CollectA 2020 Hopes and Dreams

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

If they give them primaries and they're up to the current standard then I would certainly be up for it.

[Killekor]

A tanystropheus Deluxe scale 1:25 on the part of Collecta would be great.

I completely agree with you. I'll really like to see a new tanystropheus figure!

I really would like to see a new dromeosaur. With Velociraptor and Mcroraptor we already saw what Safari can do with them both from Doug Watson (my preferred one) and the other sculptor, but CollectA hasn't released one in years, the last one was the Utahraptor I think and it wasn't up very accurate. I think it's about time they give us one, we have seen other feathered dinosaurs from them and I think they can do an excellent job.

[Bokisaurus]

A large sauropod is waayyyy overdue!
A brand new paraceratherium, a new species of terror bird would be cool, a deluxe lambeosaurus or olorotitan.

I almost get the impression that their sculptor is a little bit spooked by maniraptorans. I'm not at all sure the feathers would be done right. But if they were, it would be nice to have an additional company producing good dromaeosaurs, troodontids, oviraptorosaurs, etc.

for 2020 any of the following would be amazing.
. Supreme scale Hatzegopterus
. Collecta procon Fukuisaurus
. CollectA Deluxe Lambiosaurus
. Collecta procon Europosaurus
. Collecta procon Nodosaurus
. Collecta procon Protoceratops 
. Collecta deluxe Edmontosaurus
. Collecta procon Gallimimus
. CollectA Deluxe Yangchuanosaurus
. Collecta procon Troodon
. CollectA Deluxe patagotitan

[suspsy]

Couple of small nitpicks: Troodon is now a nomen dubium (Stenonychosaurus is the proper name now) and it's just CollectA, not Procon. Otherwise, that's a pretty good list you've got there!

I've seen Lambeosaurus mentioned a few times and I assume people are thinking L. lambei but I'd love to see a deluxe L. magnicristatus. Either way, after the PERFECT Iguanodon they released last year any deluxe Ornithopod would be appreciated.

[triceratops83]

Seems like I've killed a couple threads with my presence - I must smell bad. But anyhoo, would anyone else be excited for another of their 1:15 giant scale dinosaurs? The Tyrannosaurus was novel at the time for its' size, and the Triceratops was great aside from iffy proportions, feathery crest and cracked skin, but with their improved sculpts a new one could be spectacular. They could stick with Hell Creek denizens and do an Edmontosaurus or Ankylosaurus, or go with another "classic" like Stegosaurus. Anyone keen on this idea?

Also, Collecta is known for doing things differently, so are we due for things like - hatchlings and immature dinosaurs
                                                                                                                    - different sculpts for paired males and females
                                                                                                                    - mating dinosaurs (this has been discussed on here before)
                                                                                                                    - fighting dinosaurs (would fit in with their corpses) or for that matter, playing animals
                                                                                                                    - old, sick or injured animals
                                                                                                                    - camouflaged dinosaurs with bases/backgrounds?
Who knows what else?

[Shonisaurus]

Sincerely being realistic and this is not going to be very popular for those of us who are collectors, I would like Collecta to reissue and update the following dinosaur figures in an improved way,

Triceratops, ankylosaurus, brachiosaurus, pteranodon (although the current one I like), hylaeosaurus and stegosaurus in Deluxe figure. They are dinosaurs known in the collecting and toy market and are very poorly represented in this brand since the old era of the Collecta company belongs.

On the other hand, an update of the paraceratherium in Deluxe size 1:20 scale would be a blessing for me, it is one of my most desired prehistoric mammals.

On the other hand a glytodon or doedicurus Deluxe size or standard size like borealopelta would be great. A megatherium, glossotherium or mylodon would be a good addition by Collecta in Deluxe or Standard format.

An allosaurus, pentaceratops, chasmosaurus, tsintosaosaurus and muttaburrasaurus (very little represented in the toy market) would be interesting in Deluxe or standard format. The Deluxe or Standard size of prehistoric animals need not be to scale. In my case I prefer them without scale.

A diplocaulus, moschops, cacops or mastodonsaurus would be good additions of amphibians and reptile mamiferoide (moschops) of the Palezoic.

A corpse of diplodocus would complete my expectations. For asking that it not be in my case.

From a practical perspective, I'm not sure CollectA is willing to take the financial risk. Those 1:15 scale toys are impressive, but they're also costly to manufacture.

I like all these ideas. I'd buy them in an instant. But as with the 1:15 toys, I suspect that CollectA isn't keen on taking too many great risks with their assortments. What definitely sells to adult collectors may not necessarily be as attractive to children. Mating dinosaurs in particular could generate negative publicity for CollectA. Sex is as natural and normal and wonderful as you can get, but we all know how some people become triggered by any mention or sign of it. Especially in the US.

I do think more young dinosaurs would be welcome. The 2014 Juvenile T. rex was a wonderful piece and still probably the best representation of a baby tyrant lizard to this day. A baby Iguanodon to accompany the 2018 Deluxe would rock.

Yeah, I understand, but they could still issue them as a limited edition run. The two previous ones seem to have sold out in most places. I think everythingdinosaur is about the only place you can still get the Triceratops.

What always brings the mating dinosaurs thing to my mind is that there's a museum somewhere, in Spain I think, with a couple of copulating Tyrannosaurus. Of course, I know that a toy depicting this is problematic, but hey, a museum got away with it. And if it ever was going to be done, I reckon Collecta would be the company to do it. Not holding my breath, though.

As for playing juvenile dinosaurs, who wouldn't want a figure of a couple of baby Deinonychus roughhousing it, or one on its back kicking and clawing at a piece of moss or something, or chasing a fluffy little mamal.

How about some tiny baby pterosaurs to accompany Supreme adults?

[Shonisaurus]

What would be interesting is that they made families of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals examples of dinosaur families are the koreaceratops and hysilophodon of Collecta and is extensible to the rest of prehistoric animal species. He would support a male, a female and a male cub and a female puppy, if done with lions or tigers to give two examples. Couldn't it be extensible to the rest of prehistoric and current animals?

Regarding the pterosaurs I would like a female guidraco and two male / female offspring and the same can be said of dimorphodon and caiuajara.

[Kileskus]

1. New upscaled prehistoric fish from the toob would be great. I personally want leedsichtys and xiphactinus.
2. Small figure of ankylosaur of some sort. There are lot of new interesting taxa like platypelta and zuul to make. Classic species like edmontonia and euoplocephalus are needed too.
3. Allosaurus. Good, if figure wouldn't be oversized and out of scale, like cerato.
4. Some hadrosaurid, not obscure, but classic underapperciated species. Edmontosaurus, corythosaurus, maiasaura, etc...

[Shonisaurus]

A palorchestes by Collecta would be nice is a prehistoric mammal that is only represented (by the way masterfully) by Play Visions. A Deluxe-scale palorchestes would be fabulous. And even a diprotodon, procoptodon or toxodon.
