Figure in Absentia

[sauroid]

oh thanks for that link

[CityRaptor]

Saurophaganax would be nice, if you'd consider that as a valid species and not just an oversized Allosaurus.

CollectA made one.

oh cool thanks for reminding me.

[CityRaptor]

You are welcome.

Stegoceras has also been made for Transmutazors, and there's a Shapeways figure of it.

You guys have put up some excellent suggestions though! I'd say Massospondylus, Probactrosaurus, Prosaurolophus, Bagaceratops, Austroraptor and Epidexipteryx would make a good short list. Personally I'd say it's a toss-up between Bagaceratops and Massaspondyus.

It seems Massospondylus might have been made, if the figure shown here is one?: http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=2513.0  If that figure doesn't represent Massospondylus, I'd say Massospondylus would belong on the short list.  I think Anchisaurus should be on the list too.  Others that could possibly also go on the list are Dakotaraptor and Shuvuuia.  Probactrosaurus, Prosaurolophus and Bagaceratops seem very obscure to me though...

I for one heard about Probactrosaurus, Prosaurolophus, and Bagaceratops before I heard of Dakotaraptor or Shuvuuia. But that might reflect my age, since the latter two were of course described during my lifetime.

[BlueKrono]

Yeah, looks like Masso's out. See? This was a good question. If Dakotaraptor doesn't have a figure yet I think that would take the cake, even beating out Austroraptor and Bagaceratops.

 'Timurlengia euotica' it seems to me that it has never been done at least it does not sound to me.

[Sim]

I don't think Timurlengia is as well-known/popular as other genera mentioned in this thread.

This skeletal reconstruction is from the paper that names it: http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2016/03/08/1600140113/F1.expansion.html

As the paper acknowledges:

Skeletal reconstruction of T. euotica, with known bones colored in red. Individual bones come from different individuals, as they were surface-collected as isolated specimens in the Bissekty Formation of Uzbekistan. The proportions of the skeleton are based on an intermediate body type between Xiongguanlong and Tyrannosaurus but should be considered provisional until associated material is found.

Not only is most of Timurlengia's skeleton not known, but the parts that are known come from different individuals, so they might actually be from more than one species.  I would like to see less figures of animals like Timurlengia where the appearance has to be invented, and more figures of neglected prehistoric animals which are known from remains that are good enough for reconstructions of them to be recognisable as that animal.

Apparently MacMillan's misspelled Parksosaurus as 'Parkosaurus'. I already thought so.

As for Chasmosaurus, there's two versions of the JP toy, the one from Lost World Series 1 and the one from JP Dinosaurs 1. There's also a Yowies figure not yet mentioned.

Saurophaganax has also been done a few times by Sega for their various Dinosaur King lines.

Yes, there are hundreds of obscure dinosaurs out there that no figure exists of. This one in particular is especially unlikely, seeing how it was named only last year. I'd never heard of it.

thanks for additional Saurophaganax info. (and to think i have the SEGA dino king Saurophaganax figure/s )

I know that unfortunately very little is known of that species but I assumed that it is not yet in the toy market.

I understand that the garudimimus has never been made into toy figures and it is a well-known animal that preserves its skull.

Wow, I think you're right about that. That would definitely be a strong contender! Garudimimus is definitely one of the best known ornithomimids.

[Sim]

Garudimimus has been made by Castings: http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=1369.0

Indeed. It's also in the USL.

[BlueKrono]

Ah, okay. If they're sure about the ID. Personally I've never heard of Castings before.

[Sim]

Garudimimus is what they're calling that figure on their website: http://www.miniaturemolds.com/Dinosaur-Molds_c61.htm

While there's been a lot of hype around Epidexipteryx and its relatives, they're so new I think it's only a matter of time before they get their own figure. Yi Qi got one in 2016. I think at this point Dakotaraptor is the most well known, but it's also a fairly recent discovery. Of the ones that have been around for a while, no one seems interested in making a Bagaceratops, but they go nuts on just about every other ceratopsian.
