Safari Ltd 2023 Wishlist

Another species I'd like from Safari is Plesiosaurus dolichodeirus.  As mentioned earlier in this thread, Safari's last plesiosauroid is their 2013 Elasmosaurus.  I actually have and very much like that Elasmosaurus, but I would like a Plesiosaurus too.  Safari's Elasmosaurus is one of their best-selling figures, so I imagine a Plesiosaurus by Safari would sell well too.

I would like a decent Plesiosaurus too. It's surprising there aren't more of them. I've been tempted to get the Favorite one but I would rather one from Safari.

Stuckasaurus (Dino Dad Reviews)

A classic, proper Plesiosaurus would be nice, but I would be happy with any plesiosaur that isn't functionally indistinguishable from Elasmosaurus. Rhomaleosaurus would be really cool, since the Collecta one was retired before I ever bought it.  :(

The CollectA Rhomaleosaurus is quite terrible, so I wouldn't worry about having missed it.  I think PNSO would be a better candidate for making a Rhomaleosaurus as they have quite a record of making more than one animal from a family for a given year.  Safari on the other hand doesn't, although they have done it a couple of times.  And Safari has in recent years made a pliosauroid, mosasaur, ichthyosaur and metriorhynchid.  So I think we're due a new plesiosauroid from Safari.  Rhomaleosaurus is a pliosauroid.

I'd also like a Rhomaleosaurus for the same reason.
I don't mind that it's an ugly figure, it's only a little ugly, not hideous, and I'd rather have an ugly figure of an animal than no figure at all. And I only just missed one on eBay as well that I saw for ages but didn't realise at the time it was retired else I would not have waited.

Plesiosaurus has always been my favorite marine reptile (with Ichthyosaurus second). Agreed on wanting to see Safari Ltd do one.

After receiving the Princeton Field Guide to Mesozoic Sea Reptiles for Xmas, I've decided I'd like to see fewer plesiosaurs and mosasaurs and more freaky beasts like Sclerocormus, Eretmorhipis, Hupehsuchus, Xinpusaurus, and Henodus.
