Everything Dinosaur team members are expecting to hear news of their latest shipment of Haolonggood dinosaur models.  The vessel carrying our shipment should be docking at the port this week.  We should be getting these exciting new figures delivered to our warehouse in about seven days or so.  Perhaps they will arrive sooner.  The shipment contains several new Haolonggood scale models including the Haolonggood Camarasaurus models.

Two New Haolonggood Camarasaurus Models

The two, new for late 2024 Haolonggood Camarasaurus models will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur soon.  These dinosaurs measure around forty-five centimetres in length.  The head height is twenty-one centimetres.  Haolonggood has a declared a scale of 1:35 for their Camarasaurus figures.  Peng Qi is the name of the predominantly green coloured model, whilst Han Tao is the name of the brown coloured Camarasaurus.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Sue and I are looking forward to the arrival of these two new Camarasaurus replicas.  In total, we have ten new Haolonggood figures arriving.  In addition, we will be stocking their popular Spinosaurus models for the first time.”

The Camarasaurus Genus

Fossils of this sauropod are known from the Morrison Formation of the western United States. An enormous amount of Camarasaurus fossil material has been found. It is regarded as the most abundant sauropod known to date from the Morrison.  Its fossils are associated with a number of Morrison Formation members.

The Camarasaurus genus currently contains four valid species. Camarasaurus lentus, Camarasaurus grandis, Camarasaurus lewisi and the type species Camarasaurus supremus. The largest species and geologically the youngest is C. supremus. Palaeontologists have estimated that this plant-eating dinosaur measured over twenty metres in length. The fossils of Camarasaurus supremus are associated with the youngest member of the Morrison Formation – the Brushy Basin Member.

It was named and scientifically described by the American palaeontologist Edward Drinker Cope (1877). The scientific description of the Camarasaurus genus occurred at the height of the infamous “bone wars” between Cope and his bitter rival Othniel Charles Marsh.

Customers who purchase the Haolonggood Camarasaurus models will be sent a free Everything Dinosaur Camarasaurus fact sheet.

A pair of new Haolonggood Triceratops models have been announced. These horned dinosaur figures will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur shortly.  The new ceratopsians are part of a growing range of Haolonggood ornithischian dinosaurs.  For example, Everything Dinosaur already stocks several Haolonggood chasmosaurine replicas including Kosmoceratops and the beautiful Chasmosaurus figures.

Two colour variants will be available.  Haolonggood will be introducing a green variant and a second figure, which is the same sculpt but in a predominantly grey colour scheme.  Both models will measure around twenty-three centimetres in length.  Those magnificent head shields will be around six centimetres off the ground.  Like most of the other Haolonggood prehistoric animal figures in stock, these models will be in 1/35th scale.

Haolonggood will be adding a pair of Triceratops figures to the model range.

Mike, from the UK-based mail order company commented:

“These are two splendid models of horned dinosaurs. They look extremely detailed, and we can’t wait to bring them into stock.”

The Haolonggood Ceratopsian Figures

Haolonggood have introduced several different horned dinosaur figures.  They represent both chasmosaurines and members of the other subfamily of the Ceratopsia, the Centrosaurinae.

The Haolonggood horned dinosaur range includes:

• Chasmosaurus (Zou Run and Zou Yuan).
• Kosmoceratops (Cai Fu and Cai Qing).
• Pentaceratops (Li Kui and Liou Tang).

These figures represent chasmosaurines.

The centrosaurines in the Haolonggood range currently include:

• Sinoceratops (Lei Heng and Zhu Tong).
• Nasutoceratops (Hua Rong and Van Qing).
• Pachyrhinosaurus (Lv Fang and Guo Sheng)

Other horned dinosaurs are also expected to join the Haolonggood range such as Styracosaurus and Einiosaurus.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur added:

“It is wonderful to see more models of plant-eating dinosaurs introduced by Haolonggood.”

It has been confirmed that Haolonggood will add another ceratopsian to their exciting 1:35 scale model range.  A pair of Xenoceratops figures are to be introduced.  The Haolonggood Xenoceratops models are called Yan Lin and Yan Shun.  These figures will essentially be the same sculpt but each will have a different colour scheme.

Haolonggood Xenoceratops Models

Back in the spring, Haolonggood announced that they intended to introduce fifteen new figures. Five of these new figures were horned dinosaurs. The pair of Xenoceratops figures are the latest ceratopsians to be introduced following the addition of a Chasmosaurus pair. Unlike Chasmosaurus, Xenoceratops (X. foremostensis) is a member of the Centrosaurinae. It was named and described in 2012 (Ryan, Evans and Shepherd).

Xenoceratops translates as “alien horned face”.  This dinosaur was not named because the ornamentation sported on the neck frill made this dinosaur look like an alien. The explanation is somewhat more mundane. Its fossils come from the Foremost Formation and, dinosaur fossils are sparse. It is the only horned dinosaur described to date from remains associated with the Foremost Formation.

Spectacular Dinosaur Models

Mike from Everything Dinosaur welcomed these new figures and commented:

“These are spectacular horned dinosaur models.  Ceratopsians are popular with collectors, and we think that these two Xenoceratops models are going to be a big success.  Moreover, we hope to have them in stock soon.”

Our thanks to prehistoric animal figure collector Carl who sent into Everything Dinosaur some photos of his new Haolonggood Mamenchisaurus models.  Recently, Haolonggood added three colour variants of the iconic Chinese sauropod Mamenchisaurus to their range.  The brown-coloured figure is referred to as Zhu Wu. Furthermore, the green-coloured model is known as Chai Jin. In addition, there is the Haolonggood Mamenchisaurus model (heterochromatic edition). All three models are popular with dinosaur fans and collectors.

Haolonggood Mamenchisaurus Models

Each 1:35 scale figure measures around sixty-six centimetres in length. The head height is approximately twenty-eight centimetres. These are amazing replicas of a taxon that was formally described seventy years ago (Young, 1954).  Carl has used some CollectA prehistoric plant models in his sauropod model display.  The three giant herbivores are browsing on cycads.  These dinosaurs had huge appetites and spent much of their time eating.  We suspect that the Williamsonia and smaller cycads will also be on the menu.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur thanked Carl for emailing the images.  He praised the creative use of the CollectA prehistoric plants to create a scene depicting sauropods feeding.

He added:

“I like the composition!  These sauropods probably moved around in herds, and they would have spent a lot of time feeding. Their long necks enabled them to reach food sources that other herbivores could not.  Food sources such as the top of cycad trees for example.  We also enjoy seeing how creative our customers can be with dinosaur models and replicas of prehistoric plants.  It is wonderful to see all the dioramas and scenes that they create.”
