PNSO Prehistoric Dinosaur Models:66 Chongzuo The Sinopliosaurus

Great model.

It’s well detailed. My grandson loved it.

I love dinosaurs!

A pretty accurate model of the original British dinosaur megalosaurus, worth the price and highly recommended for the dinosaur enthusiast

Very well packaged in attractive product box. Arrived promptly and had good communication with the seller throughout.

Es una figura hermosa, hasta ahorita la más grande de los carcarodontosaurios de ésta línea de PNSO. Llego antes de lo previsto a pesar de que se atravesaron las fiestas de fin de año.

A pesar del tamaño tiene buenos detalles y se aprecia

Amazing sculpt and paint job, only thing is the boot jaw and teeth look a little weird.

Sinopliosaurus released by PNSO for 2022 is based on disputed fossilized remains found in the Sichuan Basin of China and named in 1944 by Y. Jhongjian. Sinopliosaurus weiyuanensis ( Chinese More Lizard ) was once believed to be a marine reptile Pliosaur its teeth are now known to be a spinosaurid theropod. PNSO, known for their adherence to scientific research makes a departure with this figure. The sculpt is a speculative amalgamation of several members of the Spinosauridae. The sculpt; Combining features of known taxa the sculpt has the deep tail and high neural spines and notch of Ichthyovenator coupled with a shallow skull and rosette maxilla of Suchomimus. The details as always is superior. The individually sculpted teeth, the neck and throat pouch, and the muscling of the limbs are exemplary. The paint; A welcomed departure from the subdued models of late, the pallete is arresting and has to viewed in direct sunlight to be truly appreciated. Like the sculpt, the small details are utilized to marvelous extent. The pose; Here, is where I feel the art direction veered into restraint. The pose is in a forward stride, and can balance on a flat surface, reminiscent of a hunting heron, I suspect sculpting the neck in a tight S-curve would shift balance rearward, allow the figure to stand on more uneven surfaces and reinforce the avian connection. I do laud the graceful curve of the spine and the ever so slight twist to the tail. Again, the inclusion of these small nuances makes the figure stand apart. Figures representing the Spinosauridae are emerging into the public consciousness and represented by several manufacturers with varying degrees of quality. While the figure is somewhat of a chimera. This does not detract from the talent of the artists. PNSO consistently delivers quality figures with adherence to scientific rigor, meticulous detail, and artistic panache. Regardless of what the figure is named, the quality of the figure is indisputable, and highly recommended.
