CollectA--New for 2021

[suspsy]

CollectA appears to have the same affection for dark green on light green as Safari Ltd. has for black on yellow.

Although sometimes I remind myself just how many extant animals, usually mammals, are coloured mainly in slightly varying shades of brown. Dinosaurs may well not have been that different in terms of colour.

[Szajmin]

I like to imagine that animals animals occupying similar niches will have similar colors.

So i would like theropods painted like tigers, jagurs, wolfs, not like hawks or parrots.

Sinosauropteryx is like a racoon.
 

[suspsy]

Green coloration definitely benefits any theropod living in a forested area, which was the case for Neovenator.

[Eocarcharia]

They're far from perfect, but I think the Megalosaurus and Neovenator are good enough for me to pick up once they come out. I can always repaint them. I already have some ideas in mind.

[Wandering]

I like what they where going for.... but.... so far I'm not sold on the Megalosaurus....

Only a couple more days until the next reveal! After Safari's minimal output with nothing of interest for me, Collecta's my darling for next year. With the Pteranodon being a big surprise, I'm stoked to see what they have yet to offer.

[suspsy]

I really hope tomorrow's reveal is all non-dinosaurs.

[Brocc21]

That Deluxe Pteranodon is lookin mighty fine but God knows I don't have enough room on my shelf.

[Shonisaurus]

Tomorrow's revelation? Are the Collecta revelations coming up tomorrow? Normally Safari reveals its figures every Friday.

Yes, tomorrow is Thursday, meaning that Everything Dinosaur should have the new reveals posted sometime after 9PM (if you're on the eastern half of North America).

Same. Or at least some more underrepresented spieces or taxa (not just a sauropod or teropod) but like scientifically accurate gallimimus, mononykus

My greatest desire is a paraceratherium, I know it is to ask for an impossible, today but to dream ...

They still make a quality deluxe shonisaurus or shastasaurus at least one shonisaurus to replace my Schleich shonisaurus.

[Faelrin]

A new deluxe Shonisaurus would be amazing really.

I hope we get the Paleozoic invertebrate and if there is any Cenozoic animals this year from them, revealed next. Still hoping we will get a certain giant fish (or two) as well.

Hard same on that paraceratherium. Or any prehistoric mammal for that matter. Sorely lacking from any company so far..

[Halichoeres]

Welcome to the forum @Thialfi

If there's going to be a mammal I hope it's Repenomamus or Adalatherium.

[Shonisaurus]

@Faelrin Totally agree with you a Paleozoic invertebrate and one or two prehistoric fish would be spectacular.

@Thialfi Welcome to the forum. hopefully one day Collecta will make a high quality paraceratherium that will make us forget its predecessor Deluxe.

[Varanops]

1:  Welcome to the Forum, Thialfi.
2:  Where ostensibly garish coloration on dinosaurs is concerned, we need occasionally remind ourselves -- when marveling at a male Lady Gouldian finch or a spectacular bower bird (themselves dinosaurs, after all) -- that anything on the palette goes (except for that annoying and unrealistic "JP" on the flanks of some models).

The Xiphactinus joins my wishlist; @suspsy are the extant models revealed too?
