Any figures you would lke to see reviewed?
This thread is designed for the Admins to announce blog entries they are working on, and for other members to suggest figures they would like to see reviewed.
For starters, I am working on a review of the Invicta Apatosaurus - or Brontosaurus to all you stuck-in-the-muds.

And a review of the Schleich kronosaurus (a personal favorite) would be cool, and compared and contrasted with the Safari kronosaurus, and the actual kronosaurus  |

And a review of the Schleich kronosaurus (a personal favorite) would be cool, and compared and contrasted with the Safari kronosaurus, and the actual kronosaurus Unpainted - I have very few of the painted ones. After collecting the unpainted versions, I decided (rather, my pocket money decided) that there was little need to duplicate figures for the sake of a new colour scheme. Good Idea on the Kronosaurus comparison - I will put that on my 'to do' list. One of the main reasons Kronosaurus toys are often bad (Safari - urgg!), is because there are errors in the fossil mount. |

I'm working on the AAA Hyeanodon and the WwD Postosuchus right now. I'll start a new one for the Battat Ceratosaurus. The rest will have to wait a little bit. Expect MANY Cambrian bugs, too |

I'm sort of a stickler for scale, and I wish sometimes they would stick to the 1/40th scale with the Carnegie set. I would like to see some of the smaller dinosaurs to scale, like oviraptor, coelophysis, ornitholestes, leaellynasaurus, troodon, etc.
They had a few like this in the Safari feathered dinosaur tube, as well as their previously released Deinonychus pack and Protoceratops nest.

imagine a Microraptor at a 1:40 scale ;D Teeny - but cheap! you could buy a whole flock |

Actually, I think there is one in the feathered dinosaur tube that is about an inch long, though still bigger than 1/40th!

True.
I even forgot - I have a safari Microraptor keyring attached to my bag at the moment, which I have been meaning to photograph and blog on (to annoy Piltdown Chickenraptors ;D).

I also concurr with the Carnegie needing to stick to the 1/40 scale, and if they're gonna make small dinosaurs, they should also be in scale, like 1/20 all of them, not 1/20 this one and 1/10 another one. It's annoying.
I bought a Battat Maiasaura and Edmontonia just this week, I could blog on it if you'd like me to, once I receive them.
