What pterosaurs would you like a new figure of?

[Sim]

Hopefully we can have a nice accurate Rhamphorhynchus figure before 200 years have passed since it was named!

[Faelrin]

I voted for everything except Harpactognathus, and Infernodrakon. I hesitated with Thalassodromeus, as the body is not known, but the head is rather distinctive enough that it would stand out, even with a generic pterosaur body given to it, based on its closest relatives.

[Libraraptor]

My instinct immediately pushed me towards Pterodaustro, although it might be difficult to visualize the filter teeth.

[Concavenator]

Voted for Anurognathus, standing Quetzalcoatlus and Tropeognathus.

A two-pack with Aspidorhynchus.

Voted for Anurognathus, standing Quetzalcoatlus and Tropeognathus.

Do you no longer wish for a Rhamphorhynchus?

[crazy8wizard]

Do we really need a figure for Infernodrakon? It's still only one bone, pretty much any azhdarchid could stand in for it.

[Concavenator]

Voted for Anurognathus, standing Quetzalcoatlus and Tropeognathus.

Do you no longer wish for a Rhamphorhynchus?

Unless it was made in 1:30 scale (at the biggest), nope. And that is nearly impossible.

[Ajax88]

No Hatzegopteryx??

[Halichoeres]

Kind of interesting nothing has more than 60%. Lots of us seem to want pterosaurs, but there's not a lot of consensus on what that should mean. For me an azhdarchid is the lowest priority, since they're mostly quite scrappy and there are some decent figures of them already, but they're nevertheless a popular option here.

So toob figure size.  I think that's possible!

To be frank, I think pterosaur representation as figures is poor.  There are lots of unrepresented types of pterosaur and the ones represented tend to be inaccurate, or in poses that don't suit them (e.g. flying Dimorphodon and on the ground Nyctosaurus), or are giant (almost all of CollectA's modern pterosaur figures).  It's extremely frustrating, I only have two pterosaur figures currently and I had to resort to Japanese figures for them (Favorite mini Pteranodon sternbergi and Kaiyodo Cretaceous life Pteranodon longiceps).  There isn't anything better around 1:35 scale and flying for these species in my opinion.  Which is just bizzare.
When the CollectA Dearc was revealed, someone on Facebook complained that there were too many pterosaur figures.  I told them it wasn't true (as there are hardly any satisfying ones, lots of species or even groups are unrepresented, and the CollectA Dearc was the first ever good rhamphorhynchid figure).  And they responded to me with attitude saying it was their opinion.  And later praised Eofauna for making more prehistoric elephants on top of the numerous they had already made.

[crazy8wizard]

As somebody who really doesn't care about scale in the slightest, I'm happy to have any decent representation of any pterosaur. All of my votes were for pterosaurs that have rare options or ones that have no representation.

Also @Concavenator what about Anurognathus then, it's smaller than Rhamphorhynchus.

[Over9K]

Pterosaurs must be the most frustrating group of animals to model in PVC/vinyl. Wings sag horribly if you have them flying, and let's face it, a grounded pterosaur is not the most aesthetically pleasing thing to look at.... just sayin'. The words "gangly" and "awkward" come to mind.

I wish someone would figure out how to do ABS wings on PVC/vinyl bodies so they could soar!

[Concavenator]

Also @Concavenator what about Anurognathus then, it's smaller than Rhamphorhynchus.

Interestingly, that's the point! I currently collect ~ 1:35 figures, but I find the idea of owning a life-sized figure of a prehistoric animal so interesting that I'd be OK with making an exception for that. So, I'd be interested in an Anurognathus but only if it's made in 1:1 scale. Something that CollectA could pull off.

A life-sized Rhamphorhynchus however would not be that feasible and even if it got made, it would probably be too big for me. And I think even a toob-sized Rhamphorhynchus would be bigger than 1:30, so that'd be a pass for me. Actually, I'd rather have a toob-sized Dearc, I think that would be more feasible in 1:30 scale?

[Sim]

My understanding is Dearc is basically the same size as Rhamphorhynchus, with larger estimates for it being based on different possible wingspans.  I think CollectA will probably make a mini pterosaur set once they have enough large figures to shrink down, so you might be able to get a mini Dearc then!

[Protopatch]

I come back to what you wrote.
Decent flying Pterosaur offers are currently kinda lame but... Having received the Kaiyodo UHA Collect Club's Dsungaripterus (thanks to @brettnj and his super efficiency!), I was nevertheless relieved to see that it was still possible to get a nice one.
The only weak point in this figure being its fragility and its scale is not specified on the box or in the leaflet but apparently, it would be 1:20.
I also assume that figure makers might be more reluctant to produce flying pose Pterosaurs as it would imply to provide them with a stand ?
Anyway IMO, there would be a great potential in this category for further figures

[Trenchcoated Rebbachisaur]

I would commit crimes (figuratively) for a 1:1 Anurognathid, any Anurognathid, from an affordable source. Voted for every Anurognathid (except Jeholopterus, missed that one), the funky crests and a couple of the lankier ones - Moganopterus would be a great goofy conversation starter figure. I feel like someone needs to get on that 1:1 Mini-Pterosaurs/"Dinobirds" train, though, having life-size extinct figurines is massively appealing enough to get companies to produce figures of specific genera of placoderms and dinocarids, after all. Would settle for a plushie, too, I guess.

Feeling a bit greedy for wanting a T.imperator since the CollectA Caiujara is already basically that, lol. I do wish CollectA's Dimorph was just a little bit fluffier; I know Pterosaurs like to be awkward and gangly, but it's so shrinkwrapped looking. Papo's Tupuxuara was acceptable, but I missed out on it.

Quetzalcoatlus is a weird case since it has okay figurines floating around (hoping to pick one of the TNG ones up sooner or later) but nothing I would consider a be all end all - truly the T.rex of Pterosaurs. (Pteranodon is the Velociraptor).

Seconding the "No Hatzegopteryx?", also. It's certainly more deserving of a spot than Infernodrakon, imo. Though pairing it up with a similarly posed Cryodrakon model might be a fun thing to do. Maybe as part of Schleich's elemental Dinosaur fantasy line.

[Halichoeres]

Kaiyodo pterosaurs are ABS. It is pretty great that the wings don't sag after 20+ years.

A paper came out recently describing an unusually large Rhamphorhynchus specimen, interpreted as perhaps the first full adult. So a 1:30 version could be a little larger now!

[Concavenator]

@Halichoeres That's interesting. To be fair, I only mentioned being potentially interested in a mini Dearc because for some reason I thought it was larger than Rhamphorhynchus. But I'm well aware of Rhamphorhynchus being the more important taxon of the two. So, considering that extra-large Rhamphorhynchus specimen you mentioned, and that Dearc isn't necessarily/noticeably bigger than Rhamphorhynchus (thanks @Sim for the info), it's OK by me if CollectA makes a large Rhamphorhynchus. I wouldn't get it, but if they shrank it and included it in a pterosaur toob, that I would find more interesting.

Changed my votes to include Rhamphorhynchus too.
