Udanoceratops is high on my want list too. I don't care who makes it but Doug Watson has an excellent track record with ceratopsians.

Arizonasaurus has been on my mind a lot lately too. Still haven't been able to find Bullyland's and we're long past due for a new one anyway. Doug Watson is good with pseudosuchians too. Mattel will probably be the one to make Arizonasaurus next. Speaking of pseudosuchians, I would like to see a Lotosaurus and Simosuchus.

I think CollectA could do an amazing Supreme Scale Simosuchus that's like 1:2 or 1:3 scale

I still want Denversaurus, and Corythosaurus as well.

They've retired quite a few ceratopsians and hadrosaurs in the past few years, maybe some replacements are in order. I'd hope for Maiasaura, Hypacrosaurus, Achelousaurus, and Kosmoceratops.

And just for fun, maybe Gallimimus, Vancleavea, Darwinopterus, Tiktaalik, and Basilosaurus.

Same here! I think it's more likely that we'll see one from Haolonggood or CollectA than from Safari though.

I actually have a Bullyland Arizonasaurus which I intend to sell, feel free to PM me if you're interested  ^-^
One day we will know the truth about Spinosaurus... but not today.

Presumably because people keep buying them. Do kids still make shoebox dioramas in school? Might explain why I see the baby dinosaurs toob in craft stores.
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.

Re-using molds is much cheaper and more efficient than making whole new ones. For big figures that they only need to make one of, it's worth the cost and time, but for up to 10 little ones that all need new sculpts, they might not be as keen on making brand new dinosaurs for a tube that already exists, rather than a new set. That's why Velociraptor, Elasmosaurus, and T. rex have multiple sculpts. They had a brand new set with a new theme.
