Who could make an around 1:35 scale Saurolophus angustirostris

I've been thinking that a 1:35 scale Saurolophus angustrirostris is needed and wondering which company could make it.  Here's what I've thought:

Safari: No way would they make it large enough.
CollectA: Perhaps, they made a large Edmontosaurus annectens and are very good at making ornithopods.  They also have a number of Nemegt Formation animals: Gallimimus, Therizinosaurus, Deinocheirus... and old figures of Tarbosaurus and Alioramus...
Papo: I doubt they would make it...
Schleich: They made a large Tarbosaurus recently so perhaps they could make Saurolophus angustirostris too?
PNSO: Maybe, their Edmontosaurus is large and is one of their most popular figures.  They also have Tarbosaurus, Deinocheirus and Therizinosaurus already, so maybe they could make a Saurolophus angustirostris to go with them?
Haolonggood: I don't think they would make it after having made the other Saurolophus species.
Favorite: There is no way they would make it large enough.
Showanna: Perhaps at some point?
Boundless World: They are releasing the best figure of Tarbosaurus, so I think it's possible they could deliver the Saurolophus figure that's needed too!

I forgot about Everything Dinosaur Evolution!  Perhaps if they get to the Nemegt Formation they could be the ones to deliver a large Saurolophus angustirostris!  There's hope! :)

On the whole, I agree with your analysis and speculations here.
And egoistically, I'd of course have a preference for a PNSO's (classic and not museum line) version.
A Papo version would be desirable only if it was executed like their Sucho.

Regarding EDE however, considering that they seem to be (only ?) focused on 1:33 models, I doubt they will make a 1:35 version of S. angustirostris.

Another company who would be able to offer a 1:35 S. angustirostris is Eofauna, and they'd do an amazing job. But considering they only tackle the top most famous dinosaurs these days, a Saurolophus doesn't seem particularly likely to be coming from them.

I think that, realistically speaking, it is most likely to eventually be coming from PNSO, because PNSO have made a few hadrosaurids already and also because they've tackled other big species from the Nemegt Formation. And if/when they make it, I think no additional figures of the species will be needed.

I find it irritating when I see figures of pointless fragmentary taxa being made by them ("Hongkongosaurus", "Sinopliosaurus"), because those are slots that could've gone to important, well-known and desired species, and S. angustirostris just happens to be one of them.

It's true that Everything Dinosaur Evolution is only making 1:33 figures, but that scale is so close to 1:35 that I think a Saurolophus angustirostris from them would still fulfil the need for an around 1:35 scale one.  I've changed the title of this thread to specify that an around 1:35 S. angustirostris is requested.

I had forgotten about Eofauna!  I'd much prefer a Saurolophus angustirostris from them than yet another Edmontosaurus or a Magnapaulia.

I agree!
