The thing I want most of all... funnily enough... is a Papo remake... OF.... T-Rex. I hate JPIII, though (yes, bad plot is beaten by pure excitement) the Lost World I thought was the best. The T-Rexes were great in the film, and Papo makes the figure dumb by having it's tail on the floor. Papo failed this: Papo should do this: Upright, on two legs, with greenish body with darker green stripes on body and head.

Papo made the tail really small on the rex too, I mean... It's miniscule!
I think if they made one in the same pose as the spino or allo it would be a win.

That's more like a "Hey boys I'm in heat come get some" kind of pose, don't you think? ;D Seriously, put the upright papo figure behind it and see how they look Procon actually just made a mold of papo's head to make that figure, if you look closely each little scale on each line up.

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 I entirely agree about the giga (they'd probably get the feet too large though), but I don't think they should do a helicoprion that looks like that, I think that that looks really unnatural... I think something more like this would work better:

I almost expect a Photoshop of this picture... Is that even legal? No wonder, it looked too good for a Procon! ARRGGGH its a sloth (The Goonies) ceratopsian! Like some off the Carnagie T rex's.

I think something more like this would work better: Next year in Tech Prep we're making Pizza Cutters. I already decided to make one look like that Helicoprion. What does the fossil look like? I've never seen the real thing. This is what I'm asking for, only on two feet. I don't want a dragging-tail, but a Safari LTD-Tail I wouldn't mind, though in the style of Spino and Allo, it should be balanced!

I'd like to see a really well detailed Therizinosaurus made by Papo. I'll keep dreamin'.... it's my favorite and at least it's been made a few times in some form or fashion.

A Brachiosaurus by Papo would be nice. As long as it wasn't in a JP inspired rearing pose.

I do love that galaxy version - and you're right, you definitely can't beat the price. I even like the Dinos of China version with the wall piece, but if Papo made one standing upright with the arms down, maybe looking slightly to one side I would be all over it. Maybe something close to the the Kaiyodo version in a larger sculpt. I like the fat little belly on that one - ha ha!
Plus Safari is just getting better and better - I'd like to see their take on a re-do, also. I bet Procon could make a beauty.
There are so many new Dinos from different lines being created by different companies - this is a great time to be into the hobby. Procon by itself is hard to keep up with!

Procon already tried a Nothronychus - and they got the feet wrong!

I forgot about that one! I wasn't wild about the orange, either. Maybe I'll pick up an extra the next time I get some Procon and paint it my way. I've thought about getting another Galaxy and painting that one, too. Hard to get time with a 3 year old, though.
What if the feathers on these things were iridescent like the male peacock? Of if they were red like a male cardinal? We have those turkey vultures all over the place here - red heads with black backs and white wing tips. That would look interesting.

Generally I don't care about how companies color dinosaurs (unless it is really evident they didn't think it through at all), but when they screw up a therizinosaur's feet, well....
That would be really flashy for such a large dinosaur, but it would look good ;D

Ornithomimus, Pelecanimimus and Elaphrosaurus. And some hypsilophodonts and Dryosaurs. I addend to this the state dinosaur of Maryland, i.e., Astrodon; which, apart from having a great name, was also a major player in the novel Raptor Red. Its Wikipedia page also has a cool artist's interpretation that would serve to make a unique sauropod. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrodon
