Which dinos would you like to see Papo take on?

[gfxtwin]

In 2011? I'd go for a smaller species of sauropod, like maybe Agustinia (but please don't give it the plesiosaur treatment).

Or how bout a Quetzalcoatlus?

I'd also like to see the following:

1. Carnotaurus (not likely given carnegie's catalog next year)
2. Anklyosaurus - this dinosaur's skin would go amazingly well with Papo's sculpting methods. Hopefully they pick the up-to-date version of the creature, but not likely.
3. A NON-JURASSIC PARK-INSPIRED Dilophosaurus.

These are some nice suggestions. However, I wouldn't mind skipping out on an Ankylosaurus, since Schleich's newest Saichania model already looks more or less on par with Papo.

[tanystropheus]

In no specific order:

1) Carnotaurus
2) Ceratosaurus
3) Giganotosaurus
4) Diabloceratops
5) Mosasaurus
6) Mamenchisaurus
7) Edmontonia
8) Gallimimus
9) Chasmosaurus
10) Styracosaurus
11) Kentrosaurus
12) Leptoceratops
13) Amargasaurus
14) Edaphosaurus

[Megaraptor]

JP-Themed:
1) Mamenchisaurus
2) Carnotaurus/Ceratosaurus/Dilophosaurus
3) Brachiosaurus
4) Gallimimus
5) Ankylosaurus

Non-JP-Themed:
1) Kosmoceratops
2) Charonosaurus (pretty much a Russian Parasaurolophus, so not likely)
3) Dimetrodon
4) Psittacosaurus
5) Styracosaurus
6) Tylosaurus
7) Quetzalcoatlus
8) Ankylosaurus
9) Rubeosaurus/Brachyceratops (Brachyceratops is only if it is established before Papo chooses it's figs whether or no Rubeosaurus is the adult form of Brachyceratops)
10) Diabloceratops

All choices are in order from greatest to least preference.

[DinoLord]

It would be wonderful if they did the JP Ankylo and Brachio. And redid the kangaroo Rex.

[roselaar]

Any and all dinosaur or prehistoric creature would be welcome.

[dyscrasia]

A sauropod

And possibly a feathered Deinonychosaur

Btw, the papo dinosaur sculptor is from our country who is currently residing in France....

[thelordsgym]

Definitely a Carnotaurus or even an Acrocanthosaurus...... ;D

[ikessauro]

With no doubt, the MUST do a sauropod, an ankylosaurid and some some of ornithomimid. Some kind of Hadrosaur would be awesome, maybe a Corythosaurus? O a more obscure one, like Shantungosaurus.

Of course i want a crested theropod, no matter wich one. And definitely they mustn't do a feathered theropod. I know that it is the correct to do if we want accuracy, but the scaly skin on Papo dinos is what makes them so popular, it's a style that make us remember Papo as soon as we see the figure.

[Himmapaan]

I am certain that if they did a feathered dinosaur, it would be just as excellent in quality as the scaled ones. I would certainly welcome it.

Well spoken sir....no offense to others on here but I hate feathered dinosaurs and always welcome scaley dinosaurs by papo, no matter which ones they make....

[sumo]

Everyone's already mentioned my top 3 wishes, but I thought of one more: How about a correctly quadrupedal hadrosaur in an action pose? How cool would that look in a diorama?

My famous Sumo-sense, however, says Therezinosaurus. And because my predictions are never ever right, I now feel I've averted that particular scaly trainwreck. Thank me, everyone! ;D

All theropods were feathered? I thought it was mostly the smaller ones, like Raptors, or baby Therapods. A full-grown T-Rex didn't have any feathers, did it?

[gfxtwin]

Also, after seeing the Baryonyx thread, it looks like there's a pretty large hole in the toy market for a good figure of that dino. Papo needs to try making one as accurate as possible, but also, in true form, as cool-looking as possible.

Something along the lines of what they did with their Allosaurus would be nice. It was fairly accurate (unless you just nitpick it to death) and looked badass. The Pachyrhinosaurus I think would have been totally accurate if not for a possible engineering problem that the sculptor encountered with the horns. I can't see any other reason why he'd go out of his way to put antlers on the thing when every other widely available picture shows that the horns are part of the crest.

[Horridus]

Feathers are currently only known from coelurosaurs, with advanced 'true' feathers only found on maniraptorans (eg. oviraptorosaurs, dromaeosaurs, birds). Unless you count Concavenator. Not everyone does.

I'd love to see a feathered dinosaur from Papo - I'm sure it'd look just as convincing as the scaley ones. Plus the Oviraptor was a bit of a horrorshow... Otherwise, a large carcharodontosaur figure would be very nice (I'm into them at the moment).

If they make a Baryonyx, they had better correct the mistakes they made on the Spinosaurus...

[Horridus]

Well, they weren't mistakes as such - they just created an unofficial JP toy rather than try and give us a restoration of the real animal. And hey, they did it well...

Hey

I didn't say that all theropods were feathered! I didn't make it very clear because I tought you guys would understand that I was talking about the ones which had feathers. I do know that they wouldn't make a Giganotosaurus with feathers or a T.rex. I just mean that, if they take on some dino like Troodon, Deinonychus or even a Therizinosaurid, I would prefer it scaly than feathered, no matter if it's accurate or not.

[gfxtwin]

Oh, my bad. I see what you mean. But just to clear things up (and this question is directed towards anyone): Raptors were definitely feathered, were they not?

[Horridus]

Most definitely.
