Is that a new ceratopsian species?


Pachyrhinosaurus

It would be really nice for Safari to stay on the ball and keep making newly-named ceratopsids, however a Ceratops would be nice as well, since there aren't any in any form that I know of. (Though I will probably make one myself sooner or later).

There's a new one from Canada in the news right now.
is this the one?

That's the one. A really nice looking dinosaur. I can see us getting at least one next year.
In the end it was not guns or bombs that defeated the aliens, but that humblest of all God's creatures... the Tyrannosaurus rex.

I'd prefer is someone made a good Agujaceratops or Ojoceratops...people don't talk about these two and they're awesome.

Agree, although it's likely Ojoceratops is just a Triceratops (Not that I'm complaining :)) Chasmosaurines don't get as much attention as Centrosaurines, I guess because to most people they are not as individually distinctive. I still say some of the older ones need more attention first, though. And I hope we don't get another Styracosaurus soon, all the ones from recent years are great, AND we're getting the best one when Battat BMOS gets reissued. Same deal with Parasaurolophus.

If Doug did a Styracosaurus I'd get it just have one in style..I really hope the trend of him making ceratopsians each year continues for awhile. :)

Sure, I'd buy any Ceratopsian Mr Watson sculpts. It's just Styracosaurus has no shortage of good figures while others have none. And the year Safari doesn't release a Ceratopsian, I think I might cry.

It is, but a new skull was found recently and assigned to that species- "Judith". It may or may not actually be Ceratops however, that's what it is being called right now. A very unique animal, it looks different from the existing Wild Safari Ceratopsids.

" Judith" ? Well that will be bugging me..I hear that name and I think of Gorgosaurus..thanks to a certain Mr. Krentz... lol

I did drop the hint about retro dinos to Safari on facebook here :

Feel free to comment if you might like to see a set of them as well.

CityRaptor

Good idea. I would support you, but I don't have a facebook account.
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

Blade-of-the-Moon

No problem. It took me forever to get one, if I wasn't running a business from it I wouldn't have one I guess..though it does help with info and keeping contacts. Just gotta not play games and accepting every friend request..lol

amargasaurus cazaui

I still feel that aquilops, being North America's oldest known ceratopsian should be made into a replica for sure....the little guy would be quite unique as well and does not exist so far in the market.

Chris, I just sent you a FB "Friend" request. I'd be very interested in following your progress there. Oh, btw, my full name you'll see there is Chuck Macklin. :)

I dropped a like on your suggestion, I would have followed you but I only use my facebook on rare occasions. I really only have it so I can drop likes or comments on things people send me links to.


sauroid

that's a very good looking Archaeopteryx
