OK - presuming I am looking at the right toy - Hollardops mesocristata? If not, then I think it's probably a closely related species. It's a common commercial species so the sculptor would have had easy access to a specimen for inspiration and guidence. This is the toy I'm going by -

More different species of Sauropods and ceratopsians from all the major toy line! Also some permian and triassic creatures will be waaaay cool. New prehistoric mammals figures and more marine reptiles.

Prehistoric plants and a good sized Indricotherium.

Permian fauna all the way...Some good Sphenacodon,various anphibians,good ol' Gorgonopsids,and a lot of insects and such would be uber-cool ;D Then...Marine reptiles,a Nothosaurus (another favorite o' mine),some Ichtyosaurs,Pliosaurids,Mosasaurs and Placodontids A kickass Tarbosaurus model! A decent Pachyrynosaurus,or a Centrosaurus (wonder why they haven't yet produced a toy of Mister C...Isn't he famous among dinophiles??) And...a Basilosaurus/Zeuglodon figure...It would be badass

Probably because everyone already makes Styracosaurus, which is extremely similar but even more popular! Still, I'd collect a better diversity of centrosaurines if they were well done. Albertaceratops would be cool to have too.

Definitely more Permian fauna. How about a prehistoric whale? Mammallike reptiles. And of course Invictas - the animal then doesn´t matter anymore More small ornithopods, please! More Psittacosaurus, please (with its hairy ridge on the tail of course)

Wow, that's a nice Sarcosuchus! I would love to see that!

Has anybody said anatomically accurate feathered dinosaurs?
Aside from the Carnegie Dilong and Beipiaosaurus (hard to screw with with just protofeathers) I have yet to see any accurate maniraptor figures at all. The Bullyland feathered raptor is an abomination against god, and the other Cernegies are ok but it seems like they didn't bother to do very much research or like, look at the fossils at all. Or understand how feathers attach to the body.
And I second the obscure thing--everybody seems to do the same figures over and over again. Let's get some prolacertiformes, or placoderms, or scansoriopterygids. Other kinds of prehistoric birds would be great too--enantiornithes, a good Hesperornis, etc.
And some decent pterosaurs, that's another one that's sorely lacking. The pterosaurs out there are worse than the dinobirds.

Ornithopods. Wouldn't mind a nice Hypsilophodon, an updated Iguanodon (Honestly, when are they gonna give us one?), some duckbills, maybe a Thescelosaurus, a Talenkauen...
I don't know. We need Ornithopods.

Uh...everything?
It looks like a Marshmallow, and its outdated.
I want one that's on all fours, in a modern reconstruction posture. We haven't had one like that.

That's just reiterating your opinion, not explaining it. Reconstructions of Iguanodon haven't changed much since the 1980s, IMHO. Who says Iguanodon was incapable of standing bipedally, even if it did most of its walking quadrupedally?

Who says Iguanodon was incapable of standing bipedally, even if it did most of its walking quadrupedally? The fact that the caudal vertebrae interlock in such a way so that the tail could not bend enough to allow for a bipedal Iguanodon. Early reconstructions were based on curators forcibly bending the tail--even breaking vertebrae--in order to satisfy the desire to create a kangaroo-dino.

What about the toyway iguanodon? He's on all fours.
