Any new big sauropods announced by Mattel for this year yet?

May be a bit early in the year to ask this.  Hoping for new, new.  Not a repaint or a Hammond version of one they've already done.  I was thinking that with a bit of a retool of their Dreadnoughtus to add some dermal armour, they could make an Alamosaurus.    8)

Haven't heard anything.  They are actually running out of large sauropods to make. I would guess that their might be a Hammond Collection Apatosaurus or maybe an accurate Male Brachio from JP3?  That aside they could deviate from film species and make just about anything.

Still no new big Mattel sauropod announced, eh?  Not even a repaint.   I'd take a repainted Dreadnoughtus, maybe convert it to Alamosaurus.   

I fear we are going to have a sauropodless year.

I think all the big sauropods were released around autumn, there's still plenty of time for them to announce one. I can't imagine what they would release though, and I have no real need (or space) for another one of Mattel's giants.

Diplodocus maybe? I still want a proper JP3 Male brach not a repainted female.

The Mamenchisaurus might as well be a Diplodocus.  ::) A JP3 Brachiosaurus would be the next logical choice.

I only have 2 of Mattel's big sauropods, the legacy brach and dreadnoughtus so i'm hungry for more.    I didn't get the Apatosaurus because i have the Sideshow Apatosaurus, which i feel is better ;) and i didn't get the Mamench. cause i just can't deal with that skinny neck.

i'd be content with a dread. repaint as i said but i doubt there is any canon to support it, so it may not happen.  What i'd really like is for Mattel to swing for the fences and go for a 6 foot Patagotitan.  :D
