heart desire a stegosaurus, amargasaurus, T. rex, mastodon, woolly rhinoceros and parasaurolophus by Eofauna

Good list

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

Yes to Amargasaurus, and maybe Parasaurolophus so it'll actually be a better scale than the huge PNSO one.
But definitely no to the rest.

Don't like it don't buy it

[Grimbeard]

IIRC, EoFauna stated once that they want to stay at the 4 "paths" they have established for now: Theropods, Proboscidea, Sauropods and Ceratopsians.  My personal picks for not-yet-confirmed species:

Sauropods: Saltasaurus or Plateosaurus

Ceratopsians: Chasmosaurus or Centrosaurus

Theropod: Concavenator or Carnotaurus

Proboscidea: American Mastodon or Wolly Mammoth

[Fembrogon]

I would very much like to see Eofauna tackle Dilophosaurus; there's ample room for more figures of the revised 2020 depiction, and Eofauna is one of the companies who could knock it out of the park.

A Nigersaurus or Saltasaurus would be a nice choice for a sauropod; they're smaller, but recognizable genera, and the best figures of them are out of production.

Chasmosaurus would be a good ceratopsian to cover - or Torosaurus. I would really like a new, definitive Torosaurus, and I imagine it would be much more affordable than PNSO's.

I'd like to have a Platybelodon in my collection; but since we're already getting Konobelodon maybe that's unlikely. Would Moeritherium count as a proboscidean? I can't even think of any Moeritherium toys.

I still want Platy. Also, Moeritherium is very cool, so I will say yes

[Renecito]

Gigantoraptor.
Deinocheirus.
Suchomimus.

[Jorge Mario]

Stegosaurus, tuojiangosaurus or Dacentrurus.

[Shonisaurus]

I would like a spinosaurus, concavenator and turiasaurus or also a tyrannosaurus rex, anancus and a kosmoceratops (I love that ceratopside). The kosmoceratops that I have news about are the beautiful Jetoar but you have to have it in a showcase, the BoTM one (an acceptable choice since I plan to collect it over time in everythingdinosaur, but nevertheless it is very articulate) and the Collecta one ( that unfortunately belongs to its first years of production and although it is well done according to the context of the time it is a very small figure).

[austrosaurus]

IIRC, EoFauna stated once that they want to stay at the 4 "paths" they have established for now: Theropods, Proboscidea, Sauropods and Ceratopsians.

If they're going to stick with their current focus groups:

LARGE THEROPODS: Tarbosaurus, Torvosaurus, Acrocanthosaurus, Baryonyx, Majungasaurus

PROBOSCIDEANS: Moeritherium, Platybelodon, Sinomastodon, Stegotrabelodon, Zygolophodon

SAUROPODS: Turiasaurus, Dicraeosaurus, Wintonotitan, Kotasaurus, Supersaurus

CERATOPSIANS: Styracosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, Diabloceratops, Nasutoceratops, Anchiceratops

However, if they want to expand their selection criteria then I think a series of large ornithopods or thyreophorans in their style would be excellent.

Ceratopsians: Chasmosaurus or Centrosaurus

Proboscidea: American Mastodon or Wolly Mammoth

no, they did not. They said the 4 are Theropods, Sauropods, Ornithiscians and Proboscideans.
It's just that their first Ornithiscian is a Ceratopsian, but the second could be a Hadrosaur or Ankylosaur for example.

[SidB]

Whew, that's good to know that these are still on the table for Eofauna, @Gothmog the Baryonyx .

[Sim]

Eofauna actually said the four groups they will focus on are theropods, proboscideans, sauropodomorphs and ornithischians, you can see that here: http://www.eofauna.com/figures/eofauna-figures-questionnaire

I think it's unfortunate that ornithischians keep getting oversplit when their diversity is equal to that of Mesozoic theropods, and sauropodomorphs get called "sauropods" when there are basal members in that group too which shouldn't get excluded.

In any case, I think I won't participate further in this thread as Eofauna's releases are so few, and they have their questionnaire for what people would like them to make, so this thread doesn't seem to have much purpose.  Also, some of the suggestions made by people here seem to miss the idea behind Eofauna's figures.

[Grimbeard]

@Gothmog the Baryonyx
Thanks for the correction, so I head it wrong in my mind. So this basically boils down to almost all dinosaur clades + Proboscideans, neat.

[JohannesB]

Yes to Amargasaurus, and maybe Parasaurolophus so it'll actually be a better scale than the huge PNSO one.
But definitely no to the rest.

Don't like it don't buy it

Obviously

[suspsy]

I wonder if Eofauna will ever endeavour to make Palaeoxodon namadicus. Granted, it would essentially be an upsized P. antiquus, but a bigger size, proportionally shorter tusks, and a different pose would certainly distinguish it.

That said, I'd definitely rather see totally new proboscidean genera like Stegotetrabelodon first.

Lists on that thread are limited to five

[Sim]

Well, you could always list more than five species per group in the Eofauna questionnaire thread.  Although given how few figures Eofauna makes per year, I think lists that are so long they can't even be read really miss the point.  If you're going to do that, why not just say you'd be interested in Eofauna making pretty much anything?  Especially if you're going to list something whose appearance is fantasy like Deltadromeus.
