Most overlooked family of dinosaurs in toy form

[CityRaptor]

Well, depends on if we count repaints. They got three molds ( Big one, juvenile, small one ) with big and small in two color schemes each.

Just going off the number of species represented from easy group, I feel like it's a tie between Ornithomimids and Therizinosaurs. In recent years, each group has only gotten figures of a couple of species. One species from each has a few figures to its name, like Therizinosaurus and Deinocheirus.

Of course, I'd most likely guess that some basal groups are far more underrepresented than even a few figures. Probably a lot of Triassic animals.

When I think of the most overlooked dinosaur families, I think of Scansoriopterygidae, Troodontidae, Alvarezsauridae, Heterodontosauridae... I think the only family of small dinosaurs that has some degree of representation are dromaeosaurids, and basically, most dromaeosaur figures are either Velociraptor or Microraptor, specially the former. Those families I mentioned earlier don't have a single figure from any major company as far as I can remember, left alone good or bad figures.

In my opinion

Quality/Price measures: Spinosaurus(just spino, not the others), Stegosaurs and Carcharodontosaurs, the good ones are in the 25+ range while everything else is plain, mediocre, small, or just plain crappy(cough cough Schliech 2015 giganotosaurus)
Rarity:You guys said it
Size/scale: Obviously sauropods and small animals, you have 9-inch sauropods and 1.2-foot dimorphodons. Agreed a 1:40 dimorpho is really small and useless, but not a 1:40 dakotaraptor or a 1:40 sauropod that is not europasaurus

So what is the thread about?

[Halichoeres]

So what is the thread about?

I think it's about which dinosaur group gets the fewest figures relative to how many it SHOULD get.

[frank08]

I could think of a lot of creatures that would need that kind of treatment.

Are you gonna tell us what they are or no?   

[frank08]

Well, I think that the Ornithomimids are pretty undervalued. Along with any prehistoric crocodile that isn't Deinosuchus or Sarcosuchus. Deltadromeus could use a re release. Along with a Stokesosaurus. And maybe Terror Birds, Xiphacitnus and Leedichthys.

Borophagninae and Amphicyoninae

[frank08]

@Stegotyranno I've never heard of those, so I already agree with you

[Stegotyranno420]

@Stegotyranno I've never heard of those, so I already agree with you

Those are prehistoric dog groups
the larger and older Amphicyonines and the bone-crushing borophagines

Noasaurids

[Faelrin]

So I've been going through the list of genera on wikipedia, to find much of the ones with good remains to find potential species that could or should have a figure made in the future. I've noticed there's quite a number of sauropodomorphs that have good remains, but little to no figures (which I actually found quite surprising), in addition to the expected basal, and more derived neo-ornithischians (such as Kulindadromeus, etc), heterodontosaurids, ornithomimosaurs, oviraptorosaurs, troodontids, alvarezsaurids, and a number of other theropods (particularly anything that isn't famous or cemented in pop culture in some manner, such as paravians, abelisaurids that aren't Carnotaurus, etc). I suppose it wouldn't hurt to mention that dinosauromorphs (and dinosauriformes) are neglected as a whole as well.

Granted these have all kind of already been mentioned but I suppose it doesn't hurt to add one more voice to the pile.

[Ikessauro]

Herrerasaurids for sure

[ceratopsian]

For me it's alvarezsaurids.
