255: PNSO Albertosaurus (Wally 2023) Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 лип 2023
- Well, another tyrannosaurid from PNSO as expected, but what a choice! This is Albertosaurus, the namesake of the albertosaurine clade, and one that I have wanted for a very long time. And here PNSO gives it to us.
This is a special model, adding a very important member to the entire tyrannosaur line, and the level of sculpting quality of course, honours that. What’s even more special is the pose. This is one dynamic running pose that is really cool to look at, and even more, capable of self standing without external support. Of course, you need the stand longterm, but just being able to manage it is a shock.
The characteristic proportions are there, with perhaps a tiny question about the head, but in general this is Albertosaurus as I imagine it, and I’m happy to add to the family!

You do such an incredibly wonderful job with these reviews. I just got my first two PNSO figures thanks to your reviews. They're going to be stars this coming Dinosaur December!
Hi clint i love your video's. I am also looking for good PNSO models through these reviews. It will be very fun to see which dinosaurs you picked when Dinosaur December starts.
Clint u like pnso models? Why not review some on the channel aswell might be fun.very cool definetely
@ClintsReptiles
Wow Clint thanks for dropping in! I'm glad that you've dipped your toes into PNSO... but be warned... it's a slippery slope! You could do some reviews on your own too! With your credentials I have no doubt we could all learn a thing or five from your reviews! 😍
The skull seems to be based on TMP 1981, especially the cast of the skull that was made. Great review!
Thanks for the info! 😁
One of my fav dinosaurs as a Canadian. In grade one, I had a friend that also loved dinos as much as me, he moved to Alberta, but we stayed friends as pen pals. We mostly just sent each other pictures we drew of dinosaurs and I sent him a huge drawing I did from fossils of Albertasaurus and have loved Albertasaurus ever since.
Wow I love that! We have lost much of the simpler forms of human connection we used to enjoy before the Internet took over. At least you have a very good memory and even sweeter is that it's connected to something you love, and have loved over the years! 😁😁
A+ on the pose! It's fantastic that they were able to capture something relatively dynamic without compromising the proportions.
That's for sure! And a bit of clever calculation on PNSO's part I have no doubt! Wait till you see the Gorgosaurus. Can't wait to hear what you think of _that_ pose! 😁
Sheesh, thank god pnso made the Albertosaurus, I been waiting sence 2021...
Your review is actually goated, you put a lot of detail in this 10+ minutes 👍🏻
Wow thanks for your comment! I mean, the albertosaurines are something I've looked forward to forever! And now we have them! 😍
Excellent review as always,...I think is the best Albertosaurus ever made in the market, ....I love the pose ,It´s very dynamic and natural, getting this one for sure
Considering it's the only modern one I have (excluding the Carnegie one I seem to have misplaced) I certainly consider myself lucky to cut my teeth on this!
Wally definitely won the "Mr. Legs" contest back in the days.
Well he sure is one unusual guy who skips arm day, not leg day! 😁
Wally is so awesome, can't wait for the next tyrannosauroid, overall yet another amazing review on some more amazing PNSO figures
Hope y'all have a good day
Thank you! As you may have seen by now, the next one was Gorgosaurus, an equally amazing tyrannosaurid!
Absolutey beautiful sculpture. The movement in it is just breathtaking. The pads on the foot are genius. It's a true beauty. X
Tell me about it. PNSO is still the master when it comes to sculpting!
ah finally!!!! Ive been waiting for this review. Very nice
Hopefully it was worth it! 😁
@@DinosDragons definitely, i was deciding which two models i would buy. Eventually i decided on the lythonax and the zuchentyrannus. Now im just waiting on the gorgosaurus :).
aw the promo images looked so good with the green paint it would have looked so perfect on the real product
Exactly! I love green. Check out the PNSO Zhuchengtyrannus for what's possible!
Still giving the tyrannosaurids a humdrum “everyone got the same memo on brown striped shirt day” paint scheme, BUT! This is an Albertosaurus I’ve been waiting for. The sculpt and pose come together giving us a really exciting figure. This is a must have. Thanks for another great review.
But, please let PNSO that it’s really okay to do sauropods again.
I won’t get upset or anything….
really.
1/35 please….
😃
Lol I like that! Yes they all had the same memo, but as you can see there will always be a rebel or two trying to get away with variations on the official theme. Have a look at the Gorgosaurus release images and tell me what you think! 😁
Man, at this point I don't care if PNSO doesn't give us sauropods... just give us *anything else besides theropods* please!! In 1:35!
@@DinosDragons Yes! I’ve seen the Gorgosaurus images and, actually, the paint scheme they appear to be going with is very attractive in its differentiation of blending and stripe angling. And, as is usually the case, the sculpt looks pretty good. If I find the right brown striped Hawaiian shirt, I might have to buy it to blend in with my theropod collection in case of emergencies…
I think I do prefer the Safari Ltd model over this one, for two reasons. The brighter coloration is just more appealing to me, then the drab coloration on PNSO's figure (striping aside), and the Safari Ltd one also has lips, which is in line with the recent paper in favor of tyrannosaurs having them. I think if the green was brighter, it would give it a better shelf presence, due to its smaller size. That said the PNSO figure has a more interesting pose, not often seen on theropod figures, and a bit more display options with the articulated jaw, and of course sharper detail compared to Safari Ltd's (that's because of child safety measures blunting certain aspects of it). The Safari Ltd one though is also cheaper. In any case I always appreciate your thorough reviews on these figures, including aspects of the anatomy, etc. I am hoping they do Gorgosaurus as well, and then hopefully something different after that.
I also noticed that all of PNSO's models are seemingly unavailable on their Amazon store at the moment. At least Aliexpress is still an option, if not other retailers, but I wonder why?
I'm glad to see an example of different strokes for different folks being played out here! 😁 I really disliked the paint scheme of the Safari, thinking that would be appropriate for a much smaller lizard/ gecko type creature, or perhaps an amphibian, but not a large size predator. Lips are of course a big plus. I do think PNSO could make their teeth a little shorter to avoid the 'slippage look'.
By now you've seen the Gorgosaurus, and I think we can agree that what PNSO lacks in colour palette they make up for in almost everything else.
Can't say I know anything about the online options however. I obviously get them straight from PNSO or a Chinese supplier I know. I do think however that it will not be long before they restock their Amazon store! They know not to pass up an opportunity with an important market! 😁
Im very happy PNSO made Albertosaurus! I really like this figure and I ordered two making it a couple haha. So then I will have 4 models. These PNSO ones, Safari Ltd and one Resin model by AOKHAN. The propotions are perfect as the pose too and I really like the face of it too! (Maybe I am biased) Awesome review!
So I'm _guessing_ ... and this is a *Wild guess with no basis whatsoever* , that you're _somewhat_ fond of the Allosaurus... 🤔🤔
@@DinosDragons you mean fond of Albertosaurus? If so yeah I might be a bit fond of Albertosaurus 🤣
So nice
I have collected nearly all PNSO dinosaur after watching your review... this one is on the way 😊.
Best review.. good knowledge in scientific manner and a valuable dose in dinosaur anatomy and history.
😊
Haha I hope I didn't cost you _too_ much money! I am sure you will be spending on the Gorgosaurus too! 🤣🤣
@@DinosDragons yes.. look of Gorgosaurus is awesome. Going buy.. as soon as possible. Yes, it cost a bit, but it’s a part of hobby and happiness is cost less.
Beautiful figure, awesome video. How do you manage to receive these figures so fast?
Being Chinese helps! 😉 I know of a collector who's even better off... he lives almost literally to PNSO's issuing warehouse! 🤣🤣
I love dynamic pose, i think PNSO's best work in that regard for their therapods. It's such a shame the paint job is so uninspiring.
Yes! If only it had more of the green in the release image, it would have been perfect for me!
Albertosaurus est estimé de 9 à 10,1 m de longueur donc il est à l’échelle 1/33 à 1/37
nice
Looking forward to the gorgosaurus. Love repainting the pnso figures. Hoping the gorgo and this guy are visually similar, wanting a male+female pair
You've seen it by now I'm sure. I love these two together! 😁
While the head is a little off, lacks lips, and the tail being too thin this figure is still excellent. Specifically the highly dynamic pose is incredible, and I could very well see many (myself included) getting it just to see this exquisite display. Overall another quality release from PNSO, with minor nitpicks that should be easy to correct with some modelling putty.
Sad to say, a skill I have ZERO ability in 🤣 I regret not getting into modelling as a kid. Would have helped me create the _perfect_ models with exactly the right paint or sculpt mods!
Sin lugar a dudas, además de lo bien trabajada que está la piel del animal, que en mi opinión ha sido la gran mejora que han efectuado en PNSO con sus últimos productos, el punto importante es la estabilidad. Apenas tiene base de sustentación y, pese a ello, se mantiene muy bien y le da una elegancia muy superior. Ya como detalle "criticable" es la sensación de un cráneo más alargado de lo esperado. Similar a lo que se hizo con Torvosaurus anteriormente. Sin embargo, es una gran figura. Uno más para la familia 👏🏼
¡Gracias por tu conocimiento! En realidad, no sé mucho sobre terópodos. ¡Excepto el Tyrannosaurus, con el que estoy muy familiarizado!
Como dices, la estabilidad de esto es asombrosa. Y HLG utiliza material más duro para las piernas. Por lo tanto, es menos probable que se deformen con el calor.
now this model is truly magnificent and its a perfect restoration, definitely getting this one
the head of albertosaurus indeed has such low snout, you can see that in some more recent albertosaurus skull restorations like Liam Power
but i gotta say i love how they added extra keratin layer resulting in these taller bumps on the snout, it really gives character to it making it look like a specific individual i also love the pose because its very dynamic but not ridiculous either and for the color although it is similar to what we have seen in the past there are still slight differences so as always i consider it convergent evolution similar but not perfect copy of other species occupying same environment
for the future releases we will get another one tyrannosaurid, there was a leaked photo long time ago showing the mold of this albertosaurus next to a suspicious yellow mold that nobody was able to guess what it was it had similar size to the albertosaurus so im excited for that one, i hope its a very underrepresented species like thanatotheristes or teratophoneus
It's a Gorgosaurus
@@joelww2501 now that you say it that second mold does kinda fit gorgosaurus in skull shape although not so sure because of perspective, guess we'll have to wait for the next pnso announcement since its gonna be that one for sure
@@joelww2501gorgosaurus is next coming , see teasers
@@theimmortaleye7511 its not teased yet
(Edit) well it is teased now and it really is gorgosaurus after all lol
@firegator6853
Well as you probably just saw, it turned out to be Gorgosaurus after all!
And I have to agree that it's certainly interesting how much keratin they've given to this model. Would be interesting to one day learn how much predictability we can safely afford for a certain type and amount of osteological correlate. But yet that 'horn but not horn' was a nice touch! 🙂🙂
Hello, Dino Dragon's, how long it has been, now that I see this pnso figure I have to say that the truth is that they did all the detail very well and they focused very well on the texturing as well as the pose, only that I feel that the pose is too unstable in my opinion it scares me but I hope it can be maintained after having the post, now what I see is that pnso with this release is so good I hope they focus on herbivores since we haven't seen any for a long time herbivorous since the last releases of last year.
Thanks for your comment! I would say that PNSO models are generally very well-balanced. The only problem is the material they use warps very quickly especially in warmed temperatures. So no matter how stable it is, you have to use the stand, and for me I also use some Blu-tack to lend stability in different directions.
La pose me gusta mucho, aunque tengo miedo que pueda caerse después pero amo la pose 😅 Yo quería una coloración diferente, tal vez un color verde, siempre yo me imagino a Albertosaurus con un color verde 🤔
¡Lo triste es que en las fotos originales, esta tenía un tinte verdoso! Luego se puso todo marrón.
El modelo está realmente muy bien equilibrado. Lamentablemente el material es demasiado blando. Así que se deformará con el tiempo.
Specimen TMP 1981.000.0027 may be the prototype of this model (large parietal bulge and short lower jaw).Really like the nasal horn which make this model a"pentaceratops"😜
Thank you for that info! I'm going to check it out. Always love learning something from you experts out there! 😁
Por fin mi dinosaurio favorito tiene una figura decente
Por seguro, compa! Me gusta mucho los albertosaurinos!
@@DinosDragons a mi también, albertosaurus es mi dinosaurio favorito
You didn't bring out the Nanotyrannus for the size comparison?
Oops didn't think of it!
Does PNSO ever do a sub par figure?
Haha for every one who says no, I am sure there will be one who says yes! Depends on what's important to you, and whether PNSO missed the mark on that quality or not! 🙂
I have a tooth replica of this animal, my friend, for some weird reason thinks that the figure looks like it’s on meth but I don’t see any problems with it but with my issue is that has this weird bump on it snows since albertosaurs did not have that. Alioramus has that nose bump
I guess you could really strrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch things out and say that just happened to be how a lump of keratin formed... 🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@DinosDragons what?
고증에 맞게 완벽하게 복원됬다 멋지다!🎉
Certainly some interesting choices were made, but definitely nothing too crazy or ridiculous! 😁
The proportions look kind of weird, would it work as a Gorgosaurus?
Are you referring to the more subadult proportions?
That aside, many people regard Gorgosaurus and Albertosaurus to have been externally very hard to differentiate.
1:35 scale should be standard and sadly, this figure isn't on that scale. Hope next release will be on 1:35 standard scale.
it is 1:35 tho....
@@Bota7120 Since this figure length are 27.5 cm and Albertosaurus length's are about 8-9m max, it won't perfectly landed on 1:35 scale.
@@suk4511 well as he said, pnso estimates Albertosaurus at 9-10 meters
@@suk4511 besides, a difference of 0.6 meters can easily be individual variation
@@Bota7120 PNSO can said whatever they want like lipless theropods etc.
But, you also can be right that 0.6m can be easily individual variation even tho fossil records estimation of albertosaurus length are max in 9m.
Really disappointed in the finished paint job. Lythronax gave me hope and I was loving the green promo pics…
Shame
Exactly! The green tint at least gave us some hope for differentiation. Looking at the Zhuchentyrannus, I can't help but think what a lost opportunity!
i really wish the green was brighter... this looks pretty dull in my opinion, which is a shame, because i love the sculpt
Tell me about it. I love green hues infused into dinosaurs, such as in the ZT. This was a bit of a disappointment. Just that one little change could have elevated this even higher!
@@DinosDragons totally agree with you. The gorgosaurus already looks a lot better paint wise. I heard rumors that they will finish off the tyrannosaurs with a bistahieversor.... lets hope that one ends it with a bang. Blue could be nice
