294: Haolonggood (好龙谷) Euoplocephalus Review (2024)

- Опубликовано: 28 апр 2024
- Haolongood once again comes up with another dinosaur that has been neglected for far too long. Euoplocephalus was my favourite ankylosaur growing up, and it still. I've been wanting one to update my Carnegie, and this one serves very nicely. As a lover of anatomy and of Euoplocephalus, there are a few 'inaccuracies', but it will actually make for a very accurate Scolosaurus, which is yet another interesting dinosaur.

So glad to hear from you after a while, my dear sir. I seriously missed watching your videos. And I'm so sorry to hear that your Haolonggood Kosmoceratops and Edmontosaurus are missing. Thanks to careless customs, we missed two great reviews. I think it's the same in every country. But I'm glad to see that this amazing little Euoplocephalus is doing well in your dungeon. Even though Euoplocephalus is a well-known dinosaur, it doesn't have many figures. This is the only well-made figure, I think. So huge thanks to Haolonggood for giving us this. And I wonder who will give us a Saichania chulsanensis figure. Let's see. 😉Thank you for this wonderful review, my dear sir. You are the best.🖤
Thank you for your generous words as always Rajitha! Well, this one is really a nice figure. I have to remind myself that little imperfections can't always be seen, and at this size really, it is the best representation we've had so far. Certainly, more so with the paint apps HLG gives its figures! I too, can't wait for a Saichania or Tarchia. I would love more Asian representations, but for that it seems like PNSO is giving that to us now.
Interesting how very different my "pale" version looks from yours. The back on mine is a rich conker chestnut. Although it's just about the most light-sensitive model I have in terms of how the paint reacts - in brighter light as opposed to neutral light it looks so much paler and more yellow. I found it very difficult to photograph. By the way, I loved "clueless innocence" - you have quite a way with words!
Yes indeed, I've mentioned a few times now that lighting makes a difference. A lot will depend on your own usual lighting conditions. If they look good to your eye, that's the most important thing that matters! 😊 I definitely know other Chinese collectors who have better painted ones though, so maybe I got the short end of the stick here.
And thank you for your comment on words; I love languages and the way different ones can express certain ideas.😁
It doesn't look like the Euplocephalus that I grew up with...I hope PNSO will make like those of the old books... it's still a cool figure though... definitely will be added in my collection..
Think of it more as a Scolosaurus! 😁
Thanks for the review, I always check your review before buying a new figure, and this one looks nice!
Thank you for your words; it's a heavy responsibility indeed! 🤣 But always keep in mind, that actual lighting makes a difference, and of course, there may be differences across copies. For example I think that I got the short straw when it comes to the yellow compared to some other people I know.
I love your videos so much 💚🦖
About the Euoplocephalus... It could be so much better :/
Thank you for your support! Actually, I hope that for the yellow, I'm just unlucky. I have seen some other collectors', and they definitely look a lot better!
Haolonggood keeps bringing new models non-stop😊 and I can't wait for their Gastonia, which is my favorite 😍 the PNSO 82 WUERHOSAURUS XILIN MODEL is next which Haolonggood has already done but it would be interesting to see if there is a size difference. I wonder which Mamenchisaurus model you got as your next review.
Haha well you know the answer to that last by now!
Gastonia is one of my wishlist ankylosaurs as well, since the only one I have is the huge Sideshow model! HLG is fast becoming my favourite supplier of overdue and wanted herbivores! 😁
@DinosDragons I'm just waiting for them to release this Gastonia, but probably it will be one of their line up of Ceratopsian line up soon like their Einiosaurus or Diabloceratops. I already have the Diabloceratops by Xianyan Studio's but the Einiosaurus would be a welcome addition.
Haolonggood siempre es una sorpresa. Con este Euoplocephalus han hecho un gran modelo pese a las "incorrecciones" en ciertos puntos como esa cabeza tan comprimida. Sin embargo, en cuestión de pintado, ambas opciones tienen puntos muy interesantes. En la oscura, la parte del flanco con esa transición es alucinante, y la cola tiene un acabado que le da mucha naturalidad y sensación real de un cambio progresivo del tejido que la conforma. Y por otro lado, la versión clara, tiene un detalle a modo de "pincel seco" en los osteodermos que le dan un toque extra que, si estuvieran en la versión oscura, convertiría a esta última en la mejor de las dos. Es curioso como siempre tienen un punto fuerte cada versión de pintado. Supongo que el siguiente en llegar será el Stegosaurus, tengo muchas ganas de ver qué nos cuentas de nuestro gran amigo con placas 🤩 Un excelente vídeo, amigo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
¡Estoy de acuerdo! Me sorprende que el de color claro tuviera una cola pintada de forma tan sencilla.
Como dices, si tan solo pudieran tener lo mejor de cada uno y ponerlo en un solo modelo.
Me encantaría ver el estegosaurio. Cuando leí una breve nota en RUclips hoy, ¡pensé que ya estaba anunciada!
Can’t wait for the mamenchi review
Me too! 🤣
OOOh a Euoplocephalus, I used to have a toy Euoplocephalus when I was about 5-8 years old and for years I mistook it for an Ankylosaurus until I got older and realised my mistake.
(edit: I think my childhood toy of this dinosaur was from the Terra series by Battat)
I used to think they were _all_ Ankylosaurus! 😁 Dr David Norman's Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs really opened my eyes wide for the first time!
Yay, you're back! Are you going to review the HLG Edmontasaurus?
Sadly, mine got lost in the mail, and only just arrived! Since there are already good reviews out there, and I don't have much to add, I may not do this. Especially since this promises to be a crazy week for me! 😥
So far, all the in-hand pics I've seen of the orange one tend to have random, dark, blotchy paint applications. The paint just looks a little sloppier in general on the orange than the grey. The paint app on the tail club is also what I've seen... kind of haphazardly dry-brushed on top, and no added accents on the bottom. The lightened areas on the larger spikes look better on yours. Others I've seen don't look dry-brushed like yours, but more like some of the darker paint was scraped off! Anyway, great review and some very good science as always. I've already ordered the darker grey one. But I'm still considering getting the orange. I like what you said about how they look like a positive and negative of each other!
Haha thanks, I tend to see certain things in colours and that struck me immediately! I know that other Chinese collectors definitely have more nicely painted ones than mine, so if the price is low enough for you, just get it. Your lighting situation may also be very different, so who knows, you migh be very happy with yours! 😁
@@DinosDragons I went ahead and ordered both! They were only $15 each! 😎👍
Some may not be happy with the paint, but I think this is a really good figure by Haolonggood, misnomer aside. Just wish it was called Scolosaurus instead.
Speaking of Haolonggood, do you have plans for reviewing their Edmontosaurus?
I think this is one instance where you could most justificably call it Scolosaurus as a matter of fact, not fancy! I used to feel that if the official label wasn't something a model was really of, I would not be comfortable, and I know some collectors call a model something else (e.g. PNSO ZT as T Rex). But this one I am _very_ comfortable treating as either one or the other! 😊
PS: Unfortunately, my HLG Edmontosaurus got lost in the mail, and only just now arrived. As there are other good reviews out already, I may not review this one. And I am going to be very busy this week, as you'll hopefully see lol!
I have bean waiting for a Euoplocephalus for a long time and all this discussion about this figure being eather Euoplocephalus tutus or Scolosaurus sp. makes me very sad.
That really only matters to people deep into anatomy. If you are not, ignore what the rest are saying. Get it if you like it, no one should be a reason for you to be upset over. Many people have equally many opinions. As a collector, ultimately, the only important opinion is your own! 👍
@@DinosDragonsUnfortunately for me I have ordered it the first moment it was available. Usually I like to wait for reviews before buying a figure, but this time I was so excited for the idea of a Euoplocephalus figure that I couldn't help myself. If I had known all this beforehand, I probably wouldn't have bought it...
Anyway, thank you for your amazing content!
Vey beautiful model, looks even better than what it did in the promo images, I will think about getting it, definitely I prefer the dark one more
I would say it is definitely more consistent across collectors I've seen than the yellow for sure!
Excuse the odd question, but how on earth would ankylosaurs breed? lol
A question that has vexed and titillated many a thyreophoran fan through the ages, that is for sure! 🤣
하오롱굿 마멘치사우루스 리뷰도 기대된다
Hahaha I am going to SUPER BUSY with that!🤣
oh, the paint application on the tail club of the orange variant is disappointing, makes me to reconsider my choice. thanks for the review
Well, I hope that it's just my copy though! I know two people with better paint apps than on mine.I wish I had thought to get theirs for review instead.
Probably should have gotten the black, than again i could just paint the club myself.
If I had to make a choice, I would keep my black. But I hope that your actual inhand copy looks better than mine! I know for a fact that at least two collectors have much better apps than on mine.
3:48 I am not a believer in that theory.
Ah, why is that?
@@DinosDragons There is no modern-day animal that "reabsorbs bone" or shrinks its horns as it ages. So it's pretty ridiculous to assume dinosaurs could do so with no evidence.
@@The_PokeSaurusBut this is so obvious in the bony knobs we see on the frills of baby triceratops, which diminish in size as the animal grows up, until you have a adult animal with a almost completely smooth frill.
