Favorite Co. Ltd. - New for 2020

[Concavenator]

Are these supoosed to be Asian dinosaurs then? If so, why is a Carnotaurus in there? 

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

Does anyone know which sauropod that is meant to represent?

[Shonisaurus]

Honestly, in my case I will buy the Soft Model Dinosaurs of Favorite 2020 and perhaps the vinyl pterosaur. The others feeling it a lot can wait.

@Concavenator, the post from Favorite (literally translated) says "Carnivorous dinosaur representing Asia".  IF we assume that horned abelisaurid is Carnotaurus, then the only other asian species will be the Tyrannosaur, so probably Tarbosaurus.

@Gothmog the Baryonyx , the species' names haven't been revealed.  Favorite's cheeky answer (literally translated) was: "you already know the dinosaur by the silhouette"

Thanks for your replies @PhilSauria and @stargatedalek.

In that case the sauropod must be Diplodocus.
I guess it will be the most succesful figure of the three big ones.

Yes, I think you're right. The closest thing I've seen to an obscure dinosaur in Favorite's main dinosaur line is Archaeopteryx, so Diplodocus seems like a good bet.

[Shonisaurus]

Sincerely I would like Favorite to reveal soon which figures of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals (pterosaurs) will be available in the market soon, I would like you to specify the names although some are known as the carnotaurus. I do not understand paleontology and biology and that is one of the reasons why I would like Favorite to reveal all the names apart from showing us the prototype figures.

Although that should be part of the guessing game of the Favorite Soft Model brand.

Here's the text accompanying the pictures (of the large vinyl models) shared by postsaurischian:

Favorite's Large format vinyl model
* It has been a while since the release of the Mosasaurus vinyl model.  We know you want information on the next dinosaur. [] Several unique species are under active development.
* Here are the uncolored samples. You can guess the species by the silhouette.
* We are preparing the paint scheme of the dinosaurs, they will go to production soon.
* The release is scheduled for spring 2020 or later.
* The vinyl models are "large and soft" which makes them kid-friendly, but Adults will also enjoy the authentic details.
* Kids will love them.**
* Under the supervision of Kazunari Araki, Japan's leading dinosaur sculptor, the figures are made to realistically reproduce the characteristics of each dinosaur.
* A detailed figure that you can play with.
* Look forward to it!

[] - I used this to mark a section that I omitted because it says: "A long necked dinosaur, a pterosaur and a Carnivore from Asia", when the pictures show a sauropod, a pterosaur and an iguanodontid.

As usual, I've already paraphrased the post because the direct translation from Google or Facebook, while funny and entertaining, don't make for good reading.

Could the tyrannosaur end up being something really out there like Timurlengia? The skull profile doesn't really scream tyrannosaurid to me.

Odd that no one can really pin down the genus. You'd think the skull would easy to compare, as Araki"s designs seem to have them almost entirely visible.

[Killekor]

Could the Tyrannosaur be Quianzhousaurus?

[Flaffy]

Could the Tyrannosaur be Quianzhousaurus?

I don't think so. Since it doesn't have a thin elongated snout as seen in members of Alioramini.

[Daspletodave]

The tyrannosaur is Tarbosaurus! Favorite doesn't go in for obscure dinos.

[Sim]

I think the tyrannosauroid is Favorite making an obscure species, and I would consider Tarbosaurus to be obscure.

Am I the only one hoping the sauropod is Apatosaurus or Brontosaurus?  Diplodocus already has a nice big figure in the newer Carnegie Collection version.  Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus on the other hand don't.  Additonally, skulls are known for Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus but not for Diplodocus.

Thanks for the info!

I would rather it be Apatosaurus or Brontosaurus, also. I'm very happy with my Diplodocus situation.

Interesting that you consider Tarbosaurus obscure. I'm not sure where the cutoff is, but I think of it as a pretty commonplace, well-known one.

[Daspletodave]

The sauropod is most likely Apatosaurus - since that dino was included in the first series back in 2004.

[Shonisaurus]

But can the PVC and vinyl pterosaur of Favorite Soft Model be a kind of Asian pterosaur?

No, you're not the only one. I'd prefer a nice big Brontosaurus or Apatosaurus over a Diplodocus.
