Safari 2021 Hopes and Dreams!

[Shonisaurus]

I would like a megaraptor, a callovosaurus and a europelta among the new dinosaurs by Safari in the year 2021.

A barosaurus and a barapasaurus would be necessary as sauropods are fairly obscure figures on the toy market. I honestly don't like Schleich's barapasaurus and I want to replace that figure with a more scientific and interesting one.

Would love to see Safari Ltd. take on a Seymouria/Cacops-like amphibian or a basal ceratopid (not as basal as the PNSO Liaoceratops or Collecta Koreaceratops, but not as derived as Protoceratops/Zuniceratops). Montanoceratops?

Agreed - we need another ancient amphibian, since Bullyland's Mastodonsaurus is pretty scarce and as for the ceratopid, who wouldn't be up for another Doug Watson addition to his  superb collection  of this branch of ornithischians.

I'd love to see Prionosuchus.

[Jose S.M.]

I would like to see a Maiasaura but since they made Edmontosaurus I doubt it. An updated Postosuchus would be nice.  Another pterosaur in a walking pose and more non Mesozoic animals.

[Shonisaurus]

I would like an exotic ceraptósido like the medusaceratops, kosmoceratops, arrhinoceratops, anchiceratops or achelousaurus apart from another ceraptósido better known as the chasmosaurus, protoceratops or Centrosaurus.

Eventually I would like Safari to do all these ceratopsides mentioned and especially made by Doug Watson.

[Concavenator]

I would like to see a Maiasaura

I would love an up to date Maiasaura model, it's one of my favorite hadrosaurids. I don't think it's that unlikely that Safari will eventually get to release it, as it was featured in the Carnegie Collection and retired a few years ago. Perhaps it will be their next hadrosaur figure.

[Irritation]

My wishlist:
Remakes:
Deltadromeus
Maiasaura (with nest)
Andrewsarchus
Saltasaurus
Euoplocephalus
Scutosaurus

New Creatures:
Titanis
A Labyrinthodont
Centrosaurus
Nyctosaurus
Dire Wolf
Placerias

[Stuckasaurus (Dino Dad Reviews)]

I'd love to see Prionosuchus.

I've been putting this one on my Safari wishlist for the past few years!

Know what else I'd love to see from Safari next year? More toys sculpted by the mystery artist responsible for the 2017 Diplodocus and Anzu.

I would also like more figures made by that sculptor and also by the Amargasaurus sculptor from Safari last version of 2018. I honestly don't dislike that figure even though it has gaunt lips. It is a super-interesting and decent-sized amargasaurus figure.

Gee thanks guys!

Come on, @Doug Watson. Just because I like pizza doesn't mean I can't like spaghetti with meatballs as well.

Hey you are free to like and want anything you want just don't expect the guy who makes the pizza to like it if he is making less money because you want spaghetti and meatballs.

Touché. I just think that sculptor is clearly very talented and I'd be very interested to see their take on other species. But it's easy to want that when you're part of the audience and not the competition.

Its okay Doug, you brought the golden era of safari figures after the fall of the Carnegie collection. The Tyrannosaurus, ankylosaurus, triceratops, dunkleosteus, liopleurodon, postosuchus, mastodon, monophlosaurus, edmontosaurus, styracosaurus, pteranodon and many others are incredible figures. Honestly you're my favorite sculptor at the company, tied with Forest Rogers and the person who made the 2017 Giganotosaurus, maybe even better.
I also like how you have different styles, from rugged and monstrous, to fluffy and fat, and seeing your 2020 figures reminded me of the art by C.M Koseman.  .

[Stegotyranno420]

My list is Rajasaurus, Torvosaurus, 1:40 scale sauropod(any sauropod larger than 20 meters), A Carcharodontosaur, or erythosuchus

[Shonisaurus]

@Doug Watson Doug, I really like your figures, I think they are the best in the market for toy dinosaurs, but that does not mean that your colleagues in the Safari brand profession also make very good figures. On the other hand, in this case, the amargasaurus from Safari has a defect and they are the lack of lips, an aspect that is not observed in the malawisaurus made by you and that is the best dinosaur figure by the magazine Prehistoric Times of 2018.

It''s a sad fact that when a freelancer like me joins an existing line up of other freelancers someone gets less work. When I started with Safari in 2003 it meant I was taking work from someone else. Same thing when they finally gave me prehistoric work there was someone doing them before me who wasn't getting the work anymore. I was happy but at the same time I felt for that person. Eventually I will be replaced, I will either retire or someone they like better will come along.

The same artist was responsible for the Amargasaurus, Anzu, Kronosaurus, Diplodocus, Malawisaurus, Microraptor, Giganotosaurus, and Quetzalcoatlus. Those figures were all a collaborative effort between the sculptor and the scientific consultant (me). I suspect Safari Ltd have since turned to Doug for all of their dino figures because that way they can do away with the consultant. But I don't know.
