Thank you my friend but I dare not lay claim to that! I am sure there are really good reviewers out there who appeal to different types of audience. I am just lucky that viewers like you like my content! 😁
My thoughts exactly! I'm neglecting some dragons I've been meaning to get, let alone review! I hope though that some of that bleeding will be onto a different dinosaur clade!
Now I'm happy with the release of mapusaurus! Your upbeat sense of humor never ceases to astonish. Also, last year you asked about my book. Its just been released.
Thank you and congratulations on the publication of your new book! Seems like you've been a lot more productive than many during Covid! Now that it's out, will you go back to doing dino reviews? Last one was the Iguanodon!
@@DinosDragons Sorry, I don't think my reply got through to you. Yes, I do plan to get back into my dinosaur reviews at some point. Things are difficult now and I have a second book in production as well as a third.
Ah I wish I'd thought to say that! You're right, it's both warm and cold brown shades! Thereby proving it's not the general colour palette _per se_ that galls fans, it's the repeated patterns. PNSO seems on top of things though, by the looks of it!
I also think it would be cool to see another abelisaurid if PNSO were to follow up with another therapod. Especially since their Carnotaurus is a bit old and lacks the level of detail of current PNSO figures.
@@donteto let’s hope it isn’t. Carnotaurus is no small animal. But in 1:35th scale, compared to pnsos large carnivores like this mapusaurus, it’s gonna be tiny. And we will have to pay like 100$ for a small Carno figure, with a bunch of fluff and posters. But of course they WILL make it a museum line figure, cus it’s popular and they can rip us off 💀
@Saaurier I wouldn't be surprised if PNSO eventually got to 'fixing' their past dinosaurs with the new aesthetic, but when they would get around to it, is hard to say. As my favourite dinosaur, I would of course be hoping for a Carnotaurus too! 😁
I think I'll get Mapusaurus, I love the posture and the the paint. I Really wish to see Ceratosaurus or Dilophosaurus next, maybe a new sea reptile for a change.
Anything change now would be most welcome! I keep thinking we'll see a plesiosauroid from PNSO this year. but I certainly would like Jurassic theropods.
Just ordered this mad-lad tonight, and i have to say this has to be not only my most anticipated carcharodontosaurid from PNSO. But for theropods in general, up first i was a bit bored of PNSO repetitively doing theropods but i saw for how big it was and thought “wow..” and i was quite speechless regarding the fact this model is less expensive as the museum line Giganatosaurus yet is larger and has a more dynamic pose. I cannot wait to display her next to all my other PNSO theropods!
Agreed! I only wishes that Giganotosaurus had Meraxes' colouration and pattern. Two of the largest carcharodontosaurids being the two most beautifully painted would've been a wonderful pair to display together!
Very nice figure! Even without the flashy colors of Mungo, they managed to stray from their regular brown dinosaur with stripes pattern and nailed a beautiful paint scheme!
Exactly! Showing that even if the earth tones are kept, the patterns can really make or break the appearance of an animal. This thing is even more beautiful in hand!
If only PNSO's theropods had lips, they'd be my absolute favourite models out there. Everything else is gorgeous about them. The pose, markings and colours on this one are phenomenal. Thank you for another early, detailed review!
I get the issue and i also stand on prolip , but its their artistic choice and the experts at pnso ( and china to a degree) lean more into dinosaurs being crocodile like than birdlike. Thats why their insistent on lipless, mostly scales unless proven to prob be feathered there and croc facial featurettes. So its diff from uninformed jurassic park clones , they do believe it truly. Theres good argument for both by experts both u and me can barely argue with. Atleast Charcharodontosaurs are with spinosaurus the most likely to be lipless due to their phylogony Eofauna leans more into lips but they only release 1 figure a year and their paint aint as great.
This debate won't stop until we find conclusive evidence for or against lips, which will likely never happen. Terrestrial soft tissue preservation, especially for large animals, is extremely rare. So, either get used to PNSO's approach or look at other companies, because PNSO won't change their approach any time soon.
@@theimmortaleye7511 An article came out the other day that theropods had lips. Therefore, the PNSO should re-release almost all of its theropods. The article also says that herbivores also had cheeks. Therefore, some of the herbivorous pnso are now not scientific.
@@player21099 One article is not evidence, it's one article. We also had an article last year that split T-rex into three species, which basically no one ended up accepting. I was talking about *evidence*, real physical evidence, only that can be conclusive. That article *suggests*, it doesn't prove.
¡Gracias por su cumplido! A decir verdad, los carcarodontosáuridos son uno de los pocos grupos de terópodos que me interesan. Por lo general, no sé mucho sobre los terópodos jajaja.
I'm late so no one will probably read this, lol. Just got my Mila and have to say - I think this is one of PNSO's best offerings. And it's BIG! The paint and sculpt are beautiful. I see maybe a difference in texture from Giga, but not really lacking. The pose is fantastic, and I see a fluency in the sculpt that just seems to kick it up a notch - especially in the area of the upper legs and how the muscle bundles blend into the body. PNSO often does the upper leg and hip like a big triangle (compare with Lucas), not always looking naturalistic. It's almost like a different artist did this sculpt and they nailed it.
Good observation on the hip anatomy. It's always going to be down to numberous factors including where you think muscles cross and attach, at what angle, and how voluminous they are. This really is one of PNSO's best. I almost wish that this was the Giganotosaurus, but I believe PNSO wanted some tie to the colour scheme of the old Lucas. In terms of paint application (except for those teeth) these last three carcharodontosaurids are definitely the way to go. The latest offering for the Cameron T Rex has to follow the aesthetic established I suppose, but moving on PNSO will hopefully continue this trend of newer colour experimentations.
I also observed that there are at least two sculptors with very different style for PNSO theropods. One sculptor that sculpts the two museum line theropods (lucas 2.0 and cameron) yangchuanosaurus and saurophaganax loves the triangle upper legs which I also don't like very much. I know what the sculptor want to express with these hips but I don't agree with his expression and interpretation of the hip anatomy. However, I also notice that this sculptor goes for a finer skin sculp that result in a more natural head and neck area than the other sculptor. He uses finer scales for the mouth or lips area and generally applies smaller and finer wrinkles in a smoother area. He/she also uses less exaugurated musculature mainly on the upper leg area and other areas to a lesser extend. The theropods with more natural looking hip often have rougher skin texture, more musculature, skin folds and tend to have a slightly robust foot. I also suspect there is a third sculptor that sculps the acrochantosaurus and the torvosaurus which have very small feet for the size of the body as well as a very peculiar slim waist area just in front of the hip. The leg sculp from this sculptor is also quite different.
I really don't care what anyone says about PNSO giving so many theropods, blah blah, I'm in love with this figure ❤ And I'm eagerly waiting to see that Tyrannotitan. Eagerly mean, not in the next month, but I want to see them complete this family. Because I think PNSO is the only company that gave us 5 Carcharodontosaurids and 3 Giganotosaurins in a short period. And as you said my dear sir, they all look so different from each other. So I will never hesitate to buy all these beauties. Love the color scheme, and the pose. For me, I think it's ready to attack something. It's sneaking in and that's why it is tiptoeing 😉Loved this well-detailed and precious lecture, my dear sir. Please keep it up, and wish you all the best. 🙂🖤
Thanks for your comment and I do hope that you can get at least one of these new ones. They are beautiful! You make a good point; since they've already given us so many, why not give us the whole nine yards! But as you also astutely point out, not in the next month! 🤣 I feel they could have strategized their sales and offered this Mapusaurus later on while people were still delightfully buying Meraxes!
Funny how you brought up Concavenator! The Seller I buy my figures from just sent me a gift of a mini PNSO of one! I would love to see them make one in their mainline series so I can give them a big brother :P It's not the most accurate figure in the world (especially around the tail) but I love the gesture and the little wings and fuzz it has!
Those mini PNSOs are gems! Some of them are actually very good in terms of anatomy. Unfortunately I discovered them too late and so the ones I really wanted can't be found any longer. But it still is a pretty nice option to have!
Very nice model and another great and informative review. For me though, especially after the recent Cullen et al. paper, I’m only adding therapods to my collection that have lips. I’ve always been in the lip camp and am glad more evidence is supporting that hypothesis. I wish PNSO shared that opinion.
Good day Michael! Well, even if PNSO were to change, it wouldn't be in the next few models since all that moulding has proably been finalised long ago. Still, perhaps the strategic place to introduce lips would be their next Wilson T Rex. Imagine lips and the new integument.... it's going to sell out like hot cakes!😄
@@DinosDragons excellent point! And yes, an updated Wilson with lips would likely be a must buy! Although, they are going to have a hard time dethroning the “Kiss” T. rex from Rebor in my opinion.
Someone at PNSO must be going through a carcharodontosaur faze :P I like the subtle differences between the three models. Gives them more personality and individuality on top of the poses and very different paint patterns. Though right now I need to save up for new display cases for my current collection :P Also yesterday a new paper was published basically confirming that T. rex had lips. I'm curious if this may effect PNSO's future figures down the line 🤔
It prob has to do with the meraxes gigas skull find and us finally sorta knowing their skullshapes .they made a good base digital sculpt and Made new giga , the meraxes the head isnfrom and basicly gigas stepsister. Next is either alorotitan to finish the line or smth completely diff
@horse14t If that paper convinces PNSO to give it a try, it may be most strategic for them to have a lipped version starting with their next T Rex.That would indeed be earth shattering news! I doubt it would affect the next few theropods given that some of the production cycles would have started months before.
@@DinosDragons sadly even that paper leaves enough leaway that lipless isnt impossible especially since asias paleontology leans in general more onto the reptile side of dinosaur than birdlike features
I think they do have to make an effort, though I daresay that PNSO's 'regular' line is so good in scuplt and paint that it would steal a little thunder away from more premium lines. Without the Giganoto for comparison, we might not notice the relative 'lack' on the Mapu!
Considering the whole spectrum of theropod finds, I think carcharodontosaurids are still pretty lucky with even these finds! 😁 But Meraxes you will love. I only wish its paint scheme was on the Giganotosaurus instead.
Surprisingly i got this one in the mail already (i literally ordered it 4 days ago) and im happy to say that it is really more incredible in person. For the future im really hoping for abelisaurs or medium sauropods. Remakes would also be welcome, especially of the t.rex, carnotaurus, ankylosaurus, or amargasaurus
Yes abelisaurids please! I need a new Carnotaurus with the new PNSO sculpt and paint! Medium sauropods sadly, is what we will probably have for PNSO to keep to 1:35. I believe for really large animals they were going to stick with 1:45.
I'm considering getting Mila since I already have Lucas v2,but Mapusaurus is overall a cool Carcharodontosaurid but something tells me they gonna make a Tyrannotitan due to Pnso almost has the entire Giganotosaurini family.
I'd love a Tyrannotitan from PNSO, however they seem to be following a pattern (as far as I can tell); They have no T-Titans in their "fleet". They DO however have a Concavenator ("Carlos"). If we see another Carcharodontosaurid, it'll most likely be Carlos IMO. If I'm right, keep in mind it was mid sized (18 -20 feet) so it won't be as large as even their Allosaurus.
@@theimmortaleye7511 Sinraptor was larger than Concavenator. Sin-25 ft/Con-18 to 20. With the exception of Nanotyrannus, it would probably be the smallest PNSO Theropod.
@@theimmortaleye7511 Thank you! I did wrack my brain trying to think of a medium sized theropod from PNSO. I totally forgot about their Qianzhousaurus. It was around the same size as Concavenator. PNSO also has a "named" Alioramus which is also around that size. You're right about the Q-Saurus being out of scale (that always bothers me as I'm a stickler for accuracy and scale). They very well COULD make Concavenator or Alioramus, just out of scale.
O' my! Again the figure looks way better in hand (Imo at least) Cant wait for my Mapu to arrive! On its way haha. If only PNSO did lips.. I really like the very dark colored head. Now I need Concavenator figure!
If you thought it looked better in my hands, wait till you get it in yours! There's always some complexity that doesn't show up on video 😥 but that only means if you like what you see in the video, you will love what you see in your hands! Congratulations! I think this was a very worthy purchase!
Tyrannotitan is rather poorly known unfortunately, and might not end up looking too different from all these recent members, which is something a few collectors have complained about. I think PNSO would be wiser to give the clade a break for a bit 🙂
How about finally a Megalosaurus? The very first dinosaur discovered does not get much love from model makers like pnso. The one I'm getting from CollectA just doesn't cut it! I want one from pnso.
I like Mapusaurus the most out of those three. It's a marvelous model, perhaps the best theropod from PNSO. I think that PNSO should use different spots motives on dinosaurs.
For sure! This one went back to brown tones, but see how different this looks and how elevated compared to just having stripes like before! I hope they keep this up!
Hello @DinosDragons. Would it be possible for you to pass on information on any latest reports on Carcharodontosaurus? I remember both it and Giganotosaurus were OVERestimated for years at being 46/44 feet respectively. I know Giga has be brought back "down to earth: with estimates of 39 - 42 feet, but I heard you say Car Car was smaller than Mapusaurus. That suggests it was under 40 feet long (a far cry from 46 feet). If this is true now, I'll have to issue a "cease & desist" order on my "make Carcharodontosaurus bigger PNSO" campaign! Lol. I currently use the GR Toys Car Car as my go to because it's size is closer in scale to the 46 foot estimate.
Good day mate. Did you mean Carcharodontosaurus itself? I will have to look. I actually have a bunch of articles but sadly my relative lack of interest in theropods means I've been way behind updating them. Also, I don't recall saying Carcharodontosaurus was smaller than Mapusaurus? I only know that estimates of Mapusaurus have at times been larger than that of Giganotosaurus. Could you email me and ask me there so it puts it on my radar? If it's here it may get lost. RU-vid doesn't notify me of all comments for some strange reason. I should note that in my original PNSO Carcharodontosaurus, I might have been a tad ungenerous towards the size of Carcharodontosaurus itself. Since then, I've had some new information that lead me to believe that in fact that for 1:35 it should actually be a bit bigger; certainly not as underwhelming compared to T Rex.
I know most dont like them as much , but to me i love Charcharodontosaurs , and since im convinced my fav group dromeausaurs prob wont get much love from pnso ( i have issues with botm in general) , i had a blast getting them , the giga is overpriced but beatifuel, meraxes is majestic and unique, just lacks size and pose isnt quite mine, mapusaurus seem to be the best of both worlds , size of giga and an amazing paint. Now if they do tyrannotitan theill have most of the big Charcharodontosaurs ( i use my eofauna giga as a proxy of tyrannotitan since there isnt much known)
Yes indeed, surprising especially that this one isn't in the Museum Line, which is fortunate because it means more of us can enjoy it! You'll love this if you get it in your hands! Did you mean Tyrannotitan?
I was deathly afraid of them doing a Mapusaurus dirty and making it too small, but I’m so glad it’s that big. The sizes if carcharodontosaur change every week based on new estimates, but mapusaurus is generally either the same size as a Giga or even larger.
Yes indeed, it's a fool's game to argue which was biggest, as some people seem emotionally invested in doing. I'm pleasantly surprised that this was bigger and also not in the Museum Line, which helps more people afford it!
@@DinosDragons yes, as mapusaurus and Giganotosaurus were basically the same size. Who cares if one is bigger by a centimetre or heavier by a kilogram? Looking at it normally they’re the same size
This figure looks great! I'm curious how it compares to the era terra patago (partly cause it lived with it's close relative tyrannotitan and partially because I'm think of getting it as a tyrannotitan to display with the era terra patago I just bought.)
Ah indeed! If this had come out before the Patagotitan, I would definitely have put it up for comparison. Didn't think to use it as a standin for Tyrannotitan! Actually Ademar has a Tyranotitan IIRC.
Mapusaurus was my favorite dinosaur, but I started learning more about Torvosaurus & now that’s my favorite dinosaur, but that honestly doesn’t matter, I’ll still try to collect all these figures like Pokémon.
Hopefully you liked PNSO's Torvosaurus! 😁 Though I daresay that paint scheme pales in comparison to Mapusaurus. Maybe this will make you change your mind yet again!
The Carcharodontosauridae persisted for millions of years and across most of Gondwana. Undoubtably, there are bound to be variations within a clade. There are seven distinct species of extant bears, so a half dozen similar dinosaurs across millions of years is not only logical but an axiom. If we’re going to address “ Nemesis - Fakers “ I’d begin with GR Toys / Haolonggood. One nitpick for this collector is the omission of the S-curve of the neck which was all the rage for decades. I’d like to see future theropods sculpted with the head positioned higher and tucked closer into the shoulders. Especially if PNSO intends to produce more Spinosauridae or Baryonychinae.
With this new pose in Mapusaurus, I would hope that means PNSO is exploring other options, so we might very well see your S curve on one of their models in time in an appropriate dinosaur like a spinosaur. I feel the Faker/ Nemesis Prime charge can't fairly be levied on GR Toys, because they are openly giving us the same figure but in multiple colour variants. They aren't repainting one and then calling it another name. Probably the easiest thing to do with theropods, especially both the carcharodontosaurids and tyrannosaurids.
To be honest, I'm pretty disappointed with the first new one they offered. The form looks completely unpleasing, and what makes puts salt on the wound is that they put the label of Eternal dragon on it, which have given us some of McFarlane's _most beautiful_ dragons. I'll monitor what comes next though! 😁
The size differences up to a certain point probably don't matter as much, especially as what we have are often estimates of estimates 😊 But it really is a gorgeous figure and an example of what PNSO could do if it wanted to! 😂
mapusaurus is my favourite carcharodontosaurid i will sure get this thing in the future, this posture is unbelievable and even i could not help and think about stability issues but yet again PNSO blew this opinion away and despite this very front leaning posture it stands so perfectly its almost like a picture the color scheme is coincidentally like i always imagined for mapusaurus, mostly dark color and specifically the head being mostly dark and just like that this color scheme accidentally fits my guessing for mapusaurus color on the one side it gets kinda tiring having 3 members of the same group being released one after the other but in general there is something beautiful when animals with so similar skeletons are reconstructed so differently and in flesh they look completely different it reminds me of modern day big felines where their skeletons are very similar but in flesh they differ completely if pnso also made a 1:35 new spinosaurus it would flesh out the most famous and biggest theropods perfectly and from then on we can expect more different stuff, i really want pnso to make some iguanodontids like tenontosaurus or early hadrosauriforms like ouranosaurus
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's good that you are able to appreciate that even in the similarities there are differences. I think most people are unable to look past the fact that they are buying very closely related members and some hardly look different at first glance. I can also understand that, since they would probably want to spread their finances to get as varied a collection as possible. Hopefully PNSO will give it a break for their next offering! I have a strong feeling they are going to give us some marine reptiles thie year! And indeed, a 1:35 Spinosaurus is conspicuously absent in their offerings!
@@DinosDragons what i feel we might get a lot is eocarcharia because its also a new size in the recent carcharodontosaurid releases, as a smaller species in 1:35, but i sure want more variety
By the look of its pose, it seems the Mapusaurus is inspecting an object on the ground tracking its pray slowly, but at the same time it looks like it's just a second before a strike. I really like its posture and it's probably my favorite pose that I have ever seen from PNSO theropods. However, your warning at 9:22 is really concerning. Compared to Meraxes, the area of its toes touch the ground seems quite small - like a half of Meraxes'. Very tip of toes are definitly not suitable for bearing the whole weight enough. I wish PNSO use much sturdier materials on theropods' legs. Something like glassfiber plastic made by Academy. I saw their cheep airsoft spring guns made out of it and those damn things refuse to brake - someone said he dropped one from several floors above and it worked flawlessly. If PNSO's theropods' legs are made of that kind of material, PNSO would probably throw the stands away. But in reality, I've never saw any model company being able to make equivalent material of Academy's insane glassfiber - yeah, that company is weird and their glassfiber plastic is a black magic. As for Carcharodontosaurid's similarities you've mentioned from 9:43, I think this is an inevitable due to the lack of complete specimens. Specimens we humans found are fragmented and we didn't find a complete fossil yet. Unless we find prehistoric death traps like those in Morrison formation - which was filled with loads of Allosauruses - Carcharodontosaurid theropods will stay like this for a while. PNSO really did a great job at those tiny anatomical differences. Anyways... I gotta go to order a Mapusaurus roseae. Have a nice day. Thank you for a great review as always. :D Edit: The "Theropods had lips" paper(Cullen et al. 2023) has published couple of days ago. Personally, I don't mind about lips or no lips, but after I read the paper I kinda want to see PNSO theropods with lips. (Espacially Allosaurus, since it's my favorite genus.) And also I'm waiting for a paper contradicts the lip paper. Oh, yes... the arena is set. Which one will win? Will PNSO make lippy theropods?
Thanks for your comment! Well, I guess considerations for using glassfibre plastic or any other sturdier material would depend on cost, how much it holds detail, as well as accepts subtle applicationso of paint, and how would it bond with the rest of the material? I believe the GR Toys Carcharodontosaurus uses a different hard material for the legs, so it's certainly been tried before. I believe that PNSO will weigh that new info and then decide, but even if they were going to change, that probably won't happen any time soon since they've probably already done the moulding for the next few dinosaurs down the road. Actually, I think a nice strategic place to demonstrate a change would be their new iteration of Wilson T Rex. That would sell! For myself, I am completely emotionally uninvested in this, or most other debates. Each new paper that comes out is more grist for the mill of intellectual stimulation, and I'm happy either way. I will admit to preferring the lipless look, though believing more in the lipped as the more likely case.
Actually I thought it used to be a tradition for PNSO to name dinosaurs based on geography. Don't know if they've stopped that tradition. To stretch it a bit though, there _is_ a Mapuche name Millaray, so is that intentional or just a coincidence? 🤔
@@DinosDragons yah but then they have a Carno named Domingo and the T. rex is Wilson and such. And ah I see that’s fairly close. But then it seems like for Mungo and Mila they’re playing with the letter M xD But yeah honestly I’d personally love some indigenous representation in just the names. I hope to goodness they don’t make a figure of the recently discovered Yamanasaurus Lojaensis (from Ecuador of all places) and give it a Spanish name 😖
It's hard to say. I used to think there were inaccuracies in the head, particularly the maxilla. but Dr Scott Hartman told me that he thought that while the maxilla was a little pointed, it actually seemed to match his skeletal pretty well. He also likes the proportions of the rest. So I think it's probably one that I would appreciate if I could see it up close, but if you get the Vitae Giganotosaurus I don't think there are any glaring inaccuracies to be worried about, especially if you can still get the earlier run ones. The colours on that one was amazing!
@@ciuffoarancione8929 i fully get that and u have a right to have that , just saying since pnso tries to do natural and realistic, u often stuck with duller colors. Smaller theropods like dilophosaurus or feathered dinos can be supercolorful still .
@@ciuffoarancione8929 yeah , sadly idk why but they reaaaaaaaaaallly hate dromeausaurs , the only one is microraptor ( and its old and not great) , and some old minis.
That one has a really awesome and strikingly aggressive colouration in the head. I really liked it in the series. However rendered as a model, the body would seem to be similar to so many other theropod paint schemes people are already complaining of in PNSO's theropods. Instead they chose something more soothing that allows them to exhibit their skill at subtle and complex paint apps, and I think this was the better and more attractive choice.
PNSO has generally done a great job with creating balance (for a while at least until the models keel over) without clown feet, but this one especially due to the pose, will probably be the one to use the stand with right form the start! Mine barely lasted past the shooting of this video. 😥
@The Lurker PNSO has explained their interpretation before, and this was probably done way before the Cullen et al paper. I suspect any upcoming theropods they have would already have been past the moulding stage way before, so if they were going to make changes I suspect a lag time. I think introducing lips on their next iteration of Wilson would be the perfect timing!
@Joshua MajB The paper while offering another support for lips, is not going to be the end-all of this discussion. I anticipate other papers to make counterarguments. If in fact PNSO were to consider this a strong argument, they will doubtless reflect it in future models. However, as most upcoming models would already have gone past moulding stage way, it will not be possible to retool all of them without incurring cost. I suspect if they were to change their view, the next iteration of Wilson would be the most strategic time to do ti.
I love this figure, but I feel like it is a little too big. It should be almost the exact same or a little smaller than Giganotosaurus, so seeing it that much significantly larger kinda feels wrong, but it’s a great figure. Probably the best mapusaurus figure ever made so far.
It's not really significantly bigger is it? These two were probably pretty close in all respects so it's not surprising some Mapusauruses bigger some times, and other times, Giganotosaurus.
Yes it's a little disappointing, but it's the small things that trip us up. I thought they'd improved the teeth painting with Giganotosaurus and Meraxes.
As great as the sculpt, paint application and detailing are it’s really the pose that turns it off for me. This thing is literally begging to warp. All of my PNSO theropod cannot stand without the support rod, and even then they’ve warped out of potion at times.
That's the really wonderful thing about collecting. One mans' meat is another man's poison. As much as you hate this pose, others love it! I always tell myself if I don't like something, be very glad of the money I saved! 😁 But this one doesn't stand for long. Absolutely must to use the stand. It kept falling after I shot the video.
That's not news to anyone familiar with PNSO. They still subscribe to the no lip theory and time will tell if the latest paper helps change their minds.
