Tyrannosaurid lover

First start with the, .. well the starter dinosaurs xD.You know, Tyrannosaurus, Allosaurus, any popular hadrosaurid, Stegosaurus ans maybe Kentrosaurus but this maybe came in the second wave xD but, I digress about what to do next xD, certainly at least two ceraatopsids Triceratops and Stycosaurus, the second wave would be torosaurus and pachyrhinosaurus.

Second wave should be Ceratosaurus, Gorgosaurus, Iguanodon, Pacgycephalosaurus, Tuojiangosaurus, leptoceratops, Anchisaurus, and ornitholestes.

Then I'll buy the jurassic park merchandisting away from hasbro and the horribles Re-ak-attack.
And make the oficial Jurassic park toy lin :D
When the time came out the amaizine animals that the time and extintion lef behind will be back.

3. Dimorphodon because no company has ever made one thus far (not even chinasaurs have been made of this species)

Scale would be a problem.  I think I would keep 1/40 for the Late Cretaceous Hell Creek but for anything with large sauropods maybe 1/100 for the Morrison or even the Alamo formation.  I like the idea of toobs for the small stuff. 
1/15 for small faunas.  I think what gets me going  with mixed scale  is all the animals you would display together should be of a scale or use for gaming.

Yutyrannus

#24
My company would have papo style detail, but carnegie accuracy and wacky scales,  and collecta weird choices. Here is my list of figures.

Yutyrannus (1/40 scale)
Anchiornis (1/20 scale with correct coloration and up-to-date feathering)
Argentinosaurus (1/60 scale)
Balaur (1/30 scale with up-to-date feathering)
Utharaptor (1/40 scale with up-to-date feathering)
Concavenator (1/40 scale with quils)
Microraptor (1/20 scale with correct coloration and tail streamers)
Sinosauropteryx (1/20 scale with correct coloration)
Sinotyrannus (1/40 scale with feathers)
Sinocalliopteryx with Confucisornis prey (1/30 scale)
Mapusaurus (1/40 scale)
Tyrannotitan (1/40 scale)
Rugops (1/40 scale)
Australovenator (1/40 scale)
Leaellynosaura (1/40 scale with feathers, can be put in a diorama with Australovenator)
Albertosaurus (1/40 scale with feathers)
Torvosaurus (1/40 scale)
Shuntangosaurus (1/40 scale)
Zhuchengtyrannus (1/40 scale with feathers)
Tarbosaurus (1/40 scale with feathers, can be put in a diorama with Shuntangosaurus or Zhuchengtyrannus)
Alioramus (1/40 scale with feathers)
Smok (1/30 scale, quadrapedal)
Majungasaurus (1/40 scale with correct legs)
Austroraptor (1/40 scale with up-to-date feathering)
Bistahieversor (1/40 scale with feathers)
Kosmoceratops (1/40 scale with quils, can be paired with Bistahieversor)
Pssitacosaurus sibiricus (1/20 scale with quils)

Sorry for rambling on (I will add Paleozoic and Cenozoic later), also none of my models will have bases, but some can be made for them.

Nice choices! I love the idea of Psittacosaurus sibiricus. For some reason I think of it in a documentary living in a forest swamp, and we follow it thru one day, with nothing but itself as it forages, and have no narration. ;)

That's a really good question ! I would love as a company to be able to offer products that would be produced in Europe, with high standards of quality and safety (like Bullyland does), with the accuracy of the Carnegie collection and attention to detail of Papo and the diversity of brands like Kaiyodo or starlux.

I would produce all figures in the same scale, probably 1/35 or 1/40  to ensure a global coherence of the range.

I would have a paleozoic, a mesozoic and a cenozoic range to make sure that pre- and post-dinosaur species are also represented. I would also make sure the range features both classic species and more obscure or recently discovered species. I would also incorporate plants as well as based group figures and dead animals, like collectA does. I will use bases whenever a figure doesn't have sufficient stability instead of going for oversized feet or tripod tricks.


Here's some example, not a complete list, but just some thought :)

Classic figures:
Dunkleosteus
Edaphosaurus
Dimetrodon
Mastondosaurus
Plateosaurus
Dilophosaurus
Allosaurus
Ceratosaurus
Apatosaurus
Giraffatitan
Diplodocus
Stegosaurus
Kentrosaurus
Camptosaurus
Centrosaurus
Styracosaurus
Triceratops
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Deinonychus
Velociraptor
Anatotitan
Iguanodon
Corythosaurus
ankylosaurus
struthiomimus
Oviraptor
Pteranodon
Quetzalcoatlus
Ramphorynchus
Tylosaurus
Elasmosaurus
Plesiosaurus
Liopleurodon
Ichtyosaurus
Shonisaurus
Tanystropheus
Nothosaurus
Gastornis
Phororhacos
Basilosaurus
bronthotherium
synthetoceras
Andrewsarchus
Smilodon
Indricotherium
Mammoth
wooly rhino

Group figures:
Meganeura flock around trees
stenacanthus pod
leaellynasaura family
hypsilophodon family
protoceratops nest
Coelophysis pod
Diplocaulus pond
Archaeopteryx tree (with detachable archaeopteryx figure)
Ingenia family

Dead figures
dead chasmosaurus
sauropod corpse
dead stegosaurus

less known species:

Hyneria
Yutyrannus
Eotyrannus
Majungasaurus
Argentinosaurus
Predator X
kimmerosaurus
Taniwhasaurus
Nemegtosaurus
Gigantoraptor
Torvosaurus
Tuojiangosaurus
Ambulocetus
Chalicotherium
Macrauchenia

TheAllosaur

My company is a toy company that is a branch of InGen (i know, everything with me is Jurassic Park) that looks at the Dinosaurs and other animals in the park and creates models to sell at the park. Here is the Triassic Reptile House series one:

1: Smok (anyone surrpised? No?)
2:Erythosuchus
3: Postosuchus
4: Batrachtotomus
5: Ticinosuchus
6: Poposaurus
7: Lotosaurus
8: Drepanosaurus
9: Helveticosaurus
10: Rutiodon
11: Smilosuchus
12: Nothosaurus
13: Placodus
14: Tanysropheus
15: Silesaurus
16: Eupakeria
17: Lagosuchus
18: Revueltosuchus
Part-time genius!

Jetoar

If I do a company, I think that it will be Jetoart and I will do two lines: statics and poseable figures. I think that I will divided in dinosaurs, dinosaurs neighbours (animals of Triassic, Jurassic and Cretacic) life before and after of dinosaurs. Poseable figures will be bigger than statics. I will think the scale of these figures.

Models that I have thought are these:

1:Liopleurodon.
2:Postosuchus.
3:Megalodon.
4:Tylosaurus.
5:Peloneustes.
5:Allosaurus.
6:Torvosaurus.
7:Basilosaurus.
8:Ophthalmosaurus.
9:Metriorhychus.
10:Titanis.
11:Microraptor.
12:Albertosaurus.
13.Tyrannosaurus.
14:Coelophysis.
15:Placerias.
16:Inostrancevia.

I think that it is a good group to start  ^-^. Currently I have done some articulated models and I am thinking to do the statics versions  ^-^.
[Off Nick and Eddie's reactions to the dinosaurs] Oh yeah "Ooh, aah", that's how it always starts. But then there's running and screaming.

19:Iguanodon.
20:Concavenator.
21:Pelecanimimus.
22:Triceratops.

24:Edmontosaurus.
25:Brachiosaurus.
27:Eotyrannus.
28:Aragosaurus.
29:Amargasaurus.
30:Ankilosaurus.

I think that if I do a company, I will do the serie one and if I have succesful, I will do the serie two  ^-^.
