[oscars_dinos]

Getting the spino was low key stressful so I really wouldn't want any more limited editions...

With that being said

If one of the new 2020 models doesn't end up being a scientifically accurate t rex then that's what id really like to see from Papo for 2021.

besides that
-majungasaurus would be a nice counter to their Carno
-nasutoceratops
-Kentrosaurus
(make them all scientifically accurate please)

If I had to ask for any repaint I guess I would just say their triceratops

[Shonisaurus]

A paraceratherium by Collecta would be a nice addition or a majungasaurus as indicated.

On the other hand olorotitan or a chasmosaurus.

Pterosaurs could make a ptedodaustro, ludodactylus or a dsungaripterus.

A rutiodon would be interesting except my redondasaurus I don't have a phytosaurus large enough and representative.

On the other hand, a megalodon to compete with Collecta and PNSO for putting two examples and a machairodus or other saber-toothed cat made by the same sculptor of Papo who made the current felines (lions and tigers) and in aggressive posture .

[Syndicate Bias]

From what I've heard a T Rex isn't on the cards for 2020. This thread is a little bit too early honestly the full releases from papo havent even been announced yet

agree

[Concavenator]

These "Hopes & Dreams" thread are getting quite pointless in my opinion.Normally these threads would appear sometime in the summer, close to September when the first company (which is usually Safari) starts showing their new releases. But now, Papo hasn't even shown their new figures and there's already this thread.

I also don't understand why instead of creating a general "2020 Hopes & Dreams thread" there's one for almost every brand.Wouldn't it be easier to have all these hopes and suggestions in one thread?

If all three dinosaurs you asked for are in a jurassic world game there's no way you're gonna get scientific accuracy

[Loon]

This may sound odd, since isn't a new figure I'd like to see; but, since Papo's retiring a lot of their older figures and repainting them, I'd like them to repaint their Triceratops in the real colors of the Jurassic Park Trike (sans dirt).

[MoarCrossovers]

Why is there a 2021 thread? We don't even know what we're getting for 2020 yet and you're already speculating?

I wouldn't go as far as saying this kind of thread is pointless; even if companies rarely listen to them, it's still fun to read what you and others want from them. I agree that this thread was started too early though.

I also fully agree that a general "XXXX Hopes & Dreams" would be better than the current system; for the most part my hopes and dreams for next year are the same for every company.

[Sarapaurolophus]

All I need from my French friends right now is for them to toss their Amargasaurus and replace it with a new one. I know it's beating a dead horse at this point but their version looks as if the artist was not given enough time to make it and then they just slapped some leftover paint on and called it a day.
Saw the little stinker on shelf last week and the color looked almost gross to me.
As someone who loves small sauropods, their current Amarga is painful to look at.

[SidB]

A repainted Triceratops.

[Dinoxels]

I will agree with SidB that a repainted Trike would be nice, especially if it looks like the new Parasaurolophus. A new Abelisaurid would also be great, as well as a Sauropod. More Tyrannosaurids would also be nice, considering the way the Papo Gorgosaurus looks.

[Cretaceous Crab]

Well, I think Papo's 2019 attempt at Spinosaurus is about as good as it's going to get. I still want it, but my dinosaur budget is zilch at the moment.

In general, I do like unique stylized figures that stand on their own two feet (figuratively and literally), but I'd like to see less recreations of JP/JW-style figures.

Of course, I'm hoping for ANYONE to make an Appalachiosaurus, and Papo's Gorgosaurus is encouraging.

I would really like to see is a titanosaur sauropod, maybe inspired by Ricardo Delgado's Age of Reptiles series; either The Journey or Ancient Egyptians.

[Shonisaurus]

Papo could make a prosaurolophus is a very underrated figure in the toy dinosaur market or a saurolophus to accompany my magnificent replica of Favorite Soft Model.

[Sim]

Interesting list @tanystropheus!  I don't think Papo will be making Albertosaurus anytime soon as it's too similar to Gorgosaurus.  I also doubt Papo will make new versions of Allosaurus or Brachiosaurus in the near future.  The Pteranodon is one of their worst figures though, so a new one could be nice.

As for others you listed, part of me hopes to see a lovely Rhamphorhynchus from Papo and another part of me is worried it will be messed up by something like maybe lacking a full covering of pycnofibers.  Nothosaurus seems like something that could be made well by Papo.  They wouldn't mess it up, right? Right?  Edmontonia, Saurolophus and Kentrosaurus all seem like something Papo could make very good versions of.  I find it hard to imagine any of those being messed up, unless a weird pose is chosen for them.  Yutyrannus also seems like a good choice for Papo, as long as the pose is good.

If you don't see the point, don't read the thread and you won't have anything to complain about.

With this being a Hopes & Dreams thread rather than a predictions thread, I sincerely hope that 2021 is the year that Papo finally throws off the yoke of inaccurate, Jurassic Park-style movie monsters and ridiculous poses and fully commits to producing accurate scientific models; if they actually allowed their sculptors to apply their considerable artistic talents to creating rigorous, accurate reconstructions of prehistoric creatures they could all but corner the market. This being Papo, of course this will never happen. In terms of genuine predictions, I think we'll see the trend of highly-requested species being completely butchered by nonsensical, goofy poses and inexcusable inaccuracies continue.

Papo has the potential to make one hundred percent scientific dinosaurs. I hope that also his commercial philosophy and the next prehistoric animals he makes (although there are much quite scientific) are scientists like the dinosaurs of Collecta, Safari, Rebor, PNSO or Eofauna to give five examples.

The limited version spinosaurus of Papo 2019 left them fabulous, why didn't they do something similar with their 2020 giganotosaurus?

On the other hand, except for exceptions, of course, the different threads of Hopes & Dreams proposed by which we are members of DTF are not heard in most cases by a considerable part of dinosaur brands and other prehistoric toy animals.

The listed dinosaurs should fit Papo's strengths. I don't think Papo could possibly botch up a Nothosaurus unless they decide to make it bipedal for no good reason
