I would love to see a utahraptor figure, and not just because it's my favorite dino, i think it would be a cool figure ( and it would be great if they made it to scale with some of their other figures )  :)

I'm not sure if there is actually enough Utahraptor material to create a really nice accurate figure though. :/
I know, but i think we need more Utahraptor toys on the market. even on places like amazon and Ebay, utahraptors are hard to find.  :(

Well a lack of material explains why. Safari and CollectA have done one in the past though and if you count the Jurassic Park Velociraptors as Utahraptors then there is a score of em' out there..lol
True, true... but i was going more off comparison, there are allot more say, t-rexes than utahraptors on the toy dino market.

Well comparing T-Rex's popularity to Utahraptor is like comparing Coke-a-cola to say MUG root beer.  It's taking on the KING in more ways than one and it falls short...Rex has also been around quite a bit longer.

If your looking for a good replica though I would still go with the CollectA as it's the most current.

You have a very good point. And i just remembered the WWD utahraptor and the famemaster 4D model, so yeah i guess there are a few good ones out there, even if there aren't allot of choices.

Well, CollectA made a feathered Utahraptor, but sadly it wasn't very big or particularly well detailed



Geoworld also made a Utahraptor, but I don't really consider any of their stuff worth buying (in my personal opinion)

Even as a Tyrannosaurus fangirl, I think we have enough rex replicas for a while. I would love to see some less ubiquitous species.

All depends on what you consider a " lot " bud.. lol some dinos still don't even have one replica.. ;)

Exotic pterosaurs (e.g. Dsungaripterus, Ludodactylus, Hatzegopteryx). Exotic ceratopsians (e.g. Chasmosaurus, Medusaceratops), Pentaceratops, Einiosaurus). Exotic marine reptiles. Basilosaurus. Prehistoric crocodiles (rat croc, boar croc). Terror birds. Nuralagus Rex. Ornithomimids and hadrosaurs (e.g. Lambeosaurus) - they can go in quite a few directions, as far as I am concerned  :)
