275: Haolonggood (好龙谷）Baryonyx 2023 Review

[@MrRajithasandaruwan]

As always, Haolonggood is back with a banger. And this time it's "heavy claw". It seems like this model was made in a hurry. In my opinion, this goes well with their allosaurus figure for having that cartoonish face. Even though I don't have it, I think Safari Baryonyx is the most scientifically accurate Baryonyx figure out there. I don't know if I'm right or wrong. But by the looks of it, it looks more natural with that skin texture and color scheme. For a company that is trying to make its figures as scientifically accurate as possible, this figure looks way more JPish. Even though I'm not a huge fan of this figure, I really like that crocodile-like underbelly, the hands, the feet, and those color schemes. But those spikes don't match the body, and greenish eyes would be perfect for this Baryonyx. And, my dear sir, that Irritator figure is without a doubt one of the most gorgeous figures ever. Now that comparison is impressive.❤ I know I don't have this figure, and maybe this looks way more pleasing if one has it in hand. So I'll leave the door open for the future. Thank you so much for this wonderful review, my dear sir. I am eagerly waiting for the next review.🖤

Actually, I didn't say it in the video, but it almost feels like this is a step back toward the Allosaurus, but I thought that would be too unfair. That Allosaurus was really way off. As for the spikes, it's interesting but quite a few people actually don't like it. I grew up on artists who did add some so it's never really bothered me that much. I really have to get some money going to get the Safari. Been putting off for too long. My only issue with these other mainstream companies even when their models are good, are the oversized feet.

This figure is quite dope, we need more Baryonyx figures personally Though ngl I would still purchase the Safari LTD cause its my favorite, overall amaizng review. Hope you had a great day

[@DinosDragons]

Thanks for your comment! The Safari has been on my radar for a long time. I just never had the spare cash to pick one up lol! I think that would be a nice addition to any spinosaurid lover's collection for sure!

[@ethanlee8621]

I would LOVE for Haolonggood to do pterosaurs in two poses: one flying and one swimming. I'd buy the crap out of those it's not even funny.

[@DinosDragons]

I think it's high time we had a good dinosaur of HLG or PNSO quality! Last one I had was the GR Toys Quetzalcoatlus. Would love to have one good representative at least!

[@paleo-logica]

Fue toda una sorpresa que Haolonggood sacara un Baryonyx en tan poco tiempo y pese a los "fallos" con el cierre de la mandíbula, es una muy buena pieza para todos los amantes de Baryonyx, que seguro que no son pocos. Un excelente análisis y muy veloz, cómo siempre 😊🙏🏼

[@DinosDragons]

¡Gracias! Aunque casi no tengo ningún interés por los terópodos, los espinosáuridos siempre me han fascinado, especialmente sus cráneos y mandíbulas. Diré que esta sigue siendo una de las mejores bariónix producidas en masa. Entonces, si puedes pasar por alto algunos defectos menores, ¡aún así vale la pena adquirirlo!

[@paleo-logica]

@@DinosDragons Totalmente de acuerdo. Por lo visto, Haolonggood ha mostrado capturas de la siguiente línea de producción de esta figura en las que han corregido los problemas de cierre de la boca. Parecen siempre preocupados por mejorar y escuchar a sus clientes. Bien por ellos 👏🏼

[@Arnoldiepin]

the colour on the green/brown one is fantastic. Even though excessive crocodilian transplant vis CollectA Baryonyx seems crude and to miss the point, using these colours somehow fits extremely well

[@DinosDragons]

HLG has always been really good about their paint applications since their comeback. It would be nice if they could either leave off the white lines, or else blend them in better in future, though!

[@rafaelgavronski_]

one of my favorite dinosaurs, I just bought my baryonyx

[@DinosDragons]

This is certainly an overdue genus!

[@rafaelgavronski_]

@@DinosDragons but it's still very pretty

[@bataar_productions7741]

Lovely figurine! Paint on the green guy is so pleasing to look at. Im still waiting for haolonggood to come with saurolophus or tarbosaurus😂

[@DinosDragons]

Hahah well! Not Saurolophus yet, but by now you've heard Tlatolophus! 😁

[@bataar_productions7741]

@@DinosDragons really like that one! Also euoplocephalus looks delightful

[@DareBizarre]

Nanmu Baryonyx, imho, looks the best.

[@grandiosa86]

Which color version do you recommend?

[@DinosDragons]

For beauty I would agree for sure! But scientifically it follows a very JPesque aesthetic, so if that isn't important, that is definitely beautiful! I was tempted to buy it in fact!

[@antoniorocha3967]

Well, the "green one" looks great, but i ordered the blue, because it looks better next to PNSO'S Suchomimus. Nice figures, indeed. Not perfect, but the best you can find at this range.

[@DinosDragons]

I definitely love the blue much better in hand!

[@tysdogvlogs6697]

@@DinosDragonswhen buying these, do they come separately or together?

[@ciuffoarancione8929]

Don't like too much the head sculpt but overall is a good figure for the price.

[@DinosDragons]

For sure! It was a welcome addition. I might still pick up the Safari one in future though.

[@ciuffoarancione8929]

@@DinosDragons i have the safari one...if i have to tell the truth i don't like it too much. Good figure but nothing special, sculpt has good proportion and scientific accuracy but lacks in details. Safari ltd has great detailed ceratopsian but for many theropods i think the level is lower. Maybe i pretend too much for the price. I also have the collecta one (not the deluxe because it s only bigger but not more detailed) and it s quite good for the price. Than i have the papo one but it s not a dinosaur, it s a monster...not accurate at all.

[@felinenation3568]

They have amazing works with herbivores

[@DinosDragons]

For sure! Many of us call it 草龙谷 instead of 好龙谷! 🤣🤣

[@The_PokeSaurus]

Yeah, Baryonyx gets shafted compared to Spinosaurus. Glad to see this was made.

[@DinosDragons]

Yes it was good to have the namesake of the baryonichines!

[@keepcalmlovedinosaurs8934]

Truth be told, the paint job of the HG Baryonyx is better than the collecta version.

[@DinosDragons]

It's not just the paint job... that thing was an absolute monstrosity! I wish I had thought to include that photo as a perfect companion pic to that of the Papo! 😖

[@ciuffoarancione8929]

Just got mine. Good but pnso is way better. Details are good for the size. i preferred to pay 5/8 usd more and get a bigger model... This one is too small...

[@DinosDragons]

I believe that comparatively speaking, Baryonyx is smaller than Suchomimus. But I agree, this one is nice but not a must-have!

[@AndyCog_1710]

Brace yourself for an Edmontosaurus being revealed next week…

[@DinosDragons]

I deeply hope it's _annectens_ and not _regalis_ !

[@AndyCog_1710]

@@DinosDragons turns out it was Tlatolophus instead lol. I really assumed it was going to be an Edmontosaurus, they confirmed they were working on one on Instagram some months ago.

[@ToxicMidget21]

Haolonggood is always so close to perfection yet so far with their theropods. They somehow always manage to make a few mistakes that completely ruin the model in my opinion The allosaurus with the messed up head and tiny claws. The daspletosaurus with the messed up lacrimals. The carnotaurus with the goofy horns and girthy head. Dilo with the ugly downturned jaw notch. Megaraptor with the oddly upturned and thin jaw. Now baryonyx with the ugly jaw closure, slinky neck and what weirds me out the most; the indendet chest. Why does it go in on itself? The scapulacoracoid doesn't work like that lol Its a shame. I'm always excited for their theropods, but then they have that one killing factor that makes me lose interest

[@keepcalmlovedinosaurs8934]

I just say that the specimen has an irregularity or "mutation" when doing my reviews.

[@antoniorocha3967]

I would say it's the best model of this species in this range. I would consider your opinion, if you had mentioned the tail in carnotaurus. But it does'nt seem to catch your trained eye. So, i won't give you much credit. I will get this one, right now. It's not perfect, but it's the best one available. And that's all that matters to me.

[@ToxicMidget21]

@@antoniorocha3967 I'm not denying its the best option. But that doesn't make it good. Just best available 🤷‍♂ And I was just giving examples of 1-2 flaws per figure lol, I wasn't gonna write a whole essay on what each one has done wrong. But since were here, yes. The tail is way too thin, the jugal is completely off, its fingers are all clawed when they shouldn't be, the horns are mispositioned, the teeth are too big and too few, the neck has feature scales when it shouldn't, the torso is too wide, the dew claw should face forward, not backwards and the list of nitpicks can go on for a while. However the face is in my opinion the worst aspect; its shaped incorrectly and the horns and teeth are off. I can live with the other stuff, as no model is ever gonna be perfect. But the face is what distinguishes carno the most. Getting that wrong, just ruins it in my eyes

[@DinosDragons]

What downturned jaw notch in Dilophosaurus? You mean where the subnarial gap is?

[@antoniorocha3967]

@@ToxicMidget21 You do understand that only one specimen was found, out of many millions that lived. I would'nt be so concerned about the head...
