More Prehistoric Life figures would definitely be nice; I think most of my (ahem) favorite figures from the company so far have been non-dinosaurs.

The big Para looks pretty good. I wish more international retailers could/would connect with Favorite to stock their figures.

CARN0TAURUS

That pose looks very similar to the 2013 release.  LOL, at first I thought it was a repainted re-release :)

avatar_Halichoeres @Halichoeres Thanks for making the thread and sorry for not responding in the other one. I haven't check the forum for a couple of days.

avatar_Fembrogon @Fembrogon I agree, I'd love to see more non-dinosaurs. I really like their Cambrian set.

Shonisaurus

That Favorite parasaurolophus reminds me of the Humboldt Museum version that Schleich launched back in the day. The color and pose of the vinyl figure is very similar.

First thing I thought too.

Oh don't worry! That happens to me too (clearly!). Thanks again for bringing it to our attention.

Yet another Giganotosaurus, an even larger squishy vinyl model than the last squishy vinyl Giganotosaurus from Favorite Co.

Looks like we have a Dilophosaurus and Therizinosaurus on the horizon

Gwangi

Those both look very promising.


Flaffy

Not convinced by either sculpt tbh.

Don't have Instagram, so I couldn't see that post, but their Twitter feed had it too. And here for your convenience:


Congratulations to Therizinosaurus for achieving "stock dinosaur" status, which is the only way to be made in Favorite Co's core Dinosaur Soft Model line!

I suppose we have Jurassic World to thank for that. I'm cool with it though, I'm not satisfied by any Therizinosaurus (or Dilophosaurus) currently on the market.

Very happy to see a feathered Dilophosaurus.

I didn't even notice that it had feathers, I guess I was distracted by the crest. Yes, that makes it significantly more appealing, although I would have preferred a full body covering.

Gothmog the Baryonyx

What is their name on Twitter, how do you find them?
Megalosaurus, Iguanodon, Archaeopteryx, Cetiosaurus, Compsognathus, Hadrosaurus, Brontosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Albertosaurus, Herrerasaurus, Stenonychosaurus, Deinonychus, Maiasaura, Carnotaurus, Baryonyx, Argentinosaurus, Sinosauropteryx, Microraptor, Citipati, Mei, Tianyulong, Kulindadromeus, Zhenyuanlong, Yutyrannus, Borealopelta, Caihong

Last time we had a feathered Dilophosaurus was the one from Bullyland. Nice to see Favorite do a new one. Glad to see the Therizinosaurus as well. Depending on if their colorations appeal to me I may want to pick these up. Also depends on how they size up with other figures in my collection (including their Diplodocus released a few years ago).

A feathered dilophosaurus is rather exciting, I hope the color will look good. The therizinosaurus looks quite nice and, to my untrained eye, it seems that it may have the fourth digit on the foot touching the ground, so if that's the case another point for me. If the paint is nice and they're in a scale I like I think i'll pick these up.
