Describe A Good Dead Theropod Figure

I also don't collect corpse figures, but I have and like the Quetzalcoatlus.

I'd definitely buy some assorted dino limbs. Especially now that CollectA has started adding articulated jaws to their 1:40 line.

A dead T-Rex with its skull crushed, just like Sue.

I have no doubt that tragedies involving mothers and babies occurred all too frequently in the time of the dinosaurs. Goodness knows it occurs frequently in today's animal kingdom---and even more so in human society. And so yes, while your idea is definitely creative and vivid, it just seems too dark and depressing.

Incidentally, my girlfriend hates the two CollectA dinosaur corpses. Even more so the Quetzalcoatlus with its infant prey.

I like them but I don't like them if that makes any sense. Though I did get a small shock when I noticed that CollectA does have a stegosaurus that matches the corpse.

I do think you are right though about it being too dark and depressing. Sorry 'bout that all.

let it be deynoynihus, who was killed Tenontosaurus  :)) And about the cruelty, it's just toys, just little pieces of the past

If CollectA makes another corpse,it has to be a theropod,that'd be so freaking awesome.A dead Siats,Megaraptor,or Sauroniops for example.A carcharodontosaur would be nic

sauroid

a stomping bull sauropod on a struggling/dying large theropod would also look nice.

CollectA, Safari, Papo, etc, don't just cater to adults. They also have to take children and their parents into consideration if they hope to remain afloat. I certainly wouldn't allow a four-year old to have the Dead Triceratops or the Stegosaurus Corpse.

I think that if CollectA really does make a dead theropod figure, it'd be one that's already been "alive" in their assortment, like T. rex, Spinosaurus, Mapusaurus, or Carcharodontosaurus. It would be kind of sad for Siats to make its toy shelf debut as a mutilated corpse.

why not something different? a group of emaciated/starved-to-death corpses of any animals during the extinction era?
Thats an interesting idea. It comes to my mind "dinosaur mummies" (desecated bodies) specially from the triassic extinction.

Hey,what about a Megaraptor?It's one of the dinosaurs I've always hoped to see represented...and CollectA has two Amargasaurus,so that'd make a nice diorama.

Like supsy said about Siats, Megaraptor is a dinosaur I wouldn't want to see exclusively (you don't count Geoworld) represented as a trampled corpse. Just saying.

I spent my young years watching documentaries and science fiction movies, so maybe I was just more used to gore (specifically predation) than most kids, but I don't think that sort of thing is unsuitable for children

I'd definitely prefer to have a corpse figure accompanying a live one as with the previous two
perhaps a pterosaur this time?


*edit*
another idea, how about a "nondescript" figure, it could be perceived as either sleeping or having died calmly

triceratops83

Majungasaurus would be a good choice for a cannibalised theropod. How about a moment caught in action - a Ceratosaurus impaled on a stegosaur thagomizer, or the Protoceratops/Velociraptor scene? Seems like the sort of innovative idea Collecta could pull off.
In the end it was not guns or bombs that defeated the aliens, but that humblest of all God's creatures... the Tyrannosaurus rex.

Good idea with the latter. For such an iconic scene there are surprisingly few toy (or even resin) depictions of this pairing. The only one I can think of is the extremely rare Collect Club figure.

croatasaurus

How about pierced Tyrannosaurus?
Or cuted Tarbosaurus?
