PNSO: New For 2021

[SidB]

Okay, wow very unexpected; however I am in love! Glad I skipped their old Stego....

Also, glad their museum line is still getting attention! I do prefer a juvenile than a base, definitely a step up for PNSO!

Pretty cool how the juvenile is in a bipedal pose. Don't see that too often.

Paleofiguras just mentioned in their post that this will be another crowdfunded item for June.

I asked MTC in AliExpress and they said June as well..

Agreed. PNSO need to continue adding juveniles or minis. Maybe this is a sign that minis could be in development?

That sure would be nice!

im just hoping that PNSO would deviate from their samey brown tone base color. even their marine animal is BROWN.

[ceratopsian]

My plan as well! Too nice to pass up and I love the baby's pose.

This new Stegosaurus set is very nice.They will go nicely with the 2019 model.

My thought too - a small family group.

I am actually glad their Helicoprion is brown since most prehistoric shark figures are blue. However, yes I can see this being a consistent thing with PNSO as they heavily rely on brown tones with a combination of even more dark colors. Probably their most outgoing color scheme had to be their Qianzhousaurus. Ultimately this pushed me away from buying the figure, though.

Anyways....
I am somewhat all for earthy color schemes being used. I don't mind the outlandish color schemes once in a while; however I think PNSO should continue with the colors they are using. I think a large majority of collectors find earth tones to be natural.

[Faelrin]

Even if some of the color schemes are really similar I don't mind them. I think they look great so far in most cases (sure some figures could have better paint detail or more applications but that is a few of the bulk we have so far).

Also anyone else wanting a Ceratosaurus now in scale with these two and the Allosaurus (assuming they are in scale together in the first place? Like they did one of those Morrison formation pics with this pair and the new Allosaurus, and it just had me longing for one (even more now anyways). Granted I would also be down for more animals from that fauna. Will be really cool to get Eofauna's Diplodocus, Safari's Camarasaurus, and whatever else is out there to have on display together with this pair and the Allosaurus.

Well to me the most outgoing color scheme was on the Corythosaurus. I didn't purchase that one while I did buy the Parasaurolophus because I liked the colors of the Para much better.

I actually like the colors of the Qianzhousaurus. I don't think they are unnatural. I do have some issues with that figure, but definitely not with the colors.

[Bread]

@SRF I would say the Corythosaurus is not too outgoing in terms of color scheme as compared to the Qianzhousaurus. I think it mainly has to do with what is considered earth tones and what is not. Still two great figures; however some color schemes I try to avoid adding to my shelf which by the way is blue sadly....

June is right around the corner, hopefully we start to see more in hand pictures of these three beauties (Carcharodontosaurus, Yutyrannus, and Stegosaurus family)!

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

If the Stegosaurus is actually 1:35 and I think it actually is for a change, then it is not to scale with the Allosaurus. And whilst I would like a nice small Ceratosaurus figure to replace the Safari and/or Papo, and the Torvosaurus will presumably be coming soon too, but the animals from the Morrison formation that I really want are Camptosaurus, Ornitholestes, Barosaurus, Hesperornithoides and Mymoorapelta. But I think most of those don't stand a chance of getting made.

Maybe it's a matter of personal taste as well. I don't consider the yellow color of the Corythosaurus to be more of an earth tone than the blue-ish grey color of the Qianzhousaurus. The latter is more grey than blue to me and the brown stripes are definitely an earth tone.

I am excited for June. All three of those models are definitely in the same league as my favorite PNSO figures so far. It's going to be a pricey month.

[suspsy]

I would eagerly snap up a Mymoorapelta from just about any company; I'm pretty sure the number of existing Jurassic ankylosaur toys can be counted on just one hand. And having written the CollectA Camptosaurus review, I would snap up a new toy of that genus as well.

i kinda agree but there's more to earth tones than just brown.

If I'm not mistaken, the Allosaurus could qualify as a 1:35 A. Fragilis? I know the exact species is heavily debated, but since PNSO has confirmed at least to some degree that it is A. Fragilis, it could be that Paul and Bieber are meant to be in scale with each other.

Realistically, two chances, as they say - slim and none.

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

Sadly I agree. I just hope CollectA at least will do a better Camptosaurus, they have been doing nice Onithopods lately, but all have been Iguanodontians.

Unless it's a record size specimen, no. DINO2560, which is an 8 meters animal, gives 1.26, so...

From what I've read the total length of the figure around the curves is 26,5 cm. Based on an 8 meter specimen, that would make the scale 1:30. I always figured an Allosaurus could well be around 9 to 9,5 meters in length, making this model 1:34-1:36 scale.

My Allosaurus should arrive here today. I was planning on doing some measurements myself to figure out the scale, mainly of the skull.

Measuring from the curve is not that reliable. Try measuring it from the skull or from the femur.
