CollectA--New for 2021

That Mamenchisaurus looks really good, assuming the size Everything Dinosaur posted, it looks like I can replace the PNSO Mamenchisaurus and its space consuming box with this much more accurate model. That is pleasing.
The Kamuysaurus is also extremely pleasing. I was expecting the next Japanese dinosaur to be another Fukui island brother, probably Fukuititan  but I am more interested in this gorgeous Hadrosaur and look forward fo adding it to my collection. Those colours look great on a Hadrosaur.
And the fewer reminders that the Tsintaosaurus figure exists would be nice lol
I am not interested in the corpse but it is quite interesting and yes if only they had a dead pterosaur we could have dead versions of all the dinosaurs (and relatives) that appeared in the 1970s Doctor Who story Invasion of the Dinosaurs. No reason whatsoever why I would mention this fact aside from the fact that I could do something with that...
Megalosaurus, Iguanodon, Archaeopteryx, Cetiosaurus, Compsognathus, Hadrosaurus, Brontosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Albertosaurus, Herrerasaurus, Stenonychosaurus, Deinonychus, Maiasaura, Carnotaurus, Baryonyx, Argentinosaurus, Sinosauropteryx, Microraptor, Citipati, Mei, Tianyulong, Kulindadromeus, Zhenyuanlong, Yutyrannus, Borealopelta, Caihong

Another little-represented ornithopod is always welcome. Man, I really need to catch up on CollectA's figures.

Everything Dinosaur posted a video where the revealed figures are discussed.

Interestingly, there are some silhouettes in the thumbnail, I wonder if these are teases at what's to come. Probably not, I'm pretty sure one of them is just the old Wild Safari Brachiosaurus.

One of these is the older Safari Brachiosaurus and another is the Replica Saurus Pteranodon so not likely.
The plesiosaur looks like their Hydrotherosaurus too.

I haven't bought an CollectA Corpse until now, and am am looking at them in Onlineshops but i think i would prefer a more.. eaten up Corpse. I like the Idea of bringig Corpses to the market, but i would love to create somekind of a feast. Also, i guess it is a big to large for me. But i love the Idea. Also, that they are going with the same Paintschemes as their living counterparts.

I'm old enough to remember that when it was first broadcast. I saw it again a few years ago and, apart from some terrible special effects, it is a genius story, like something John Wyndham might come up with. Classic British science fiction.

Crackington

Yes I remember it too, a real time travel conundrum, with (very) sub-Harryhausen dinos and Robin Hood (??!) menacing London. Brings back great memories!

Loon

I have never really seen Doctor Who, but that sounds like my kind of crazy.

A dead Pteranodon would also complete the roster of G1 Dinobots!
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

Before they do a dead Pteranodon, they need to replace their old Deluxe one; it's showing its age rather painfully.

If they did a living Pteranodon it would probably be a supreme deluxe instead of one of the smaller species which would be a shame.

I think that would be a fantastic idea, fingers crossed

I'm honestly surprised CollectA has not done a Yi (or Ambopteryx). They tend to be really quick on making figures of new discoveries. A supreme one would be a delight (if not a larger one from PNSO similar to this year's Microraptor). On that note I'm surprised no one (other then Creative Beast Studio/David Silva) did a Zhenyuanlong yet either. Even PNSO has not yet done one.

I'd love to see an updated Quetzalcoatlus or Hatzegopteryx from CollectA, especially when it is in a standing pose.
The only reason I didn't buy any of them yet is mostly the outdated way the wings fold.

I might get the old Hatzegopteryx sometime however simply for its colours.

A Yi from CollectA would be fantastic too, the only ones so far are the one by PNSO and the hard to find one by Kaiyodo I think.
And the PNSO one could also have been done better, sometimes its paint job is a bit sloppy with the patagium melting into the twig.
yeah i hope its in the same scale as the dimorphodon

Shonisaurus

I honestly would also like a Yi qi I do not understand also how a yi qi of Supreme Deluxe size has not been made by Collecta I think that this figure would be successful in sales.

Updated the OP. Here's the relevant info:

https://blog.everythingdinosaur.co.uk/blog/_archives/2020/11/13/new-collecta-models-2021-part-2.html

My thoughts? All three of these look absolutely freaking fantastic! I don't care how many Pteranodon toys there's been in the past; this one plows over all of them like a bulldozer. The tail tassel is a clever little touch. Colours are great too.

The Megalosaurus was long overdue. Love how its mouth is firmly shut. Same goes for the Neovenator. I have a soft spot for the 2012 Deluxe version, but I'll certainly be snapping this one up as well.

Come to think of it, the original CollectA Megalosaurus toy has yet to get a review on the blog. Hopefully someone will submit one for the sake of completeness.

And now we're back to waiting another week! Hopefully the next reveal will include more non-dinosaurs!

That Pteranodon is simply FANTASTIC! The colors, the sculpt, I love everything about it! Especially his tail! I have seen many artists draw pterosaur tails like that, but never expected to see it on a toy!
