No it wouldn't. Anyways, yes! Plesiosauroid plesiosaur for the Wild Safari line please, to complement the Liopleurodon. Maybe the aforementioned Cryptoclidus, or even - here's a thought - good old Plesiosaurus dolichodeirus. Just get the Kinto one. It's about as good as they will get. And thank you, at least there is one other person that can see that making a Dinosauroid figure would be a poor decision. If nothing else, it was based on a featherless dinosaur model, and the assumption that lifeforms have some sort of drive to become 'humanoid' (this is one of the reasons the creator is quite embarrassed by it). However, a feathered Dinosauroid would be a bloody brilliant decision. It would, theoretically, unite the evolutionists and the creationists (as well as pleasing the occultists e.g bird headed entities of ancient Egypt?) and may (inevitably) trigger world peace.

gee, lets see here Papo: a Rex similar to their Allosaurus some type of Sauropod A DECENT MARINE REPTILE FOR CHRISTS SAKE! Safari/Carnegie updated Carcharodontosaurus (Safari) a new Allosaurus sculpt (Carnegie) Suchomimus (Carnegie) Ceratosaurus (Carnegie) Australovenator (Safari) feathered Dromaeosaur (safari/carnegie) CollectA just update some of their old critters with the new qualty standards ummm..can't think of anymore

Except that the entire theory behind it--that there is some sort of driving force trying to push animals to be more like humans because that's what 'intelligent means is such bad, silly science. So if it ever did happen (other than the Japanese mystery figure one), I'm guessing it would be from Papo.

Who are these 'evolutionists'? I prefer the tag 'people living in the real world'. Anyway, a feathered dinosauroid would be no better than a baldy one. It presupposes that a highly birdlike animal would end up looking like a reptiloid alien from David Icke's fever dreams. If you want to see what a highly birdlike, intelligent, Cenozoic dinosaur would look like, go outside and study a crow. (Nothing's more highly birdlike than a bird...)

good luck with all those wishes..... the only chance we would really ever get with some of those obscure dinos would be a japanese company making them as a resin kit or exclusive figure.....maybee dino tales will be ressurected from the dead with some cool new figures... These lists/threads are rarely realistic--they rarely take business decisions into account. Don't worry though, once it's forgotten, there will be another one! It's true we forget: I myself forgot to mention the THYLACOSMILUS in my wish list!

CollectA always pumps out a dozen or so obscure species a year. if they stay in business long enough. I imagine they could release almost every dino ever discovered, (even if some would be based on poor fossil evidence) and if that happens, they would start pumping out the prehistoric mammals that everyone demands. Or they could start pumping out creatures from before the dinosaurs. or focus on all of the non dinosaurs that lived with them. OK I'm getting ahead of my self here, with my imagination So if any obscure species were to be made, CollectA might produce most of them. And with there improving quality, they could be one of the best dino manufactures on earth.

Bullyland might also bring up more obscure species as well! Remember all their prehistoric mammals: Gomphotherium, Deinotheirum, Chalicotherium, Anchitherium, Megaloceros... all of those are rather obscure species. And Bullyland released them all as toys! And I didn't talk about their Belemnite, their Mastodonsaurus and their Paratypothorax! And since all their toys are made in Germany (and not in China), we must not be afraid of lack of quality coming from them!

I wish that some company made a lambeosaurus! Possibly Safari...? Invicta's lambeosaurus is so old and rare and CollectA's is just odd.
And I've never seen a dilophosaurus toy that I really like (though it's one of my favourite dinosaurs), so a decent dilophosaurus would be nice.
Also I hope to see an andrewsarchus from Papo one day...

It's one of my favourite Dilophosaurus toys, but it doesn't really match my vision of the dinosaur. It's so petite looking that it's hard to imagine that the animal was 6m long. Idk, maybe it's the rat like pose and the stick thin limbs... And I'd like to see a non-tripedal pose for a while. Maybe something like this, but in more interesting colours... www.flickr.com/photos/ryno720/4674001500/in/faves-astrangerinthealps/

Yeah, I forgot to add to the previous post that I'd like to have it without that hand leaning... Anyways, a bit more horizontal dilophosaur-figure would be nice.

Dilophosaurus was a very lean dinosaur, but I'll concede that there is room for improvement as regards the Wild Safari model. For example, the teeth are a little crude and it's missing the vestigial fourth finger.

For example, the teeth are a little crude and it's missing the vestigial fourth finger. So that's why the body could be a bit leaner, too. But anyways, even if it was perfect I'd still like to have new one(s) released. Because I'm the type of collector that rather owns multiple versions of the same species, instead of having dozens of different species. Maybe I'm a bit weird haha :''D

Being a T. rex fan, I thought I had a lot of different T. rex models until it turned out that Niroot (Himmapaan) had even more purely by accident. I also have a lot of different Triceratops horridus (and a very few that could be identified as Triceratops prorsus, so...same genus, anyway).

Luckily for me, I know how to get them from Italy, Belgium or Germany... through Ebay! ;D
