Serious lack of Edmontonia. The last decent one I know of is the Dino Riders version. Should Papo do this, it will be an instant hit.

The Collecta one is nice but just a bit small and has average paint scheme. If they made a 'delux' version it would be good.

As for my hopes,
Papo, Ceratosaurus and more ceratopsians.
Carnegie, New Rex and Jorbia and Battat inspired Diplo.
Collecta, Anything and everything.
Schleich, An original Idea.

Wild Safari

-Lexovisaurus (re-sculpt)
-Polacanthus (re-sculpt)

Schleich

I don't think Carnegie did a Mamenchisaurus.
Actually, there is the Dinosaurs of China Mamenchisaurus, but I am not sure whether that was by Carnegie or Wild Safari.
It was Wild Safari's Dinosaurs of China toy line. I really want that Mamenchisaurus though! It would be sick to have a sauropod with a neck longer than its body! ;)
I have it, it is awesome, but very space consuming XD It takes up almost as much space as the Carnegie Diplo :)
I don't have the Diplo, but I know it's huge. My biggest dino toy is the Carnegie Apatosaurus. Where can I find the Mamenchisaurus?
eBay, or you could try asking around here. That's how I got mine :)

And the DoC line was a separate run, sculpted by Eli Kish.  When the line ceased, the Mamenchi was offered as a Carnegie figure for a couple years (it was still available in 2008, but no longer).

Didn't know this, very interesting. I thought at least one DoC figure was done by Dan LoRusso, though. The Velociraptor, I believe.

You could be right, it looks very different than the others, and he did do a few Safari figures ;)

Takama



This is a empty space for what I presume is an Allosaurus from Mojo .

Hobby Lobby is getting a few of Mojos 2013 goodies  this year 8), and this could be one of them. Before you ask, Yes im sure its Mojo. Its desplayd next to there little T-Rex as you can see.

I remember, Allosaurus was voted on the Facebook Poll, as well.

anyway, yay or nays are welcome :)

Um...not wanting to sound rude, but is there supposed to be a photo in your post Takama? :S I don't see anything...

Anyway, I won't expect anything decent from Mojo, judging from this year's Rex. Although miracles can happen, just look at CollectA XD

EDIT: I see it now :P From what I can see, it looks like it has that weird almost-tripod-posture that the old Schleich Rex had :/

Blade-of-the-Moon

I'm all for more allosaurs..just hope it looks good.

Relating to my recent plight, I feel the need to add ..PLEASE we need MORE ornithomimids !

That's the Mojo rex. Which pretty much sucks. But they seem to have a few things appearing soon--I've heard rumours of a Babirusa as well (also not listed anywhere by them).

If you got that from STS. The Babirusa is not comeing to hobby lobby, I might of been that broght it up. but it turnd out to be a pirate figure instead.

Based on some comments made by Safari Ltd. on Facebook and other social networking media, I would expect a Carnegie or Safari Archaeopteryx in 2013 or 2014.

It was on LG. BUT--if that one turned out to be a non-mojo, then it is possible about the allosaur as well. Nowhere on the pictured tag does it say anything about 'mojo'.

Would be really nice if it were a 1/1 replica like some of their animals. ;D

Yeah! I wish they could repaint the Microraptor too, to the colour it really was, since we know it know now! But an Archaeopteryx would be freakin' amazing! A Yutyrannus and Sciurumimus are still on the list for me to be made by CollectA.

I'm sure several of our artists here on the forums could assist you with a simple repaint like that. :)

Balaur

What about a Prehistoric Mammals toob that contained:
Propalaeotherium
Leptictidium
Europolemur
Entelodon
Hyracodon
Hyaenodon
Ramoceras
Thylacosmilus
Thalassocnus
Toxodon

That would be quite unique. Also, Carnegie should make some mores creatures from before or after the dinosaurs. They are becoming way to Mesozoic centric. I understand dinosaurs are awesome! But aren't there any fossils in the museum not from the Mesozoic with enough material to make Cenozoic or Palaeozoic fauna?

I predict that in 2013 there will be something plastic. :)

I'm going to guess there will be non-phthalate PVC figures.

Some will likely have the name of the animal stamped somewhere,and the words "Made in China" :)
