A Large Range of Haolonggood Dinosaur Models

Haolonggood continue to produce detailed dinosaur models.  Most of the figures are in 1:35 scale.  Congratulations to the Haolonggood design team.

Sue from Everything Dinosaur stated:

“All these new figures are now available from Everything Dinosaur.  We have been busy contacting all those customers that wanted to be informed when these wonderful models arrived.”

The Everything Dinosaur website: Prehistoric Animal Toys and Gifts.

The two, new for 2025 Haolonggood Euhelopus figures will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur soon.  Both the brown and grey coloured versions will be arriving at the company’s warehouse shortly.  These replicas of an Early Cretaceous sauropod are in 1:35 scale.

The new for 2025 Haolonggood Euhelopus dinosaur models.

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.”

Everything Dinosaur team members confirm that the company will be stocking the new Haolonggood Saurolophus models. Both colour versions will be stocked.  These duck-billed dinosaur figures will be available in a few weeks.

The two Saurolophus models are:

• Yue He (the brown Saurolophus figure).
• Song Qing (the grey Saurolophus figure).

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Hadrosaurs tend to be under-represented in most model collections.  It is great to see a pair of Saurolophus models being added to the Haolonggood model range.”

Everything Dinosaur has confirmed that they will be stocking the new Haolonggood T. rex models.  These 1:35 scale tyrannosaur figures are due to be in stock later this spring. Dinosaur model fans can choose from the brown-coloured variant (Chao Gai) or the grey variant (Lu Jun Yi).  Both models measure approximately thirty-three centimetres in length.

Haolonggood T. rex Models

There is one other Late Cretaceous tyrannosaurid dinosaur currently represented in the Haolonggood range.  The company has already produced a replica of Daspletosaurus (D. torosus). The Haolonggood Daspletosaurus models (Lu Zhi Sheng and Wu Song) also have a declared scale of 1:35. However, the new for 2025 Haolonggood Tyrannosaurus rex figures are about four centimetres longer.  This is in keeping with current scientific evidence that indicates that T. rex was larger than the geologically older Daspletosaurus taxon.

Haolonggood Brachiosaurus Figures

Each Brachiosaurus model measures fifty-nine cm in length. The head height is thirty-nine cm. Furthermore, these Haolonggood Brachiosaurus figures have a declared scale of 1:35. The Brachiosaurus figures are fantastic sauropod models. Everything Dinosaur supplies the Haolonggood Brachiosaurus models with a free Brachiosaurus fact sheet.  In addition, each Brachiosaurus figure will include a free Huayangosaurus model. Please note, we cannot specify which colour variant will be in each box.

Each special-edition Brachiosaurus model is supplied with a free Haolonggood Huayangosaurus armoured dinosaur model.

The picture (above) shows the two colour variant options of the Haolonggood armoured dinosaur figure (Huayangosaurus).

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We can now put all three special Haolonggood Brachiosaurus models on general sale. These sauropod models are huge and beautifully detailed.  Once these figures have been sold, we will not be able to provide any future Haolonggood Brachiosaurus figures with a free Huayangosaurus model.”

Today is “Mother’s Day” a day to celebrate and honour mums around the world.  This day is also known as “Mothering Sunday” not every country recognises this day as a special occasion for mothers. For example, in Germany, “Mother’s Day” is celebrated in the second week of May. However, today we have an excuse to write about the remarkable member of the Hadrosauridae – Maiasaura.  Indeed, we can highlight the Haolonggood Maiasaura models that were introduced last year (2024).

Haolonggood in recognition of “Good Mother Lizard” supplied each adult Maiasaura with an accompanying juvenile figure.

Haolonggood Maiasaura Models

Haolonggood introduced two colour variants of Maiasaura (M. peeblesorum).  Both adult models are supplied with a juvenile Maiasaura figure.

In the image (above) the green coloured adult is Chun Hui. In contrast, there is also a Haolonggood Maiasaura model with a purple coloured tail.  This figure is referred to as Hua Di.

To view the range of Haolonggood figures in stock at Everything Dinosaur: Haolonggood Prehistoric Animal Models.

Maiasaura is a member of the Hadrosauridae subfamily Saurolophinae. The first fossil evidence of this dinosaur was uncovered in the Badlands of Montana (USA) in 1978. The fossil material is associated with the Two Medicine Formation (Upper Cretaceous). The location consisted of numerous dinosaur nests, eggs, baby Maiasaura, adults and juveniles. The location was renamed “Egg Mountain” and represents the fossilised remains of a Maiasaura peeblesorum nesting site.

Maiasaura was formally named and described by Jack Horner and Robert Makela (1979). The name means “Good Mother Lizard” and in contrast with the majority of the Dinosauria, it takes the female form of the Latin term for lizard – saura.  This location provided the first documented evidence that dinosaurs raised and fed their young.  Maiasaura babies were altricial.  This means that they required significant parental care.  These ornithopods were dedicated and devoted parents.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“The altricial behaviour of Maiasaura peeblesorum, characterised by the care and nurturing of their young, suggests a level of dedication and commitment to their offspring that is reminiscent of most mammalian parenting, including our own species.”

Happy Mother’s Day.

Everything Dinosaur is expecting the two new Haolonggood Utahceratops figures to arrive next month (March 2025).  They are in the same shipment as the two new Haolonggood Styracosaurus models. In addition, the Brachiosaurus, Majungasaurus and the Concavenator models are also expected.  A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur confirmed that as soon as the dinosaur models had been checked into stock, customers on waitlists will be emailed.

He added:

“We are looking forward to receiving this shipment, especially the ceratopsians.  Haolonggood have added several horned dinosaurs to their model range.  These figures have proved to be extremely popular with collectors.  We even have had academics and palaeontologists asking after them.”

The Haolonggood Utahceratops Figures

There are two colour variants.  Firstly, the brown Utahceratops known as Gong Wang.  The other Utahceratops has a green colouration.  It has been named Ding De Sun.  Both models measure seventeen centimetres long and have a frill height of ten centimetres. Moreover, they have a declared scale of 1:35.

Utahceratops (U. gettyi) fossils come from the Kaiparowits Formation (Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Utah). It is regarded as a basal member of the Chasmosaurinae subfamily of the Ceratopsidae. Utahceratops was formally named and described in 2010 (Sampson et al).

The genus names honours the state of Utah. The species name is a tribute to the late Mike Getty who discovered the holotype UMNH VP 16784. Mike also made a significant contribution to the plotting of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and the excavation of the relatively abundant vertebrate fossils associated with this area.

Two new for 2025 Haolonggood Utahceratops models are coming into stock at Everything Dinosaur.

Beautiful Markings

The two new Utahceratops figures have been beautifully painted.  The large neck frills show amazing detail.  The design team at Haolonggood are to be congratulated for their attention to detail and for the flamboyant markings on the neck frills.

The spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur continued:

“The frills are particularly impressive.  They are covered in a variety of different sized scales.  The intricate paint scheme gives each figure two large blue spots on the frill.  The two Utahceratops figures with their colourful frills and flashes of blue remind me of the eyespots seen on peacock tail feathers.”

The display bases are superb. They are ideal for displaying small and medium-sized prehistoric animal models.  The two Haolonggood Triceratops figures look very much at home on the Rebor bases.

Sue from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“The Haolonggood Triceratops models look absolutely brilliant. Their vibrant details compliment the Rebor model display bases. It is a great dinosaur diorama on a shelf.”

The two, new for 2025 Haolonggood Concavenator figures are due to be in stock at Everything Dinosaur shortly. These models are in 1:35 scale.  These stunning figures are part of a shipment of Haolonggood models due to arrive at the Everything Dinosaur warehouse next month (March 2025).  A spokesperson from the UK-based mail order company confirmed that both colour variants would be available.

The New for 2025 Haolonggood Concavenator Figures

These two, new theropods are the same sculpt.  However, two colour variants are offered.  The green and yellow variant is named Li Li.  It has bright red humps. In contrast, the darker coloured figure (Li Yun) has orange flashes on its humps.  This feature is in keeping with the orange colouration of the model’s tail.

Each figure measures sixteen and half centimetres long.  The head height of each model is a little over seven centimetres.

Concavenator corcovatus

Concavenator corcovatus is known from the Early Cretaceous of Spain. It was scientifically described in 2010 (Ortega et al). This theropod has been assigned to the Carcharodontosauria clade and is estimated to have been about six metres in length. It was described from a single, partially complete and articulated fossil specimen (MCCM-LH 6666).

The elongated neural spines indicated the presence of a sail-like structure over the hips. It is not known what function this feature played. However, it is thought to have been primarily used for visual display. This idea is reinforced by the two Haolonggood Concavenator figures. Both models have brightly coloured humps.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented that these new theropod figures were on the same shipment as some other new Haolonggood figures.  The Styracosaurus, Utahceratops and Majungasaurus models were all due to arrive in the same container as the Concavenators.

Today, we can announce that Everything Dinosaur will be stocking the three new for 2025 Haolonggood Brachiosaurus models. The Brachiosaurus figures are in 1:35 scale and each figure will be supplied with a free Huayangosaurus model.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur confirmed that there were three model colour variants to choose from.  All three Haolonggood Brachiosaurus models will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur in the spring.  At this time, Everything Dinosaur cannot confirm the price of each model, but they are going to be cheaper than the recent Haolonggood Argentinosaurus models.

Which Brachiosaurus Model Do You Want?

There are three figures to choose from:

• Haolonggood Brachiosaurus Song Wan (HLG157) a mainly brown colour variant.
• Haolonggood Brachiosaurus Du Qian (HLG158) a mainly green colour variant.
• The special colour edition Brachiosaurus (HLG159) which is mainly grey.

It is likely that the HLG159 figure will be withdrawn from production after the completion of the initial batch of models.
