297: Haolonggood (好龙谷) Mamenchisaurus 2024 Part 3 Comparisons

Sorry for the delay, my friends! But here is the final part, with comparisons of the two variants to hopefully give you some input on decision making, and also with other models that I think most people will be interested to see.

Thanks so much for completing your 3-parts so quickly. Haolonggood really are forcing us into tough decisions when they bring out superb triple variants like these. Interestingly, the updated PNSO Mamenchisaurus makes a fantastic sub-adult specimen in this company. But it's a very expensive way to create that family group!!

[@DinosDragons]

It is indeed! But hopefully, if HLG can miraculously keep prices relatively low, they can serve the same kind of exciting role PNSO used to a couple years ago, but even more affordably. Then that gives us some savings to buy PNSO for the odd special here and there, including juvenile standins.

Thanks so much for getting all three of these videos out to us so quickly, especially since you've been under the weather! Hope you're good health is fully back soon. I've ordered the Brown and Green versions. I should be getting them next month. After seeing your in-hand views here, I'm even more excited! Thanks again!

[@DinosDragons]

Thank you, I'm glad to say that throat is better, although the fun never stops... I now have a very bad toothache! So I'm glad I got the videos out in time as the pain is quite an impediment 🤣 I am sure that when you receive yours in hand, you will be even happier. There are so many subtletites that my video couldn't capture and show you, and that's going to be better because you will be pleasantly surprised!

[@ChuckMusicDinoLover]

@@DinosDragons Oh no! Now a toothache?! I hope you get that taken care of and the pain recedes real soon. Yeah, I'm really excited about these Mamenchi figures! I'll let you know my reaction when they get here!

Viéndolos comparados, el marrón es mi favorito ❤️

¡Mío también!

[@thomasmonroe7947]

So, I never picked one up, but, the PNSO Mamenchisaurus almost looks as though it might work in a diorama display with the HLG Mamenchisaurus as a sub-adult. I have ordered the brown HLG M-saurus and might try something like that. As always, your reviews go beyond the extra mile giving good insight to much of the anatomy and theory which is missing from other figure reviewers posts.

[@DinosDragons]

Thank you for your kind words, and also happy to know another person into the anatomy! You are right... I have had the PNSO and this one side by side for a while now and it's getting very easy to think of them as adult and young adult! They look really good together, and PNSO's being so dark helps! Still, if you picked up the HLG alone, you picked the better one in my opinion!

[@oscarvaldes5621]

Great review as always, this is going to be my first HLG figure… I feel that their older figures never reached the quality of pnso but I do think that this one has and has also beat pnso’s offering. Still since this will be displayed with my pnsos a comparison with their lingwulong and almo would be amazing if you could post that, after you feel better ofc.

[@DinosDragons]

Unfortunately, I read this too late. I had in fact shot a first video with the PNSO Alamo, but I forgot to do that on my second video shoot. The LWL I don't have with me right now as it's buried under boxes when I had to do some mould remediation. Next sauropod review, I'll try to remember! I would say that they are very close now, and if you didn't which was which, you might not able to differentiate between PNSO and HLG latest models. Except the colour palette maybe!

[@oscarvaldes5621]

@@DinosDragons that helps a lot actually, looking forward to getting it ! I know you’ve had a lot of moving around but I think we would all love to see a collection tour one day. Either way keep up the good work !

[@michaelkawano1951]

Love it! So excited to get mine. Although now I kind of wish I had ordered brown instead of green. Perhaps I’ll see if Lana Time Shop can change it before they ship.

[@DinosDragons]

I hope you were able to change yours! But take comfort in the fact that even if aren't, you will doubtless be happy with the result of the green. To be honest, if it wasn't so close in colour choice to the other green dinos HLG has offered, it would have been _extremely painful_ to have to decide between blue and green!

[@firegator6853]

i just ordered mine, i chose the brown color because i also have the pnso mamenchisaurus and next to each other they really fit as different age individuals, pnso being a subadult while hlg an adult

[@DinosDragons]

Yes, I think they look really good together! The HLG definitely is an adult Mamenchisaurus in full glory!

[@firegator6853]

@@DinosDragons i might be wrong but the pnso one in 1:35 might actually fit as mamenchisaurus youngi, but im not sure about anatomical differences between the 2 species and how obvious they are in that model

[@Eykadinotime]

Espero que tú ya estés mejor de salud! 🙌 Sobre Haolonggood, realmente creo que están haciendo un muy buen trabajo trayendo grandes saurópodos 👌 Estoy muy emocionado por ver sus lanzamientos del Camarasaurus y Giraffatitan 👀✨

[@DinosDragons]

¡Gracias! Me acaban de extraer una muela jajajaja, pero en general está bien. ¡Yo tampoco puedo esperar por más saurópodos de HLG! Camarasaurus ¡Estoy especialmente interesado en conseguirlo!

[@The_PokeSaurus]

Nice showcase of a great figur... Wait, no Nanotyrannus!? Worst ever.

[@volkanphoenix5441]

Beautiful.

[@DinosDragons]

Without a doubt!

[@cro-magnoncarol4017]

Headcanon: The grey/brown colored one is female while the blue colored one is the male.

[@DinosDragons]

Haha, it's good to always have a story behind your models. I do wish there were even slight differences, and not exact replicas, but I believe the heat treatment will create any variations one might care to make.

[@achille8201]

Where can I buy this model, and at what price?

[@DinosDragons]

You'll have to look online depending on where you are. Europe side, try Everythingdinosaur.com US side, try Dan's Dinosaurs. Lanatimeshop is an option but they do charge quite hefty middle man fees.

[@linogroff841]

Mancherebbe l' Argentinosaurus di Era Terra.

[@DinosDragons]

Unfortunately it is out, having those broken osteoderms repaired.
