For pure wishful thinking on my part,I would love it if the mammal turned out to be Eohippus angustidens and the theropod turned out to be Ceratosaurus nasicornis (and I don't care that Safari Ltd. and Rebor have done them already!) :)
Rebor did C. dentisulcatus  :)a better choice could be the battat one
Well,C. dentisulcatus is questionable as a valid species,as is C. magnicornis.But still,you get what I mean. :)
But in all honesty,I would be willing to bet that the remaining theropod to be revealed will be something small in a larger scale for the "supreme" line. :)
Don't you hate it when you legitimately compliment someone's mustache and she gets angry with you?


Halichoeres

Out of curiosity, have we had any confirmation that there will be a Supreme this year? The Guidraco was probably a bit of a gamble, so maybe they didn't want to follow it up with a similar gamble quite so soon. Either way, I guess we'll know in a few hours...

My attempt to find the best toy of every species

Sometimes I draw pictures

It's purely an assumption at the moment. Perhaps the Supreme class will be an annual thing, or perhaps it will only be occasional. As you said, we'll find out in a mere matter of hours.

It is less for us already know what news will come.

Perhaps another pterodactyleo, for example, and Dsungaripterus? Of illusion also lives

amargasaurus cazaui

The large Guidraco figure to my eyes is the best single idea Collecta has come up with yet....I know some of the efforts they go with are popular to different sub-sets of the hobby...i.e. corpses, (can a zombie dinosaur be far behind?) but I am truly fond of the Guidraco and hope this is the start of an annual thing. I really hope they choose to follow this particular idea...to me it is unique and quite a nice thing to offer.

I hope so as well. It's the best CollectA figure I own. Heck I was so impressed I bought 5 of em'. lol

Since then guidraco is one of my favorites of Collecta, but we must not forget the feathered tyrannosaurus rex 2015, the three Spinosaurus (new version), the megacerops, Pliosaurus ..... Collecta is one of my favorite companies with Safari and Papo (although these are very well-crafted and finished films but own figures).


Mr. Challenger

Well, I need to say that Collecta really blow me away this time  :o
2016 it's going to be the Collecta's year!! My poor wallet cries!!

stargatedalek

Disappointing about lack of a new supreme, tbut he Deinocheirus is lovely.


Blade-of-the-Moon

Well i'm a bit underwhelmed. The Deino is nice but smaller than Deluxe. No Supreme either :/

Overall it looks like an ornithomimid year..that's pretty cool.

That sound you just heard was my jaw hitting the floor. :)

I too am mildly disappointed by the lack of a Supreme, but as I speculated earlier today, perhaps it'll be an off-and-on thing. I sincerely hope the Guidraco isn't the first and the last.

That Deinocheirus looks fantastic! A Deluxe size would have been nice, but this makes it less expensive and easier to store/display. Love the colour scheme. That makes three new ornithomimosaur toys! I repeat, three new ornithomimosaur toys!

Andrewsarchus is also an excellent choice! The body looks to be in keeping with pretty much all other depictions. I can't wait to add it to my menagerie! In the absence of Embolotherium, I shall pit it against the Megacerops.

Overall, I think the 2016 assortment is superb. Granted, it's not as big or as diverse as last year's, but the ornithomimosaurs alone put CollectA at the front. Gonna have to start saving those dollars! :D

Oh, and I shall also be getting the new thylacine figure. Thanks to human stupidity and callousness, it's in the same category as the rest of these magnificent animals, sadly. Or I can pretend it's Thylacinus potens.

I just hope that CollectA can get to remakeing some of there old models for the Standard Sized line next year(2017).

What i seen for 2016 has got me tempted to collect these models again.

Shonisaurus

The Deinocheirus looks magnificent. Indeed there had been talk in the forum of the need for a new Deinocheirus updated and eventually you made. Moreover the andrewsarchus will be perhaps going to be the iconic figure of Mesonychidae or rather according to the latest related to the artidodactilos more and more related to the entelodontidos according to the latest paleontological studies statement.

But this year will be the year of the ornithomimosaurus.

SBell

I'll say more when I get my high-res pics from Anthony. But I like those models! I am impressed that they re-sculpted the Deinocheirus! Of course, they also re-sculpted the Spinosaurus this year when evidence suggested it.

And the Andrewsarchus...that may be the most imposing one ever.

Blade-of-the-Moon

first post updated with pics

tyrantqueen

Don't care about the mammal, but the Deinocheirus looks excellent :)

This ugly duckling company has grown into a beautiful swan >:D

SpartanSquat

Andrewsarchus simply magnific! The best mammal! I have to say the updated deinocheirus looks great specially with the new update of the new evidence of ratite feathers found in ornithomimosaurs.

amargasaurus cazaui

The updated deinocheirus looks like a decent sculpt, but the paint is almost like Disney gone wild or something..night grab one for a repaint however. Other than that for me it will be a great year to work on older models I have missed....

I love that andrewsarchus :D it reminds me with Warg from the lord of the ring. Well, feathered trex set is still the best i think
