For 2011 I wish an Achelousaurus... You mean....like this one? It's a Procon, although it looks like one of their better ones. Not that I've seen it in person. Thanks Horridus, It's the first time I see this figure... but I tend to like more "natural" colors. I guess the Papo Pachyrhino would satisfy me for a while...

I want more realistic feathered dinosaurs, including some recent discoveries like Epidexipteryx and Anchiornis.
Probably will never happen, though. I can hardly believe that companies are still popping out inaccurate dromaeosaurs in 2010...

For 2011 I wish an Achelousaurus... Done. In 2009: But that one's face oddly curves over to one side!

Second, now that one has been made, most other companies will steer clear of it anyway. Although, yes, an odd comment to say the least. We have gone through several at the store here, and I don't think 'curves' is how I would describe the face.

It's the best Pachyrinosaur with any size maybe 1/50. I'd like it better if it was 1/40 which would make it 8 inches long

Yes, I own one. I'll post a picture here for your curvy pleasure: See that? People complain about facial deformations in carnegies that are ten years old, but the first year that this one is made it's face is already uneven... I think if they had just made it straighter and made the skull (aside from the frill) a little larger it would have been really fantastic...

Woah, that is ugly. I mean, it's easier to get away with it on an animal without binocular vision, but...that's still ugly.

Jeez! Is it all of them that are like that or did u just have bad luck with the particular model you got?

ARRGGGH its a sloth (The Goonies) ceratopsian! Like some off the Carnagie T rex's. Any way since we are blessed with so many Giganotosaur's latly why not more its Papo's turn and since they did such a fantastic job with there allosaurus why not continue the trend with a Todd Marshall inspired Giga Oh and for the hell of it how bout a whirl tooth shark

An Helicoprion figure inspired by the above Marshall painting would seriously rock! But enough Giganotosaurus figures! Safari made it, Schleich and Bullyland too... It's a beautiful animal and all, but those companies should do more little ornithischian fellows (Hypsilofodon, Heterodontosaurus, and so on) and less famous theropods or pterosaurs (when will i see a Dimorphodon figure? WHEN?!!) Oh, and Safari should DEFINITELY do the models of the following Tyrannosaurids: - Tarbosaurus - Daspletosaurus - Alioramus - Dryptosaurus - Alectrosaurus - Eotyrannus - Guanlong Have you heard me, Safari guys?

Agreed. So would the Todd Marshall inspired Giga.

I'd love to see a Daspletosaurus, Sid. Trouble is I think toy companies would regard it as being too close to Tyrannosaurus in appearance. I think more gracile forms like Albertosaurus are just about different enough.

The older Safari Tyrannosaurus makes a decent stand in for a Daspletosaurus. At least thats what I think of him as in my collection. It would be about 1:40 scale too. I agree though I would love to see someone make a Dimorphodon. Thats my fav pterosaur.

Looks a bit big to me when compared with Corythosaurus there. Corythosaurus was a big old beast. Daspletosaurus wouldn't have been much (if at all) longer or taller than Albertosaurus, just more heavily built.

^ I second the Dimorphodon - besides Cog LTD and the cool standing one they did, has anyone else made this species ?
