2017 Hopes & Dreams

[tanystropheus]

From Wild Safari I wish ceratopsians and ornithopods. Maybe some pre-mesozoic animals and ankylosaurs would be nice too. I also wish they make more "exotic" theropods in the future.

Just wondering what you mean by "more exotic theropods"?

Perhaps, a Spinophorosaurus?....but not the zombie version made by Bullyland 

Edit: read it at as sauropod for some reason

From Wild Safari I wish ceratopsians and ornithopods. Maybe some pre-mesozoic animals and ankylosaurs would be nice too. I also wish they make more "exotic" theropods in the future.

Just wondering what you mean by "more exotic theropods"?

Well I mean something like this year Masiakasaurus,  species outside the giant well known for the general public theropods like the classic Tyrannosaurus and Allosaurus,  or the recently popular Carcharodontosaurus,  Acrocanthosaurus (that doesn't mean that I dislike those,  in fact I haven't find a Acrocanthosaurus that I like more than the W. S one) . I was thinking groups  like abelisaurs or species inside the popular groups but that are under represented.  I hope I explained myself hehe.

Okay, I was a little confused since we recently did do the Masiakasaurus, Monolophosaurus, Yutyrannus, Suchomimus and to a lesser extent Ceratosaurus so I thought we were stepping outside the norm. One thing I can let you know if the majority of the cranium and to some extent post cranial material isn't known I tend not to recommend them. The recent revelations on Deinocheirus show why I am not for too much speculation based on little evidence.

I agree with you on the fragmentary remains issue,  and I was aware of those figures,  I own the Yutyrannus,  which  I think is becoming a very popular species at least on the collector's circle.  I must confess I forgot the Suchomimus hehe.  Those are good examples of thinking outside the box.
I still like to see more of those examples,  like earlier tyrannosaurs like Daspletosaurus,  something like that.   Also I think the Carnegie collection has some interesting species,  and to the new collectors those figures are going to get hard to find in time,  so maybe those are species that could be made too

[CarnegieCollector]

Deluxe amphicoelias. Yes. Yes. a 1:40 scale amphicoelias. That would be enormous. And that's a good thing

You are asking for imposible my friend, no toy company will produce such a huge thing, unless you mean the smaller species:

Aw heck no, I mean the big one!

[DinoG]

As nobody mentioned it so far I go for it: Rebor baryonix!!!

[DinoLord]

As I wish for every year, some big sauropods! Now that the Carnegie Collection is extinct the niche is open...

[Daspletodave]

Dinosaurs I'd like to see made:
Daspletosaurus
Centrosaurus and Chasmosaurus
Camptosaurus
Corythosaurus
Troodon
Plateosaurus
Prosaurolophus
Stygimoloch
Tuojiangosaurus
and for a non-dino, an American Mastodon

[tanystropheus]

As nobody mentioned it so far I go for it: Rebor baryonix!!!

but the Papo Baryonx err Suchomimus is lovely 

[Kovu]

What I want and what I predict are two totally different lists lol
What I'd like to see...

Safari:

Rubeosaurus
Gigantspinosaurus
Lambeosaurus
Deinocheirus
Majungasaurus
Paraceratherium

Papo:
It's basically confirmed we're getting Acro and Iguanodon, right?

Collecta:
A dead brontosaurus would round out their corpse-series quite nicely

[crankydinosaur]

More Mammals:

• Pelorovis
• Sivatherium
• Prehistoric horses
• American Mastodon
• Columbian Mammoth
• Cave Lion
• Cave Hyena
• Homotherium
• Bison Antiquus
• Anthracotheres
• More Prehistoric Elephants
• Toxodon
• Pyrotherium
• Other Ground Sloth species
• Short Faced Bear
• Steppe Bison
• Aepycamelus
• Barylambda
• Astrapotherium
• Oxyeana
• Patrofelis
• Mesyonyx
• Teleoceras
• Menoceros
• Elasmotherium
• Stag Moose
• Bison latifrons
• Boreophagus
• Dwarf Pronghorn
• Any of the pronghorn species
• Bison latifrons
• Dire Wolves
• Platygonus
• American Cheetah
• Chasmaporthetes

and I know you're all going to say well "blah blah is just like modern blah blah animal" but if they can make all these dinosaur figures that are rare or very similar to other species, they can branch out and start making mammals.     

oh and more Paleozoic creatures!

[suspsy]

All those great choices and you left out Synthetoceras.

[Concavenator]

I think it's very likely that Safari will relase a Deinocheirus and/or Qianzhousaurus next year.Of course I could be weong but I bet for it will happen

[Shonisaurus]

I prefer ceratópsidos that are fairly well known and at the same time are dark species:

Arrhinoceratops,

Anchiceratops,

Chasmosaurus,

centrosaurus,

Einosaurus

and protoceratops course Leptoceratops and pssitacosaurus

With a reasonable size larger than they are these creatures, so they can rub shoulders with the similar size triceratops Safari, Collecta or pentaceratops Schleich scale.

[Lanthanotus]

I'd wish that CollectA continues to release lots of exotic dinosaur species and while they are at it, plants! Oh, and I'd like the theropods unbased , however, more mini dioramas as the Hypsilophodon or Koreatops would be nice aswell.

Safari, also more plants (especially since they made "room" with the retirement of the old ones) and more triassic/permian creatures.

Battat, .... well, it's been said already.

Schleich,.... couldn't care less, I lost almost all interest in their dinosaur figures and I find it hard believe how they can be so disappointing on dinosaurs while their mammals, birds and the like are of such great quality.

Papo, please combine your skill on sculpting with more scientific accuracy and do a Plateosaurus

.... over all I'd really like to see a large and well done Diplodocus toy or other elegant sauropod.

[Halichoeres]

So many good ideas here!

First, I hope GeoWorld just straight up quits making prehistoric figures OR completely retools without all the plagiarism.

I'd like to see Colorata make some new prehistoric figures boxes: Triassic, Permian, Devonian, Cambrian...

I'd like to see Favorite expand the Prehistoric Life series, which hasn't seen a new release since 2015. Some ideas:
•Estemmenosuchus
•Xiphactinus
•Ornithoprion
•Cynognathus

I'd like to see Safari Ltd keep doing what they're doing, but more of it if it can be managed. And I'd love a new Toob or two.

I'd like to see CollectA reach try their hand at the Paleozoic.

[alexeratops]

I don't have any specific requests, but I can safely say that we are going to get a Yi Qi. It will most likely be CollectA.

(I shouldn't be acting so confident)

[profnik]

Even for the future idea of safari ltd is

Mammoths & Mastodon toobs
6:Woolly mammoth figure details include:
Sleeping
Trunks is up
charging
Digging
Head turns
Trunks down

Pygmy mammoth
Mastodon
Columbian mammoth
Baby mammoth

T-rex toob including:
2 Baby t-rex replace from dino babies toobs
T-rex running
T-rex eating
T-rex sleeping
T-rex Roaring
Qianzhousaurus
tarbosaurus
feathered t-rex
Yutyrannus

Just like pandas toobs & penguins toobs

Prehistoric south american toobs:
Megatherium
Purussaurus
Smilodon replace from prehistoric life toobs
Argentavis
gylptodon
megapiranha
Josephartigasia
thylacosmilus
macrauchenia
Toxodon

[Halichoeres]

I'd like to add one more hope: that Battat engages Forest Rogers to carry the Terra line forward, starting with the Apatosaurus that was rumored to have been the next Carnegie figure.

[suspsy]

That would be pretty keen, yes! Although first Battat has to get off their duff and release all those other toys first!

[Kovu]

I'd like to add one more hope: that Battat engages Forest Rogers to carry the Terra line forward, starting with the Apatosaurus that was rumored to have been the next Carnegie figure.

Yes. This. So much.

[Takama]

My hopes for 2017

Safari I hope make a Flying Yi qi, and produce a Styracosaurus. as usual i want a Ornithopod, Sauropod, and a Thryphran in there line up

Rebor I hope will give us a LIVEING Tenotosaurus, and focus only on herbivores that year.

Papos items are set in stone but i hope Pop of Fan can reveal whats comeing the next year and i hope its another ornithopod.

CollectA I lost interest in. If they want my attention again, they must redo all of the dinosaurs they did prior to 2011, and give all the bipeds released from 2011 on up to 2014 a base.

Geoworld I hope they give us another Dinosaur collection, one thats not so Theropod heavy.

Bullyland I hope will give us some new versions of the Core dinosaurs since the figurines have shrunk.

As for Battat. I really hate to say it.  But i hope that the line concludes with the very last models that have yet to be released.
