Haolonggood have given Everything Dinosaur permission to publish details about new prehistoric animal model introductions.  We can reveal details of the next fifteen new dinosaur models to be made.  All of these dinosaurs are herbivores.  There are no theropods.  There are no carnivorous dinosaurs planned, at least for the next few months.

Fifteen New Dinosaur Models

The fifteen new dinosaur models from Haolonggood represent three sauropods and five horned dinosaurs.  In addition, there are five members of the Thyreophora (armoured dinosaurs).  The other two dinosaurs are members of the Saurolophinae subfamily of hadrosaurs (Maiasaura and Edmontosaurus).  The majority of the models represent dinosaurs that lived during the Cretaceous and roamed North America.

The full list:

• Mamenchisaurus – known from the Late Jurassic of Asia (China).
• Amargasaurus – a South American member of the Dicraeosauridae from the Early Cretaceous of Argentina.
• Camarasaurus – associated with the famous Morrison Formation of the western United States.
• Huayangosaurus – a primitive stegosaur from the Middle Jurassic of southwestern China.
• Saichania – named after the “Saichan-tue” mountains of the Gobi Desert. Fossils of Saichania come from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia.
• Gastonia – from the Yellow Cat Member of the Lower Cedar Mountain Formation of Utah (Early Cretaceous).
• Euoplocephalus – named in 1910 (Lambe) and known from Montana and Alberta (Late Cretaceous).
• Maiasaura – “Good Mother Lizard” from the Late Cretaceous of western Canada and the USA.
• Edmontosaurus – a large genus of hadrosaur from North America (Late Cretaceous).
• Diabloceratops – known from Utah, Diabloceratops was the first centrosaurine dinosaur to be described from fossils found south of Montana.
• Utahceratops – from the Late Cretaceous of Utah with the trivial name honouring palaeontologist Mike Getty.
• Styracosaurus – known from the USA and Alberta Canada, the famous centrosaurine called “Spiked Lizard”.
• Einiosaurus – from the Two Medicine Formation of Montana (USA) another Late Cretaceous North American ceratopsid.
• Xenoceratops – “Alien Horned Face” from the Upper Cretaceous beds of the Foremost Formation in Alberta (Canada).

Everything Dinosaur Comments

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur praised Haolonggood for focusing on the production of herbivorous dinosaur models.

The spokesperson added:

“These are fifteen splendid dinosaur models.  They should all be in stock by the end of this year.  We look forward to further dinosaur model announcements from Haolonggood.”

Everything Dinosaur will be stocking the new for 2024 PNSO Lufengosaurus dinosaur model.  This model is due to arrive at the company’s warehouse in a few weeks.  The figure, entitled Yiran the Lufengosaurus, demonstrates how far the company has come since their first Lufengosaurus model was introduced.

PNSO Lufengosaurus Dinosaur Model

The new Lufengosaurus figure has been beautifully painted.  Everything Dinosaur has worked with PNSO for many years and ironically, one of the first dinosaur models that PNSO produced was a Lufengosaurus.  The original model was depicted as a quadruped.  However, most palaeontologists consider Lufengosaurus (L. huenei) to have walked on its hind legs for most of the time.  The forelimbs are considerably shorter when compared to the length of this dinosaur’s legs.  In addition, the long neck and widely spaced, peg-like teeth in the jaw suggest that this dinosaur browsed on the branches of trees.

Model Measurements

The new Lufengosaurus figure has already been praised by dinosaur model collectors.  The model measures around twenty-five cm long and it stands nearly eleven centimetres tall.  Although know from dozens of fossil specimens, how big Lufengosaurus huenei was remains uncertain.  It could have measured more than nine metres in length.  However, many vertebrate palaeontologists consider the more conservative body length of six metres more likely.  Based on a six-metre-long animal, this new PNSO Lufengosaurus is in approximately 1:24 scale.  If Lufengosaurus did reach a length of nine metres, this figure would be in approximately 1:36 scale.

The new Lufengosaurus model measures 25 cm long.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur stated that the new Lufengosaurus model was included in the next shipment of PNSO models and figures.  Whilst a definitive delivery date could not be given at this stage, it was likely that the Lufengosaurus would be in stock in about five to six weeks.
