A shipment of new Haolonggood dinosaur models has arrived at Everything Dinosaur. This new delivery includes the two new Camarasaurus models.  In addition, there are armoured dinosaur figures (Stegosaurus and Saichania).  Horned dinosaurs are represented too.  The shipment also included the pair of Diabloceratops dinosaur models (Fan Rui and Bao Xu).

The image (above) shows some of the recent arrivals at Everything Dinosaur’s warehouse.  The Haolonggood range of prehistoric animal figures has grown rapidly over the last two years.  This latest shipment includes the impressive sauropods Camarasaurus and Amargasaurus.  Team members have been busy alerting all those collectors and dinosaur fans who wanted to be informed about arrivals.

Haolonggood Dinosaur Models and Spinosaurus Too!

The shipment also contained the two Haolonggood Spinosaurus models. A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented that it was pleasing to see these theropod models come into stock.

The spokesperson added:

“Haolonggood dinosaur models are extremely popular.  Their range of figures has grown dramatically, and we are delighted to bring into stock all these exciting dinosaur models.”

The two Spinosaurus models are essentially the same sculpt.  However, there are two different colour schemes.  The model named Lv Yi is predominantly green.  In contrast, the figure known as Chen Feng has a reddish hue. Fittingly, these are large models. Each Spinosaurus measures around forty centimetres in length. That magnificent sail is around thirteen centimetres off the ground.  These figures have a declared scale of 1:35. Perhaps, Haolonggood will one day make a 1:35 scale replica of Tyrannosaurus rex.

So, the news about the introduction of the Haolonggood Argentinosaurus models has broken.  These are amazing figures, and they are big and when we say big, we really mean huge.  Each model measures around eight-five centimetres in length.  The head height is fifty centimetres.  In imperial measurements, these enormous models are over thirty-three inches long with a head height of nearly twenty inches.  These most certainly are impressive replicas of Argentinosaurus huinculensis!

Haolonggood sent us an image of their current sauropod models.  We added the annotation so, you can see how big the Argentinosaurus model is.

The Haolonggood Argentinosaurus Models

Four models are planned.  They are the same sculpt but different colour schemes.

• HLG-129 (predominately grey)
• HLG-130 (predominately brown)
• HLG-131 (predominately green)
• 001 – limited-edition figure (purple hue)

These figures will be supplied with a complimentary 1:35 scale Huayangosaurus, playing/collector cards and 5 posters.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“These models are stunning!  However, they are extremely large, collectors will have to make quite a bit of space on their shelves to accommodate one of these sauropod figures.”

The box dimensions are approximately 98 x 44 x 21 cm. We estimate shipping weight will be about 9 kilos. However, the volumetric weight prices charged by the shipping/delivery companies are going to make shipping expensive.  Our advice is to be careful when buying direct from China. Shipping costs are likely to be high and cartons of this size may attract additional duties and taxes.

Good news for UK customers is that shipping would be £7.99 GBP (we think).  As for our global customers, we can send this model out to collectors around the world including the USA and Europe.  Customers in Europe can relax, our parcels are sent out delivery duty paid and there will be no extra VAT due.

A Free Huayangosaurus Figure

The Haolonggood Argentinosaurus models come with a range of accessories.

Each of the first batch of Haolonggood Argentinosaurus models will be supplied with a free Huayangosaurus figure.  In addition, there are playing/collector cards and five posters included.

Mike confirmed that only the first batch of Haolonggood Argentinosaurus figures would be supplied with the accessories.

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.

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.

The beautifully painted Haolonggood Triceratops models.  Two colour variants will be available.  There is a green variant (left) and a grey-coloured model (right).

Haolonggood Triceratops Models

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.

The new for 2024 Haolonggood Xenoceratops models. Yan Lin (left) and Yan Shun (right). These models are approximately 1:35 scale.

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).

To read Everything Dinosaur’s earlier blog post about the fifteen new Haolonggood figures: Fifteen New Dinosaur Models Planned by Haolonggood.

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.”

Our thanks to dinosaur model collector William, who sent into Everything Dinosaur a Haolonggood Carnotaurus model review.  The review focuses upon the brown-coloured Li Zhong Haolonggood Carnotaurus.  The reviewer explained that he enjoyed collecting dinosaur models in pairs and considered Li Zhong to represent a female Carnotaurus.  A review of the other Carnotaurus figure, the grey-coloured version (Zhou Tong) was published on this blog last month.

Li Zhong – A Haolonggood Carnotaurus Model Review

William congratulated the design team at Haolonggood for making such an excellent theropod figure.  The detailed design was commented upon.  This dinosaur model has an articulated lower jaw, and it measures a little under twenty-three centimetres in length.  The Haolonggood Carnotaurus has a declared scale of 1:35.

The reviewer stated:

“I consider Li Zhong to be a female. Her beautiful earth tones would have been well suited to stand watch over a nest during the day, whilst her mate Zhou Tong guarded the nest at night whilst she hunted.”

William added:

“This is a great figure and a rather classy Carnotaurus sastrei figure.”

A Reliable Supplier of Prehistoric Animal Models

The reviewer concluded the review by praising Everything Dinosaur.  The UK-based mail order company is a reliable supplier of prehistoric animal models.  He wanted to give “praise where praise is due” to Mike and Sue and Everything Dinosaur. Helping to provide a wide range of prehistoric animal collectible figures and ensuring a swift delivery of parcels, Everything Dinosaur had built up a deserved reputation for excellent customer service.
