Thanks for sharing my work buddy!! Great review!!!

It's super weird that the paint just seems to have changed. Fellow collectors who bought the Ankylosaurus when it came out have colors that match the promotional images. Then it appears a new run of models has this weird grey wash. I think my Pachyrhinosaurus might be suffering from the same issue, but not to the extreme of the Anky. It has a black wash on its face, while others don't.

The repaint makes this figure look so much better!

I have had a really old JP style velociraptor from Papo since I was a little kid. Its paint got wore out a bit overtime, but even to this day the paint application is just gorgeous. The Papo raptor basically set an equation in my mind; [Papo = No disapointment]. Over a decade has passed, in a vibe of nostalgia, I've decided to order a Papo allosaurus. But when I got the product, something was... off. The overall colors are dull, the paint application is just sloppy. I searched through the internet what happened to Papo and I realized that the company is no longer like what I used to know. The equation has broken, and my Papo raptor became the fossil of Papo's good ol' days. In the process of searching, luckily, I found your channel. Through your channel I found PNSO! I saw your 'Paul the allosaurus' review. My experience with Papo made me to hesitate for a while because your video was out in 2021 and I saw it in 2023. There was a possiblity of that 2 - year - gap might made its paint application into a dissapointment. But I've decided to ordered it and 2 weeks later, PNSO allosaurus has arrived. And fortunately, it didn't go to the second case in your video at 3:09. Compared to your 2021's early version, my allosaurus' overall colors are a tinny tiny little bit dull and the color scheme is a bit more... greener, but not in a bad way. In fact, it became more like its promotional image with an exception of its head. The head is in darker colors. There is black paint application along the ventral margin of the premaxilla - maxilla - jugal, the snout, and the nasal crests. The eyes is still blue and its pupils have become larger; which I personally think it is a tiny but huge upgrade at the same time. Maybe the second case is 'the general route' that most products follows. The first batch is nice, but later products' paint applications become dull. Nobody can say for sure that my PNSO allosaurus' case will not go to the general route. I totally agree with you. "Pay now." Most of the time we will have much better experiences when we pay early.

I have the PNSO Ankylosaurus with the same dull paint job which I purchased in December 2020. Whilst the paint job didn't match what was promised I personally really like the more naturalistic, subtle colouration and wasn't disappointed. Indeed it is one of my favourite PNSO figures. Whilst I'm not a fan of saturated or brightly coloured models, they do definitely bring out the subtle details in the sculpt.

That’s a wonderful paint!

Thank you for the Video. Your Videos are well recieved from the DTF Community aswell, i would say. Paintapplications on Models are and will always be a big Topic to discuss about. I remember the Big "****Storm" when the first In Hand Images from The "limited" Spinosaurus from Papo went online. And of course i understood the disappointment. But not the Anger. The Price is always something to consider, as you said well. But for example the EoFauna Figures and the Papo Spinosaurus. The Eofauna Atlassaurus is (in my small opinion) a Masterpiece. It retails for around 23 to 27 Euros here in Germany. That is an astonishing Price. If i had to pay a Retailprice of around 50, it would be still a wonderful Figure, but i maybe would be more nitpicky about. Same goes for the Papo Spinosaurus (2019). I got it for around 40 Euros here in Germany. Overseas, it was around 60? That is something completey different. But we all know that. PNSO made something really special and People love it and hate it at the same time. Looking at their Amargasaurus now and then is a real shame. But from what i see, people have absolutely different perceptions of what makes a Paintjob good and bad. Soemtimes its the Choice of Colours of the Pattern used. But for others, it is how the Paint was applied. It is really hard to tell through a Video, and i really think the Repaint (of your Ankylosaurus) was done really really good! But i have to admit, that i like the original Look more in this case. This happens not that often and i think it is interesting. Another example is maybe the Ceratopsian Line from BotM. These are really outstanding and it is great to have these, but i really dislike the ways the Paint is applied. It is just nothing for me. I always have the feeling they look toyish and cheap. But of course, they are not. This is not the fault of the Figures itself, rather than my perception of what i want with a Figure of a prehistoric Animal. Essien 2.0 for me is absolutely worth the Price a paid for it. It was around 27 Euros from AliExpress, and yes it is small, but the Paintapplication is outstanding in Hand. Complex and lifelike. And fine. But that is just my two cents. This is an important Topic for us Collectors (Feels weird to write that.) and it is so interesting to hear and look at other Opinions and Feelings regarding that Topic. I am in the Situation, that i can repaint Figures by myself, but Money is an Issue. So sometimes, the Paintjob is secondary to me, but the Sculpt is something that is most important to me. The Safari Tylosaurus from Doug Watson looks like a Clown and i can't stand that look. But beneath that horrible Paint, there lies a wonderful Sculpt and after a Repaint, it really looks like a completely different Figure. I love that.

I saw this video on the day that I got my Sede, I was so disappointed at the pale paint job, I even got him wet to see if it was a powder or something. I think I'll try to repaint mine, the one you got repainted is superb!

Still one of my favorite figures! Mine isn’t as washed out and I actually like it as is. Interesting since I didn’t get it early after release.

Funny, I did exactly the same thing! Mine was so washed out I also bought a second one from Amazon, but it looks the same. (No ‘CE’ stamp on either.) Nice to see I wasn’t crazy. I had thought the early review videos seems to show a much better paint job. Now I may try to paint the extra one….

Im a fan on how you offer a reason on the inaccuracy like the droop of the tail being a fracture, it almost gives the figure some character

Collection video, 😊

I thought this was a great "half review" on Jay's PNSO Sede the Ankylosaurus. Also hope you have a great day.

Great work. I will do total remake of several schleich models in terms of new teeth , inner mouth and body repaint and weathering and arm length correction, should turn out well.

I recently received mine , and like you I own the “ Dust Bath “ version . If I hadn’t purchased from a reputable dealer I would have suspected a counterfeit . Not only for lackluster pallete but, the model is missing the CE production stamp . How curious . It is the sole figure in my collection sans stamp , and I suspect, yours as well as evident by your review . Perhaps , I will commission a repaint if so I will ask for the prototype paint scheme .

I purchased Sede earlier on in the year, and my model suffered from the same washed out issue as your specimen. Though in fairness I would say that its an "albino" specimen. 😁 That repaint is just amazing, it gives off crocodile and desert tortoise vibes.

I actually prefer how the pnso ankylosaurus turned out compared to the prototype. I like the dull, sandy tones, (although I think it would fit tarchia more appropriately, and they should have gave ankylosaurus a green look.) but regardless I much prefer the dusty, dull colour to the repaint

The original I got was pretty flat so I added a wash ect to my PNSO Anky and it looks way better now thanks to my experiance with model tanks (ww2 type) over the years

My Sede is exactly like yours! I returned it back to Amazon and got one that claims to be 2021 re-paint version on AliExpress

Which scale is this Ankylosaurus? It has a superb color, good job on it. I've the other color scheme, and I like it, but this one is great! 🎉

I thought it's just me. My 2021 Wilson got the faded and wash out color too..

Im just curious how much money PNSO saved by buying three basic & boring paint colors in bulk. Seriously it seems like every model of every species, "theropods, sauropods, etc." they release, ALL originated from the same 2 Dinosaur parents.

My biggest pet peeve when it comes to paint jobs is when the whole thing looks great!... Until you see the teeth and the teeth look like they were never really painted much if at all or the white bleeds into the gum or lips in a really noticeable way :(

The paint on the Ankylosaurus definately is a bummer. I touched mine up a bit to make it more saturated

I got one today from Aliexpress, one that states it’s 2021 Remade with Improved New Paint. Hmmmmm. Better than one I got Amazon, a tiny little better than one from your video, but far far far away from the one you showed in this video that you said someone for from Amazon (I am not talking about the one you repainted). And far away from the box and the advertising photos on Aliexpress. I gave up. The color is too light to be displayed with other PNSO. it’s going to be a gift to my coworkers.

I have the latest version of Sede. And looking at the video, I can say that even the worst version is better than this author's coloring. Because it's NATURAL.

Sede is just Beautiful Anky-Boy💕 Man, looks Awesome now!! So sad that Sedes go around the world whit that mediocre and awfull painting finish, But I'm really happy to see this splendid Anky-Boy now ☺💕 I just hope I could paint mine this good someday

Original is best. Very good leather skin.
