This a really great set. I like them all! ;D Hope to see Arsinoitherium, Andrewsarchus*, Platybelodon, Chalicotherium, and Paraceratherium by Mojo in 2014-2015. Basilosaurus would be a plus, but it appears that there is a general lack of enthusiasm for the 'primitive' whale by most toy companies....

*I have the WS Andrewsarchus. I don't like it all that much. It's too rigid.

If you haven't, you can probably still find the Bully Andrewsarchus. Much better and more lively!


Sbell - surely you jest - anyhow, this is what the Bully Andrewsarchus has always reminded me of - Mickey Rat:



Hah, hah  :P  Good one! I agree with that. ;D  Boy, I can't wait for these new figures to show up next year. ;D ;D

Good list. I think you've touched upon some real collector's items (e.g. Uinta/Syntheto).

My favorite andrewsarchus is the one from safari.
My living room smells like old plastic dinosaur toys... Better than air freshener!

:)) Ha, ha .... Delightful :))!

Really - it's time for Mojö! We don't have a good Andrewsarchus toy yet.
The only really good one is Sean Cooper's Paleocraft model.

SBell

At least the head looks large enough on the Bully (although, yes, they have a hard time with facial expression).  I've seen the skull up close, and it's a ridiculous animal.

The other one, somewhat different (better? not sure) is the Play Visions large figure:

The double-Y horns sound very interesting, are there any pictures? I have never heard of it before. Any theories behind it? A different species, or maybe an older individual?

Also, if SBell says it is possible for brontotherium to have a smaller hump like the mojo model, then I shall begrudgingly "be ok" with it as well, even if I am still much more fond of the taller-humped specimens  :D

I don't have a photo handy, sorry. If I can get one I'll show you (as I said, there are only a few of them).



Megacerops kuwagatarhinus

Sean, do you know how much of this skull is original and intact? As you know trying to find info is really hard, you would think for an unusual specimen there would be more interest. I want to believe in this but I just wonder if a jumble of skull pieces were assembled together, I would hope not. :-\. However until further notice, I'll assume it's real and I will convert one of the newer Megacerops toys to this.

Well, I held the skull myself, and other than some glue to hold it together it was pretty much intact as is (no reconstruction).  So it is indeed a real morphology. Extremely rare, but real.

I'm still dying to see Papo's new stuff. Stop tormenting me and reveal already, dammit!

I must have that Dimorphodon! ;D

Its tail seems bendable!

Kudos to Safari for correcting the name of the Burgess Shale toob from Cambrian Era to Cambrian Life.  What a wonderful company!

We won't know until it comes out at the end of June.The Rhamphorhynchus from the same line didn't have a bendable tail.Plus there is no mention of that on the website (though it should be noted that the site does not mention it pertaining to either of their giant squid models which DO have bendable parts though)

Primeval12

I thought the concovenator was supposed to have arm feathers! :( At least i could finally get a chance to get the Pteranodon baby and the rest of the creatures. BTW what's the difference between the old and new brachiosaurus.

Gryphoceratops

Ha!  I new that dimorphodon looked bendy!  The diabloceratops and gryposaurus look incredible with the detail!
