151: PNSO Olorotitan (Ivan 2021) Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- We have another hadrosaur from PNSO, and this time, on two legs!
This is the Russian lambeosaurines Olorotitan, the Titanic Swan. And that characteristic long neck and hatchet crest are faithfully recreated here by PNSO. Adding to its already impressive lineup of hadrosaurs, PNSO gives us a hadrosaur in a rearing pose this time, and I am absolutely loving the variety it gives my hadrosaurs.
With remarkable scale detail and colour fades that are an absolute delight, this rearing Olorotitan is a hadrosaur must-have for hadrosaur fans!

When I heard of the release of Ivan I was elated! I have Olorotitans in the opening chapter of my second book and this model is exactly how I envisaged them. This is one of the best models to be released in my opinion. I liked your comparison with the other lambeosaurs! And yes, PNSO do need to release an Edmontosaurus!
I'm glad you like this one!
PNSO is an example of how, by generating enough love and respect by giving quality, you can then start to expand into newer and less heard-of dinosaurs, and actually get people (and children!) to want to learn more beyond the standard crowd-pleasers!
Although there has been an occasional lack of consistency in paint apps and people _are_ concerned about the rising prices, I think PNSO has really pulled ahead of many other companies because they produce models _most_ dinosaur lovers would appreciate.
The other hadrosaurs, when I look at them again, really were an indication of things to come. Even now, when I look at the Lambeosaurus and the Corythosaurus, I feel their quality is right up there, and even the integument was already showing some of the higher levels PNSO would be able to reach.
@@DinosDragons PNSO have done an amazing job in such a sort period of time despite their unpredictable production. I could not have imagined last year that I would be purchasing from them regularly. Yes, I'm pleased that lesser known specimens are being introduced into the lime light! 😁👍🏻
And your in depth rendering of information that goes well beyond just a figure review makes your introductions to PNSO’s latest releases icing on the cake.
Thank you very much for your kind comment! I hope to share my interest in dinosaurs and some of the science behind them through these models, as this has been a growing passion for me in recent years. It just happens that PNSO has a blend of so many pluses for me that it's a pleasure to review! 😁
I'll need to pick this up at some point. One of PNSOs best in a very mixed year in terms of quality lol
Look at it this way... it makes it easier to save money knowing some might not be to your liking! 😁
Thank you for another wonderful review!
Can't wait to see what PNSO brings next - personally looking forward to an Iguanodon, like you mentioned, or a Kentrosaurus. Love the Stegosaurians~
You and me both! Kentrosaurus is one of those 'common' stegosaurs, waiting for a nice update. So too Polacanthus... wow it seems like there's a long list of dinosaurs we want from PNSO lol!
Another detailed and passionate review! I really like the pose of this hadrosaur, he is a very nice addition and looks awesome with his cousins!
It's indeed a beautiful and colourful array to have, and makes hadrosaurs exciting again! I just love those proportions, which granted some might argue are a little spindly especially in the forelimbs.
I like it but I 100% think that it would look better with a blue crest. I’m just a bit sick of seeing the constant oranges,browns and blacks on herbivores so a change would be quite nice.
Blue would definitely be a breath of fresh air, not to mention colour! The closest I can think of is the Corythosaurus turquoise, but a straight up blue would be very welcome!
I live where the olorotitan was found. Really can't wait to order it sometime, it looks amazing! Currently waiting for my carchar to arrive
That's so cool, I'm happy to hear that! If only there was a dinosaur native to where I live, I would want one good representative too! This olorotitan really surprised me by how much I liked it... that purple hue is really something to my eyes!
Everyone share the word about the Mesozoic life spinosaurus Kickstarter please I need that model to release so badly it’s amazing 🦖
Yet another fantastic review! I always learn so much from you. And yes, I also wish PNSO would make an Edmontosaurus.
Thank you for your support as always Michael!
I do have the Safari Edmontosaurus, but something about it always struck me as being off, despite it also being a very nice model to have. But PNSO was the only one who made them according to how I've always imagined hadrosaurs to be like!
Olorotitan is my fav Hardosauridae and this model is the best Olorotitan model I have seen. It's a must have!
Wow then you're lucky! I don't know much about models but as far as I know there have been very few of this one made, and those were not trying to be scientifically rigorous in their reconstruction!
@@DinosDragons Yeah seen some of em not a fan. I got two CollectA's Olorotitans tho lol
Holy cow it's gorgeous. I need this.
PNSO has definitely done it again with another hadrosaur!
Wonderful review as always. Thank you very much :) sadly, for us Europeans, the pricesituation of PNSO Figures is known. Clearly a luxery Problem, but still a bit sad. I would love to see this elegant Orolotitan join to my other Hardosaurs and build a nice Base for it. Hopefully soon.
The worst thing are the shipping and taxes that are adding a huge premium. I wonder if PNSO would consider having a European store soon, and if that could help cut cost quite a bit.
Awesome review!
Ivan is definitely my favourite hadrosaur pnso has released
I'm glad you have a favourite! I have them on my table now, and I still can't decide which one I like best!
Hey nice review, can you please tell me where did you order this from? i checked everythingdinosaurs , could not find it
Try the PNSO store on Amazon.com or Aliexpress. Amazon is usually quite fast and Aliexpress will give you cheaper shipping. (I'm assuming you're in the US)
I was waiting on you to do a review of Ivan before I bought it. I guess this is going to be my next PNSO.
Glad to hear that you approve of this! It's really amazing. The Lambeosaurus and Corythosaurus from last year were already of very good quality. Then Parasaurolophus and now Olorotitan. A hadrosaur lover's dream!
@@DinosDragons I have the other three. I truly love hadrosaurs. Parasaurolophus has been my favorite dinosaur since I was a little kid.
As always another amazing, well-detailed review. Since the day PNSO revealed the figure details I eagerly waited to watch your amazing review. Thank you so much dear sir for your dedication. I know you put your heart and soul into making these videos, and you dedicate your precious time to us. I respect you a lot. And as always I learned a lot from this video, things I didn't know before. Even though I don't have any of the PNSO figures, someday I will at least have a few of them. But until then I'll enjoy these videos. Thank you so much and please keep up the good work. Wish you all the best
Thank you very much Rajitha!
I never really wanted to make just straight toy reviews, as I want to also share my love of these amazing creatures. This isn't to the taste of most people, and if I were to skip the 'extras' my reviews could be shorter and probably a couple days earlier if I just did straight reviews. So I'm grateful to have viewers like you who do like my content, and kinds words like yours are very much appreciated!
I hope to continue making more of these videos, and continue to add information and knowledge that would help more people appreciate these prehistoric creatures.
I hope that you will one day get some PNSOs... I guess it's tougher for some places to get them... but really I know how much it would mean to have just one or two favourites! 😁
The Tabosaurus would go well with the Olorotitan which they say was on its menu
I'm not sure.
I haven't brushed up on my formations but I believe they were from different formations.
Time-wise they would have overlapped, living to the end of the Maastrichtian (Tarbosaurus 100-66mya) and Olorotitan (71-66mya) but Tarbosaurus was from the Nemegt Formation while Olorotitan in the Udurchukan Formation. Someone else will know I'm sure! 😁
Bought this in a heartbeat it looks gorgeous and a species I don’t have
It's even better in person, and standing next to any PNSO hadrosaur!
This dinosaur model is beautiful. A must buy.
For me, definitely as soon as I saw the release images! Just for the pose, but you add in the other qualities PNSO is known for, and it's just a must for me! 😊
This is what I like from PNSO design..it's animal likeness and not a movie monster...I have purchased one online and now I'm super excited...I love your review always...
Thank you! Believe me, if the paint application is still as good as the first run you are absolutely going to love its naturalistic colours and the pose. PNSO has given me some of my favourite hadrosaurs and this one is very near the top for me!
@@DinosDragons I received mine today and somehow they have rectified the seam line on the crest...I can barely notice in my piece...
Are psno figures worth it? These look good ngl
It's hard to say! Depends on your individual circumstance and how much you are paying for it, including shipping. Some people are feeling the hurt in the EU with the new taxes for example. For what they are, a balance of good sculpting, paint apps (generally) and scientific accuracy, these tick the box for me.
Ouranossaurus its a must for this group, got to happend :)
I certainly hope we get one, considering we just got Iguanodon!
One simple word in my humble opinon: GLORIOUS....
Indeed... with a crown to match!
I HAVE TO PLACE MY ORDER...!!!!!
Late to the party but just got this guy in the mail…I’ll say in person the detail is a little smoother then what I thought it would be but still a great figure! Btw I and I think I and everyone else would love a tour of your collection. Keep up the good work :)
Wow that's a really good model. I hope that you still had quite a good paintjob, as it's been a while since this was released. There is usually some deterioration in paint apps with late runs ☹
My collection is a total mess lol. The display is still a work-in-progress though I daresay with very little progress made! 🤣
@@DinosDragons I think given the fact that it was a fairly simplistic paint job it was able to stay fairly close to what I’ve seen… I like to touch up my figures with paint either way so all is good :)
And when you feel like its ready and clean lol I think we would still love a tour of your collection, keep up the good work
Beautiful. Very elegant. X
Elegant and beautiful are the words for what PNSO has done for its hadrosaurs! 😊
Exellent and good channel. :)
Thank you very much! Glad you like it! 😁
p.s I want Shantungosaurus.
That one is truly impressive, and at its size even the older style scalation doesn't look to out of place. However my problem was the stability. Mine does not stand at all. I also didn't like the colour much, and gave it away to some children who were delighted to have it. Although in retrospect I could have had it repainted and modified for stability. As a specimen of true size in the hadrosaur group, it is a fantastic model.
As nice as it is the pose is giving me major stability concerns, its one of those that my heart wants but my brain say's no lol
You mean your only concern is stability? I will say that on different surfaces, it won't stand on its own because most flat surfaces tend to have different inclines. For example on my study desk this stands but leans to the left, and on another table it won't stand at all. So the provided stand is definitely a must.
Actually it is a must in any case since these dinosaurs tend to warp over time, especially in hot humid countries.
@@DinosDragons Thanks for the reply, also I have a question about the Corythosaurus, if the figure was actually a Saurolophus would it be in 1:35 scale? I saw Gex do a conversion of one on his instagram and it's beautiful
Nice explanation about the locomotion of hadrosaurs. I wonder how'd they ran on rushes, specially species like Shantungosaurus. I'm also waiting for an Iguanodon, it'd be nice
There are quite a few famous dinosaurs that PNSO hasn't tackled in fact! I'm surprised they haven't done a Velociraptor or Deinonychus, the therizinosaurs or ornithomimosaurs. I don't have a single updated Iguanodon 😁 There's no shortage of popular candidates for what PNSO might do next. I'm always pleasantly surprised to see what their next release image reveals.
What a beautiful, unexpected and surprising model from PNSO.
Now the hadrosaurs herd is complete although I always hope PNSO will make a new Shantungosaurus.
Great review as always!
I would absolutely love a new Shantungosaurus! I didn't really like the colouration of the previous one and I gave it away to some children only too delighted to have them, but to have one done now with the modern level of sculpting of this monstrous hadrosaur (in the same 1:35 scale please!), would be really splendid!
Beautiful elegant pose.
All of them are very well done, but this pose is more interresting and perfect for a diorama.
Also nice and clean paintshop and no disturbing seamlines.
What I like is the variety, which is something I would have liked in some other dinosaurs. We have that with T Rex, and I know it would never happen, but I wouldn't mind more Pachycephalosauruses in different poses to go with the one T Rex already has.
I know many collectors who want their army of Hot Toys Iron Mans, but for me, I would love a herd of plant eaters all doing different things.
There _is_ that seam in the crest which might be a little disturbing if you're a perfectionist 😁
Ive always loved Hadrosaurs...this is great!!!! Thank you for another wonderful review...Hugs from New Zealand.
You're most welcome! 😁I'm glad you love hadrosaurs... PNSO has really done their bauplan justice although of course, the limbs have been noted by some to be on the spindly side.
Honestly Ivan is pretty cool,and PNSO did a wonderful job making this species,also this was a great review.
Also I wish yall are having a good day
Thank you this was a real pleasure to review. I really like the hadrosaur bauplan!
Tus revisiones son muy explicativas, te felicito y agradezco... creo que es la figura más bella de PNSO, los colores, la pose son excelentes!!!! Gracias y saludos desde Chile
¡Gracias por tu apoyo! ¡Pero es difícil elegir qué hadrosaurio PNSO es el mejor! Por ejemplo el Lambeosaurus y el Parasaurolophus .... ¡ es imposible de decidir!
"bouwplan" => "blueprint"
It's "bauplan". 🙂
@@DinosDragons Ah yes, German, not Dutch ☺
The most realistic of the 4 PNSO hadrosaurus. Very beautiful!
PNSO keeps surpassing itself. Though I daresay that due to simply its larger size, there is more fine detail on the Parasaurolophus on the legs. But otherwise, they don't look out of place at all standing next to each other. In fact I regard the Lambeosaurus and Corythosaurus from last year to be already at a very high standard!
Oh yeah! This will be my next PNSO purchase.
It’s very well done and the pose is great.
And, like others, I’d like to see the behemoth hadrosaurs like Edmontosaurus done in 1/35.
The near sauropod sized hadrosaurs are/were just amazing.
I think that doing sauropod or sauropod sized animals in 1/35 is very doable.
Nanmu, even though it’s not accurate, managed it by making their Apatosaurus in two pieces easily fitted together with minimal effort and using hollow vinyl. It’s about 24 inches in length and still available from BigBadToyStore for right around $70.
I like the solid figures..W-Dragons’
huge Brachiosaurus a prime, large example...but I don’t mind very well rendered hollow figures such as the beautiful PNSO Ceratosaurus.
I’m very glad PNSO continues to present well sculpted and highly accurate figures.
I'm completely with you on the 1:35 sauropods! They used to have those hollow PVCs, and like you say, Nanmu has certainly shown it can be done, as well as W-Dragon.
The 1:45 Mamenchisaurus would have been perfect for many sauropod/ dinosaur lovers _except_ for that small scale, so I hope PNSO can do a CBA and find a way to still give us awesome sauropod models. It is one thing to have them really nice and accurate, but for a sauropod when you remove the larger size, you remove one of the most iconic and impressive things about this magnificent group.
As PNSO has shown with their Shantungosaurus, if they did the large behemoth-sized hadrosaurs to show the diversity of size and scale, it would really be impressive. I never learnt how big hadrosaurs could get till just a few years ago, and it would be amazing to have that conveyed in a 1:35 from PNSO someday!
These huge animals would have been something to see, for sure.
Probably had few issues with predators if they managed to achieve maturity.
I never saw hadrosaurs as being dull fodder for rampaging meat eaters. Like most non-avian dinosaurs, I found them all to be of interest.
Even as a kid in the 60’s, I knew the manner in which they were portrayed, scientifically as well as in popular entertainment, was incorrect.
Even then, not having a clue about the meaning of the word ‘physiology’, the “science” made no sense to me.
Always glad to see another representation that breaths life into my favorite group of extinct animals.
Excellent new piece. I love its pose and its beautiful head and crest. 😍🤩
I'm not a completist, and try to be selective, but PNSO makes it hard not to seem that way. This one was an instant must have the moment I saw the release images!
Love it! Will look amazing with my other Hadrosaurs.
It definitely is a _stand_ out!
Pleased for another Hadrosaur from PNSO and will certainly purchase . Can’t help but notice the pes are absolutely dainty as with earlier models like the Lambeosaurus . Hopefully this will not affect the balance as with the others . From your review , the model appears to lack the detail offered to last year’s Parasaurolophus in regards to the limbs . Another point of contention is the twisting of the torso , which PNSO has repeated with all four . The Hadrosauridae featured ossified tendons along the spine which would result in a stiff and rigid body . Disappointed that PNSO has not afforded the attention to detail given to theropods .
Thank you very much for your comment. Very astute observation on the tail! Yes the trellis of ossified tendons would have interfered with the lateral range of motion of the tail. I do recall reading a paper on the histology of these tendons suggesting they would not have been completely stiff, so some lateral motion might have been possible (they seem to be very strong against hogging however so definitely I would say no droopy tails). However I couldn't find that paper now (possibly a 1996 paper if anyone knows).
There is certainly more fine detail on the Parasaurolophus, although I put that down to it simply being bigger and therefore having a larger canvas to work with. Personally having them side by side, I don't find it irksome but of course, some people pick up these details more sensitively than I do.
The almost spindly limbs has definitely been noted by many people and I daresay I wouldn't mind them a little bit thicker, especially the forelimbs. Stability-wise, you definitely have to use the stand. What I notice is that bipeds that balance on two legs are more sensitive to subtle changes in surface inclination or even the strength of my air-conditioner currents! And even if they are pretty stable, there's still the issue of warping if you are living in hot and humid climes.
@@DinosDragons ; The pes of PNSO’s Nanotyrannus and Pachycephalosaurus are even smaller yet , are exquisitely sculpted and well proportioned . Perhaps someone else sculpted the these hadrosaurs because aside from the Parasaurolophus the other Hadros share similar sculpting styles .
Achei as patas traseiras pequenas e finas demais comparada a dos outros
Sí pero creo que proporcionalmente sigue el mismo bauplan. En general, es más pequeño que los demás.
This is phenomenal and magnificent
PNSO just doesn't stop! 😂
Another work of art from PNSO, no shocker there. Can't wait to get this one
It's really amazing to have in hand, especially if you already have other hadrosaurs to stand it next to! I'm glad the actual colours followed through quite closely, especially that purplish hue and that tail patterning!
@@DinosDragons absolutely! I do have all of PNSO's hadrosaurs except this one. Can't wait for him to join the family. Thanks for the review, I was eagerly waiting for it lol
너무작아서 아쉽다..
It actually is. But I think it has to be in order to keep to a 1:35 scale, which actually makes it nice to see the variety of shapes and sizes if your collection is mainly 1:35 too.
