10 favorite dinosaurs/prehistoric animals and favorite figure of each

[Wallnut]

This is tricky, but I'll give it a try...

1. Pterodactylus
Really, it's shameful that this is still the best version ever made.


Who makes this figure?

Tyco

[Wallnut]

1.Carcharodontosaurus Saharicus:GR Toys
2.Apatosaurus Lentus:Schleich 2008 the only inaccurasies are wrong placed nostrils and elephantine feet.

[Halichoeres]

Not sure how I lost number 7! It should be Moschops.

Well now I need to know what your favorite Moschops is.

Who makes this figure?

Tyco. This is from the DinoRiders series, but was re-released as "Quetzalcoatlus" in the Smithsonian series.

Not sure how I lost number 7! It should be Moschops.

Well now I need to know what your favorite Moschops is.

That would probably have to be the Paleo Creatures one http://dinotoyblog.com/2020/05/11/moschops-paleo-creatures/, though I'm not a huge fan. It's definitely the best, but I'd prefer a bulkier one that reminds me more of Marx or the one that made my love Moschops in the first place, Playskool.

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

Well, apart from the top few, most of the 20 to 30 favourites move around depending on what I'm thinking about at the time.

1. Baryonyx
My favourite Baryonyx would be the Favorite Co one, though I think I like the new Safari Ltd 2021 Baryonyx more,so I will call it that.

2. Maiasaura
My favourite Maiasaura would be the Battat Maiasaura that I have thankfully managed to acquire this year thanks to @Loon. I do hope someone does an updated one soon, but the Battat will always have a place.

3. Deinonychus
The Safari Ltd 2020 one of course, a beautiful sculpt by Doug Watson. Beautiful birdlike animal.

4. Chasmosaurus
Well the best is probably the Beasts of the Mesozoic but I don't have that yet, so it will have to be the CollectA, unless you count the Vagaceratops  of course...

5. Parasaurolophus
My favourite of these is the Safari Ltd 2017 even if it is a little small, with the Battat in 2nd place.

6. Chalicotherium
Well that would have to be the Bullyland which is a nice figure if not the best.

7. Camarasaurus
The new Safari Camarasaurus of course,beautiful sculpt.

8. Palaeloxodon antiquus
Well even if the Eofauna wasn't the only depiction of this animal, that would still take the top spot, absolutely stunning piece.

9. Edmontosaurus
This is partially just because it's such a big majestic animal. Of course Doug Watson's gorgeous Hadrosaur is my favourite Edmontosaurus.

10. Tuojiangosaurus
Well the new 2020/2021 Tuojiangosaurus from PNSO of course, a wonderful sculpt even with the outdated proportions. Awkrk of art.

11. Udanoceratops
I know you only want 10 but I'm mentioning number 11 because there still isn't a single figure of this animal.

[Shonisaurus]

My favourites:

1. Spinosaurus Papo limited version

2. Paraceratherium itoy of course in my case.

3. Lisowicia bojani Collecta

4. Elasmotherium Collecta

5. Diabloceratops Schleich.

6. Pachyrhinosaurus Safari

7. Megaloceros Papo

8. Dimorphodon Collecta

9. Borealopelta PNSO

and 10. Safari Feathered Tyrannosaurus.

Yeah, it's a bit spindly. I'd love a new version too.

[Stegotyranno420]

@Shonisaurus it's funny how I have the same opinion as you on those species. (If they were my favorites, )Just something I noticed

[Shonisaurus]

@Stegotyranno I am very happy that we share tastes.

I'm in the process of re-organizing and also reducing some aspects of my large collection, so this thread has made me consider my take on the question at hand. here they are, from my perspective:

1) Tyrannosaurus unfeathered - Battat, version 1. Still the king.
2) Tyrannosaurus feathered     - Wild Safari by Doug Watson
3) Triceratops                         - Wild Safari by Watson, again
4) Elasmotherium                   -CollectA
5) Megacerops                        -CollectA
6) Giganotosaurus                   -Eofauna
7) Ankylosaurus                      - PNSO
Camarasaurus                     -Wild Safari, Watson
9) Atlasaurus                           -Eofauna
10)Ichthyosaurus                     -Carnegie Safari

Apparently # eight wants to be cool and stay cool, no matter what I do with the key, so, so be it!

[Lynx]

Alright.. here's my list:

1. Hatzegopteryx (Safari Quetz, yeah it's not a hatz, but there are not many good (if any) hatz figures)

2. Mei Long (Again, not many of these. But PNSOs mini Mei comes out on top)

3. Triceratops (Eofuana Triceratops)

4. Spinosaurus (GR Toys Spinosaurus)

5. Xenoceratops (CollectA Xenoceratops)

6. Deinonychus (Safari feathered deinon)

7. Microraptor (PNSO Microraptor 2020 version)

8. Metriacanthosaurus (No figures for it.. yet!)

9. Thanos (No figures for it just yet)

10. Kentrosaurus (PNSO Kentrosaurus)

[Lynx]

Safari never made a Xenoceratops.

Ack sorry, got mixed up with collectA.
For some reason I remembered the figure as a safari one. my bad

[Sim]

@Lynx, CollectA and Mattel have made a Metriacanthosaurus.  CollectA has also made a Hatzegopteryx.
