PNSO Prehistoric Dinosaur Models (42 A-Shu The Qianzhousaurus)

As anyone who purchases scientific models knows, very often the concept art is not what you actually get. However, with the two PNSO figures I have so far (Paul the Allosaurus and Jenny the Centrosaurus), they get pretty close - and they are really nice models. If I had to nitpick, I'd say 1:35 scale is a BIT on the small side and I think dinosaurs like this really deserve a 1:25 or 1:20 scale, though I of course realize this means some of the bigger sauropods would out of necessity still be enormous, as models go (at 1:20 scale, for instance, some of the upper estimates for the longest sauropods could possibly approach 7.5 feet or well over 2 meters in length JUST for the model, which is insane). HOWEVER, at 1:25 scale the small dinosaurs, large theropods and small sauropods would all be quite nicely sized (a large T. Rex at that scale would be about 21" long, while a Velociraptor mongoliensis would be quite tiny at around 3 inches long but not AS tiny as the 1:35 scale would necessitate - meanwhile a larger, let's say 100 foot / 30 meter sauropod would, at 1:25 scale, come in at a very large but MANAGABLE - if you have the space - 4' long or a bit over a meter, which ISN'T that much bigger than the Apatosaurus or Super Colossal Giganotosaurus from Mattel. So I think 1:25 scale is just better overall without making the bigger dinosaurs ABSURDLY big. Mind you, a 4' / 1.2 meter sauropod model IS big for a model BUT we're talking an extreme case, and if someone wouldn't buy a 1:25 scale of a 30 meter/ 100 foot sauropod because it's too big, I really don't think they're going to feel that differently about a slightly smaller 1:35 scale (which would still be nearly 3 feet long). The slightly increased scale would make the specimens that much more impressive without making them TOO big. Or, perhaps, 1:28 to 1:30 would be at least an improvement if we are to find a middle groun. Then again, PNSO is a Chinese company and in China, if you don't know, space comes at a premium - so you do have to think carefully about what your customers can afford to fit into a condo unit in Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, etc. So if that's the reason I DO get that too. ONE suggestion then would be...what about a new series of larger figures while still keeping the 1:35 scale? It's my understanding there are a FEW they've made that are larger though in those cases they went crazy big - something like 1:10 scale for a Ceratosaurus, which is nuts if you did it for a Brachiosaurus or something much larger. ANYway, just my musing on the scale. In terms of QUALITY...the paint job is fantastic on both of my models. Does it look EXACTLY like the box art? No, but it's close enough and really looks VERY much like it. I'd say it's about 98% of the way there. There's some SLIGHT bleeding of the paint from the teeth on one spot on the Allosaurus but that's it. The claws are razor sharp and painted, which is great. The detail is great. Not sure how I feel about the BRIGHT blue eyes but it is UNIQUE I will say. The Centrosaurus' frill in the artwork DOES look more irridescent and you see more purple fading into blue which isn't as obvious on the model, so there could be some benefit to be had from using some more shiny paint in some places - but I think it's hard to gradiate also when it IS that small, which again brings me back to my point about moving from 1:35 to 1:25 scale or at least 1:30 scale. All that rambling aside, if you're wasting money on cheap dinosaur models that don't really look that good - even if they cost a bit less, say, $20, stop. Buy from PNSO - BELIEVE me it's worth the extra money over a Safari Ltd. and CERTAINLY the quality you get from the Mattel Jurassic World lineup (they don't even bother painting their claws usually and never paint tails, the sculpts are just plain awful in many cases and the paint jobs are laughable) - if you want to compare buying a Mattel figure, look at THEIR Allosaurus and then look at PNSO's. Sure, Mattel's is BIGGER. I even HAVE it. But PNSO's is LIGHT YEARS beyond in terms of quality, accuracy to the real animal and overall presentation. It's something an adult can proudly display on their shelf - whereas I feel embarrassed to think of someone walking in and seeing one of the Mattel Jurassic World figures on my shelf, because they LOOK like cheap toys while this LOOKS like a scientific model. And that's because they, respectively, are.

Incredible figure especially considering how affordable it is!!! The details are incredible, it’s intricate enough to be a pretty display piece and durable enough to be a child’s toy. It comes with a poster and information pamphlet with instructions on how to draw a fossil accurate allosaurus yourself! I’m more than impressed!!

Don’t mistake this for a Triceratops—Machairoceratops is a distinct and lesser-known ceratopsian, and PNSO has done a phenomenal job bringing it to life. The model features an elegant, scientifically-informed design with beautifully curved horns and a striking frill that sets it apart from more familiar species. The sculpting is top-tier, with intricate skin textures and dynamic posing that give it a lifelike presence. The paint application is subtle and realistic, enhancing the model’s display value without overwhelming its natural look. Pros: Unique species not often represented in model form High-quality sculpt and paintwork Excellent for collectors and educational displays Verdict: A standout piece for anyone looking to expand their ceratopsian collection beyond the usual suspects—PNSO’s Machairoceratops is a rare and beautifully executed addition.

This sculpt is BEAUTIFUL! The most accurate and well made Allosaurus model I've ever seen. At under $40 it is a must have! The detail is amazing and the paint application is perfect. The blending of colors is very impressive. The jaw opens nicely and looks good in both open and closed positions. Can't recommend this Allosaurus figure enough.

It's just amazing, it looks perfect, 10/10 product, will be buying from PNSO again!

A nicely done figurine. The Olorotitan has a sense of life and drama. It balances well; you don't need the stand. Mine lives happily on a cubicle shelf. It is next to an overhead cabinet that gets regular use. The shelf vibrates when the cabinet is opened or closed. The Olorotitian remains standing. That said, it will fall over if it is on a table that is given a strong jolt.

The figure is very high quality and detailed, plus the poster is a nice touch. However the one I got had it’s toe and some of its head crest broken off. I’m not sure what happened to it but It’s the one thing preventing this from being perfect.

Modelo muito detalhista e bem pintado

Es una de mis figuras favoritas de la marca. Excelente detalle

購入したのは去年になるので今更なレビューになります 初めはきいたことないメーカーさんでどうやら中国のメーカーらしく主に古代生物のフィギュアをだしてるとこみたいですね 肝心のフィギュアなんですが造形塗装共に凄く精巧にできており(口が開閉するギミックあり!)本体は意外とずっしりしています 二足歩行タイプのものは一部を除き台座なしでちゃんと自立するような考えられたポージングになっており一応透明なY字型の支柱がついてはいるのですがそれがなくとも十分にたたせることが可能です 本体ね値段が高いのと海外発送なので送料をいれると結構な価格にはなりますが興味あるかたは一体買ってみてはいかがでしょうか

Beautiful little figurine and comes with so much information including a section on how to draw the dinosaur you bought. Will definitely be purchasing more of these wonderful little figurines!
