If we can dream I'd love to get a properly birdlike Deinonychus or Velociraptor. But I think a big theropod is more likely, Tyrannosaurus or Giganotosaurus. Or some less known relative of either of the two.

I prefer a lesser-known species such as tyrannotitan, gigantoraptor or carcharodontosaurus for putting three examples of theropods.  :)

@Eofauna: One thing I would really like to see from you is to make multiple species from the same fossil formation; for example, a Hell Creek set, Morrison formation set, etc. It would be awesome to build dioramas with your models!

I say Tyrannotitan or Carcharodontosaurus or Giganotosaurus should be the first. preferably Carcharodontosaurus or Tyrannotitan because Giganotosaurus is starting to be popular and everyone is just finally starting to make it so its a matter of time, but for the other two its questionable for tyrannotitan mostly, and Carcharodontosaurus will always walk in the shadow of Giganotosaurus as well as Mapusaurus because they're similar to Giganotosaurus

I would like them to make a Concavenator. The only really good mass made plastic Concavenator that I can think of is the favorite one and that's elusive and expensive. I'm not a fan of the Carnegie and CollectA ones so I would love one from Eofauna or Safari.

Indeed. If they do Hell Creek, maybe we can finally get a Thescelosaurus toy.

That's another really nice thing about doing "formation themed" waves; they can produce popular species (ie for Hell Creek, T-rex, Triceratops, Ankylosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus) and less common species (Edmontosaurus, Edmontonia, Anzu, ornithomimus/struthiomimus, Leptoceratops, and Thescelosaurus). That way they satisfy both groups; the general population that like the favorites, and the collectors that enjoy some obscure species that other companies don't produce. And the dioramas would just be a bonus ;)

Seconded. This would certainly provide us with a lot of diorama and species opportunities.

I would not mind if Eofauna made the complete faunal complex of the Morrison formation or the Hell Creek formation as prehistoric animal figures. It would satisfy both collectors who prefer popular figures and collectors like me who like more avant-garde figures with new or unpublished animals.

The wildlife complex of the Gobi Desert of Mongolia also had to be done. Asian dinosaurs give a lot to talk about.  :)

I am in full agreement with these ideas.  Recreating a fauna (any formation!) is a splendid idea - and so is adding Mongolia to the US formations.

i could get with that, maybe one for south america as well

would love to see an amargasaurus or argentinosaurus from them  :)

I want a Floridian Pleistocene megafauna set.  O:-)

You make a good point. The other ones were near misses.

what about the concavenator resin kit?
Neovenator would be nice too

I was talking about plastic figures. And I agree about Neovenator, CollectA has a deluxe one that's not bad, but a nicer one would be happily received.

A Morrison formation set would be fantastic. Allosaurus, Torvosaurus and Ceratosaurus are on my top ten list of theropods.

oh that reminds me was that Torvosaurus who stole the kill from the allo in a dinosaur show thats fairly new? ig anyone knows what i mean

If I were choosing a formation, I might suggest the Gogo formation, the Zhongning formation, the Yixian formation, or the Cleveland Shale over Hell Creek, but I'd be happy with any set of highly accurate figures to scale with one another!

Nor should we forget that Eofauna has the potential to make other Mesozoic creatures such as pterosaurs, crocodiles, marine reptiles (among them mosasaurus, albertonectes) and also Paleozoic figures, most of the main figures of that primitive era are unpublished in the market of the toy a scale 1:20 Moschops, edaphosaurus (independently that there are some in the toy market like Bullyland) or lystrosaurus are good examples of what Eofauna could do.

Eofauna has the potential to make figures of any prehistoric and extinct animal of any epoch in the history of the Earth.  ;)

Seconded. Of your choices, I would be especially excited for a Yixian set.
