I like that vault on the head of the PNSO figure better but the price difference makes me go for the Haolonggood version. In any case, they are two very good figures. Our friend the camarasaurus can be happy
And I am sure that YOU can be justifiably happy with your decision as well. The HLG one is beautiful! And for most people for whom price is a consideration, I would have no hesitation recommending HLG's pieces. They hit the spot on so many variables!
Of course I am satisfied. And surely other people are with their Camarasaurus figure from Safari LTD, another figure that, although inferior to these two, seems very interesting to me in terms of quality-price ratio
@@DinosDragons they did redeem themselves with the edmontosaurus tho (still wish it was a bit bigger, since i love the idea of a massive edmontosaurus) so i dont see why not
9:45 this comparison really puts into perspective just how MASSIVE that alamosaurus’ neck is, I never really appreciated how bizarre it’s proportions were beforehand.
To be fair, that is just one interpretation, and the one that I prefer. There are other reconstructions where the neck base isn't as thick. But this PNSO style is the one I love the most!
I don't mind having them both, because they represent two different species. And if one wants to have a complete collection, they should definitely buy both of these wonderous figures. So excited for the next review, my dear sir. You are the best. 🖤🖤
Thank you mate! I would say that having two options gives us more choice, and we should just pick and choose which works for us. Price wise, HLG definitely has the edge and I would recommend them for most people! 😁
Another great review but i have a question, your sizes are based on C. Supremus and C.Lentus but you forgot one species thats the oldest species for scale Camarasaurus Grandis. Thank you for another great video
Thank you for your comment! I decided not to talk about more species, as it would make the video really long, especially when I get carried away on sauropods. That's why I decided to just keep it to the largest one, which most people are interested in, and then the most common one, which is what many companies would probably model on. But good on you for raising the point!
0:47 I think that was probably just a discrepancy between the speaker and the editing of the video, although you’ll have to forgive me as I don’t speak the language, so I’m not sure if it was specified otherwise LMAO If you could lmk I’d appreciate it. Wonderful vid tho, thanks for the info!!
@@DinosDragonsHe means when you show the PNSO representative in PNSO 's video, I forget his name right now, is shown discussing the length but then the PNSO video depicts the 20 meter graphic that that might be a mix up between what the presenter is trying to explain and the editor of the PNSO video that represented the horizontal length as 20 m. It's not like the PNSO guy seen speaking in the video actually created the video, someone else is responsible for the graphical depictions.
@@DinosDragons My bad, I’ll try to clarify. The man in the video mentions that the length of the animal is about 20 meters, however I am not sure if he specifies if that measurement is through-centre or horizontal. The graphic may show a horizontal measurement, but unless he specifically stated it to be that, it could’ve been a simple discrepancy between his words and the editor for the PNSO channel. However, I can’t tell for sure as I don’t personally speak the language
@@Stratos.2 Ah I see. I assumed that they would all be on the same page. The man is Zhao Chuang (赵闯), one of the founders of PNSO and the lead sculptor there.
Thank you for posting high quality reviews every time. A version of pnso stegosaurus with improved paint was released, can you compare it to the existing pnso stegosaurus?
Unfortunately, I don't have it. I don't usually buy repaints, especially for something that is more expensive. 😅 I do wish I'd gotten the new paint scheme than the old one though!
Coming back to the comparison between the PNSO and the Haolonggood Camarasaurus, there is one aspect which as far as I know has not been discussed as of yet. Both the PNSO and the Haolongood Camarasaurus have a walking pose. I noticed already on the Haolonggood Alamosaurus and now also on the Camarasaurus that when viewed from the anterior to the posterior, the arms and legs are angled somewhat inward. The PNSO Camarasaurus appears to not shows this, at least not so clearly. But in view of observations from a number of sauropod tracks in the Morrison and elsewhere, sauropods must have angled their arms and legs inward when they walked, because otherwise the hand and foot prints would not be as close to the midline of the tracks as they are found in the fossil record. The Haolonggood sauropod figures capture this feature better than the PNSO Camarasaurus.
Ummm... that would be true only if If _both_ were poses in a normal gait cycle. But the Camarasaurus, especially seen from the front, is clearly not just in a normal walk cycle. In fact I think I mentioned about how dynamic and action packed the pose is. It's more like about to burst into action, or stopping itself, or changing direction. That's why it pairs so nicely with the Wild Safari Camarasaurus, because unlike the HLG with a peaceful stillness, these two are in a more active pose.
Thank you for your kind words! Well it really depends. Without considering price, I would say that PNSO has the most refined paint work. However, their colour palette and patterns are repetitive. Haolongood on the other hand, is a lot more affordable, and they are improving so much and so fast that for most people, I would recommend Haolonggood.
Haolonggood still plagued by making the figure look like a toy. PNSO getting that life-like energy right. Got to wonder if PNSO is testing the water on how well a larger 1:35 scale Sauropod will sell, with this one. I'm already sold. Loving this Sauropod revolution going on! Let's hope for plenty more 1:35 large species in the future.
I sure hope they give us a 1:35 sauropod! But I am afraid that the weight, especially volumetric weight, is going to lead to prohibitive shipping costs. Perhaps seeing what the HLG Argentinosaurus shipping is going to cost will give us a clue!
They are definitely made of some formula of PVC. Therefore, I think that they are produced by standard injection molding using steel molds. You clearly see this from the mold lines (which look look like thin seam lines but they are not seam lines) on the figures. The figures are definitely not produced by 3D printing. Of course I have no way of knowing how the prototypes are created, but I would think they use some sort of digital 3D modeling first and then produce prototypes from the digital model. This would appear plausible because they sometimes show skeletal and subsequent muscular reconstructions, which can only be done layer by layer using digital 3D modeling.
I believe they are at least digitally designed, although conceptually artists sometimes do create rough marquettes as references as well. The other answers give further ideas of what it might be.
@@oscarvaldes5621 their mamenchi definitely has one of their better sauropod head sculpts, i own the apatosaurus and amargasaurus as well but i have no interest in the others
Agreed, I was about to get Haolongood’s Camarasaurus until I saw PNSO’s release. Though I had to get Haolongood’s Alamosaurus since it scales nicely with my other 1/35 contemporaries; PNSO’s Ankylosaurus, Edmontosaurus, Torosaurus, and Eofauna’s Tyrannosaurus Rex. I’ve stopped myself from getting PNSO’s triceratops since it’s based on AMNH 5116 which I feel is likely to be a torosaurus not a triceratops.
I agree that their head sculpts can sometimes look a bit cartoony. I think it's the eyes at times. Still, it's interesting how different people can see the same thing differently! But most important is what you yourself thinks and feels. If you like it, enjoy it. If you don't, save your money 😁
Not sure if that would happen. The annoying this is that PNSO does drop paint quality in subsequent runs, so it's one of those "pay now or pay later" situations well-known to collectors everywhere 😣
@@DinosDragons Do you know the time frame generally between different runs? Is it a few months a year? I assume it depends on the model and how well it sells but just want to get an idea of how quickly I should get it when released.
Considering this is roughly the same size as Haolongood’s apatosaurus… fingers crossed this means a 1/35 scale apatosaurus is down the line for PNSO! I just know they’ll absolutely nail it by giving it the massive neck it deserves. But I’m getting ahead of myself, just having this camarasaurus is a dream come true.
I would hope that, but knowing that PNSO favours the same kind of material, the Apatosaurus is going to be a lot heavier, at the very least volumetrically! So if they do do it, I fear it may be at a shipping price so prohibitive that fewer Western fans will be able to enjoy it.
Why do the face of the PNSO one looks like a Piranha/Sunfish crossover? That is what I don't get. Other than that a lovely pose and colors. The choice is easy, Haolonggood.
@@grandiosa86 It's very hard to say. In terms of the body structure and overall morphology, I prefer the PNSO. But man! When I see that special green on that HLG, there is something that just really draws me to it. I'm completely undecided!
@@DinosDragons Isn't it subjective for all of you? Camarasaurus pnso is an astrodon, too fat and with poorly colored teeth. This is objective. One can hardly argue with this.

PNSO looks like a real animal; HLG struggle to achieve this, in general their models look more like video game designs (especially due to goofy faces, generic pose, excessive dark wash)
I'm not as bothered by dark washes, but I do wonder about their face design sometimes. I thought they were moving away from the eyeball look, which is one reason they might look a bit goofy. The generic pose is useful for some kinds of collectors, and certainly a bit easier to review and photograph if the intention is to compare and contrast with anatomical references.
