Quote from: Halichoeres on November 21, 2023, 02:47:08 AMI can't wait for the reveal just so we can move on to a more interesting release!
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I'm hoping that the subsequent reveal will be another Cenozoic elephant.

More basal proboscideans would be swell. Literal goldmine of unique genera.

Indeed, and a nearly untapped goldmine at that. Eofauna's Cenozoic proboscideans are top notch, and they have little to no competition. Their dinosaurus have been fine (especially their excellent Atlasaurus), but they mostly fall behind PNSO and Haolonggood. I think if Eofauna sticks to Cenozoic mammals, everyone wins.

I find myself agreeing about the proboscideans being the best out there...but I do love my Sue tyrannesaur and the Altasaurus is one of my favorite figures ever...I know some people are less impressed with their dinosaurs but I'll take whatever they decide to make, I'm a huge Eofauna fan...my one and only bone to pick with the company is the low output of figures...but I understand that figures are not their primary things so it's not much of a gripe and more like wishful thinking that they might expand their output of figures at some point...

From the Ankylosaurus onwards, these are the dinosaurs (I'm omitting proboscideans) that I'm expecting Eofauna to release throughout the following years.

These predictions were made under some assumptions:

- They alternate between groups (theropods, ornithischians, sauropodomorphs).
- They're going for the most popular species, if their latest choices are anything to go by.
- They're trying to increase their lineup's phylogenetic diversity just a bit.
- I omitted small species, because, as is the case with PNSO and HLG (especially the former), they seem to be allergic to them.

T stands for Theropod, O for Ornithischian and S for sauropodomorph.

I'm totally expecting them to release an Edmontosaurus annectens, that's why I'm passing on PNSO's for the time being. I'm confident I'll be getting at the veeeeery least 1 of these right, though I wouldn't be surprised if I got several right or even all of them.  :P

Possible, but they could also try to complete Hell Creek. The we would maybe see a Denversaurus / Edmontonia as well. More sauropods would be great, but they may again be in 1:40 scale.

I hope one stegosaurus ungulatus(APEX)

An Eofauna Edmontosaurus in the same aggressive stance as their Ankylosaurus and Triceratops figures would be a real treat. I feel like there's a tendency to only depict hadrosaurs as peaceful and regal in model form.

I highly doubt they would choose either genus instead of Stegosaurus as their next thyreophoran.

And I'm happy with their sauropods being in 1:40 scale. Yes, I know that if they get made in 1:35 scale that would make them in scale with figures from other groups, but I find large sauropods in 1:35 to be too massive.

Eofauna's sauropods are my favorite sauropods, an Apatosaurus, Amargasaurus or Shunosaurus from them would be a dream come true.

The Atlasaurus and the selection of proboscideans had given me hope that they would highlight less-famous taxa, but they seem to be playing it increasingly safe, at least where dinosaurs are concerned. Stegosaurus is pretty close to the last dinosaur I'd like to see from them, but it does seem likely, as does Spinosaurus, which is the very last dinosaur I'd like to see from them now that they've already done Ty***nosaurus.

Even in their Proboscidean department, they seem to have opted for the more well known and charismatic choices this time around with their Mastodon and Columbian Mammoth. That said, even if the species selection gets a bit more "standard", Eofauna always seems to bring something unique in their executions

Not really, but I saw this elephant on Toy Animal Wiki and it's the funniest animal figure I've ever seen, I thought I'd share it here!
