What prehistoric animals would you like made into figures?

Diplocaulus does have a few figures, but they're all a bit small. Depending on how closely you want to stick to a set scale range, that might be a good thing.

The scaling of diplocaulus would be an issue for me on account of the fact that I do my best to stick to 1/35 scale, which would
be fine for the largest amphibians to have ever lived. There's a high end 1/35 Lanatime Prionosuchus that I've been eyeballing for a while now. I did end up going that route for a 1/35 quetzalcoatlus - I wasn't happy with any mass produced figure of that species so I ended up paying $300 for one.
Just because I have a short attention span doesn't mean

A 1:35th scale diplocaulus would be an inch long. At that point, 3D printing might be your only option.

I wish more companies would make smaller 1/35 models as well. It'd be nice to have a 1/35 Utahraptor or Deinonychus. I believe Rebor once sold a pack of three deinonychuses however I wasn't collecting during that time and missed my chance to get them unfortunately.

I was just letting you know what the scale was, I'm not that into rigorous model scaling. I don't particularly mind what scale my models are in, as long as I have an idea as to how big the animal it's based on was (my immense love for miniatures throws any hope of consistent scale out the window).

For Permian and Triassic stuff, I find 1:20 usually works better.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.
