My personal opinion - W Dragon giraffatitan and this pnso Alamosaurus are as of today the best mass produced sauropod figures, expensive resin kits included if you go for scientific accuracy. Some of the big expensive statues will have better paintjobs. Overall the very best sauropod figure available is the fiberglass Patagotitan by Ademar Pereia in Brazil. That tone is a masterpiece and a bargain if you can get one.

True and sad at the sane time@

@hadrosaur-harley9623 Thank you for your comment! The problem I would have is that I have so very many I couldn't even begin to know where to start! But I have always felt deep deep down that there is some kind of compilation sauropod video just begging to be let out! I'll think about it! 😁

Wow thanks so much for your kind message! Helping people decide, or appreciate what they already have, is one of my key goals with my channel. Especially viewers in the West who have to pay through the nose for one of these Chinese models, I think every bit of informatoin helps! 😁 I am delighted that there are people who enjoy my other content as many people would probably I just went straight to the model! This was a very enjoyable two videos to make as I am really passionate about sauropods and especially titanosaurs. PNSO doing one is a momentous occasion, though somewhat anticlimactic as I am sure you can imagine! The Ruyangosaurus is a fantastic offering from CollectA, and I think that you will be very happy with these two together. They complement each other rather well, and if your shelf doesn't have much clearance, then this would be perfect. Imagine everything fitting on your shelf, with one exception that has to be put apart! With all these together on the same shelf, believe me, it is going to make for one _impressive_ display!

Thank you my friend! I am Chinese, although my mum (Chinese teacher) thinks it has deterioriated a lot since I started focussing on improving my English 🤣 I _am_ big on languages though. Learning Spanish and occasionally still dabbling in Latin.

Thank you! I was really excited to review it!

Thank you! I really don't understand how I could have forgotten Huanghetitan now that I think of it! 🤣 well, the _next_ time PNSO does a titanosaur, you can be sure I'll remember that!

I get what you mean! It's amazing to think that many years ago, 1:40 was _the_ standard for me. And not it's a "neither here no there" scale because of so many popular figures in 1:35, and then 1:50+! I hope you are right. I have seen the hints from HLG, but I'll believe it when I see the body! 😁

¡Gracias amigos! ¡Sí, por fin mi garganta está mejor! Pero creo que no por mucho tiempo... ¡HLG simplemente no quiere dejarme descansar! ¿Has visto al hermoso Tlatolophus? 😭😭

Vendría siendo un sub-adulto como algunos sugieren

@Eykadinotime ¡Muchas gracias, estoy encantada de leer tu mensaje! Sí, de hecho, uno de mis objetivos con mis reseñas es ayudar a las personas a apreciar más los modelos que tienen. Muchas veces, cuando compramos tantos modelos, tendemos a olvidarnos de tomarnos nuestro tiempo para estudiarlos realmente. ¡Con suerte, mis videos ayudan a resaltar algunas cosas buenas de cada modelo que reviso!😁😁

I think we'll have to wait and see. HLG is rumoured to be offering a closer to 1:35. I would be very keen to see how they intend to offer it affordably. Unless PNSO wants to return to hollow vinyl or have their model in three parts like Rebor, I think it's going to be challenging. But never say never! 😁

Then you are indeed fortunate! You can just focus on enjoying a model on its _own_ merits, which ideally is how we should all be enjoying them! 😁

If anyone can make a 1:35 titanosaur affordable, it will be HLG! Let's wait and see what they come up with next!

Hahahah yes... it's a pity that the _one most amazing thing_ about titanosaurids - the size - couldn't be adequately captured here. But wow... when you look at that _proportions_ of that bauplan captured so wonderfully here... and without the context of other models, you can really forget the scale for a moment! It's beautiful!

Which Argentinosaurus was that? That aside, as long as PNSO continues with solid figures, I think they won't be doing any 1:35 for the foreseeable future. The way that might happen is if they did another hollow vinyl one like the Huanghetitan, and yet I think that's a direction they want to leave behind. I'm actually hoping that if HLG releases larger sauropods, they might help light the way for other companies to follow suit.

I got the Passion Charger Argentinosaurus from Lana Time Shop and it's a 1/35 scale much more larger then my Giraffatitan. I'll be painting it myself so I can get the right color choice. A truly amazing model just like your patagotitan mayorum. I notice their earlier larger models weren't so appealing. If PNSO does the right scale size it would be truly pleasing because sculpt wise they do a great job. Haolonggood just released their HAOLONGGOOD 1:35 SCALE TLATOLOPHUS GALORUM MODEL but I'm still waiting for a bigger sauropod from them. I heard Musee Studios will be releasing their Sauroposeidon next year which I am waiting for.

Thank you! I enjoyed making it!

I think you would get a lot of people screaming blue murder if that happened soon! First, because we just out of the theropod rut, and second, because a lot of people just spent a lot of money on Cameron 🤣 I would hope for a new Wilson with lips, but please let's get a LOT more non-theropods in first! Unless it's some of the neglected one like the oviraptoridae or eudromaeosaurs or Ceratosaurus! 😁

It used to be too messy to even described! However I have taken to rotate them in and out of storage. As for massive sauropods, I am giving the entire bookshelf top to sit on. It's still got room for about three more, but I think that after that, that's really all! I may have to give away or sell some. Sad to say! Thank you for your support!

Pray they do not alter it any further!

Haha you can tell huh? Yes mate, I was really sick and my throat was kiling me. I'm much better today, thank you! 🙂🙂

well yikes it looks like KZfaq assumed I meant timestamps when I typed the scales and highlighted it all weird. just ignore that there wasn’t any particular point in the video I meant to comment on. Whole video was good. wonderful production quality as usual lol

Haha yes that is a quirk of YT. It interprets all numbers as timestamps but it's all good since most of us will read the message and not click on them. For a titanosaur lover whose biggest attraction of these marvellous beasts is the immense size, I too would like them to be 1:35. I was very disappointed with this 1:55 scale to be honest. I would have accepted the 1:45 PNSO previously gave its largest animals because then we could fully appreciate just how immense this animal was. Titanosaur = titanic size. That for me is how I think of it. Having this at such a small size really is an anticlimax, but that's unfortunate especially when you contrast it to how good this is and what it might have been. Hopefully HLG will give us something in 1:35 for a titanosaur!

@@DinosDragons don’t know if you’ve seen the news yet, but it looks like we got our wish with Haolongood 😎

I actually pretty like the colours and pattern, though it _does_ remind me a little of one of my diplodocus models. I believe that there is some leeway for scale interpretation if you are not too fussed, and you would probably enjoy it a whole lot more!

That is for sure. It's really beautiful in and of itself, but for a sauropod and especially a _titanosaurid_ there is something really anticlimactic about the size of this impressive beast. 😪

It's definitely one worth saving up for!

No. To be honest, I don't like the colour schemes and paint application. And I don't like articulated figures because there will always be discontinuity in the colour. They are probably very good for their intended target audience though!

Please see the description in my Era Terra Patagotitan review.

By now you should have feasted your eyes on this already! If not, soon. Very very soon! 😁 Try to ignore the scale!

duh, sorry about the timestamp!

Ah, the thing is, you have to understand where the majority volume of sales comes from. And as much as we of course think of our niche as being full of people, the fact is that compared to the actual bulk, which means the lay public, casual enthusiasts, and exasperated parents, it is actually very little. So I every much suspect that if even if _all_ of us would want a 1:35 (and many viewers have told me they don't), and be willing to pay for it , shipping and all (and many viewers have told me they won't), the price it would have to go for may no longer appeal to these other huge groups and PNSO loses their business. So PNSO probably has to make a decision on this. My real question is, how does _HLG_ do it? If there is a way to make a 1:35 titanosaur affordable, my money is on them to come up with it! Let's wait to see their sauropod releases next year!

@@DinosDragons I'm not arguing against your point, but I have ONLY ever met collectors who have a 1/35 preference... Maybe I need to widen my circle of friends, lol

@@HSPGelton2 Perfectly understandable! Because I grew up with Carnegie and got used to "1:40" I assumed that that was the ideal size for scientific collectors and in fact when Carnegies started to abandon 1:40 I stopped buying their models for a long time. It's natural that when we have a preference, we see all the benefits of that range. Speaking personally, my preference now is 1:35. Almost 70% of my collection are in that scale 😁

I most certainly am! My favourite subgroup from my favourite group from my favourite dinosaur model company! The size though, as many have said... the size! 😭😭

As I estimate it, the Mamenchi was about 1:45, but yet you could conceivable regard this one as being around there. Certainly it's less of a stretch from 1:55 compared to 1:35! 😭

@@DinosDragons yeah nice

That would cause seam lines which I think they are trying to avoid.

You will definitely NOT regret it!

Exactly! Tragic that it's one of the biggest group of animals too! Would have been incredibly impressive!
