Thanks indohyus! :)  Tim, it looks like you need to modify your list again! :D

So it would seem! Thank you both. On release, I checked Joy City's web site, and at that time it was listed as 'amphicyonid.' Glad to know the actual product is more specific.

I've removed Centrosaurus from the list due to the PNSO version being released, I've changed the colour for Euparkeria to purple as the Safari toob figure version is good, and I've slightly changed the title of this thread.

How about a Castoroides?

I hope Eofauna makes one, as they've proven to be one of the best at making prehistoric elephants.

Realising that this current year is the 100th anniversary of Dromaeosaurus being named made me check the list in the first post for other noteworthy anniversaries.  One I noticed is this year is the 50th anniversary of Gallimimus being named!  Could we be getting a new figure of Gallimimus from Safari perhaps?  And yes, it's also the 210th anniversary of Pterodactylus being named...

I'd really like the three species of Cymbospondylus known from good remains to be made into figures.  I've added them to the list, they are as follows:

1868: Cymbospondylus petrinus
1989: Cymbospondylus buchseri
2021: Cymbospondylus youngorum

It's now on the list, Tim. :)  I wonder if it or another hupehsuchian will ever be made into a figure?

Sim

I've removed Torosaurus from the list now that PNSO has released theirs!

Sim

I've removed Amargasaurus from the list as between its single first neck spine and its extensive neck sails, I no longer am interested in having an accurate Amargasaurus figure.  With regards to it and Spinosaurus, I find that I like the appearance of existing figures of them more than that of the real animal...

Sim

I've added the following species to the list:

1994: Achelousaurus horneri
2010: Medusaceratops lokii

Sim

I've removed some species from the list in the first post.  Acrocanthosaurus and Tsintaosaurus now that PNSO's versions are released.  Patagotitan now that Safari's is released.  Hylaeosaurus because it's too fragmentary.  And some species I alone expressed an interest in as I no longer have interest in them.

avatar_Sim @Sim There's the BotM Medusaceratops, don't you consider it good? Utahraptor also appears in the list, and there will soon be the BotM one as well.

I took a quick look at the list and it mentions Majungasaurus, there's the upcoming Wild Past version.

Safari will also be releasing a Zuul.

DinoZoo also has plans for a Chilesaurus, perhaps you would be interested in taking a look at it... it's certainly better than Papo's!

For this list I'm currently not including action figures or resin figures.  BotM figures are of course action figures, and last time I checked Dinozoo figures are made of resin.

As for the BotM Medusaceratops specifically, I'm not convinced by the largest frill spikes going behind a lower pair of frill spikes, and I believe the first pair of frill protrusions should be separate from the large frill spikes pair.  The BotM is also missing bumps along the midline of the frill.  Compare the BotM's frill to the this reconstruction: https://www.deviantart.com/getawaytrike/art/Nightmare-of-Judithian-730361896

I'll remove species from the list when a good figure of them is released, so hopefully soon Majungasaurus, Zuul and Albertosaurus will leave the list!
