I took a leap of faith with the Nanshiungosaurus because most therazinosaurid skulls are extremely similar in my eyes. Dryptosaurus may very well be a tyrannosaurid, however, with all the skull variations in some of the newly unearthed tyrannosaurus ( Qianzhousaurus, Nanuqsaurus, Lythronax, & Yutyrannus ), I would would need more skull info to take a shot at it and feel comfortable with reproducing Dryptosaurus.

Fair enough, tyrannosaur skulls can be pretty variable (especially Qianzhousaurus, never saw that one coming). Time to get out the shovel and bucket, it's fossil-hunting time!

Makes sense, thanks for the explanation.

Whatever you do dont make Drytosaurus Dan!! <just kidding Gryph, thats a fight I dont have a dog in> Actually just wanted to say glad to be see you back Dan, and excited for whatever models are still coming....its a great time to be a dinosaur collector.

Thanks for explaining this, it's always interesting to hear your thoughts and research behind the figures!

In case there's been a misunderstanding, I didn't say Dryptosaurus shouldn't be made.  I'd be happy to see a Dryp figure if the sculptor felt they'd be able to make a good, accurate figure of it.

This makes me sad.  I'm sure whatever you decide on will be awesome though.

Hate to burst your bubbles but Dan said that Dreadnaughtus is too fragmentary

Manatee

Ah, I see I haven't posted here yet.

Allosaurus fragilis- 28-32 (39?) ft
Yutyrannus huali- 30 ft
Skorpiovenator bustingorryi- Up to 19.7 ft
Diamantinasaurus matildae- 52 ft
Camptosaurus dispar- 15-26? ft
Cedarpelta bilbeyhallorum- 23-30 ft
Brachytrachelopan mesai- About 30-33 ft
Mapusaurus roseae- 33-41 ft
New look Spinosaurus aegyptiacus- 52 ft
Centrosaurus apertus- 18-20 ft
Brachylophosaurus canadensis- Up to 30 ft
New look Deinocheirus mirificus- Up to 36 ft

Brachiosaurus

Olorotatian arharensi-12 meters
Argentinosaurus huinculensis-30 - 35 m
Glacialisaurus-20-25 feet long
Alamosaurus sanjuanensis  Over 18.3 metres
Shantungosaurus giganteus 50 feet long
Here are mine, Glacialisaurus is my #1, please do this one!!! ^-^, Cryolophasaurus needs some prey. On a side note is Glacialisaurus remains fragmented?


DinoLord

Now that we have really complete remains of Deinocheirus it would be a pretty good candidate for this line.

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

It would,and a fantastic one.Although if you did one (I really hope so) please give it feathers.

Is Glacialisaurus too small, and are its remains fragmented? Because I would love one to go with the cryolophasaurus

amargasaurus cazaui

We have very little material from that dinosaur from what I have seen....a few fragments at best unless I missed something. Dan has said before his "take" is a few bones do not a dinosaur make....he the force is with !!!!(little yoda voice)

Are you talking about Glacialisaurus?

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

Yutyrannus

How about some species of hadrosaur (other than Parasaurolophus)? In general that group seems to be pretty much ignored by companies.

"The world's still the same. There's just less in it."

JakobVicent

I agree with yutyrannus. There are not a lot of hadrosaur figures out there. It would be nice to see some hadrosaurs in this line.

DinoLord

I think Shantungosaurus is one that's been mentioned a few times in this thread - now that would be a nice-sized hunk of plastic!
