Una gran reseña y la sección de información científica estuvo muy interesante! 😁Igual he recibido mi Chasmosaurus recientemente, es la versión verde, es una figura muy buena! 👌 Igual noté que el esculpido de las escamas se volvió más tosco, pero personalmente me gustó mucho el resultado! 🤟😁 Yo espero con muchas ansias el Einiosaurus 😎
¡Me alegro que hayas conseguido el verde! ¡Si pudiera conseguir sólo uno, ese sería el que conseguiría! Yo también espero con ansias el Einiosaurus. ¡Tiene un aspecto tan interesante que me sorprende que no se hayan producido más modelos!
Glad to see a review of you again! Great figure and paint scheme! I will buy one :) What about the HLG Edmontosaurus and Mamenchisaurus? Why are they still not available after showing their release images (3-4 weeks ago)?
Haha thank you! HLG and PNSO were nice enough to give me one of the longest breaks I can remember! It's common for models to be teasted to create excitement long before they are released. That is good in that if the company cares, it gives serious collectors the chance to critique the sculpt and changes to be made. As for Edmontosaurus, the release has just been announced! 😃😃
Mine should arrive next week. The green one, of course. Well, it seems that you will get diabloceratops and einiosaurus. But not centrosaurus, at least for now...
I'm absolutely delighted with this model, I have indeed wanted a Chasmosaurus for so long, being one of my favourites since childhood. Fantastic review as always, plus the science portion was fascinating!
Otra excelente figura y review ,... me llegó la versión verde que es mi favorita, curiosamente he observado que en la tuya los ojos son mas oscuros, la mía tiene el fondo de ojo en azul al igual que la versión marrón
Hmmm, no estoy seguro si es mi iluminación lo que hace que se vea diferente. Pero si no, sin duda es una variación interesante. ¡Quizás el tuyo se convierta en una rara pieza de colección en los próximos años! 😃😃
@@DinosDragons No es la primera vez que observo pequeñas variaciones de pintura en modelos de Haolonggood, ...por ejemplo mi megaraptor tiene las rayas blanquecinas mas atenuadas que en otros modelos que he visto,... con un lavado azulado mas oscuro, que contrasta menos y se funde mejor con el patrón general del cuerpo de lo que he visto en otras unidades
This animal also was a big part of my childhood that I forgot completely about, it was everywhere in my books showing differences with triceratops and other ceratopsians, this is a nice small model and it also can fit in my dinosaur park formation figure group, I wish in next reviews you try to compare more contemporary animals, for example in chasmosaurus case with pnso lambeosaurus, parasaurolophus, gorgosaurus, daspletosaurus, haolonggood Edmontonia etc. but it's OK because I have the haolonggood sinoceratops in hand and the 4 pnso ceratopsians you showed so I think I still have a very good idea for its size I'm always pleased with pretty and small 1:35 figures
Actually I had started following that suggestion in some of my more recent videos. Unfortunately, I'm in the middle of some mould remediation, and had to have a lot of my models packed away until the work is done. But I certainly agree that is deisrable to some collectors to see, and I will do that as soon as the boxes are opened!
Glad to see your review! It is such a pity for you to lose your Kosmoceratops. I think Haolonggood will deliver very well according to your expectations, since they have teased this week 15 ornitischian models including Diabloceratops, Einiosaurus, Medusaceratops, Styracosaurus and Utahceratops. A very promising year for expanding our collections into new shores. Let's hope now for HLG to deliver some beautifully painted/rear sculpted Centrosaurus. Thanks for your insight as always!
Thank you very much for your kind comments! Yes indeed, I am very impressed with HLG and I can't wait to see their ceratopsians and sauropods! Sauropods are my favourite group, with Ceratopsians being second (though often alternating with hadrosaurs lol!) so it's a great year for me! 😃😃
@@DinosDragonsAlways a pleasure! Tough year for finances for sure 😅. Indeed, those surprising sauropods just came right in! They have improved and aged fairly well with every release since their Apatosaurus, can't wait for their newly teased releases! I'm also very fond of sauropods, even though I'm more into Thyreophorans and Hadrosaurs, every new species acquired grows on me as time passes. An exciting year for real! 😁
Otro grandísimo acierto por parte de la marca Haolonggood, sin duda alguna. El verde es buenísimo, las transiciones del pintado son más "sentidas" y marcadas, dándole aún más profundidad. La pose es una absoluta locura. Un dinamismo perfecto. ¡Y a un precio ridículo! Estos de HG están haciendo suyo el mercado. Un vídeo increíble como siempre, amigo. Muy completo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Gracias por sus opiniones; ¡Es muy apreciado! De hecho, ¡es sorprendente cómo HLG puede mantener los precios tan bajos! Creo que, a efectos prácticos, HLG es ahora la mejor opción para muchos coleccionistas. Calidad de escultura, aplicación de pintura, precisión general y luego el bajo precio... ¡esta es una combinación inmejorable!
These two are really lovely! Almost got the green one, but after haolonggood released a teaser for saichania I decided to wait and get that one instead. Going back to the details, personally I really like what they did on chasmo, I'm a huge fan of their earlier more rough detail style and this figure improves on that enough to look great.
Thank you for your thoughts! Yes indeed, I was concerned when I saw the skin textures on some release images, but in hand I really don't mind them at all. It's just such a small figure that the scales actually are small in absolute terms! I have been looking forward to a Saichania (and hopefully we'll get a Tarchia soon as well)!
@@DinosDragons I'd be delighted to get Tarchia as well, generally I'd be happy with any Nemegt fauna. Especially tarbosaurus, alioramus and saurolophus.
I have one coming. I chose the brown based solely on the pictures on Aliexpress. Seeing them better in your review, I would now chose the green for the horns and fringe. Oh, well, they are both nice. Haolonggood's preview of 2024 releases has me salivating!
I think the brown itself is nice on its own. Most people chose the green because of all the browns that have come from PNSO and even HLG, but will be pleasantly surprised. But I handled the brown alone for a few days to get an unbiased view and I still really like it!
Good to see your review of this model. I am not sure if I should get it, because I am a bit concerned about this rougher surface texture. This was holding me back from getting the Pentaceratops and Nasutoceratops and when the Kosmoceratops and Sinoceratops came out with much finer texture I was very happy to see this. And many people have praised this improvement. I just do not understand why they have made the Chamosaurus with rougher texture. Maybe they had the molds already prepared at an earlier stage but released other models first. Hopefully this will not mean that all future ceratopsians from Haolonggood will have this rougher texture. There have been rumors about a Chasmosaurus coming from PNSO this year, so I feel like I should wait a little bit and see if this turns out to be true.
Actually, the size still is smaller than the Nasutoceratops, though still larger than some parts of the Sinoceratops. It's a bit of a challenge with smaller animals, and in fact most scalation on these models are too big. But any smaller, and they might as well be smooth like with EoFauna's dinosaurs. I'm pretty sure though, that this isn't going to be a new trend. At least I hope not!
It’s good seeing you back reviewing models! I cannot wait for my Chasmosaurus to arrive. I ordered the green variant. Compared to the PNSO Triceratops and Torosaurus, the Chasmosaurus looks so small. I hope they release an Anchiceratops soon!
Yes, HLG and PNSO gave me a nice break! But now they're back in full force it seems. I think you will be very pleased with the little green guy! 😁 Hopefully Anchiceratops will surface as well 🙂
For sure! It seems like not just HLG but also PNSO have had rather less flamboyant frills in their more recent ceratopsians. I certainly hope the next one will deviate from this!
Mine arrived a few days ago. I bought both and am very happy with them - I'd wanted a good Chasmosaurus for a long time now. While I like the brown, the green is much more striking and individual looking. And you are right - it would be so much better if Haolonggood created separate colour patterns for the two versions. I usually buy both colour ways and it would look much better on my shelves if they were differently patterned.
The thing is, their earlier Nasutoceratops, and even Apatosaurus, did have different patterns between their two variants. I wonder how much they would really save by using the one pattern template for both. It certainly looks odd if you want to create a herd.
You are right - I'd forgotten that@@DinosDragons , even though I own both versions of those. It would presumably take longer to instruct the painting work force but that is presumably the only cost.
I already reviewed the Alatreon Figure Builder. Did you mean the Creators Model? I'm a bit divided...the wings look way too small in the release images! As for the EoFauna T Rex, I have only seen one oblique angle shot of the head, so I think it would be unfair to judge based on that. They are following a gummier model, but I do feel that exposed tooth points could be sharper. but just one photo, no one should make any judgements yet.
@@DinosDragons hi, yeah I meant the creators model. I agree about the wings, it feels as though they should reach higher on the wing tips and upper membrane but I'll have to play the game again and compare. As for the eofauna T rex my main gripe with it is the cheek area, my brain seems to have issue with it, other than that I am the same as you with the teeth.
I’m pleased that HLG is providing the smaller sized ceratopsians as well as the giant sauropods. The prices are affordable even for their larger 1/35 offerings. I’ll always be a PNSO fan but HLG is setting the bar a little higher. And, as Tamiya did with their dinosaur kits and other manufacturers, doing a mixed lot of 1/35 figures of even smaller dinosaurs is very possible and something I’d love to see PNSO or HLG tackle. Your in depth quality over quantity videos are still the best.
Thanks for your kind words! Well I think that HLG is definitely catching up in all ways that mean something to most people. There is still a very obvious refinement in PNSO over HLG in terms of detail and especially paint application, but they are really really close. HLG I feel has the risk of becoming too derivative in their colour choices though. They have more colour than PNSOs, but their palette is remarkably similar. I am also not the fan of the 'stencilled' look in both variants. I wouldn't be surprised if HLG stepped up to the challenge of giving us more commercially 'risky' dinosaurs. They seem to be where PNSO used to be a few years ago in terms of giving us really diverse choices, and their herbivores are really some of the best.
I like HLG’s direction for the most part. We’ve been carnivore heavy for years and I don’t think I can justify one more T rex (Eofauna’s is tempting)but to have a company producing, past and future, such an exceptional number of herbivores is welcome. The fact that we’re seeing good 1/35 representatives of sauropods is exciting. There’s been such a lack of scale consistency that I quit picking up sauropods almost completely. As to HLG sculpts, they seem to be ramping up improvements and are more “in focus” as achieving similar PNSO accuracy. Not quite but respectable. As to HLG paint apps…..I’m reminded of what was probably late WW2 German tank and armament paint apps that all followed a basic stenciled plan of camouflage but, in the case of representing dinosaurs as living creatures, there’s a lack of balance or uniformity as you see in extant animals. Stenciling is fine but the paint apps need to be refined and moved away from Tiger Tank mottling and incoherent spotting. Beyond that, what HLG is creating is pretty damn good. And, if I find fault with paint apps, the “canvas” is in front of me. Repainting will ensue. Looking forward to more bargain meals while adding more HLG sauropods to my collection. Take care.@@DinosDragons
Yep, I'm one of those who have been waiting for a nice Chasmosaurus for a long time now. I also ordered both colors. Mine are still in transit. But I definitely like these. If I had to add anything, I might have ornamented the frills a bit more with a little more color. But that's getting really picky. I really am satisfied with these. Can't wait for mine!
The green is really something. Did you notice also how they paint for the keratinous parts were handled? The way that black infuses into that lighter colour. That alone puts if over the brown in my opinion.
Haolonggood is out doing PNSO for sure with their constant push for new models, and Chasmosaurus was a much awaited addition to everyone's collection. The green version was so much refreshing than the usual brown choice and made it stand out a bit. Can't wait for their Mamenchisaurus to be released in April. Their Edmontosaurus Regalis is on sale now . Thanks for the scientific explanations, as it was very informative 👍
Thank you for your kind words, and sorry for the late reply. Mould remediation makes time just rush by lol! Yes, this was truly an overdue dinosaur, and Chasmosaurus being the namesake of the chasmosaurines just seems like it should have been given its due much earlier. I _am_ glad in retrospect however... waiting this long also means better technology for sculpting and also paint apps. Unfortunately the Edmontosaurus was lost to me in transit, but the Mamenchisaurs not so, as you may know by now! 😁
Imo the green looks so much better! (Even tho pattern is the same 🤔) Also have you seen the image of their upcoming dinosaurs? Camarasaurus is coming!! I cant wait! My fav Sauropod! 🤩
I have loved the unusual Camarsaurus plan for a long time. In fact, both the Carnegie and Wild Safari Camarasauruses are favourites of mine! I cannot wait to see HLG do modern justice to this new animal! 😃😃😃
Worth the hype! Something that I notice is Haolonggood's dependence on straight ahead walking poses. This is a nice variation but I think we could see some more variety. I expect this was sculpted earlier on and released later, which would explain the comparatively large scales. Really good review as always, hope you might eventually get the kosmoceratops .
Thank you! With regards to the more neutral pose, I agree that more variations would be interesting. But I've also realised some limitations to more dynamic poses, especially when it comes to posing and reviewing. For example the Wilson T Rex tends to look better only from one side thanks to the lateral bend, and the small PNSO Spino is almost impossible to get more than one or two nice angles. For people who like seeing scale with their 1:35 figures, it will be less satisfying. but given so many ceratopsians in neutral poses, I agree HLG could afford to be a little daring with some others. Dynamic poses are especially useful for people who want to create livelier dioramas too!

Does anyone else remember Chasmosaurus from Carnivores 2?
Sound design on that thing is so good!
Have you bought even one HLG model yet? They are definitely going places!
@@DinosDragons I'm buying one from a friend so I will have one soon.
I was afraid this one would be too tough, but ur review made me feel better. I might get the green.
I'm glad my video helped! If I could get just one, I would get the green too!
Good to see you back!
Thank you! I got busy and took full advantage of the lull from PNSO to get in some time to focus on fixing a few things! 🙂🙂

I think the key point I was inferring as to HLG’s paint apps is the lack of symmetry found in nature. Sometimes they work, more often, nope.

@@DinosDragons Oh I'm sure of it! Hehe! Thanks again for another wonderful review!
Will you review that sino, I know it’s a little old but
Unfortunately, that got lost in transit, like the Edmontosaurus 😥
What sells the green one for me is the blackness of the eyes compared to the brown model. I love the shine they gave to the orbs.
The green is really something. Did you notice also how they paint for the keratinous parts were handled? The way that black infuses into that lighter colour. That alone puts if over the brown in my opinion.

With regards to the more neutral pose, I agree that more variations would be interesting. But I've also realised some limitations to more dynamic poses, especially when it comes to posing and reviewing. For example the Wilson T Rex tends to look better only from one side thanks to the lateral bend, and the small PNSO Spino is almost impossible to get more than one or two nice angles. For people who like seeing scale with their 1:35 figures, it will be less satisfying. but given so many ceratopsians in neutral poses, I agree HLG could afford to be a little daring with some others. Dynamic poses are especially useful for people who want to create livelier dioramas too!
