PNSO: New For 2021

We are also in dire need of a new Megatherium. The humble Safari "Giant Sloth" from 2004 is still presently the best one.

And as I have mentioned many times in the past, I'm dying for a top notch toy of Arctotherium. It's only the biggest known bear and the biggest known carnivorous land mammal, after all! CollectA or EoFauna would probably do the best job, as megafauna is decidedly what they're best at, but a PNSO one would probably also be fantastic.

Yesssss, this! Why oh why are there no short-faced bears on the market? I would jump on an Arctotherium from any one of those companies.

Also, related, why is there no love for extinct giraffids? Sivatherium, Bramatherium, Giraffokeryx, Palaeotragus, Decennatherium, Samotherium--there are so many good candidates for figures. Since PNSO seems to go for some less-common species, I keep hoping they'll decide to branch out into extinct ungulates.
Check out my customs thread!

As an Indian kid who wants more Indian species on the market, I can confirm we need a Shivatherium

Honestly, I see PNSO sticking to dinosaurs, but would be great for other obscure prehistoric animals to get some attention.

I am hoping they make larger figures of their minis. It seems like they are somewhat doing that, but who knows. But an Alioramus would be nice ;D

Hey, how about a Yutyrannus? Or a dacentrurus? Maybe try doing some invertebrates like omnidens and pterygotus

I'd love a Yutyrannus, but I rather have a species not yet made/updated in quite a while. Safari's Yutyrannus is pretty good for now.

Rajasaurus or Indosuchus?

avatar_Stegotyranno420 @Stegotyranno I wouldn't mind any species you have named. It all comes out to whether the price is right or if the figure looks good, PNSO never seems to fall short of their sculpts.

I agree that the Sauropelta's posture is off putting, that's why I passed on the figure, it is certainly not a bad sculpt or figure. If I were to even consider a sculpt of PNSO's to fall short it would be their Stegosaurus.

Why does the stegosaurus always get such bad fate. In pop culture, in battles, in toy form

Sometimes I draw pictures

So based on what I've seen floating around, if the whole "new figure every week until February" is true, then we can expect an Edmontonia which kind of got a reveal already, as well as the Allosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Zhuchengtyrannus, and potentially a Torosaurus and Pachycephalosaurus that have all been teased. Am I pretty near the mark with that?

Well, it's 5 more weeks (counting this one) until February. I don't know if all new figures will be from the mid-size range, or if there will be more from the museum line, like the t-rex (still don't understand that, but....). We still have a gap with #36 and #37 on the mid-size line, so at least two of the pending reveals should be there.

As far as size goes, I still don't understand why their Corythosaurus is significally bigger than their Lambeosaurus since they are supposed to be about the same.
I guess the Corythosaurus is the one a bit too big for 1/35, but I don't know what to expect from the Parasaurolophus now...

I think that the Qianzhousaurus is a game-changer: the promotional Poster showed the Diorama version, then a completely new sculpt came out. So, Although we can guess the next entries, it will be interesting to see how they look.

I think both of you are on point. 5 figures, 5 weeks, and hopefully this is true. But remember, rumor has it that there will be vinyl figures as well this year, so hold on to your wallets.

I like vinyl figures, in fact I bought the ophtalmosaurus last year it is a figure that is super outstanding, but in my case if they release vinyl figures PNSO they will have to convince me a lot of said figures to collect them. They are very pretty but unfortunately they take up too much space.

Here's my rough calculation on both their scales.
Take it will a pinch of salt.
Not sure if the size estimates of the actual animals are correct or up to date.

Ok thanks that's reassuring.
Can't wait for the Parasaurolophus !
I also wonder what size their rumored Pachycephalosaurus will have.
