therizinosaurus

As much as I love the Carnegie collection, my biggest gripe is their move away from 1/40 scale. I'd like to see Carnegie do more small models, similar to the protoceratops and dimetrodon from 1988, in the future. That's not likely though, I know.

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.
What about a Carnegie Therizinosaurus?It would be really exciting,we must see moar Therizinosaurus figures.A  feathered Carnegie Therizinosaurus would be nice.

amargasaurus cazaui

They already made one, Two if you count the Dinosaurs of China piece and somehow forgive the lack of feathers for it.

The Therizinosaurus is not Wild Safari,it is from the line Great Dinos.The other one is discontinued.I mean a Carnegie Collectibles Therizinosaurus

Mostly I'd just like to see more ceratopsians. From either Carnegie/Wild Safari, or even more from Papo. (Mainly because of the texture and detail, but also for the non-neutral poses.) I'd also like to see a well done nodosaur, from Carnegie or Wild Safari. I like Papo's detail, but their ankylosaurus is SO wrong, I hold no hope for a decent nodosaur. An Apatosaurus from Papo would be interesting, but likely wrong in some important details, like the neck bulk and shape. But a redone Carnegie would be welcome.

Yes but essentially semantics, at the end of the day, all of the sets are still made by.........Safari or at least were right

If there were to be a therizinosaurian,I would rather see something that would require a bit less guesswork than Therizinosaurus itself.I would prefer something like the much more well known Falcarius utahensis. :)

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.
Carnegie did make a euoplocephalus

He really doesn't even have feet though.. lol   I have a soft spot for the ol' Steggie...he was my first/second Carnegie. I actually received him and the Brachiosaurus at the same time from my grandmother who picked them in Disney World when  I was really little.

Hmmm...Last year Concavenator was announced in 1st September.Wonder if also they'll be announce them soon...  ::)

tyrantqueen

I don't want an archeopteryx to be honest...not when the line badly needs updating with new sculpts. Carnegie is supposed to be a esteemed, museum approved line, right? That's a bit misleading when we have models like this-



...that are painfully outdated.

Four days more of voting! :D.Cheers!

Last year we also saw this guy:


What is it?An exclusive piece,a new release...?
I am confused with it :-\.If someone could explain,I would be grateful :)

morrijos

Based on Safari Ltd's Facebook comments, and other indications, I believe it's almost certain that will be producing an Archaeopteryx in 2014 or, 2015 at the latest.

I want Papo to re-release the Tyrannosaurus Rex figures with added feathers. :D

Archaeopteryx and yutyrannus from carnegie or wild safari
A sauropod from papo
That's all I want

Oh wow, I didn't know the new Carnegie Dinosaurs were still unknown. Thank god I edited my post in the other thread, haha. Anyways, I think people will like what they have in store as long as they don't expect something 'rare' or exotic.

To Juan Andres:
The mammoth calf is from Bullyland. It's roughly 3.5 inches long and stands about 3.5 inches high.
