Dinosaur Museums Series: Lucas the Giganotosaurus

I only order PNSO for my dinosaur models, as usual, these figures have insanely good quality, design, and details. Mosasaur- It’s pretty big and has some real weight to it. It looks great on the stand and compliments my Mosasaur teeth perfectly. Spinosaurus- The stability is solid; not super stable but not too bad. I recommend using the stand. I love the colors, the details, and the accuracy of the anatomy is exceptional. Even the details inside the mouth isn’t overlooked, it’s perfect. My 1 complaint is I would have liked a slightly bigger size. This was the largest Theropod, but the figure seems a bit smaller than PNSO’s T-Rex models, so it’s odd it wasn’t made a big bigger to represent this in their product line. 100% worth the money and I’m very happy!

This little PNSO queen is roughly the length of an average adult man’s hand. palm to fingertip. and stands about an index finger tall, which makes her the perfect size to silently judge everything on your desk. She’s sculpted so well it feels like she might start breathing if you look away too long, and the paint job is so good I half-expected her to ask for snacks. Her jaw does open, but unless her head is hanging over the edge of whatever she’s sitting on, she can only manage more of a polite “hmph” than a full Late-Cretaceous chomp. She appears to be made of hard plastic or resin, and while she seems sturdy, I will not be conducting the “gravity test” mostly because I like her and don’t want to cry. She is absolutely not a toy. She is a refined, dignified display piece… who still somehow radiates “pet me” energy. If I didn’t know she was once an apex predator, I’d be tempted to scratch her chin and tell her she’s a very good dinosaur. She weighs about one pound and she is definitely worth every penny to figurine enthusiasts, dino lovers, and children at heart.

Tsintaosaurus spinorhinus ( Spine nosed lizard of Qingdao ) is a beautiful Chinese hadrosaur discovered in Qingdao province and named in1958 by Yang Zhongjian. Previously released as a mini figure this exquisitely realized figure has been rereleased for PNSO’s 2022 catalogue. The sculpt ; The figure is smaller while eclipsing previous hadrosaurs in sculpted detail. The figure also reflects the most recent scientific research with updated body morphology, most notable being the headcrest which is consistent with newly discovered material. The high pelvis, deep neck and tail clearly illustrates the Lambeosaurine family lineage. The paint ; Visually unique and singularly arresting. The pallete utilizes a myriad of greens throughout the sculpt. The secondary and accent colours meld seamlessly to compliment the figure so that it appears organic and natural as if the hues were derived from nature’s design. Splendidly vibrant and poetically inspired. The pose ; The pose is complimentary to the paint scheme. The pose evokes a scenario of possible behaviors which mirrors that of modern birds, perhaps an adult female during the breeding season in her resplendence, drawn to the distant calls of drakes. Nesting rookeries point to sexually monomorphism as these magnificent creatures converged every year to propagate the next generation. PNSO has delivered a figure which balances accuracy and artistic panache which I hope heralds a new direction in manufacturing standards. The balance issues with previous figures seemed to have been resolved which is greatly welcomed and appreciated. Whether you collect PNSO, dinosaurs, or ornithopods Tsintaosaurus will certainly appreciate this release.

Another PNSO work of art! It is intricately detailed, beautifully crafted and colored, with nice size and weight. A far cry from the dinosaur figures I had growing up. Some may say that it is a bit pricey, but, I say you’d be proud to have one in your collection.

This figure is amazing and well detailed. Despite the lack of lips and some feathers that are details matter of controversy currently in paleontology, the general shape of the animal with a barrel-like torso and massive muscles on the legs, tail and neck are well represented, no just for the anatomy itself but in the sense that they reproduce a realistic posture and sense of motion. The paint has less contrast than in the prototype, but it looks good with the different textures of the skin. It's remarkable that this figure with an horizontal shape can stand up just on its feet (actually, just one), but the weight could make that figure bends downwards with time. It's true that the plastic stand helps, but it would be better if the stand could grip the figure or if the body was built in a lighter material than the legs. Anyways, it's easily one of the better figures of Tyrannosaurus on the market and a good option for a relatively affordable figure with museum-quality.

Been looking for a dinosaur figure to decorate my computer desks shelves with for a while, and coming along this figure was definetly a great choice! I honestly thought 60 some dollars was a steep price for something like this, but with the little booklets that give a lot of information on T.rex itself and the various beautifully printed images that come with this, you're definetly getting the moneys worth! As for the model itself, I can't spout enough words of praise to the quality of it, but to keep it simple it is absolutely beautiful and to a top notch quality. The sculpt itself is very detailed, showing all the lumps, bumps, and wrinkles you'd probably find on a real T.rex. The coloration and paintjob is simple, but does really make the figure much more realistically lifelike than it already is. The articulating mouth is very smooth, and holds it's position at whateve angel you have it opened at. Overall, this product is a 15/10, and I'll probably be buying another figure to accompany this one on my shelf.

Ron The Mosasaurus -the name is hilarious, but this thing is AMAZING! I took it to a local creek and did some underwater shoots with it and had a blast. The level of detail is incredible and lends to realism in photos. The model is pretty large, comes fully assembled and looks great right out of the box.

Just received today. I love both the accurate and inaccurate Spino designs so having this is a nice representation of the former. The Spino is a little smaller than I thought it would be and it doesnt have a ton of heft like other museum style dinosaur figures but overall I'm glad I got it and will have it displayed on my desk at work!

Muy bonita figura de un Stegosaurus stenops que a mi parecer está a muy buena escala con el Stegosaurus ungulatus de Haolonggood (la otra especie más grande del género). Me encanta que la cría está en pose bípeda. Eso sí, si bien es de muy buena calidad la figura el precio es bastante elevado y a mi parecer no lo vale tanto por el tamaño y porque la calidad no es muy superior a la colección Prehistoric Animal Models que es la estandar. Si eres coleccionista como yo y te la puedes permitir adelante, pero si puedes esperar alguna buena oferta mucho mejor.

Meticulous detail and so many extras in the box! I'm definitely a fan of PNSO after buying this and the Wilson T. rex.

Beautiful figurine! It came with so much extra stuff that it was 100% worth the money. I love it.

It's awesome! Rooooaaar!

Esta increíble y luce hermoso, lo recomiendo, es una excelente pieza de colección
