Yeah, that would be epic. Especially considering how accurate each one would be. I would buy every one of them. How do you like my Permian/Triassic non dino line?

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

I'm not too sure if even 200 species of dinosaurs have been made into figures! ;D Not counting birds, my very out-of-date version of my database lists 152 (some of which, I am guessing, are invalid or synonyms). This does not include any of the figures I have received in the last 8 months or so. Does anyone else have any suggestions? I would guess that, as this kind of thing is done with some frequently, many of us just won't bother. We know what we want to see, and know full well that almost none of them will ever happen (unless a company like Acheson steps up).

One more, if we count the incoming Anchiornis. There are probably some synonymies and splits in there, but I don' t necessarily keep up at all times with that. So I am guessing that it would be conceivable to get 200 genera of dinosaur represented (it might be even easier if we split to species, which I generally don't worry about for counts)

Someone did--AAA. But they don't make them anymore.

Unfortunately, both are now discontinued. Bullyland should release it again!

you know what i just noticed was not in the huge list o' mammals... equids i would love to see some prehistoric equids! i figure in the same way that they make Nanotyrannus and Albertosaurus figures which are basically the same as a Tyrannosaurus with some morphological differences. I mean a little kid isn't going to be "oh look a Nanotyrannus! you can tell because it is more gracile and in the number of teeth..." to a little kid anything that looks like a T-rex is T-rex (of course there are some baby genius children out there)... whoa this train of though got derailed! Anyways in the same vein that they can make figures for very similar dinosaur species I think they could do more equids... maybe a series? also! Equids are a lot (!) more morphologically different than the previously mention Nanotyrannus/T-Rex. ok / end rant /

Those looked a lot like equids, but they had rhinoceros-like feet. That would be an excellant choice for an equid-comparative animal to make.
