I think it's very likely that Safari will relase a Deinocheirus and/or Qianzhousaurus next year.Of course I could be weong but I bet for it will happen

I rather see them make a more generic ornithomime first like Struthimimus or Gallamimus.  Deinochirus is great. but if it sells poorly, the chances of getting a proper ornithomime would be quashed and i really want them to make a Struthimimus or Galamimus

Wouldn't it make more sense for them to make Deinocheirus, a more... fantastical, member of the family as a way to segue into more generic members?

Thing is If it sells poorly what are the odds of the Generic ones ever getting made? I have more interest in the generic ones then the Fantastical one.   Of course would it be asking too much for them to release both of them in the same year. But then again, Safari Releases Two very different tyrannosaurus in 2011

It wouldn't sell bad at all.Indeed,I think it would be a great seller due to the fact it's been requested a lot and also because of his truly unusual look.

yup it was supposed to be a Schleich Smilodon update and completely forgot about the awkward looking CollectA Arsinoitherium.  ;)

I saw that production was on hiatus, yes? Hope that kicks back into gear at some point!

Ok, here what I would like to see, though I recognize that I'll be lucky if one of these gets made.   As to which company that makes them, I do not care as long as they don't screw it up.

1. American Mastodon.  I Really really want one.
2. Astrodon
3. Appalachiosaurus
4. Cryonectes
5. Dinogorgon
6. Eotrachodon
7. Heterodontosaurus.  Might be too small
8. Rapenomamus
9. Propanoplosaurus
10. Zephyrosaurus
11. Livyatan Melviiei
12. Shantungosaurus
13. Anurognathus
14. Ulemosaurus
15. Ceresiosaurus

Yah, I just need to find someone able to do the mold making/casting, thats all. So not much of a setback. I have the sculpts for the Sauroposeidon carcass, Ceratonykus, and Enchodus done, Gigantspinosaurus just needs scale details, and the Acro needs an armature before I can do the body sculpt. But I'm hoping to get molds made for the currently finished sculpts once I find someone to do that.

a Columbian mammoth from CollectA would be nice too.

I would prefer a Mastodon, but as long as it is not another Woolly Mammoth, its cool.
