I'm glad you like this one! PNSO is an example of how, by generating enough love and respect by giving quality, you can then start to expand into newer and less heard-of dinosaurs, and actually get people (and children!) to want to learn more beyond the standard crowd-pleasers! Although there has been an occasional lack of consistency in paint apps and people _are_ concerned about the rising prices, I think PNSO has really pulled ahead of many other companies because they produce models _most_ dinosaur lovers would appreciate. The other hadrosaurs, when I look at them again, really were an indication of things to come. Even now, when I look at the Lambeosaurus and the Corythosaurus, I feel their quality is right up there, and even the integument was already showing some of the higher levels PNSO would be able to reach.

@@DinosDragons PNSO have done an amazing job in such a sort period of time despite their unpredictable production. I could not have imagined last year that I would be purchasing from them regularly. Yes, I'm pleased that lesser known specimens are being introduced into the lime light! 😁👍🏻

It's indeed a beautiful and colourful array to have, and makes hadrosaurs exciting again! I just love those proportions, which granted some might argue are a little spindly especially in the forelimbs.

Thank you very much Rajitha! I never really wanted to make just straight toy reviews, as I want to also share my love of these amazing creatures. This isn't to the taste of most people, and if I were to skip the 'extras' my reviews could be shorter and probably a couple days earlier if I just did straight reviews. So I'm grateful to have viewers like you who do like my content, and kinds words like yours are very much appreciated! I hope to continue making more of these videos, and continue to add information and knowledge that would help more people appreciate these prehistoric creatures. I hope that you will one day get some PNSOs... I guess it's tougher for some places to get them... but really I know how much it would mean to have just one or two favourites! 😁

Thank you very much for your kind comment! I hope to share my interest in dinosaurs and some of the science behind them through these models, as this has been a growing passion for me in recent years. It just happens that PNSO has a blend of so many pluses for me that it's a pleasure to review! 😁

That's so cool, I'm happy to hear that! If only there was a dinosaur native to where I live, I would want one good representative too! This olorotitan really surprised me by how much I liked it... that purple hue is really something to my eyes!

You're most welcome! 😁I'm glad you love hadrosaurs... PNSO has really done their bauplan justice although of course, the limbs have been noted by some to be on the spindly side.

I'm glad you have a favourite! I have them on my table now, and I still can't decide which one I like best!

You and me both! Kentrosaurus is one of those 'common' stegosaurs, waiting for a nice update. So too Polacanthus... wow it seems like there's a long list of dinosaurs we want from PNSO lol!

PNSO has definitely done it again with another hadrosaur!

Look at it this way... it makes it easier to save money knowing some might not be to your liking! 😁

Thank you for your support as always Michael! I do have the Safari Edmontosaurus, but something about it always struck me as being off, despite it also being a very nice model to have. But PNSO was the only one who made them according to how I've always imagined hadrosaurs to be like!

I'm not a completist, and try to be selective, but PNSO makes it hard not to seem that way. This one was an instant must have the moment I saw the release images!

It definitely is a _stand_ out!

Thank you! Believe me, if the paint application is still as good as the first run you are absolutely going to love its naturalistic colours and the pose. PNSO has given me some of my favourite hadrosaurs and this one is very near the top for me!

@@DinosDragons I received mine today and somehow they have rectified the seam line on the crest...I can barely notice in my piece...

¡Gracias por tu apoyo! ¡Pero es difícil elegir qué hadrosaurio PNSO es el mejor! Por ejemplo el Lambeosaurus y el Parasaurolophus .... ¡ es imposible de decidir!

For me, definitely as soon as I saw the release images! Just for the pose, but you add in the other qualities PNSO is known for, and it's just a must for me! 😊

Thank you this was a real pleasure to review. I really like the hadrosaur bauplan!

Elegant and beautiful are the words for what PNSO has done for its hadrosaurs! 😊

Glad to hear that you approve of this! It's really amazing. The Lambeosaurus and Corythosaurus from last year were already of very good quality. Then Parasaurolophus and now Olorotitan. A hadrosaur lover's dream!

@@DinosDragons I have the other three. I truly love hadrosaurs. Parasaurolophus has been my favorite dinosaur since I was a little kid.

Wow that's a really good model. I hope that you still had quite a good paintjob, as it's been a while since this was released. There is usually some deterioration in paint apps with late runs ☹ My collection is a total mess lol. The display is still a work-in-progress though I daresay with very little progress made! 🤣

@@DinosDragons I think given the fact that it was a fairly simplistic paint job it was able to stay fairly close to what I’ve seen… I like to touch up my figures with paint either way so all is good :) And when you feel like its ready and clean lol I think we would still love a tour of your collection, keep up the good work

It's really amazing to have in hand, especially if you already have other hadrosaurs to stand it next to! I'm glad the actual colours followed through quite closely, especially that purplish hue and that tail patterning!

@@DinosDragons absolutely! I do have all of PNSO's hadrosaurs except this one. Can't wait for him to join the family. Thanks for the review, I was eagerly waiting for it lol

PNSO just doesn't stop! 😂

Wow then you're lucky! I don't know much about models but as far as I know there have been very few of this one made, and those were not trying to be scientifically rigorous in their reconstruction!

@@DinosDragons Yeah seen some of em not a fan. I got two CollectA's Olorotitans tho lol

Indeed... with a crown to match!

I HAVE TO PLACE MY ORDER...!!!!!

Thank you very much! Glad you like it! 😁

What I like is the variety, which is something I would have liked in some other dinosaurs. We have that with T Rex, and I know it would never happen, but I wouldn't mind more Pachycephalosauruses in different poses to go with the one T Rex already has. I know many collectors who want their army of Hot Toys Iron Mans, but for me, I would love a herd of plant eaters all doing different things. There _is_ that seam in the crest which might be a little disturbing if you're a perfectionist 😁

There are quite a few famous dinosaurs that PNSO hasn't tackled in fact! I'm surprised they haven't done a Velociraptor or Deinonychus, the therizinosaurs or ornithomimosaurs. I don't have a single updated Iguanodon 😁 There's no shortage of popular candidates for what PNSO might do next. I'm always pleasantly surprised to see what their next release image reveals.

The worst thing are the shipping and taxes that are adding a huge premium. I wonder if PNSO would consider having a European store soon, and if that could help cut cost quite a bit.

PNSO keeps surpassing itself. Though I daresay that due to simply its larger size, there is more fine detail on the Parasaurolophus on the legs. But otherwise, they don't look out of place at all standing next to each other. In fact I regard the Lambeosaurus and Corythosaurus from last year to be already at a very high standard!

It's even better in person, and standing next to any PNSO hadrosaur!

Blue would definitely be a breath of fresh air, not to mention colour! The closest I can think of is the Corythosaurus turquoise, but a straight up blue would be very welcome!

I'm completely with you on the 1:35 sauropods! They used to have those hollow PVCs, and like you say, Nanmu has certainly shown it can be done, as well as W-Dragon. The 1:45 Mamenchisaurus would have been perfect for many sauropod/ dinosaur lovers _except_ for that small scale, so I hope PNSO can do a CBA and find a way to still give us awesome sauropod models. It is one thing to have them really nice and accurate, but for a sauropod when you remove the larger size, you remove one of the most iconic and impressive things about this magnificent group. As PNSO has shown with their Shantungosaurus, if they did the large behemoth-sized hadrosaurs to show the diversity of size and scale, it would really be impressive. I never learnt how big hadrosaurs could get till just a few years ago, and it would be amazing to have that conveyed in a 1:35 from PNSO someday!

These huge animals would have been something to see, for sure. Probably had few issues with predators if they managed to achieve maturity. I never saw hadrosaurs as being dull fodder for rampaging meat eaters. Like most non-avian dinosaurs, I found them all to be of interest. Even as a kid in the 60’s, I knew the manner in which they were portrayed, scientifically as well as in popular entertainment, was incorrect. Even then, not having a clue about the meaning of the word ‘physiology’, the “science” made no sense to me. Always glad to see another representation that breaths life into my favorite group of extinct animals.

Try the PNSO store on Amazon.com or Aliexpress. Amazon is usually quite fast and Aliexpress will give you cheaper shipping. (I'm assuming you're in the US)

Thank you very much for your comment. Very astute observation on the tail! Yes the trellis of ossified tendons would have interfered with the lateral range of motion of the tail. I do recall reading a paper on the histology of these tendons suggesting they would not have been completely stiff, so some lateral motion might have been possible (they seem to be very strong against hogging however so definitely I would say no droopy tails). However I couldn't find that paper now (possibly a 1996 paper if anyone knows). There is certainly more fine detail on the Parasaurolophus, although I put that down to it simply being bigger and therefore having a larger canvas to work with. Personally having them side by side, I don't find it irksome but of course, some people pick up these details more sensitively than I do. The almost spindly limbs has definitely been noted by many people and I daresay I wouldn't mind them a little bit thicker, especially the forelimbs. Stability-wise, you definitely have to use the stand. What I notice is that bipeds that balance on two legs are more sensitive to subtle changes in surface inclination or even the strength of my air-conditioner currents! And even if they are pretty stable, there's still the issue of warping if you are living in hot and humid climes.

@@DinosDragons ; The pes of PNSO’s Nanotyrannus and Pachycephalosaurus are even smaller yet , are exquisitely sculpted and well proportioned . Perhaps someone else sculpted the these hadrosaurs because aside from the Parasaurolophus the other Hadros share similar sculpting styles .

I certainly hope we get one, considering we just got Iguanodon!

It's hard to say! Depends on your individual circumstance and how much you are paying for it, including shipping. Some people are feeling the hurt in the EU with the new taxes for example. For what they are, a balance of good sculpting, paint apps (generally) and scientific accuracy, these tick the box for me.

I'm not sure. I haven't brushed up on my formations but I believe they were from different formations. Time-wise they would have overlapped, living to the end of the Maastrichtian (Tarbosaurus 100-66mya) and Olorotitan (71-66mya) but Tarbosaurus was from the Nemegt Formation while Olorotitan in the Udurchukan Formation. Someone else will know I'm sure! 😁

That one is truly impressive, and at its size even the older style scalation doesn't look to out of place. However my problem was the stability. Mine does not stand at all. I also didn't like the colour much, and gave it away to some children who were delighted to have it. Although in retrospect I could have had it repainted and modified for stability. As a specimen of true size in the hadrosaur group, it is a fantastic model.

You mean your only concern is stability? I will say that on different surfaces, it won't stand on its own because most flat surfaces tend to have different inclines. For example on my study desk this stands but leans to the left, and on another table it won't stand at all. So the provided stand is definitely a must. Actually it is a must in any case since these dinosaurs tend to warp over time, especially in hot humid countries.

@@DinosDragons Thanks for the reply, also I have a question about the Corythosaurus, if the figure was actually a Saurolophus would it be in 1:35 scale? I saw Gex do a conversion of one on his instagram and it's beautiful

Sí pero creo que proporcionalmente sigue el mismo bauplan. En general, es más pequeño que los demás.

It's "bauplan". 🙂

@@DinosDragons Ah yes, German, not Dutch ☺

It actually is. But I think it has to be in order to keep to a 1:35 scale, which actually makes it nice to see the variety of shapes and sizes if your collection is mainly 1:35 too.

I would absolutely love a new Shantungosaurus! I didn't really like the colouration of the previous one and I gave it away to some children only too delighted to have them, but to have one done now with the modern level of sculpting of this monstrous hadrosaur (in the same 1:35 scale please!), would be really splendid!
