Our chums at Haolonggood have announced that they will be introducing three Giganotosaurus figures.  The Haolonggood Giganotosaurus models will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur before the end of the year.  Each figure measures thirty-five centimetres in length.  Those beautiful nasal crests are some eleven centimetres off the ground.

Haolonggood will be introducing three Giganotosaurus colour variants. HLG-162 Giganotosaurus Guan Sheng (top), HLG-163 Giganotosaurus Lin Chong (middle) and the Haolonggood special colour version (HLG-165) bottom.

New Haolonggood Giganotosaurus Models

Each figure is the same sculpt.  Furthermore, each figure will have an articulated lower jaw. It is the paint schemes that vary.  To help collectors, we have included images of all three Haolonggood Giganotosaurus figures in this article.

The three models are:

• HLG-162 Giganotosaurus Guan Sheng.
• HLG-163 Giganotosaurus Lin Chong.
• In addition, the Giganotosaurus Special Colour Version (HLG-165).

We suspect that the HLG-165 figure will only be available for a limited period.

The picture (above) is that of HLG-163, the Giganotosaurus figure known as Lin Chong.  It has been painted a mottled blue/grey colour.

A Special Colour Version of Giganotosaurus

Haolonggood usually produce a pair of figures. However, they intend to introduce a trio of Giganotosaurus models.  HLG-165 is the special colour version of Giganotosaurus carolinii.

The third Haolonggood Giganotosaurus figure to be featured in this article is HLG-165.  This is the special colour version.  At this time, we are not sure whether HLG-165 will be produced again.  Haolonggood tends to produce special editions, but these are only available for a limited time.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“I know dinosaur fans have been asking Haolonggood to make a Giganotosaurus model.  It is wonderful to see this trio of figures announced.  They will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur shortly.”

Everything Dinosaur will be stocking both colour variants of the recently announced Haolonggood Iguanodon model.  Mike and Sue are looking forward to receiving into stock the grey version and the brown version of this iconic ornithopod.  Each model measures twenty-six centimetres long.  The models have a declared height of ten and a half centimetres.

Haolonggood Iguanodon models are coming into stock at Everything Dinosaur. The inventory will include the brown coloured Iguanodon (Tao Zong Wang).

Mike commented that it was wonderful to see a modern interpretation of the second dinosaur to be scientifically described.  The two colour variants (grey and brown) are on the same shipment as the new Torosaurus and Shantungosaurus models.  The shipment is certainly ornithischian heavy!

Haolonggood Iguanodon Model Colour Variants

Although each version is the same sculpt, the colour schemes are very different.  Each Iguanodon has a different name.

• Tao Zong Wang – brown-coloured, 1:35 scale figure.
• Zheng Tian Shou – grey-coloured, 1:35 scale figure.

Sue from Everything Dinosaur added:

“We have stocked a large number of different Iguanodon models in the past.  This is one taxon that has been revised on numerous occasions.  The kangaroo stance may have gone, and we are back to depicting these Early Cretaceous herbivores as quadrupeds.  Perhaps, one day we will write a blog post highlighting how Iguanodon models have changed.”

Two, new for 2025 Haolonggood Torosaurus dinosaur models are coming into stock soon. These ceratopsian models are in 1:35 scale.  Haolonggood have produced several ceratopsian figures recently.  These two new Torosaurus models are a welcome addition to their exciting model range.

Haolonggood Torosaurus Dinosaur Models

These are fabulous ceratopsian figures.  Fantastic replicas of these Late Cretaceous, giant chasmosaurines.  The debate as to whether Torosaurus (T. latus) represents an extremely mature Triceratops continues. However, most palaeontologists consider the Torosaurus taxon is valid.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Haolonggood have produced a wide range of horned dinosaur figures.  For example, Triceratops, Utahceratops, Chasmosaurus, Diabloceratops and Kosmoceratops.  These beautifully painted models have proved popular with dinosaur fans and collectors. We are looking forward to getting these two Torosaurus models into stock.”

Haolonggood Euhelopus Figures

These models measure twenty-six and a half centimetres in length.  Those majestic heads are approximately eighteen and a half centimetres off the ground.  Everything Dinosaur supplies a free fact sheet on Euhelopus.

Euhelopus fossils are known from Lower Cretaceous deposits from the Chinese coastal province of Shandong. It had a disproportionately long neck, and its forelimbs were longer than its hindlimbs, giving this sauropod a sloping back.  Size estimates vary.  For example, the Everything Dinosaur Euhelopus fact sheet cites a body weight range from 3, 500 kilograms to 15,000 kilograms.

The Term “Comb. nov.“

In 1929, Swedish palaeontologist Carl Wiman originally described and named the dinosaur Helopus, meaning “Marsh Foot.” He derived the name from the Greek words helos (meaning swamp), and pous (meaning foot). Therefore, the dinosaur’s name references both the marshy site where the fossils were discovered and Swedish swamp shoes that, according to Wiman, resembled the animal’s wide feet. However, the name Helopus was already in use for a bird species, as the Caspian tern had been named Helopus caspius.  The Latin term “comb. nov.” is associated with the Euhelopus taxon.  This stands for “Combinatio nova“, reflecting the fact that the formal, binomial name for this dinosaur was a new scientific name created from a pre-existing name for this animal.

Two colour variants of the Euhelopus will be available. The figure (left) is the brown-coloured Euhelopus Jiang Jing. Yang Chun the grey-coloured Euhelopus is on the right.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“It is wonderful to have a Chinese company making models of Chinese dinosaurs.  We are looking forward to getting these two fabulous sauropod figures into stock.”
