Here's the last poll!  Vote for up to five pterosaur toys you'd like Safari to make!  And remember, a new Rhamphorhynchus is much needed! ;)


suspsy

I went with Anurognathus, Dsungaripterus, Hatzegopteryx, Jeholopterus, and Pterodaustro.

The same as Suspsy except I had Tropeognathus instead of Hatzegopteryx. 

Bread

Arambourgiania was my number one choice. I love large Pterasaurs, but my four other choices were based on popularity and what other people listed in the main wish-list thread. 

Gothmog the Baryonyx

I voted for little froggymouth Anuragnathus which is just leaping at a chance for a future, Ludodactylus for what I think are obvious reasons, Hatzegopteryx of course, a much needed Ramphorhynchus and Pterodaustro.
Megalosaurus, Iguanodon, Archaeopteryx, Cetiosaurus, Compsognathus, Hadrosaurus, Brontosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Albertosaurus, Herrerasaurus, Stenonychosaurus, Deinonychus, Maiasaura, Carnotaurus, Baryonyx, Argentinosaurus, Sinosauropteryx, Microraptor, Citipati, Mei, Tianyulong, Kulindadromeus, Zhenyuanlong, Yutyrannus, Borealopelta, Caihong

Shonisaurus

My preferences are the dsungaripterus, ptedodaustro, caulkicephalus, ludodactylus and nyctosaurus, as always I choose species of pterosaurs that would be the first in the toy dinosaur market except for the Japanese brands that have already made it seem to me the dsungaripterus and ptedodaustro.

Lots of interesting choices (and a few fragmentary ones aside) I went with Anurognathus, Hatzegopteryx (edit: hopefully similar to Witton's take on it in a hunting/standing pose), Pterodactylus (which has shockingly too little representation out there), Pterodaustro, and Tropeognathus (what the famous WWD Ornithocheirus was based upon). A few of the others appealed to me as well such as Nyctosaurus, Jeholopterus, Ludodactlyus, and a new version of Rhamphorhynchus.

Don't you hate it when you legitimately compliment someone's mustache and she gets angry with you?

avatar_Shonisaurus @Shonisaurus, Nyctosaurus has already been made too, by PNSO.


I'm surprised Hatzegopteryx is doing so well, if I'm not mistaken the only known parts of it are shown in light grey and dark grey in A below:

avatar_Sim @Sim I was unaware it was so fragmentary. The new reconstruction that's been going around of it the past couple of years had me thinking otherwise. I suppose I should have done more research on that front.

ceratopsian

Its fragmentary remains were the reason it didn't get one of my votes.

Same. I'd much rather have a figure based on something known from numerous good complete skeletons like many on this list, vs. something that will be outdated within a few years.

I voted for:

Dorygnathus - A really cool pterosaur.

Eudimorphodon - Safari currently doesn't have any Italian prehistoric animals in their line and this Triassic pterosaur would be an interesting choice to fill that gap.

Rhamphorhynchus - My favourite pterosaur.  I'm sad there isn't any accurate figure of this lovely animal.  As far as I'm concerned this is the second-most iconic pterosaur after Pteranodon,so after Safari released a much improved Pteranodon for 2019, it would be wonderful for them to release a new, much-improved Rhamphorhynchus.  I know they can make a beautiful Rhamphorhynchus!  I'd love to have one.

Pterosaur toob - This could be a great way to make lots of the pterosaurs people want.  If Safari makes this I'd request a Rhamphorhynchus is included.  I'd like the pterosaur toob's figures to be sculpted by avatar_Doug Watson @Doug Watson.

Halichoeres

I want all of these! With the possible exception of Hatzegopteryx, which I could take or leave. I'm also surprised to see so many votes for it.
