2014 Hopes & Dreams

[Concavenator]

Like Takama I would like to see a Yutyrannus from any company. I suppose I would prefer it most if Carnegie, Safari or Papo made one. A properly feathered dinosaur from Papo would be intense.
I'm also hoping for a Camarasaurus. I know Carnegie made an excellent one but it's one of my favorite sauropods, I want another! I know that isn't likely.
An Acrocanthosaurus from Papo or Carnegie would be welcomed.

From Papo specifically I would love to see an Apatosaurus, Amargasaurus or Ceratosaurus.
Carnegie...more diversity please, beyond that I don't care.
Safari...just keep up the great work. I've really been enjoying their latest releases. Even the big-footed theropods.
CollectA...don't care, was not impressed this year. A lot from last year ended up being let downs IMO.
Schleich...don't care.
Mojo...stick to mammals. Still waiting for this years releases. Those are high priority for me.

You aren't the only one who want a Yutyrannus.I also want it!!I would really like to see a CollectA Yutyrannus or a Carnegie/Wild Safari one.

Hmmm....wonder if Dan knows anything about upcoming figures...? 

Hmmm...*suspense music*.Who knows?...

It should be noted that 2014 will mark the 25th anniversary of the original release of the Carnegie Collection.So I would expect at least one from 1989 to get a new updated sculpt.

That would be nice, wouldn't it? 

Oh... oh, Dan. That couldn't be anymore coyer than it is. I totally see it. You're being so coy... 

I think that Carnegie will release two new dinosaurs, and resculpt an adult Tyrannosaurus with feathers and have a baby to accompany.

It was said they were prepping for the Anniversary this coming year..so they have had time to it justice..I only hope that means a good number of new and interesting pieces.

Was it ever figured out if they were planning more figures based on that one piece of art by Luis Rey ? Recall the Brachiosaurus's coloration was based on it and it was displayed at their booth.

Do you mean that they have said they are preparing some figures for 2014,the Anniversary?

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

I do believe that was said or mentioned somewhere...I believe that was why we only received the Concavenator this year.

Some people here says a brand new Carnegie Tyrannosaurus (Anniversary Tyrannosaurus rex)is likely to be released.A feathered Carnegie Tyrannosaurus would be stellar,but,isn't the actual Carnegie Tyrannosaurus the latest version  of Tyrannosaurus produced by Carnegie?Isn't it supposed to be the Last carnegie Tyrannosaurus?I think 2014 would be an appropiate year per making resculpts of the classic ones,but I think the most likely is a brand-new Apatosaurus(in my opinion)I also expect at least one Yutyrannus,from CollectA or Wild safari.

"This latest resculpt of the Allosaurus for the Carnegie Collection displays all the distinguishing characteristics of the species, including the hooked foreclaws and lacrimal ridges.  It is very desktop friendly at 24 centimeters in length, and realistically colored in neutral earth tones, suitable for an ambush "
This is what the description on the Carnegie Allosaurus at DansDinosaurs."The latest resculpt".So,I don't think we can see a resculpt of Allosaurus!:(

That Allosaurus is an old figure, despite what Dan's Dinosaurs says. It doesn't reflect Forest Rogers' current sculpting style. I think she could make an incredible sculpt of Allosaurus if given the chance by Carnegie.

1995 is not recent.

Also, I don't want another Tyrannosaurus from Carnegie. I like the Anniversary Rex very much, and would prefer that Carnegie update their worst models, such as their Acrocanthosaurus and Allosaurus.

Totally agree with you a new Forest Rogers Allosaurus would be unleashing,and the quality on the actual Carnegie Allosaurus isn't at the actual Carnegie line.Hope can get better treatment.Allosaurus is one of the most important dinos of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History,so they could consider it.

I don't think Papo will release an Apatosaurus for 2014.I want it,but I don't expect it for next year.But if it would be released it would be awesome.I said to ED and said:

Thank you for your comment, Papo have cut their teeth on Sauropods with the recently introduced Brachiosaurus, slightly smaller sculpts than the Brachiosaurus can be expected next year.
But there's a page called"Dino Dojo.blogpot.com"that says Papo will release an Apatosaurus in 2014(Still not sure ).A Sideshow inspired Dilophosaurus would be great.I think Papo should get more Sideshow-inspired figures;they are great(see Papo Styacosaurus and Carnotaurus)I fully expect a Papo Giganotosaurus.The same page who said the Apatosaurus' issue says the same with Giganotosaurus.
Hope it can be true

How about TWO Carnegie Tyrannosaurs.... each one in the exact same poses as the two skeletons on display at the Carnegie itself (the original T. rex and the cast of the Peck's Rex)?  Put them in a collectors box and add an Edmontosaur carcass in for good measure (again, like the real display).  If you wanna dream, dream big...

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

When it comes to Carnegie, I am hoping for a fully-feathered deinonychus, or other deinonychosaur. It has been a long time since the original trio was retired, and raptors are popularly-known to most people. There were rumors about them last year, if I remember correctly.

Not exactly.(I think).Sometimes in the Carnegie Collection someone puts dinosaurs in the page dinosaur names (without know reason,he/she just puts the name because he/she thinks it is likely to be released,his/her expectations or just dreams.And appeared the Deinonychus along with Einosaurus.The same happened me on April,I was surfing in the Internet,visited the page and appeared a 2014 Carnegie Kosmoceratops.I was very excited but some days later it disappeared.Anyway I think Deinonychus(or another feathered dromaeosaurid)is likely to be released in the future,because people suggest it a lot and these things

That would be fantastic!

Carnegie is the ultimate museum line, but sure has a lot of dead wood in their line up. IMO they should retire every dino from 1989 to 2003, of course not all at one time. They should replace the more popular dinos with new scuplts - that means a new Allosaurus, Stegosaurus, Apatosaurus, Iguanodon, T-Rex, Triceratops, Kronosaurus, Pteranodon, etc. I'd like to see them do 3 dinos a year - one brand new species and two resculpts.
On another note, Carnegie is also missing some very important dinosaur types in their line up - the ornithomimids, primitive sauropods, herrerasauridae, therizinosauridae, troodontidae, lesothosauria, heterodontosauria, hypsilophodontidae, and nodosaurids. I'd like to see them fill in at least some of these dinosaur groups.

This product description was true when I first wrote it a few years ago, and it is still true today. Being the most recent version does not mean something cannot be old as well, because we can also say that the current Carnegie Apatosaurus is also the most recent version.

Carnegie does have a Plateosaurus for the primitive sauropods and Beipiaosaurus for the therizinosauridae but I agree, it would be nice to see some more diversity in the line. Unbelievable that haven't done a nodosaurid yet. In fact, I think Ankylosaurus is their only ankylosaur but at least it is a good one. Even Battat had a nodosaurid.

[Concavenator]

In my opinion,the Carnegie Apatosaurus is a bit"old".In 2008 released a resculpt of the old Diplodocus.
In 2012 Carnegie released a striking Brachiosaurus.If I remember correctly someone said last year that the rest of sculpts were for 2014.It could be more scientifically accurate(its actual neck position is not correct and drags its tail(also incorect for diplodocids),plus the paintjob,who could be more colorful.
