259: Haolongood Megalodon (2023) Review

Well, I finally had to do one Megolodon review! Not my favourite animal, and indeed, only interesting to me from a speculative phylogeny point of view, this is nonetheless a very nice offering from Haolonggood. It’s nicely painted, appropriately textured, and comes with a most interesting, aesthetically and functional base. Hopefully this is a good sign from marine things to come in the future from this exciting company! Cooper, J. A.; Pimiento, C.; Ferrón, H. G.; Benton, M. J.
