I just realized something. Shouldn't the Edmonto have the little dragon ridges down the back? Or was that a different dinosaur mummy that was discovered. I know there was a brachylophosaurus one too but I can't remember which one it was that showed the ridges and the banded tail pattern. I think it should have those ridges but I'm not sure either.

I'm pretty sure the tail pattern was from the mummified Brachylophosaurus, at least. That could have been made into a stunning figure.

It was the mummy "Dakota" that had the tail pattern and they say it could be an Edmontosaurus. They used the mummy to make new picture of what Hadrosaurs looked like and came up with this.

I do remember that the mummy (THE MUMMY!) showed that hadrosaurs were probably far nippier, owing to larger-than-expected musculature, than was previously assumed. No doubt it's one of the reasons why tyrannosaurs have legs more like those of much smaller dinosaurs.

There was a banded tail pattern on that fossil? Anyone have pics of the tail?

It was the scale patterns that seemed to alternate in bands, which is why alternating color patterns have been suggested.

His arms are so long and delicate looking, really a gorgeous creature, even mummified and fossilized. <3

I don't know how you want them to be MORE like kaiyodoes - they're already extremely detailed, with great paint apps. The only thing that makes them different is the fact that kaiyodos are made of resin! Kaiyodo's are actually styrene plastic which is hard and brittle but doesn't fracture in the same way as resin does. Not sure why everyone says they're resin as it's not the case at all. If you think about it logically, it would have been seriously cost prohibitive to produce what is basically a premium figure in resin Not wishing to step on anyones toes here but, with that in mind, if you use the wrong glue on a Kaiyodo Dinotale figure (say the old style model kit glues us oldies used to use back in the day that melt the plastic parts together) it will melt! Best to use non reactive cyanocrylate glues (super glue) to be on the safe side A kaiyodo cladoselache of mine fractured like resin once NOT a fun repair job! Superglue is mostly what I use, for everything

Not too bad... I got Kaprosuchus right! Now I need to see Papo for my other guesses. I want Kaprosuchus, Gaunlong, Gorgonops, Carnotaurus, and Miragaia.

That doesn't look muscular; it looks fat In the documentary made by National Geographic about Dakota they show that the tail was much deeper than they had thought. In fact that was the very same picture they used in the documentary.

Dang! Why no Squalicorax? Those shark teeth follow me everytime I go fossil hunting. I'd like a model Squalicorax.

As the absence of the Carnotaurus stock photo suggests, Safari actually has a bit more up their sleeves for 2011. More than that I cannot say, though.

Probably because Squalicorax look like alot of today's sharks.

Prehistoric or non - if it's non I'm not interested. Now, do you mean CARNEGIE or safari? And I don't see why you can't say, we've seen the rest of them.

What he means is that there are hints that the preview is incomplete--but they have not said, at all, what the rest may be. Could be a fifth WS dino (that seems to be their norm), could be more birds, could be other sea animals. We'll know when we know.
