Haolonggood Asks for Feedback from Customers

Everything Dinosaur has been contacted by Haolonggood with a request to provide feedback. Our Chinese chums would like to know what people think of the Haolonggood dinosaur models. Customers of Everything Dinosaur are aware of how well-connected team members are. We are happy to pass on comments and feedback on behalf of our customers. In addition, Haolonggood have asked for some suggestions for new dinosaur figures. We would be delighted to pass on these suggestions.

Feedback on Haolonggood Dinosaur Models

The team at Haolonggood have asked two specific questions:

  • What do our customers like about Haolonggood models?
  • What other dinosaur models would you like Haolonggood to develop?

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented that it was always helpful to receive feedback from customers. Manufacturers also benefitted from comments made by customers and dinosaur model fans.

The spokesperson added:

“Haolonggood were keen to listen to model collectors and they recently amended their Ouranosaurus figure, improving the manus. The changes were made in line with customer expectations.”

New Model Suggestions

Haolonggood have challenged model collectors to propose new figures for their extensive range. Everything Dinosaur is looking forward to passing on the suggestions. The company has received several already, quite an eclectic range, more theropods as well as ornithischians.

Which dinosaurs would you like Haolonggood to make a model of? Perhaps you would want to see more carnivorous dinosaurs with lips, or maybe you might want to see a marine reptile or pterosaur figure?

We look forward to passing on the feedback.

New CollectA Models for 2024 – Part 2

By |2023-11-09T23:14:21+00:00November 10th, 2023|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur in collaboration with CollectA makes the second announcement about new for 2024 CollectA prehistoric animal models. Today, we can introduce two new CollectA dinosaurs namely:

  • A CollectA Deluxe 1:100 scale Dreadnoughtus.
  • CollectA Deluxe Velociraptor in 1:6 scale.

The CollectA Deluxe Dreadnoughtus is scheduled to be in stock at Everything Dinosaur early in 2024. Dinosaur fans will have to wait a little longer for the new Velociraptor figure. It is expected later in the year.

CollectA Deluxe Dreadnoughtus

Formally named and described in 2014 (Lacovara et al), Dreadnoughtus (D. schrani) is one of the largest terrestrial vertebrates known to science. Most super-sized titanosaurs are described from fragmentary material. Dreadnoughtus is an exception, approximately 45% of the skeleton was recovered. These fossils have provided palaeontologists with new information on the anatomy of giant dinosaurs.

Dreadnoughtus model scars.
The Dreadnoughtus fossil material comes from the Cerro Fortaleza Formation and there are theropods known from these deposits too, but not super-sized carnivores. The megaraptoran Orkoraptor is probably the largest carnivorous dinosaur, scars on the legs of Dreadnoughtus indicate attacks from packs of these animals, but they did not really stand much chance of bringing this huge dinosaur down.

The new for 2024 CollectA Deluxe 1:100 scale Dreadnoughtus measures 32 cm in length and that beautiful head stands approximately 23.5 cm off the ground.

CollectA Deluxe Velociraptor

Next year (2024) marks the centenary of the scientific description of Velociraptor. This famous dinosaur (Velociraptor mongoliensis) was first described in 1924 (Osborn). To commemorate the hundred years since this dinosaur was first named, CollectA have introduced a 1:6 scale figure that reflects the very latest research.

The CollectA Deluxe Velociraptor depicts this iconic dinosaur as an extremely agile and active animal. The plumage has been updated and the Velociraptor figure sports a propatagium, a flap of soft tissue linking the wrists to the shoulders, a feature it shares with living birds that can fly.

New CollectA Models for 2024 – Part 1

Everything Dinosaur can confirm that the first of the new CollectA prehistoric animals for 2024 to be announced is the CollectA Deluxe Dearc sgiathanach. This pterosaur model will be approximately 1:3 scale and it will have an articulated lower jaw.

CollectA Deluxe Dearc sgiathanach.

CollectA Deluxe Dearc sgiathanach

Dearc sgiathanach (pronounced jark ski-an-ach), is one of the largest pterosaurs described to date from Jurassic strata. The wingspan of this flying reptile may have been in excess of 2.5 metres. It was scientifically described in 2022 (Jagielska et al), and it has been assigned to the Rhamphorhynchidae family.

To read Everything Dinosaur’s blog post from February 2022 about this pterosaur: Fantastic Pterosaur Fossil from the Isle of Skye.

Model Measurements

The figure measures thirty-nine centimetres in length and it stands 15.5 cm tall. It is part of the CollectA Deluxe range of pterosaurs. This series has won praise for its depiction of a wide variety of flying reptiles, not just well-known pterosaurs such as Pteranodon, but also lesser-known genera such as Caiuajara and Caviramus.

The new for 2024 CollectA Deluxe Dearc sgiathanach is due to be in stock at Everything Dinosaur in early 2024, probably around March (2024).

Isle of Skye Flag Inspires Colouration

The dentition and location of the fossil find indicate that this pterosaur was probably a piscivore. It may have had a similar position in the Middle Jurassic ecosystem as today’s extant northern Gannet (Morus bassanus). This seabird is extremely common on the Isle of Skye. The markings and colouration of this new CollectA model were also inspired by the flag of the Isle of Skye. The white circle around the eye of the model reflects a white circle that features on the island’s flag.

Dearc had acute vision, the bright colours chosen for the tail and for the top of the head suggests that visual cues helped this animal communicate with others of its kind.

The Triceratops kit allows young palaeontologists to excavate a complete miniature Triceratops skeleton. The challenge is to dig the skeleton out of the plaster block using the special digging tools. The Triceratops skeleton excavation kit is supplied with an Everything Dinosaur Triceratops fact sheet.

Everything Dinosaur stocks the Haolonggood Ouranosaurus dinosaur model. However, do our models have the updated manus (hand)? Do the Everything Dinosaur Haolonggood Ouranosaurus figures possess the anatomically accurate hand?

Yes, they do, and team members set about creating a short YouTube video to proof it.

Both the green Ouranosaurus figure (WuJu) and the brown figure (WuWei) are in stock. In our short YouTube video (it is under six minutes long), we explain Ouranosaurus classification. We confirm that this dinosaur is not closely related to Iguanodon bernissartensis. Most palaeontologists classify Ouranosaurus nigeriensis as a basal hadrosauriform.

In the video, we examine the fossil evidence that led to the Haolonggood Ouranosaurus figure being changed and provided with an updated manus.

The Haolonggood Nasutoceratops dinosaur models are in stock at Everything Dinosaur. YanQing the blue/grey Nasutoceratops is available along with HuaRong the brown-coloured version. The Haolonggood range of dinosaurs includes other ceratopsians such as Pachyrhinosaurus and Pentaceratops,

Nasutoceratops (N. titusi) was formally described in 2013 (Sampson et al). It is regarded as a basal centrosaurine and dates from the late Campanian stage of the Cretaceous. It roamed what is now known as Utah around 76 to 75 million years ago.

To read Everything Dinosaur’s blog post about the discovery of this dinosaur: A New Large-nosed Centrosaurine from Utah.

The Haolonggood Nasutoceratops Dinosaur Models

Both the Nasutoceratops figures are supplied with Everything Dinosaur Nasutoceratops fact sheets. Each model measures 17 cm long, and that beautiful neck frill is some 7.5 cm off the ground. The scale reported for these figures are 1:35. However, with a body length estimated at under five metres, we at Everything Dinosaur would suggest a scale of around 1:27 or 1:30 might be more appropriate.
