2015 Hopes & Dreams

[Balaur]

Ugh... And we wonder why the public still doesn't have a clue about dinosaurs. Those are disgusting!

[Concavenator]

It surely looks like a disappointing beginning for 2015.The begin of 2014 figures was an incredible CollectA Deluxe Carcharodontosaurus.This year,a grupo of awful Möjo things.Gahh,can't see those anymore plz.

[Yutyrannus]

Well Safari's (probably not Carnegie's) and Papo's models are bound to be far better. Although I still hope that the Carnegie Velociraptor (if that's what it is) is better than the last few year's Carnegie figures.

[Manatee]

My biggest hope is a Yutyrannus, but I also would like a Lythronax, Nyasasaurus, Shastasaurus, Placerias, Deinocheirus with sail, overly fluffy Velociraptor, Moschops, Anchiornis, and a Mercuriceratops from CollectA. All the others are no brand in particular.

[Hynerpeton]

I want a Raptor. When do they come out? Spring?

Yeah, they usually come out then.

[tyrantqueen]

Given Mojo's big improvement in their prehistoric mammals, I was sort of hoping that the same would happen with their dinosaurs. I'll grant that the texture and detail seems to be better than their previous efforts but they're still lacking in terms of accuracy.

The Stegosaurus looks painfully copied from the Schleich one, and why is the Tyrannosaurus' tail dragging on the ground?

If Mojo would like some constructive criticism to improve their models, I have one suggestion: stop copying Schleich's toys. They're possibly the worst company to copy from (aside from maybe Geoworld).

Oh well, hopefully someone will enjoy them

Hey thanks

[sauroid]

Mojo, what happened? I thought they were trying to improve their dinosaurs.

i think that's the most they could do for now. 
i have to admit that there's an improvement compared to their previous models.
i will still buy these figures, except the rex (i bought much worse ones in the past). and imo they are more acceptable compared to Schleich's recent output.

[Manatee]

Mojo has announced their new dinosaurs for 2015.I'm terribly disappointed with what they've done.

The T.rex and Parasaurolophus are utterly horrifying. Mojo Fun obviously has no clue whatsoever on what dinosaurs look like. They should stay away from dinosaurs and continue to produce mammals.

[Saurian]

Yikes! Yeah, those are all completely terrible. It looks like they tried to merge designs from Papo and Schelich together 

triceratops stegosaurus no bad ,if you did a good posture at T rex and Velociraptor would be very not bad,But why so conservative? There are many other amazing species.I look forward to when Collecta announce species in the past year, they have stated in the summer

[stargatedalek]

hehe, yah....
they are all horrible no matter how you pose them

the stego is meh, the brachiosaurus is emaciated, and all the others are just plain wrong

[Quen]

I think I can sum up what I would like to see come out next year by saying: 1) a sauropod 2) a feathered dromaeosaur 3) species there should be more figures of by now. Though these are directed mainly at Safari and Papo. (I'm still not sure how I feel about CollectA, it's like I should like them, but I don't; I think it's the paint colors/patterns/applications that turn me away from their figures, then again, I haven't seen a CollectA figure in person in years, so maybe I'd like them better if I saw them.) 4) Titanoboa- from anyone (except maybe Schleich or Geoworld). More specifically:

Wild Safari:
Diplodocus
Camarasaurus
Any rarely depicted sauropod
Plateosaurus
Anchiceratops or chasmosaurus
Coelophysis

Carnegie:
A fluffy dromaeosaur (I may actually get my wish here!)
An apatosaurus update- preferably 1/40, but the same scale as the 2012 brachiosaurus works too
A mamenchisaurus update
Archaeopteryx
Any obscure sauropod

Papo:
Apatosaurus or diplodocus
Amargasaurus or another sauropod with armor and/or spines

[sauroid]

cool suggestions Quendrega (altho a Titanoboa figure would just look like a boa or anaconda, just like a Megalodon figure that just looks like a great white shark.)

[amargasaurus cazaui]

Doubt you will see an updated Mamenchisaurus from Carnegie since they did not release the original one, it was released through the dinosaurs of china set, and sculpted by Ely Kish, rather than Forest Rogers.I did get the feeling from talking to Forest Rogers that this year will perhaps bring a sculpt that is not a tripodal theropod, at least.

I thought that, too, at first, but as boas and anacondas have quite different patterns and colors, some artistic liberty could be taken while painting to differentiate titanoboa from extant species (like Safari did with their deinosuchus). A way to show the size difference would be to depict it eating or constricting something that would have been too big for an anaconda or boa to have eaten. So, I do think it's possible to make a figure of titanoboa that looks different from their extant relatives, even if it would probably be easier to make it look like those relatives.

My bad; I really did try to find out which Safari line made the mamenchisaurus, but I obviously didn't look hard enough. And that is interesting news, for sure!

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

I'm hoping for a newly-discovered species with feathers from Carnegie that is not a tripod. All three would add up to an amazing dinosaur. Lythronax is likely to fit the bill but only discovered this year so unlikely, but while I'm thinking of tyrannosaurs a yutyrannus would be a good choice, although I would prefer an american species. Anzu would be nice also, but is probably harder to balance with its short tail.

Why does it have to be an American species? Any particular reason?

[Quen]

Something I forgot to mention in my earlier post: a sauropod set from Kaiyodo would be fabulous!

I've been saying that for years, hopefully either Carnegie or Wild Safari releases one in 2015.
