Re: Eofauna Scientific Research - New for 2025

Now I am curious if there would be a second dinosaur as well.

Second dinosaur please (fingers crossed, Iguanodon)!

[GojiraGuy1954]

Magnapaulia and Iguanodon would be cool. Edmontosaurus annectens would make sense, but I really would like to see a Dryosaurus. Very small for EoFauna's size range, but it's one of the more famous ornithopods and doesn't have a good representative model on the market right now.

[DefinitelyNOTDilo]

Eofauna in my mind have always been the sauropod guys, so I'd like to see one from them. My picks would be Nigersaurus, Amargasaurus, or Shunosaurus. All species in need of good figures or figures at all.

This would also be ideal for me, dinosaur-wise from Eofauna, as I no longer display either my CollectA or Safari ones (despite their good points), as I have room for only one, the PNSO with its superior quality of detail. However I'd like an Iguanodon with a more traditional boxy skull, instead of the PNSO's less classic, Mantellisaurus-shaped one. I believe that an Eofauna figure might just fit the bill.

[JohannesB]

I thought that "boxy" means that the measurements along the X and Y axis are closer, not that the skull is just deeper (bigger along the Z axis, relative to the X axis) even as the snout/skull is laterally narrow. I have seen at least two or three references to the skull shape of Iguanodon as used in the PNSO model of that species (for example Fastovsky and Weishampel, 2021), but it would be nice to get a Iguanodon model from a company like Eofauna that has the more consensual (?) skull. In any case, Iguanodon is one of my favourite dinosaurs, and a PNSO model of that species would be very welcome, whatever the shape of its skull

[SidB]

The skull shapes of both the CollectA and Safari Iguaunodon figures are actually closer to what I'd want, though, oddly enough I suppose, both have been displaced on the dis[lay shelf by the PNSO one with its more Mantellisaurus -like one, simply because of its wonderful production value overall. But its due for replacement if I can get a figure that combines the best of both worlds. Either HLG or Eofauna seem quite capable now of accomplishing the task.

[Quiversaurus]

Either HLG or Eofauna seem quite capable now of accomplishing the task.

Agreed, this is my view as well. If HLG or Eofauna rolls out an Iguanodon in what I call the style of a "flagship" model / species, much like HLG's S. ungulatus and most recent Triceratops, and Eofauna's just-announced Ankylosaurus, I'm sure it would make a lot of people happy.

Eofauna seems to be taking particularly long to fully reveal their third toy.

Second teaser image of figure number 3:

I'm thinking Columbian mammoth...long overdue if you ask me...

[CARN0TAURUS]

Eofauna seems to be taking particularly long to fully reveal their third toy.

Sure seems like it.

[thomasw100]

Mammuthus columbi confirmed.

[Flaffy]

Another easy win from Eofauna. Glad for those who have been requesting the Colombian mammoth for all these years!

I prefer the tamer poses like these as opposed to the really showy ones.

[bmathison1972]

Nice! New species for me, so I am getting it!

[Faelrin]

I'm glad they finally did a Columbian mammoth after years of folks asking for one from them. Makes sense to release alongside the American Mastodon as well since they lived together more or less.

[Pliosaurking]

Looks great, glad it's a underrepresented species.

[crazy8wizard]

Finally!

[oscars_dinos]

I've never gotten an eofuana figure, are they as glossy as the promo pics seem

Not as noticeable as in the promo pics, but their figures definitely have a glossier finish than other companies.

[CARN0TAURUS]

Mammuthus columbi confirmed.

Can't believe how under represented this species is.  I was at La Brea a few months ago and grew up in Southern California and there are so many specimens of these guys.  Very well researched and barely any figures of it, I don't understand why. 

Just me or is this supposed to be posed in a pushing match with their new mastodon?
