Favorite's figure and/or desktop model is grand. The most recent WS figure also deserves to be mentioned. And many will fondly remember the Invicta sculpt.

I'm not a fan of the WS figure as it seems to remind me a cobra for some reason..
...the desktop model is pleasant.
If you are looking for a "retro" old school Apato, then I recommend the Schleich Apato (or the newer 'World of History' version)

I'm also looking forward to the Papo Apato.

The Kaiyodo Dinotales one is nice.

Ok but this is the classic look
I am looking for the modern apato

triceratops83

The problem here is that unlike Triceratops, Stegosaurus, and Tyrannosaurus, there is no quintessential sauropod for figures - you'd think it'd be Apatosaurus, but it seems to be divided equally between it, Diplodocus and Brachiosaurus. If the ones mentioned don't appeal to you, maybe branch out on the Sauropods. There's a few nice Diplodocus available - Carnegie, Collecta and the upcoming Battat re-release. And as for Brachiosaurus, you beat the Wild Safari and Carnegie versions.
In the end it was not guns or bombs that defeated the aliens, but that humblest of all God's creatures... the Tyrannosaurus rex.

Blade-of-the-Moon

The ones mentioned so far are about it. Carnegie might be coming with a new one sooner or later.

You might consider looking for model kits after acquiring all these..lol

Check out the SideShow Apatosaurus. It's an expensive, but extremely well-made model.

I was wondering whether SideShow has already been mentioned (I would be disappointed if it hadn't), but must've missed that. Thanks for correcting me!

The first is a Kaiyodo. The second is one of Malcolm Mlodoch's creations, as part of his Faunacasts line.

They're nice models, but the price is more due to rarity than anything else.
