Safari 2021 Hopes and Dreams!

[Shonisaurus]

I would like a moa, a haspagornis morei or a dinornis maximus.
I would also like an anchiceratops, arrhinoceratops, torosaurus, chasmosaurus or pentaceratops.
Finally a paraceratherium, embolotherium and eusmilus
A majungasaurus, albertosaurus, daspletosaurus, gorgosaurus, alioramus or an alectrosaurus.
A shonisaurus of course I would like to.
An alamosaurus, barapasaurus or barosaurus would be figures quite awaited by me.

My god people, it's still 2019 and there are already two pages of 2021 wants/wishes?!?!

Yep.

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

I'm not going to go into my full wished yet, but I sincerely hope that when Cryolophosaurus is revisited, it has feathers this time, in the same style as the Coelophysis.

[Syndicate Bias]

Mapusaurus 2021 please

[Shonisaurus]

A skorpiovenator, rajasaurus or a majungasaurus as exotic theropods would be great.

[Halichoeres]

I just want some phylogenetic diversity!

I really hope Safari will make a Rhamphorhynchus or Dorygnathus for 2021.  Rhamphorhynchids are so iconic but they don't have even one accurate figure.  I think toy companies tend to underestimate how popular rhamphorhynchids are.  Even though it's very outdated, the Safari Rhamphorhynchus came in second place in the Top 10 pterosaur toys poll, beating the Safari Dimorphodon which came in fourth place.  When ordering Safari's figures by most popular/best selling on Everything Dinosaur and on Safari's website, the Safari Rhamphorhynchus is much higher than the Safari Dimorphodon.

I think it's cool that CollectA is releasing a non-Dimorphodon long-tailed pterosaur (Caviramus) and I'd like to see Safari do the same with Rhamphorhycnhus or Dorygnathus.  Safari's new Pteranodon is a big improvement over their previous version.  Imagine what a new Rhamphorhynchus or Dorygnathus from Safari would look like!  Of course, there are also other pterosaur groups that need representation, perhaps for 2021 Safari could release more than one new pterosaur.  I'd just like to have a good Rhamphorhynchus or Dorygnathus in my life.

Ever since I went to the Antarctic Dinosaurs exhibit (like a few days ago), I have wanted a figure like the exhibit's model of Cryolophosaurus. I think the only company that could make a figure like that would be Safari.


Other than that, here's what I'd like to see:

Protoceratops: Other than the upcoming, and too large, BOTM and CollectA figures, this genus lacks any decent figure representation. Given my love for this animal and Safari's Ceratopsians as a whole, I feel they could knock a Protoceratops out of the park. 2 things: Make it in scale with the Velociraptor, and maybe give a a red and yellow coloration...I don't know...

Plesiosaurus: Since it seems like Safari's redoing all of the most popular species from their past Wild Safari and Carnegie lines, I figure it's about time this genus got it's update. Also, in 2021, we would not have had a marine reptile for 4 years.

Tarbosaurus: Given it's close resemblance to Tyrannosaurus, I can see why many companies do not make Tarbosaurus figures very often. However, in this case, I feel it could be advantageous. To stay up to date with current research, instead of updating the Tyrannosaurus to "scaley", they can use the Tarbosaurus as a model for what a large, predominantly scaled Tyrannosaur would look like. Also, it'd go well with their Deinocheirus from 2017.

[Sim]

As far as I'm aware, Safari hasn't made a Plesiosaurus before, and they have made a marine reptile in that time: Ichthyosaurus.  I'd still be happy to see a Plesiosaurus from Safari though.  Long-necked plesiosauroids are one of my favourite types of prehistoric animal but I don't have any figures of them due to companies exaggerating their skin texture.  I'd like to have a long-necked plesiosauroid with smoother skin.

If Safari makes a new Cryolophosaurus, I too would like to see it have feathers similar to the Safari Coelophysis.

You're right about that, I was thinking about that Elasmosaurus. I also, completely forgot about the icthyosaurus.

[Sim]

Another thing is that long-necked plesiosauroids are so iconic but they've been ignored while all the other main marine reptile groups have gotten good new figures.  Pliosaurs got Kronosaurus, ichthyosaurs got Excalibosaurus, Eurhinosaurus and Ichthyosaurus, mosasaurs got Tylosaurus, and metryorhinchids got Plesiosuchus and Dakosaurus.  Long-necked plesiosauroids got nothing.   So the only option for them is those older figures with exaggerated skin texture, CollectA's Thalassomedon is from 2016 while the Wild Safari Elasmosaurus is from 2013.  In 2021 it will have been eight years since Safari last did a plesiosauroid.

Siats Meekerorum
Yi Qi
Siamraptor suwati
Torvosaurus tanneri
Beelzebufo ampinga
Denversaurus schlessmani
Lambeosaurus lambei
Tanystropheus conspicuus
Apatosaurus ajax
Australopithecus africanus
Maiasaura peeblesorum
Euoplocephalus tutus
Protoceratops andrewsi

[Shonisaurus]

A tanystropheus but without the articulated head would be great.
A corythosaurus, hypacrosaurus or lambeosaurus.
A protoceratops to compete with its collecta counterpart.
A cryolophosaurus as well has been targeted.
A shastasaurus
An elasmotherium that competes with its Collecta counterpart.
A dilong, guanlong would be necessary figures in the new Collecta collection.
A gorgosaurus and an albertosaurus that will depend on the sales of the qianzhousaurus of Safari or a tarbosaurus (tyrannosaurus bataar.

I know I don't talk on this forum too often but here's what I'd like to see for next year from Safari Ltd:
Torvosaurus - 1:35 scale
Chasmosaurus, Centrosaurus or Utahceratops - 1:40-1:35
Any other Sauropod from the Morrison e.g: Supersaurus, Brontosaurus, or Barosaurus - 1:50-1:40
More Ornithopods, Shantungasaurus and Ouranosaurus come to mind - 1:45 - 1:40
Siats, although a bit controversial but I think that Safari could nail it - 1:40
Some more pterosaurs, like Hatzegopteryx or a Tapejara - 1:40
Finally, one of my biggest wants for next year: Any Basal Sauropodomorph like Plateosaurus or Melanorosaurus - 1:30 -1:40
Honorable mentions:
New Acrocanthosaurus
Hesperosaurus or Miragaia
Camptosaurus
Cryolophosaurus
Ceratosaurus Dentisulcatus
And that's my list, I know it's early but I'd probably be too lazy to come up with a list later on in the year lol

[Takama]

On the Poll survey that they released for there fans, the only dinosaur I Listed was Heterodontosaurus

However, there are others that i would like to see.

A Larger Scale Acrocanthosaurus. 1:35, would put it near the same size as there Feathered T.rex.

Brachiosaurus(Or Giraffatitan) thats "JUST AS BIG", or Bigger then the 2012 Carnegie Model. If they can make a Oversized Amargasaurus, then why not a proper sized Brachiosaurus?

These are two things I would love to see.

The Acrocanthosaurus, and a lot of the theropods released around 2012-2014, don't really match the current look of the Safari line and could desperately use an update.

Also, a large, and I mean "large", sauropod is sorely missing from the current lineup. Hopefully, it's more like Camarasaurus than the Amargasaurus in terms of sculpting.

This is Basicaly what im thinking as well.  But I do not see them Updateing them all in one year.  So i selected just one for now.

But hey, thats what this threads for. Hopes and Dreams  .

[Loon]

I came up with a couple more:

Megalosaurus
Kulindadromeus
Therizinosaurus: I don't find the old figure to be bad at all, but, with how good all of Doug Watson's recent maniraptorans have been, an updated therizinosaurus would be beautiful.

[Shonisaurus]

A barosaurus, barapasaurus, turiasaurus, dicraeosaurus or paralititan. They would be good additions by Safari in 2021. It would also be advisable to re-edit the Carnegie saltasaurus or a mamenchisaurus.
