- Finally… PNSO HAS COME BACK… to put another dent in our wallets! And what better way to start than introducing one of the most iconic dinosaurs, the beautiful hadrosaur Parasaurolophus!
I’ll wager there’s not a dinosaur book that does not have Parasaurolophus as it obligatory hadrosaur, and for good reason! Instantly recognizable, with one of the trademark features of its group, Parasaurolophus is probably one of the first names your learnt as a child that didn’t end in a “-saurus”!
This re-entry by PNSO has all its expected detail, sculpting, scientific accuracy… and the paint applications… it boggles the mind how PNSO puts such paint on a mass produced figure, and if anything, it will probably be paint apps that cause PNSO dinosaurs to pull away from the rest of the herd.
I love the way you give scientific info alongside of the figure, explaining the reasons why each model was build that way, you deserve to have way more subscribers.
Thank you Luis I appreciate that!
I guess different reviewers will have different styles and motivations and so appeal to different viewers. I love these models as art, but also want to communicate little observations and tidbits of science because I feel that we can appreciate our models even more that way. That would not appeal to people who prefer shorter videos just to look at the toy itself, without all the extras.
I'm blessed to have even a small number of viewers who like my videos, so thank you for your support! 😁
My skinny wallet can`t take it! Absolutely love this dinosaur and the figure is amazing. Great review.
Thanks Rik! The paint application on this is truly amazing and if I had limited funds this is one I would get. If the following PNSOs are all equally good, then I fear for my bank account!
I’d say this is my favorite PNSO to date. The sculpt, paint and overall look of the animal is superb. It really seems in another universe when compared to their recent output. Love the accurate skin texture.
I'm glad you could make out how wondrous it is, but you truly need to have the element of _touch_ to fully appreciate this model. There's a _tactile_ component to the enjoyment of this model I can't fully describe or capture on video.
Truly, I would say that if you didn't tell me the price point or company that made this, it would be easy to believe that this was a high-end resin kit built up by a professional artist!
@@DinosDragons the upcoming Carcharodontosaurus looks to be “cut from the same cloth”. I can’t wait to see where PNSO is going with this trend.
@@williamneill5441 I asked PNSO for a Pachycephalosaurus, Dilophosaurus and Mononykus, Halszkaraptor, They said they will consider it... Hope they become available!
I discovered your channel yesterday! I have been binge-watching your videos...man, they are awesome. You points out the details in the models so nicely, and add a lot of updated paleontological information...but without looking boring. You have a fan here in Brazil! Bom trabalho!
Thank you Daniel and most welcome! I am glad you like my format, and the scientific tidbits I try to add to most of my videos! I'm a self-learner and still learning all the time, and when a company offers models of such beauty and accuracy like PNSO does, it's hard not to talk about it!
Hope things will get better in Brazil. 😥 Please take precautions and stay safe!
Love your reviews Dino, great attention to detail. And what a lovely model, definitely one for the collection.
Thanks Vince! In a way I'm glad PNSO isn't going to churn out a one-a-week this time round, because it will give us just more time to fully take in the breaktaking beauty of this excellent model!
Another fantastic review! I always try to wait for your reviews before ordering. This one is now in my cart!
Thank you as always Michael! If what we see in this first model of the new wave is any indication, I feel a great swell of pity for the wallet of anyone who is in love with dinosaurs!
That intro is just beautiful.
Also this *Wyatt* Parasaur, looks quite epic,and that's very nice,cause DinosDragons is just so cool with his videos,and that's very nice.
So I say sub2 DinosDragons.
Thank you! This is an amazing model!
Yw
Wow I had that same Carnegie toy when I was a child! I think I chewed it's crest off.. Wonderful figure. So glad I chose this as my first PNSO Hadrosaur after watching this video.
Wow tell me about it! The Carnegie museum version is one of my favourites, because it reminds me of a few paintings I really love. I'm very happy you thought this video was helpful in your decision, and I'm sure you won't regret your purchase. It's one of the best hadrosaurs PNSO has ever done!
the intro has me thinking about how PNSO should name a model Dwayne
My God you're right I never even thought of that! Perhaps one of the really bulky ones... I'm thinking a heavy weight Ceratopsian of some sort!
@@DinosDragons Dwayne the Udanoceratops sounds good to me, if you see this take notes pnso staff 😁
@@Fede_99 *gasp* YOU'RE SO RIGHT
great review as usual and another very superb model by pnso
Thank you for your kind words! This superb model was very enjoyable to review; had to struggle to keep it from getting too long lol!
I love how now pnso went with a more realistic subtle scales which you can kind of see also in their upcoming carcharodontosaurus
You truly need to see it up close and have it in hand to appreciate what they've done here. I think it's very hard to really admire on video or photography because no matter how good those are, you lose the important _tactile_ component so important to fully understanding what PNSO has done here!
@@DinosDragons I agree, i love how pnso seems to keep evolving and improving their models
This looks to be THEE parasaurolophus figure, beautiful! Great review as allways
Thanks Jrex it is definitely THEE Parasaurolophus figure for me! I didn't quite like the overwhelming bulk of the CollectA Deluxe, so the only one I had on my shelf was the old Carnegie. Now it sits together with this modern iteration!
@@DinosDragons that's beautiful! I want to do the same thing👍
Petit choses a dire c’est finalement p.citotus la plus grande espèce de parasaurolophus avec une estimation maximale de 15.2 m de longueur pour une masse de 17.1 tonnes selon (Fadéno sur devienart)
I love your videos soooooooooooo muuuccchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Thanks for your kind work :3
Thank you Carlos! I enjoy making these reviews and when it's a beautiful model like this, it's a real pleasure! 😁
I recently put an order in for this beautiful para.
You will _MOST_ certainly NOT regret it!
This is easily one of PNSOs best models I adore the crap out of it
PNSO has really surpassed itself with this one! Hopefully their rendition of skin can be carried over to future offerings!
I love this guy! Despite the neck thing I have him on my wish list.
I love the crest and eye colours and I love that they decided to do an injured animal over a perfect specimen. Makes it feel more real like the animal actually had a life.
What neck thing do you not like about it?
Being based on an actual specimen with a backstory certainly makes for a more interesting animal than a cookie cutter perfect specimen. I only hope people actually read the booklet to realise this was a pathological artefact, not how they all looked!
@@DinosDragons Oh just the neck not having as much muscle as it is now thought as all. You pointed it out in your vid :P
@@horse14t In that case you will be very happy with the new Tsintaosaurus! 😊
@@DinosDragons He's gorgeous!
Can't wait to add him to my wish list! Love the crest colours too!
Another wonderous review, chap. Although I'm currently wondering what's with everyone in the comments going on about with a supposed PNSO Carcharodontosaurus and Torvosaurus.
Well Mark I think they're just carried away with excitement by the product image release of the next upcoming PNSO - Carcharodontosaurus! Have you seen those pictures? And naturally some people are recalling some of those teases PNSO dropped on us last year suggesting a Torvosaurus was in the mix.
Great review as always! Can’t wait to see your review of the pnso Carcharodontosaurus! Btw, will you be getting/reviewing the nanmu giganotosaurus?
Thank you! Unfortunately, the Nanmu Allosaurus is probably the only Nanmu I'll ever get, because I really value accuracy and Nanmu has a different slant, usually towards a more Jurassic Parkesque aesthetic. While their sculping and painting work is really good, I need to conserve my rapidly dwindling space for models that are also accurate 😔
@@DinosDragons I totally understand. In that case, can’t wait to see your future pnso reviews!
This figure is great as far as proportions, natural looking rather than exaggerated musculature, and subtle finish detail, including the painting, which includes countershading as well as camouflage striping! It's interesting that they sculpted in the injury but I would have preferred a representation of a normal healthy animal. I'll always have to view this sculpture as one of a very specific injured animal, and may have to explain the jog in the neural spine profile to those interested in the figure so they understand this is not the true body form.
Very true! The thing is, it would have been a little different if they'd talked about that in the pamphlet they include with their models, but it's not in there. So given that PNSO has been the epitome of accuracy, I have the concern that people (especially children) might get the wrong idea that this is how the typical Parasaurolophus looks.
They may even read that this saddle acts as a pass-through notch for the end of the crest, and have this idea reinforced because PNSO has been so good about their reproductions. So they'll admire this model and the saddle for the wrong reasons.
Maaan, the pictures didn't make justice to this beauty
Not at all Aaron! It's a real beauty, and the colour, the paint application is elevates it even higher! It's one thing to say we're lucky it looks like the release image colours, but quite another to say it looks _even better_ !
awesome review like you always do.. you r PNSO of dinosaur model review community.
and i do agree that PNSO should gives us a definitive Allosaurus model.. though i m excited for carcharodontosaurus too as its very rare in dinosaur models ... Torvosaurus is my another favourite species ..they should also do that... along with some sauropod model now..
and also i m waiting for you to review new Triceratops model by Eofauna...you like scientifically accurate models and Eofauna is all about that..
Unfortunately I didn't get the EoFauna. I love the sculpt, but the paint applications are not to my taste. I do have the other EoFauna figures and will probably be ordering their Deinotherium soon.
Torvosaurus is a very real possiblity. I believe it was teased by PNSO last year, and it really is one of those dinosaurs that should be better known. The CollectA had a very good sculpt; I have no doubt PNSO would up that with an amazing paintjob too!
@@DinosDragons yaa ..i also don't like the paintjob on Eofauna Triceratops but the sculpt is cool and accurate so i will pick dominant version ....and excited for PNSO Torvosaurus release.....i also want PNSO to release 1/35 scale sauropods figure...but it will be catastrophic on my wallet...coz the figure will be double the price of Wilson at least considering the size....
I love how pnso captured the actual rom specimen . The only thing things I would ave changed are the head pose and crest colors. If they had tilted the head down just a bit it would made the crest tilt more at an upward angle giving the the figure a better silhouette. When I first saw the pics, I thought the crest was way to short, but it ended up being an angle issue. BTW the lambe is 1/35 scale also not 1/38 the lambe was slightly smaller then the para. I do wish they had scaled the corythosaurus to the same scale as I don't even showcase them together do to this issue.
The challenge with photos is that foreshortening will also throw off perceptions of the model. For example I didn't get the Vitae Giganotosaurus because of my perceptions that various proportions were inaccurate, but Dr Scott Hartman pointed out that it was the foreshortening that gives a wrong perception so in fact it actually _is_ a pretty good model!
Amazing..
It is! Have it on the table as you also enjoy the equally wonderfully written Bertozzo paper on Parasaurolophus! 😁
I love the detail about the pathology, especially because the fossil record for this species is so bad and fragmentary. IIRC, the holotype for P. walkeri is the only known specimen, so focusing on the few details we know from that fossil is great. This attention to scientific detail elevates PNSO above other companies for me.
It's really astounding to me how many dinosaurs we love so well actually have only the one holotype, my favourite dinosaur Carnotaurus being the obvious other! It truly is extremely lucky when I think how many dinosaurs, just by missing _ONE_ fossil, we would have entirely no knowledge of.
PNSO has in just two years become my absolute favourite. It's a little sad, I love Safari Ltd and CollectA because while they have excellent sculpting, it is often seriously let down by plain, bad, or downright awful paint jobs. I think they will find it hard to maintain market share in time to come.
My favorite of the lambeosaurine figures
Also have you seen the Carcharodontosaurus promo images?
Yes I have. I wish he was bigger. He looks too small for 1:35 unless you're accepting an adult estimate of only 10m!
I love it. It's a great PNSO figure.
It's absolutely amazing. I couldn't stop looking at it for days! Even after I did the review I discovered new things that I could have talked about... but you guys can have the fun of discovering them yourselves! 😁
the best ever i love that! soooo much!!!!!
It's an amazin figure, and right now my favourite Parasaurolophus on the market. When you have it in front of you, you can really appreciate the incredible paint application!
@@DinosDragons how to find that toys?
Nice model, indeed. Looks a little big... but i will take your word on it, and buy it as soon as possible. My best one so far is a Sleich one, brown, wich is not bad at all (2008, i believe). But this is way above and beyond.
The paint application is almost out of the world for the price bracket. I expect to see this on a higher end model or one that you pay a professional artist for!
Size-wise, most real life estimates give you a range, so it's really not set in stone. But this Parasaurolophus really scores so high just on paint apps I would buy it at any scale! If PNSO continues, I think they will dominate the model market because they have all their bases covered.
Hi! Filippo Bertozzo here, lovely video! Don't worry about my surname, you haven't butchered it :)
Dr Bertozzo, what an honour to have you here!
I absolutely LOVED your paper! It was so well written and wonderfully illustrated, I wish more papers were as reader-friendly as yours! I in fact had said a lot more about your paper but I realised it made the video about 11min longer and had to regretfully leave it out lol. I look forward to more from you!
@@DinosDragons my pleasure, thanks for the kind words!
Hadrosaurs are my favorite family of dinosaur so naturally I purchased all three . Ironically, they are my least favorite . All three have this strange twist that makes all three unbalanced , the tails are not angled opposite of the torso which further pulls the figures down . The first two figures were sculpted with these ridiculously small manus and peds which is finally corrected with Parasaurolophus . These figures unfortunately lack the care and attention to detail afforded to the theropods and thyreophorans . The beauty of their Pachycephalosaur gives me hope that PNSO will produce more Ornithischians with greater accuracy and artistry .
It's indeed unfortunate that PNSO suffers from warping issues, so if you have those tiny forelimbs off by just a bit, they are likely to keel over as I found out after they had been on the shelf a couple of days. However I'm surprised you didn't think much of the Parasaurolophus, which was the start of PNSO's current renaissance with their integument.
The Pachycephalosaurus is one I wouldn't mind multiples of, in different poses, so good is that sculpt. Hopefully PNSO continues to improve in all aspects!
@@DinosDragons ; The Parasaurolophus looks marvelous so long as its lying on it’s side . If a company cannot make a quadruped stand without falling over then it is time to reassess their manufacturing process . I made the mistake of trying to brace it between two heavy figures and one day it managed to fall and is unfortunately broken . My hope is for PNSO to one day release a Brachylophosaurus since it is one of the most complete dinosaurs ever discovered .
Magnífico
Sin duda! 😁
I’m honestly most excited for the Carcharodontosaurus & Torvosaurus fingers, since those two are my favorite theropods.
Did you see the carnharodontosuaurs reveal today? It looks phenomenal
@@hobosrcool730
Indeed I did & I couldn’t agree more with you my good sir
The Torvosaurus is probably coming soon, since it was teased a while ago.
Might have been whacked by an Ankylosaurus tail club
Now that is quite a theory! Yes it could have been due to some conflict, and actually now that I think about it, real life conflict between herbivores is a commonality that few people have captured in the world of dinosaurs!
permanent like)
Thank you! 😁
Have you seen the new Carcharodontosaurus from pnso?
Yes I have. The proportions are very interesting, but I wish it was on a bigger scale because Carcharodontosaurus was always one of the BIG FOUR for me!
What other Hadrosaurs would you want?
I think the lambeosaurines are pretty much filled out by PNSO already. I would like a couple of representatives of the hadrosaurine (saurolophine) hadrosaurs.
If it's just one, then Edmontosaurus is an obvious choice, done in PNSO's trademark combination of colour, detail, accuracy, and something larger than the 1:45 Wild Safari.
For a bonus second, perhaps Saurolophus, just so we have the dinosaur that gave its name to the subfamily.
@@DinosDragons agree 100% with saurolophus. Its very underrepresented in scientific forms. I only know of 4 figures none of which a very scientifically accurate. You have the dinoriders ,sky kids thunder beast, dinosaur king figs, and the kaiyodo dinotales.
I also once thought that PNSO must make an Argentinosaurus named "Bruford"?
Hahah why Bruford?
@@DinosDragons oh just a sample, I'm thinking of a name that fits for someone huge....
It's an ok/meh model for me, sad that it got probably completed before the new paper, I would also chose a different coloration
Well then that means you get to save some money! 😁
@@DinosDragons exactly, that's the only good thing 😂
하하 나도 주문했지 마음에 드는녀석이다
It's amazing and the detail is incredible! Better to see in person!
Are you a paleontologist?
Unfortunately no! I was thinking of doing a course this or next year, but well, the pandemic...
