[stargatedalek]

I just want a bird, any bird. This year we got no bird.

Kelenken mini doesn't count, it's a reused sculpt.

Not even a modern bird this year.

[Shonisaurus]

Among the dinosaurs that Collecta could do.

It would be a triceratops (although I would prefer a chasmosaurus, ahrrinoceratops, pentaceratops, anchiceratops or torosaurus) Deluxe.

A reediction of ankylosaurus I think is necessary and if not, a Euoplocephalus Deluxe of Collecta.

A megaraptor, dakotaraptor, tarbosaurus, albertosaurus, allosaurus (reedited), gorgosaurus, alioramus, majungasaurus, rajasaurus (deluxe or standard sizes) but well made.

Obviously when I discontinued the paraceratherium I see it very difficult for Collecta to make another figure of that majestic prehistoric mammal in years, perhaps never more unfortunately. But they could make a toxodon, glyptodon, doedicurus, diprotodon, meganthereum, eusmilus, thylacosmilus, borhyaena, thylacoleo, procoptodon, megalania, purussaurus, barburofelis, emeus craus, raphus cucullatus, pelagornis, dinornis maximus, haspagornis morei (eagle of Hast), quagga , coryphodon, teleoceras, embolotherium, brontops. To give examples of the Cenozoic.

From Palaeozoic, Triassic and marine animals Atopodentatus (deluxe size), Archelon, Mixosaurus, Shonisaurus (my namesake), Nothosaurus, Moschops, Cacops, Casea, Diadectes, a Gorgonopsido (Gorgonops, Rubidgea), Diplocaulus or Shringasaurus in Deluxe size. It would be interesting a shringasaurus in Deluxe size.

Pterosaurus and flying animals except Xi qi I doubt they do any considering that they have already released the caiuajara this year. For me it would be a surprise and joy to make a pterosaur in Deluxe or standard size and not Deluxe Supreme as we are accustomed, I say so that there is a variety of sizes of pterosaurs. But what has been said I do not think they make any prehistoric pterosaur or animal of the flying Cenozoic.

If one of my dreams were fulfilled at least one ceraptoside without the tuft of feathers I would be more than satisfied (in fact I am content with nothing sincerely), but from Collecta you can expect very obscure prehistoric animals. What they can manufacture is unpredictable.

You're right! I've added some birds to my list!

[ITdactyl]

while I'd normally wish for an azhdarchid, I'm still hoping they'd produce a Pterodactylus - y'know, so there'd be a proper "pterodactyl" toy.

[Halichoeres]

while I'd normally wish for an azhdarchid, I'm still hoping they'd produce a Pterodactylus - y'know, so there'd be a proper "pterodactyl" toy.

A Pterodactylus would be welcome. As far as I'm concerned this genus has never been made well, despite giving its name as a shorthand for the whole clade.

Conchoraptor
Sinocalliopterx

Barosaurus
Giraffatitan
Turiasaurus

Aquilops
Prenocephale

Dryosaurus
Edmontosaurus
Hypacrosaurus

Pinacosaurus
Scolosaurus
Tarchia
Zuul

Caviramus
Hatzegopteryx (new version)
Pterodaustro
Rhamphorhynchus

Jaekelopterus
Dakosaurus
Machimosaurus
Prognathodon

I'd buy these.

I'm sure CollectA will make some new Cretaceous dinosaurs, so I'm not going to request any specific ones, but they really need to look at other periods more. I'd like to see:

Ordovician-Devonian
literally almost anything would make me happy, vertebrate or invertebrate or even early plants/fungi (Prototaxites? Cooksonia?)

Carboniferous
Pulmonoscorpius
Rhizodus

Permian
Cotylorhynchus
Elginia
Keratocephalus
Prionosuchus

Triassic
Erythrosuchus
A new Herrerasaurus. All current versions are ugly.
Shringasaurus

Jurassic
Anchisaurus
Heterodontosaurus

I don't think any of these will be made, but I'll keep wishing.

[Bokisaurus]

For now, all I want is a large deluxe sauropod! It's long overdue from CollectA, perhaps a Patagotitan or a Mamenchi

[Ravonium]

Next year, my main hope is that there is at least one marine reptile in their lineup. There's not been one since 2017. As for specific taxa, Shonisaurus, some sort of small mosasaur (Phosphorosaurus and Platecarpus are the two that come to mind the most quickly), and an updated Rhomaleosaurus are my top picks, but I wouldn't mind anything.

Apart from that and a maniraptoran with good arm feathers, I think I'll just wait and see what they put out 

[suspsy]

I've also added some Permian and Triassic species to my list!

[Shonisaurus]

An updated brachiosaurus on the part of Collecta a giraffatitan Deluxe would be interesting. Although I believe that sales would not be as we would expect for a simple reason the bigger a solid PVC figure is more expensive in the toy market. Only collectors would buy it.

[Halichoeres]

Wouldn't mind a new tube with new species, either, although it seems like they tend to prefer miniature versions of existing models, which interest me a lot less. The 2017 marine tube was so great, but maybe it's too much to hope that they'll do something like that again.

I want a Pterosaur Tube!!

I would love to have tiny versions of large models, like Hatzegopteryx or Dimorphodon. I Wouldn't mind if it included a rerealese of already existing tiny Pteranodon and Quetzalcoatlus. It would be Just PERFECT!

[Shonisaurus]

A gigantoraptor from Collecta that accompanied his counterparts therizinosaurus and deinocheirus would be great.

The gigantoraptor is one of my favorite dinosaurs and sincerely is still very underrepresented or perhaps somewhat underrepresented, for example the therizinosaurus has better paleoartistic representation in the toy market compared to the gigantoraptor that fortunately is known more of its remains from the point of view paleontological if we except the remains of the other members of the therizinosaurus family

A pterosaur tube would be amaaaaazing. I wouldn't mind if some of them were small versions of their large ones, like Dimorphodon, but I would hope also for some new species. Caulkicephalus, Cearadactylus, Pterodactylus, Dorygnathus, Harpactognathus, Scaphognathus, Peteinosaurus, Caelestiventus...

[suspsy]

Yeah, I'd snap up a pterosaur tube in an instant. A second marine tube would be great too.

[ITdactyl]

Yes to a pterosaur tube...

still wishing for a nice sized pterodactylus

...and if CollectA wants to go full meta.. they could add a Ludodactylus

[AcroSauroTaurus]

So soon...

Any of these species would be nice.

Spinophorosaurus
Omeisaurus
I'll stop the list here...

[Shonisaurus]

@Halichoeres The cotylorhynchus is a pretty cool Paleozoic (Permian) animal. It would be interesting for Safari to do one.

On the other hand I would like Collecta to make more figures of the fauna of Burgess Shale at a reasonable size, I would prefer them to be a medium size instead of the miniatures to which we have accustomed the various toy animal companies.

[Renecito]

Gigantoraptor
Falcarius

Jeholopterus
Tanystropheus

Xiphactinus
Leedsichthys

A Cotylorhynchus would be great!!!

[Zhuchengotyrant]

I only want two things:

A new Olorotitan
A new Tsintaosaurus


Both of which hopefully near 1:40
