CollectA 2024 hopes and dreams

@Sim The BotM Cryolophosaurus will be feathered.

Yes and I'm sure it will be great.  However I'd like a non-action figure feathered Cryolophosaurus and preferably one that is fully feathered.  It seems the BotM version will be partially feathered in order to share parts with Dilophosaurus.

CollectA has also gotten very good at sauropods.  I'd like to see more good sauropodomorphs from CollectA.  A 1:40 Apatosaurus is the sauropod I'd like most.  For prosauropods, as mentioned earlier in this thread I too would like a new Plateosaurus.  If that doesn't get made I'd also be interested in a bipedal Riojasaurus or Lufengosaurus.  I wonder which company will be the first to have an accurate prosauropod toy in their prehistoric range?

Arguably, CollectA is due for a remake of their Jobaria, preferrably in a rearing up pose again. It is a taxon with good fossil representation, so they should be able to do a bang-up job.

A supreme deluxe Tupandactylus would be very cool

[Sim]

I like what CollectA has been doing with sauropods a lot and would like more from them.  I've managed to create room for one more big sauropod figure and I hope CollectA will make a 1:35 or 1:40 Brontosaurus or Barosaurus.  I'm interested in these two as I've recently read that skulls are known that probably belong to them, same for Diplodocus and Brachiosaurus.  Skulls are definitely known for Apatosaurus and Camarasaurus, but the skulls being possibly known for those others is good enough for me to be interested in them.

I love the pose and colouration of CollectA's Brontosaurus but it's too small for me, so I would be happy if they made a big version.  I also noticed that compared to the probable Brontosaurus skull and the skulls of other diplodocids, the CollectA Brontosaurus's teeth extend too far back in the mouth.  So a new figure of it could be made without that inaccuracy.

I'd also like a new Shunosaurus and Amargasaurus from CollectA.

[Sim]

I compared the CollectA Brontosaurus's mouth to the probable Brontosaurus skull and I noticed the teeth on the CollectA figure are too big and too few.  I think it's probably due to how small the figure is, but if CollectA makes a larger Brontosaurus figure and they can't make the teeth accurate, I think I'd prefer it to have a closed mouth.

@Sim I hope CollectA hears you regarding the Shunosaurus and the Amargasaurus! You literally pinpointed the two exact left sauropod genera I'm currently interested in getting a figure of (Apatosaurus aside, which Haolonggood has taken care of already).

I also think CollectA excels at sauropods, particularly in the most recent years.

I just want more stem-mammals and invertebrates. Take your pick Collecta lord knows there's plenty to choose from lol

[Halichoeres]

Stem-mammals, stem-amphibians, stem-crocodiles, stem-turtles, stem-chimaeras, stem-tuataras...

[JimoAi]

my list:

updated Pachycephalosaurus
phosphorosaurus
tarchia
an invertebrate, preferably an eurypterid
bony fish: Leedsicthys,an updated dunkleosteus, rhizodus or bonnericthys
aquilolamna
hesperornus or any related birds
an updated Ankylosaurus

[Stegotyranno420]

my list:

updated Pachycephalosaurus
phosphorosaurus
tarchia
an invertebrate, preferably an eurypterid
bony fish: Leedsicthys,an updated dunkleosteus, rhizodus or bonnericthys
aquilolamna
hesperornus or any related birds
an updated Ankylosaurus

that is a good list, regarding the fish 👍🏻

[Halichoeres]

my list:

updated Pachycephalosaurus
phosphorosaurus
tarchia
an invertebrate, preferably an eurypterid
bony fish: Leedsicthys,an updated dunkleosteus, rhizodus or bonnericthys
aquilolamna
hesperornus or any related birds
an updated Ankylosaurus

I'd buy all of the non-dinosaurs on that list, except maybe the Dunk. They did a poor job on their first one, but I'd rather see them do some other placoderm like Titanichthys or Pterichthyodes. I'd also buy Hesperornis and Tarchia.

[TheCambrianCrusader]

A female Pteranodon would also be really nice. I feel like if anyone were to make one it'd be Collecta

[SenSx]

I would like a deluxe Megalosaurus, easy for them.

[Sim]

CollectA has been making British species with some regularity.  With that in mind, I hope they redo Polacanthus.  There are no good figures for it, currently.

[Sim]

Adding to my previous post, the only ankylosaurid with a tail club CollectA has is a pair of very poor Ankylosaurus.  I would like to see them fill the gap of a good ankylosaurid in their prehistoric range.  I would be content for it to be any ankylosaurid that lacks good representation.

[Tracewyrm!]

I always look forward to CollectA's non-dinosaur/mesozoic reptile releases but really, I don't think I am familiar enough with non-mesozoic paleontology to come up with good picks so I'll leave it to other folks. As for what I'd want to see from CollectA next year:

Plateosaurus
Gigantoraptor
Gallimimus
Maip
Alioramus
Deinonychus, but just about any medium-large dromaeosaurid would do
Jobaria
Globidens
Thescelosaurus

With the release of the Haolonggood Apatosaurus, I've finally got my "Age of Reptiles" diorama the way I want it, with the exception of a plesiosaur. I've got a few doing the rotation (Favorite Plesiosaurus, Safari Liopleurodon, Collecta Elasmosaurus, the Invicta Liopleurodon - my favourite, and even the Papo Plesiosaurus.) But I think an updated Rhomaleosaurus would be the way to go. Gotta be with a closed mouth though. The old one was pretty good, however Collecta could knock it out of the park with an updated version.

In exactly one week, CollectA begins their 2024 reveals; can't wait!

In exactly one week, CollectA begins their 2024 reveals; can't wait! 

I have been thinking about it too. I don't engage in these silly 'wishes, wants, and predictions' threads, but it's on my radar we should get the first reveals next Friday!
