Well, this is an amazing model, not just in sculpt, but now, a highly fantastical colour that will turn heads. If giving us a Mamenchisaurus with a wonderful sculpt and incredible paint applications in the brown wasn’t enough, HLG gives us this variant with one of the rarest colours in Nature- blue!

Can studies of living animal colour constrain the colours of dinosaurs? A case study with big theropods

Why is blue so rare in Nature?
• Why Is Blue So Rare In...
Love the commentary on color!! Informative and presented in a way that makes the concept easier to understand. Thank you!
Really useful facts about pigmentation, thank you!.
So, I watched Part 1 and was glad to see that the figure was much better than released images. I was considering the green but, like you, there’s enough green in my collection and most of it from HLG. The color plus patterns will begin to just blend on the shelf.
Another fantastic video. I love the thoroughly researched scientific content of all your vlogs. We're waiting for these figures to come into stock with Everything Dinosaur here in the UK. Like you I will be going for brown and blue. Hope the throat feels better soon. Thanks.
Excellent explanation about the blue colloration, as always, thanks for all we can learn by hearing you DinoDragons.
To make it look more natural, I love to see some scars on its body. For a giant like this who's been through some rough times, it should have some scars to prove its toughness. This looks so damn near perfect. I'm in love. And thank you for that lesson about skin color. I never knew that, and it never even crossed my mind. This is why I always say I learn so many new things by watching your precious videos.
(late)May the fourth be with you! I was also waiting for your in-hand reviews of both brown and blue versions, yet the blue is a true eye-catching scheme. I think it will arrive at the same time as my late sea shipping purple Alamosaurus, so that would make a good timing.
I can't wait to get mine soon
The unfortunate thing is, blue, in nature, is exceptionally rare among large vertebrates (even the "blue whale" is more of a grey, and only LOOKS blue in the water). In fact, I can think of NO extant vertebrates over 100 kg in body mass which are truly BLUE. So, it seems in light of that a bit improbable that sauropods, much as I LOVE the look, would BE truly blue. Wh evidence we do have for skin pigmentation in Diplodocus, however, which is at least a sauropod, suggests an earthy yellow hue - maybe like a rusty brownish-yellow, not banana or lemon yellow, but muted. The GOOD news for us of course is that since it's very hard if not impossible to discern true skin color in an extinct animal, lacking exceptional skin preservation, we can speculate all we want and it's somewhat unlikely that said speculation - barring really incredible preservation under special circumstances - will be disproven any time soon .PLUS, with Diplodocus being a color that frankly you ALSO don't see a lot in 100kg + extant vertebrates (I suppose some crocs can have a yellowish undertone to their scales), it does open that door to other hues on the "brighter" and more fanciful side of things than a mere grey, brown or dark green. Sauropods, as adults, PROBABLY did not COMPLETELY change color palates from when they were young - some of it likely carried over into adulthood - but once big enough to deter all but the most determined and largest predators, they could likely AFFORD a splash of color here and there - probably in a highly visible location, high up, like...the neck and along the dorsal region. Then again, the biggest animals TODAY tend to be FAIRLY monochromatic - they have just one color dominating, maybe some countershading, but that tends to be it, with the exception the spots on a giraffe or speckles on some crocodilians. By and large though, conservatism with color seems to be dominant in large terrestrial MODERN vertebrates and I suspect the same is likely true for sauropods: one dominant color throughout but perhaps with some lighter shade on the underbelly and possibly a splash of red or something catchy on the head or throat. Elephants are kind of just brown-grey. So are rhinos. Giraffes have spots, but only two colors dominate. Of the living terrestrial archosaurs, however, we DO have some FAIRLY large taxa like the Cassowary which has a BRIGHT blue to its face and neck region - so certainly, even though it's a bit of an exception among the earth-toned ground-running birds that exceed 60kg (ostriches, emus and rheas are all fairly earth-toned or black).
Excelente información sobre la causa de distintos colores en los animales 😁🙌 Aunque la variante azul es poco plausible, es una versión muy hermosa 👌
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo en tus argumentos sobre los colores de estos animales. Es un tema extensamente comentado entre nuestras amistades amantes de la paleo y que tiene todo el sentido del mundo. Me alegra ver que somos de la misma opinión al respecto 😊
I've not heard anything about scale type affecting structural colour before, do you have any further reading on that? :o
You'd better have that Nanotyrannus in the size comparison! I'm watching you...

Damn, i was hoping for the comparisons... Well, still very useful. I may go for the brown one. I do like the browns and greys on my giant sauropods.
