2014 Hopes & Dreams

[tyrantqueen]

Do we actully define resculpt properly? Take the Carnegie Diplo for example. The original Sculpt was refined in 1996, making this a resculpt, but the 2008 Version is a completely new sculpt, not a modified Version of the old sculpt.

Call it a new sculpt, then.

I have created a new poll, this time with Papo.
The poll's duration is 7 days.Happy voting!

[Concavenator]

I personally don't expect a Papo Apatosaurus in 2014.I think it's still early to release another giant sauropod to their range after including the massive Brachiosaurus released last year.A Papo Diabloceratops would be impressive,but I think Papo doesn't release exotic dinosaurs,so I think it's unlikely.A Papo Therizinosaurus would be amazing.The problem is that maybe they wouldn't opt to make a feathered one,but anyways,feathered or bald,or with quills it would great.And we can't see Therizinosaurus figures very often,so would be exciting to see.In my opinion is likely that the Papo Giganotosaurus will be released in 2014.There are suggestions for it since several years ago,and we've made a request for it and has been sent.Looking at their amazing theropods(Allosaurus,running Tyrannosaurus rex ,Carnotaurus...),I think a Papo Giganotosaurus would be the definitive Giganotosaurus.For accuracy we have the Carnegie one,which is AWESOME(I have it) ,but for detail ,I hope we'll receive a Papo Giganotosaurus.I also wish them to have more diversity.A Papo Suchomimus(in their style,but scientifically accurate would great,however,we don't have any serious figure for this dinosaur,and would be a beauty.

Uh, the poll is not working.

Uh, the poll is not working.

I don't know how to put more than 1 poll in a topic.If someone can tell me,I could mend it

[sauroid]

just start a new thread i guess.

[Concavenator]

Hi all,
I couldn't open a 2nd poll in the last topic,so now I am creating the part 2 of the topic.

Also,I visited the Wikipedia Carnegie Collection page and says,literly:
2014:Kosmoceratops
I don't if it is a falsehood,because it appears without scale,and we all know the Carnegie Collection is based on scaled models.The Kosmo also appeared in April for a while in the same page,but dissappeared.Now appears again.
By the way,I'll manage to create a poll.
Cheers!

We do regular trawls to pick up any leaks such as this, and we notified Safari Ltd about the first Kosmoceratops reference a few months ago.  Safari were able to get this reference removed, we know how keen collectors are to hear about new models and such like but the design and production processes have to be managed properly, its  a case of being fair to the manufacturers.  We can't comment on any 2014 releases yet, such information remains as an embargo.  So many rumours circulate and so much information is false that our best advice is to wait to receive news via official channels - Everything Dinosaur's blog is one such place where you can pick up lots of information.  The lead time from any announcement to manufacture and delivery is such that information about new lines is in the public domain long before models are actually in stock anywhere.

I wouldn't get my hopes up for a Kosmoceratops too much if I were you,it's just someone putting a guess as to what next year's Carnegie Museum dinosaur will be.Last year someone put Einiosaurus and a new sculpt of Deinonychus then later the aforementioned Kosmoceratops as 2013's releases,and in reality it would turn out to be none of them.I am personally expecting at least a new sculpt of something already in the line (I think the most likely candidate could be either Apatosaurus,Allosaurus or Stegosaurus)
As for Papo,well that one is even harder to predict...I'll throw out the names Giganotosaurus and Apatosaurus and see if either of those names end up sticking.

[Everything_Dinosaur]

Without giving too much away we can confirm that there is no plans for a Komoceratops sculpt from Safari Ltd.  Expect the Wikipedia article to be corrected in the next few days etc.  No official release of information from Safari Ltd until September at the earliest.

[Concavenator]

 Talking about Papo I personally expect a Giganotosaurus and a surprise.Apparently Papo is going to relase more than 1 figure for 2014(see the 2013 figures thread,page 120 and 121).I think is too early to release an Apatosaurus after the massive Brachiosaurus.

Wikipedia doesn't mean anything. Anyone can edit it.

The 1st model cleared for 2014 is...CollectA deluxe Carcharodontosaurus!!

I am very excited about the 2014 revelations.Safari have said:
"We can't reveal any information regarding future releases, but I can promise that our Product Development Team works tirelessly to introduce fierce, high-quality dinos every year Keep an eye out in November for the announcement of our 2014 intros!"
That's really really exciting,wonder if someone knows something of the upcoming figures...?

Carnegie doing a Tyrannosaurus again? We have too many Tyrannosaurus. Do something new or re-sculpt older figures that needs a face-lift more. Like Stegosaurus or Iguanodon.

Some would disagree..lol

The thing T-Rex is a household name..everyone and especially every kid knows it..so if they want to sel la toy a new Rex is a good way to pretty much insure it.

[Gwangi]

Tyrannosaurus has been done before but despite being so popular it seems like it is seldom done well. For that reason I would welcome a new Tyrannosaurus from Carnegie.
