Eofauna general discussion

[Halichoeres]

Where I live Safari giga is about 21€ and Eofauna 26€.

Yeah, the EoFauna is a lot more expensive over here. I guess after import, nobody is selling enough of them to be able to get by with a low per-unit margin. I think I actually got mine from Everything Dinosaur with a shipment of CollectA figures, which ended up being cheaper than buying it from a US retailer.

A scientifically accurate T.rex is now indispensable from Eofauna team in this year or within the next few years to accompany their incredible  Triceratops. I have still not bought PNSO "Winter Wilson" T.rex sculpt, but waiting for a more accurate version from Eofauna. Please bring this creature when the teaser will be released this year.

I'd say it not just that the Eofauna is more expensive in the US, its that Safari figures are all a lot cheaper in the US than anywhere else.

I've long since stopped purchasing JP oriented figures, certainly in the T-rex department. That's the influence, overall I'd say, of the DTB. So, I'm anticipating the arrival of an Eofauna rex, sooner or later, though I've ordered a "Winter Wilson" to tide me over in the meanwhile.

Eofauna have great figures and unlike most of the other companies ,they research there figures and dont put them in stupid poses the way papo and schleich do...
They are without doubt the most accurate figures and specialists on prehistoric reconstructions, and in my view that should be the standard .Their collection is small but im still looking towards there mammoths in particular...
Companies such as schleich,mojo and papo clearly dont put any effort to get anything realistic or even close and in papos case its been more apparent recently.
Papo have gotten lazy in the last few years and i can see this problem they have with their dinosaurs ,boring repaints,boring and unrealistic sculpts and just strange poses...papo have a problem with there dinosaur line and it needs fixed...or i can see it slipping away just like schleich and bullyland...
Their laziness and insistence to re sculpt triceratops and t rex are only 1 of many problems that other companies dont seem to have....

I find this unnecessarily aggressive. Where should this lead to?
And it doesn't have anything to do with Eofauna.

EoFauna does a fantastic job with their research but Mojö, Papo and even Schleich do some research, while not to the same degree it should not be dismissed.
I agree that this was a far too harsh statement.

Mojo definetly tries the most in research, and they even show relativley obscure features in their figures, like the 2020 giganotosaur skull based on the Hartman Reconstruction
Schleich does research, but very rarely you can actually see it. I believe that Vlad Konstaninov quit in 2020, and that shows why schliech 2018-2019 was relativley accurate.
Although papo is my favorite company out of all of these, i have to be honest, even though their figures can sometimes turn out accurate, like the new spinosaurus and crylolophosaurus and carnotaurus, its usually not the case, and im pretty sure only the 2019 spinosaurus actually had reaserch done to it

[Sim]

The Papo Carnotaurus isn't accurate, its mouth is too wide.

[SidB]

The Papo Carnotaurus isn't accurate, its mouth is too wide.

Maybe it's a political Carno - needs to talk out of both sides of its mouth

  Eofauna general discussion ..... please!

[Stegotyranno420]

  Eofauna general discussion ..... please!

Yes sir, I'm sorry we got off topic.

Anyways does anyone think we should get aquatic animals from eofauna?

[Remko]

I'd like to see them make whales.

Extinct whales would be my first preference then.

[suspsy]

I would totally shell out for an an Eofauna Livyataan, especially if it was big enough to go up against my CollectA Megalodon. 

[Stegotyranno420]

I will want a dunkleosteus or a pliosaurid.

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

Please no Dunkleosteus. A Livyatan would be lovely though. Or a nice Shonisaurus though that would be huge

[BlueKrono]

I will want a dunkleosteus or a pliosaurid.

I would buy either of these.

[paleochris]

The only problem Eofauna has is the low number of new figures! One or two per year is not enough, I hope they can accelerate and increase the number of new figures. Their figures are among the best with PNSO, for me these two brands are the best since 2019.

Exactly, and my only other issue is that the detail seems a little to subtle. Maybe they are just getting started.

Also i'd like too see
Mosasaurus
Basilocetus
Leeditchys
Titanitchys
Xipatchinus
Elasmosaurus
Rhizodus
and some semi aquatic animals
Spinosaurus
Sarchosuchus
Prionosuchus
Hynerpeton
Eryops

[Carnoking]

I don't usually collect prehistoric mammals, but I do love Livyatan so I would have to make an exception!

[Flaffy]

I'd personally still like to see a yearly proboscidean from them. Still waiting for a Gomphothere.
