Thoughts on what could come next from CollectA

Yes, CollectA's Bajadasaurus and Brontosaurus are great, I have both and I'm delighted with the Brontosaurus.  I was just talking about how CollectA hasn't made a deluxe diplodocoid since they started making great sauropods.  And with regards to that, I consider the following CollectA's great sauropod figures, starting with their year of release:
2015: Daxiatitan
2018: Brontosaurus
2020: Bajadasaurus
2021: Mamenchisaurus
2023: Ruyangosaurus
2024: Dreadnoughtus
2025: Ingentia


Halichoeres

Looking like a small number of releases this year. But they've packed a lot of variety in. There might still be room for a giant pterosaur.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

avatar_Halichoeres @Halichoeres - I think it appears to be a small number of releases because there are 5 Fridays in November this year, so they are spreading their normal 4 weeks of announcements over 5 weeks (and it's been confirmed, I believe, there are still two weeks of reveals to go).

Sure, so maybe two more reveals? Three if they double up the last week? Six or seven new figures is still kind of a low number compared to many past years for CollectA. Still, the ones we're getting are pretty solid in my view, especially the Jaekelopterus.

Or a plesiosauroid!

That's right too! They might release a plesiosauroid (Elasmosaurus) eventually. That one at least is long enough to have a shot at being considered. Realistically, that's the only plesiosauroid I can see them considering, even though as far as plesiosauroids are concerned, there are better options, like Futabasaurus, as you requested.
