Figure in Absentia

[Killekor]

While there's been a lot of hype around Epidexipteryx and its relatives, they're so new I think it's only a matter of time before they get their own figure. Yi Qi got one in 2016. I think at this point Dakotaraptor is the most well known, but it's also a fairly recent discovery. Of the ones that have been around for a while, no one seems interested in making a Bagaceratops, but they go nuts on just about every other ceratopsian.

I hope this or next year for an Epidexipteyx, and a more detailed version of a Sinornithosaurus than the Safari feathered toob one.

[Shonisaurus]

I do not know if this species is included in the world of toys but I can think of the dinosaur drinker. I know it is not popular but it could be included among the non-made dinosaurs (in case it has never been made) in honor of Edward Drinker Cope, just so in the case of not having repeated it could be included in figures not made .

I have definitely never seen a Drinker figure. I guess the name isn't sexy enough. Should have called it Drinkersaurus or something.

Too bad Drinker was a Hypsilophodontid. If it was like a Sauropod, it sure would be a heavy drinker. See, that's the type of joke people want to avoid.

Shonisaurus - That's actually a good suggestion. I'm fairly certain there's no figure of it, but it is still known to a great many people, usually for the name alone. And is been around for a good long while, so it's unlikely a company will all of a sudden decide to make it.

That actually made me laugh, though I usually hate puns.

Drinker has one big strike against it--being a non-hadrosaur ornithopod. But I'd love to see a figure.

Hirokazu Tokugawa has sculpted several prehistoric amphibians, including a Gerrothorax [did I just hear BlueKrono's ears perk up?]--I keep hoping one day Favorite will use some of those sculpts in a release similar to their Cambrian set.

[BlueKrono]

These ears have been perked for years, sir. When I first joined this forum I chimed in on my top three paleo sculptors. Tokugawa made the cut for no other reason than his Gerrothorax figure. Also, I've named the main character in one of my stories after him. Yes, I'm an insufferable nerd.

[Halichoeres]

I ought to have known you'd be familiar with his Gerrothorax.

[Roselaar]

Wait, what? There's another Gerrothorax figure than the PV Gerro?

[BlueKrono]

There is! Dark gray lump of a thing, but yes.
