As a general rule, private photography of upcoming toys isn't permitted at toy fairs. Those who do take photos usually have press or VIP passes. Or they just take photos illicitly.

Here s a mild glimpse of the dinos

[suspsy]

OF COURSE the one I want to see most is on the other side of the column! :p

[Takama]

I did say mild

[Meso-Cenozoic]

Yep, I see the tail of the feathery beast!   Still a nice sharp pic. Thanks for sharing, Takama! I wouldn't mind having that stand the Pliosaurus is on. And is that a new Great White? He looks pretty good. I'm still trying to choose the best one for a Megalodon. My hopes were dashed last year when the WS was revealed.

BTW, does anyone happen to know how far back in history the Baobab Tree? I had done a quick search about it and didn't come up with anything definitive. I think it is more indigenous to the continent of Africa. Maybe it would at least be all right to use for prehistoric mammal displays and dioramas? Thanks!

That Baobab tree is bigger than I thought. Must.Get.It.

Well, there's one in Australia, too. So it's possible they were around early enough to have seen the continents split. I've been going on the hopeful assumption that they'd be fine in Cretaceous dioramas. Prehistoric mammal displays should definitely be fine, heck, individual baobabs live for thousands of years.

Ahh, that's good to know. Thanks, triceratops83! I just think they're really cool looking and hoped to use one somewhere.

That is a new Great White Shark in the front of the middle shelf! I think I just may have finally found my Megalodon!!

*Sorry. I just realized I did a double post and could've combined them. Just got a bit too excited!

The Great White Shark looks good, even sizewise.

[Concavenator]

I am wondering...were the Spinosaurus models there too?

FUN FACT: Australia's baobab trees are so close genetically to their African cousins that they seem to have been very recent arrivals, perhaps with migrating humans.

I was hoping to see the photo  new t rex

[sauroid]

the babirusa got me excited the most

Dingos and Baobabs. Those guys knew how to pack.

[stargatedalek]

I have to admit I'm pleasantly surprised to see the ceratopsians weren't in fact retools, even if they are still very repetitive.

[suspsy]

Agreed. Hopefully this will spur CollectA to be more creative with their future ceratopsids.

[Concavenator]

Agreed. Hopefully this will spurn CollectA to be more creative with their future ceratopsids.

True.Would love an Agujaceratops and Ojoceratops from them,that's why I sent the, a suggestion about these two!

[suspsy]

Good stuff! Me, I'd love to see a Deluxe-sized Titanoceratops.

[Shonisaurus]

I settle for a deluxe agujareratops 1:40 scale painting inspired by Julius Csotonyi. The pose illustration is challenging and fierce. 

[suspsy]

Looking at that display photo again, the Moropus is way bigger than I imagined. Nice!
