I gladly welcome a modest sized spinosaurus. Pairs well with the SAFARI Ltd figure and does not occupy too much display space. If it were as large as the most recent entries it would price itself out of the range of many collectors. Also, I appreciate the intricate sculpting details all the more when the figure is smaller. Splendid review so late in the year, pleased you’re not slowing down. Happy Xmas.
I am only now discovering these new changes to the Spino (been out of the dino game for a few years) but this clearly is not a dino rivaling the T-rex. Cool though.
Very nice sculpt-EXCEPT for the position of the head and neck. Why such a sharp curve? It’s only possible to shelf-display facing to the left-and even then the head will not be in profile. It’s a nit-pick but I wish figure manufacturers would consider how a piece will appear as a display piece.
I just recieved this and I love it, but the paint application isn't the best in a couple of little spots, I'm thinking of getting acrylics and fixing that
Maybe buy directly from China and ship it internationally as this one cost £16.85 on taobao. PNSO offers free shipping in mainland china for almost all products and is releasing one new model each week till Feb, so might as well wait for 10% off before spring festival and grab a bunch of them. iirc I have seen comment from buyer in the US who paid around $20 to ship 4 or 5 big (over 30cm long) models.
Where does everyone get the information that this is a 1:35 scale? The pamphlet included with the figure says Essien is 15 meters long, setting this figure at about 1:60 scale.
It's 1:35 scale if you are basing it off the 10.93 m. Sub-Adult specimen that Ibrahim dugged up. So I guess it passes in that department, but still not as cool as having a New BIG Adult Spinosaurus. I mean if this figure was just 15-20% bigger, it would be better in terms of value for that $40 price tag.
@@spinoguy3555 as per the pamphlet that ships with the model, Essien is a 15 meter animal. This is according to the manufacturer, PNSO. This model does not appear to be based on a particular specimen. So I'm wondering where people are getting the 1:35 scale from, unless they are just making assumptions based on the smaller size of the model.
I don't think that 1/35 scale is accurate. If this figure were posed completely straightened out it would come to roughly 12 inches, if that much, meaning that at 1/40 scale the actual animal it's based upon would be 40 feet. Of course we know that Spinosaurus reached at least 50 feet in length (maybe 5-10 feet more depending on the specimens and the various size estimates out there), so a 1/50 scale designation would be far more accurate, in my humble opinion. It's similar to their Mamenchisaurus, which was likewise listed at 1/35 or 1/40, but at roughly 18 inches long that would place the actual animal at around 60 feet...which indeed was true of some of the very smallest of the group, but far below the average 80-90 feet and roughly half of the length of the very biggest specimens such as M. Sinocardum. I sent an e-mail inquiry to a major manufacturer regarding these sorts of scale discrepancies. The representative's refreshingly honest (if only half-joking) answer: "We 'lie'". Most manufacturers have (unfortunately) largely abandoned uniform scales for their model lines for a variety of reasons, but most of them are tied to manufacturing cost and price point. In many cases scales get assigned to models that simply aren't accurate just to make them conform to that of the rest of their lines. Financial factors are also a huge part of why we're seeing so few sauropod species represented anymore (and if they are, at scales ranging between 1/50 or even 1/100). I'll admit that scale discrepancies have wreaked havoc in recent years on my ability to properly organize my collection (at least the way I prefer to, where I can see at a glance how two species compared in overall length and girth). I still love the hobby and the detail on the miniatures is better on average than it's ever been (especially with regard to PNSO), but it's a bit of a bummer to see scales all over the map, and especially when they're misrepresented on the packaging or website listings to boot.
;-; man i just don't like it's face, it's the thinest and derpiest of them all, everything else about it is beautiful. If they make a bigger one with a none derpy head then i'll get it.
@@gojientertainment2517 claws too long Inaccurate walking position Barely any extensive bulk or muscle(very skinny, but not shrinkwraped) Oversized tail and hands And that awkward shaped head
@@gojientertainment2517 every Spinosaurus besides the Papo 2019 one is too skinny. And papo also got the right head shape, it just looks kinda of odd because of the fat and bulk. There is some shrink wrap but only a miniscule fraction of other Spinosaurus
Love this accurate and phenomenal spinosaurus figure
It is very accurate and realistic
@@dannykingswood7187 there are more things I would do like maybe give it the pelican shape neck but that’s a theory
This may be the Best Spinosaurus I've ever seen it's that impressive.
Hello, PNSO continues to impress me with each release. Smaller figures
do make it nice for diorama
scenery.
woah never expected for it to be accurate!
I know
Except for the long claws

Does it scale well with the 2017 rex?
Essien is ABSOLUTELY GOREGEOUS. WOW! I HAVE NO WORDS.
I still like my Schleich spino, but this is incredibubble.
It's beautiful, but I sometimes wish it was the exact same size as the Safari LTD 2019 Spinosaurus. Maybe someday, well get one that's larger.
That is the most beautiful and accurate spinosaurus and i love it
Truly my favorite Spinosaurus figure in years!
Yeah it so amazing
Yup that's the most accurate spino I have ever seen . Looks stunning. But it's too smol. Smol boiii
I am only now discovering these new changes to the Spino (been out of the dino game for a few years) but this clearly is not a dino rivaling the T-rex. Cool though.
Yeah, it definitely couldn't rival the Tyrannosaurus. The only decent match up would be in water.
Thanks for a great review, thanks for covering so many types of spino, so very helpful 😀
for you...when the GR toys carcharodontosaurus become buyable?
in january 2021?
Anyway awesome video and one of the best spino in the world

This pnso spino and Wilson t Rex with the eofauna giga would look amazing.
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe and Merry Christmas.😉
I just recieved this and I love it, but the paint application isn't the best in a couple of little spots, I'm thinking of getting acrylics and fixing that
This is a very nice figure by pnso but it was actually smaller than I expected
Is this Spinosaurus to-scale with the PNSO Carcharodontosaurus?
Is this better than the first one? I never picked the original up
I need that one it all ready ordered it
the most beautiful creature I know
I feel like it costs too much for its size. $60 on DansDinosaurs, which is £45. For comparison some other

Most new PNSO dinos cost around £9, £11 and £17 (new t-rex is £34) on Chinese taobao
When are you going to do the pnso tyrannosaurus rex 2020 version
Will you do the review on latest PNSO Winter Wilson (T.rex) 2020 based on AMNH 5027 specimen?

Prehistoric animal models that accompany your growth= Kids.
Scientific art models= Adults.
Because this spino is for kids*
Talk about a Catfish noodle - er? Them short hind legs & long front claws = fresh bottom feeding mudcats ALL WEEK LONG!
Andy said "Turtle!" :D
This spino is apparently based on a 10m which was discovered with the paddle tail so this and the new Safari Ltd version are in 1:35 scale

@@cholodoc6253 okay
@@cholodoc6253 they're all toys lol
Worth it??
So Awesome
What a beauty,and video
I just ordered one today!
Cool review
Spinoooo 😍
Can you do a spinosourus toy collection
anywhere you can get this figure that arrives from the UK?
Everything Dinosaur will be stocking it in the near future!
Did I hear someone say spinosaurus?!

Can’t wait for this to become outdated in a few months
Lol you Can buy This in ebay (not really)
You Cam buy it in shopee I know Its a filiphino company
Very aquatic... &%$# the J.P. Spino....
Tf is ur problem. The jp spino was accurate at its time but now it's outdated plus jp spino was made WAY BEFORE 2014
;-; man i just don't like it's face, it's the thinest and derpiest of them all, everything else about it is beautiful. If they make a bigger one with a none derpy head then i'll get it.
I mean it’s scientifically accurate so if you want one with a non derpy head then you might want to look into jp3 spino, that one is badass
It is beautiful but overpriced
Sorry about your parents.
Honestly I give this figure a 7/10(even in accuracy), it’s probably the second worst 2020 Spinosaurus reconstruction so far
To me it’s one of the most accurate. Please let me know what is innacurate.
I respect your opinion but for me, I found this one and the GR Toys Spinosaurus to be the best and most accurate we’ve gotten this year
@@gojientertainment2517
claws too long
Inaccurate walking position
Barely any extensive bulk or muscle(very skinny, but not shrinkwraped)
Oversized tail and hands
And that awkward shaped head
What do you think of the meso zoo spinosaurus?
@@gojientertainment2517 every Spinosaurus besides the Papo 2019 one is too skinny. And papo also got the right head shape, it just looks kinda of odd because of the fat and bulk. There is some shrink wrap but only a miniscule fraction of other Spinosaurus
