I was able to download some pics but I'll be getting the text soon. Too big for the Terra Series, about 10" long, so this would absolutely be a good candidate for the former MOS series. Thanks
Is Glacialisaurus too small, and are its remains fragmented? Because I would love one to go with the cryolophasaurus

It's a prosauropod similar to Plateosaurus in the 20 to 25 foot range, but it's only known from some foot elements.

Oh, ok, hope we find more material on it, Poor cryolophasaurus is going to starve

Guess you'll have to use the Plateosaurus as a stand-in.
Yeah :'(, Would placers be too small to make, and is this restricted to dinosaurs?

DinoLord

Not sure what you mean by placers, but Dan has stated that (for now at least) the line will be dinosaurs only.

I want to see a nigersaurus

Nigersaurus is on my short list for either Terra set 3 or the expanded former MOS line

I can see that one being a good fit for the Terra line; it would probably sell well with kids!

Is Allosaurus in the list as well? (Fingers crossed)  :D

Dan, are you considering Herrerasaurus?  I was surprised it wasn't in Terra series 2, as many people on here, myself included, felt it would be a great choice.  Despite being one of the most primitive dinosaurs, it had good characteristics for survival at a time when dinosaurs weren't the dominant land animals.  It's a very interesting and cool dinosaur, and it's known from great fossil remains, including a complete skull!  The only available toy of it is the CollectA one, which is inaccurate in almost every part of its anatomy and ends up not looking like a Herrerasaurus.  When I was a kid I wished I could have a good Herrerasaurus toy, but no Herrerasaurus toys existed.  Now, I'd still really like one!  It would be great to have another Triassic dinosaur, in addition to the Plateosaurus.

But surely you have the Safari model? I'm not sure on the scale but I would think it's about 1:40 right?

Yeah I have the safari model, Its one of my favorite models

Gwangi

Likewise, one of their best. Would still welcome one from Battat though. Honestly I wouldn't mind an Amargasaurus from them either and yes, I'm aware they already made one. I just feel like it is one the the weaker models that could benefit from a makeover.

Ikessauro

I suggest always make new species. Retooling the old models is enough, don't waste efforts making another well represented dinosaur. Carnegie Amargasaurus for example, is very nicely sculpted. It's time to expand people's awareness of dinosaur species by making toys of new obscure dinosaurs. There's plenty newly discovered dinos or ones that have been known for a long time which have no toy representation. Herrerasaurus is a great example.


loru1588

My line up of potential dinos for the 1st two Terra Series was pretty much set in stone when I started the project. That's why I asked for input on this as well as the former MOS series. I haven't eliminated any viable critters yet so don't lose hope yet!! LOL!! I'll know come the spring if & when I am to start a 3rd series. I'll pretty much have a line up before then, again in part due to the input I receive here.
