Where are the Columbian Mammoth toys?

[crazy8wizard]

After working in a museum gift shop for a while I've noticed something that completely baffled me. Despite being larger and having a very wide distribution, no company has made a mass produced Columbian Mammoth toy of any variety. There are a few customs, bronze sculptures, and resin kits that can get really expensive but not much else. I can see Eofauna or CollectA making one but what do you all think?

The entire reason I'm collecting EoFauna's proboscideans is the eventual Columbian Mammoth...

I have been wanting a figure of a Columbian mammoth for years now. It would be great to have one in a similar scale to the American Mastodon figure Safari Ltd made.

Yeah, I'm confused by this, too. I would have thought for sure that Eofauna or CollectA would have made one by now. I've got the gorgeous skeletal from Wonder Artistic Models and I want a figure to display with it.

I especially want a company to make an affordable model because the premier fossil at the museum I work at has a bunch of pathologies and I don't want to mess up an expensive model to make a custom of it.

Excellent suggestion - and I'd love to see a prehistoric elephants toob for those of us with little space.

Proboscideans in general are poorly represented beyond woolly mammoths. Thank goodness for Eofauna. I kind of wish they'd stick to proboscideans and leave the dinosaurs to the other companies. I have a hunch that they wish they could do that too, but I guess the market isn't cooperating with them.

I think prehistoric mammals are underrepresented in general, especially considering how much space they occupy in museums. A Columbian mammoth from Safari or Papo would be great if their modern elephants are anything to go by.

If the relative numbers of people who mark their dinosaur vs. proboscideans figures as "I own this" on dinotoycollector are anything to go by, I'd say you're right.

This isn't quite a toy, but  more affordable than a resin kit: the one from Ancestors Models

Hate to say it, but I find mammoths the most boring of all the prehistoric proboscideans. I much prefer weirder ones like Platybelodon and Stegotetrabelodon.

Although I would make an exception for the adorable pygmy mammoth, which evolved directly from the Colombian mammoth. I would love a toy of that one from CollectA or Safari.
