hadros may not be 100% Accurate, but they are damn near. I really won't complain. Also they look lifelike and and dynamic, but not Papo-dynamic. I am just really happy for all these new Figures from PNSO. At a really really good Price. Toy Pricing, but alot of Figure and looks someone gets for the price. I love it.

What is accuracy? Changes alot. Moreover i would consider something accurate, that is quite close to it. I would consider something inaccurate, when its noticable off. I got calmer in Terms of Nitpicking. The Figures of most Companies, that care about the science, get better every year. And i am thankful, as a consumer of these plasticfigures.

I totall agree. Nitpicking is very useful when you want to learn something more about the animals, then it's a matter of taste. I feel a company like PNSO is needed and if nitpicking makes it sell less figures it's a loss for us collectors, because the main reason behind the success of JP/JW inspired companies is the support of the movies' fanbase, many of which buy almost everything at any price.

As someone who prefers accurate representations seeing Life-like figures for an affordable price is getting harder, not only because of the aforementioned competitors, but also because it seems easier to find reason not to buy them.

I'm not saying we shouldn't poin't out inaccuracies, it's just that sometimes it feels more like a public humiliation...

Between the huge head and that size I have to say no to that Corythosaurus, shame, cause it is such a well made figure.

[Volgadraco]

As someone who is trying to make a somewhat scientifically accurate collection, I find it too very difficult to find 90%-100% accurate figures, which are done beautifully  and aren't pricey at the same time. I have already ordered Lambeosaurus and stegosaur and now thinking whether to buy Corythosaurus or not.  It seem to be nice done figure that can be acquired by low costs for now on the other hand its inaccuracies are pretty obvious so for me it's difficult to make a decision.

[Shonisaurus]

How big is the PNSO corythosaurus? Compared to the tyrannosaurus Wilson it is of considerable size. That is one of the reasons why it is worth more on the market than lambeosaurus and tuojiangosaurus. PNSO and Zhao Chuang are going to make gold at the expense of clients like me and other DTF members.

[KeU]

Perhaps it would be more accurate as a Magnapaulia.

[Loon]

Is it impossible for this just to be an individual with a large head? Or am I just grasping at straws?

[Bread]

@KeU Thank you for the comparison shots!

After seeing this in hand as well, the head does not look as big as I thought, as well as with other figures. If the figure is standing alone, I would be able to spot that the head is too large for the body.

[Patrx]

Wow, the Lambeosaurus may have been a bit of a miss but I really dig the looks of that nodosaur.

[John]

The Lambeosaurus is the best hadrosaur to come out since those of Battat in 1997.
It has the potential to be the best dinosaur to come out this year from any company so far.

[Patrx]

Oh, wait, I got 'em mixed up and actually meant to describe the Corythosaurus as "a bit of a miss". The Lambeo looks much better to me!

[Shonisaurus]

I have the impression that both the lambeosaurus and the borealopelta (although more explanatory photographs are not yet revealed) are going to be the best PNSO figures of this year.

[John]

It is a bit odd that they could get the proportions of Lambeosaurus spot on but not Corythosaurus... And I was not aware the Borealopelta would be in this mid range line.That's good to know.

I don't think animal body proportions usually vary that much, unless through ontogeny. When's the last time you saw a horse or komodo dragon with a head 20% larger than usual on a normal sized body?

Meh, the Nanmu Apatosaurus, although a gorgeous figure, has a head that's four times the size it should be in 1/35th scale.
With Sauropods this is really of putting, but I don't really mind it on the Hadrosaurs.

You're oversimplifying it a lot. The head is in scale with the forelimbs, but too large relative to the torso, which in turn is too large relative to the back legs. I would say the head is probably the least egregious part, given how much of its overall dimensions are inherently variable with the keratinous crest and beak. The tiny hindlimbs and vertically compressed torso are the bigger offenders I'd say.

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

Honestly the slightly too large head doesn't bother me. The dearth of good Hadrosaur toys means this is still one of the best and I plan to give one PNSO Corythosaurus a place in my home.

Between tithe two Hadrosaurs, my favourite Stegosaur, and now these, I think we are being spoiled by them. Still cant decide whether to wait for Everything Dinosaur pr not though

Same. PNSO has always taken some liberty with proportions, but usually in minor enough ways that I'm able to look past it.

[ceratopsian]

This is also my view.  Plus when all is said and done, it's a $20 toy and not a $300 model.

@ceratopsian Completely agree with you.

Honestly the figures of PNSO are fabulous and more this year. I think we demand too much from a brand of toy dinosaurs. If we want complete perfection in a corythosaurus, lambeosaurus, borealopelta, atopentatus or tuojiangosaurus, we can only find it in a collectible figure intended for the adult public and those figures are the resin figures whose figures are the utmost perfection, but obviously they are made of a noble and extremely expensive material.

In my case, I think I'm very badly used to dinosaur figures from PNSO or other brands. I do not think we can demand extremely much for a figure of 20 euros / dollars. The PNSO figures like those of other toy dinosaur brands are worthy of both the adult audience and the child audience. I think that we demand a lot and we are not being fair not only with PNSO but with the rest of the toy dinosaur brands that fortunately exist in the market. We must, of course, make objective and constructive criticisms of the different toy dinosaur figures as we are doing in the DTF in order to encourage and encourage collecting companies to improve the new figures year after year, something that in most of dinosaur brands like PNSO are doing it all the more when PNSO is an outstanding brand modeled and their figures advised by one of the best Asian paleoartists of the moment Zhao Chuang.
