I also now remember asking for a giant sauropod for WS, as well as a Wildlife Wonders Camel, in a suggestion letter. Whoever read it (I forget now) said that 'I have some good ideas for 2012' I think the sauropod was mamenchisaurus, but I don't know for sure. I think it would be really cool to se a 1:30 breviparopus, though.

Yeah, either Carnegie or Papo would make a helluva good Diablo. But, Chasmosaurus has been a known dino like forever now and it's amazing none of the top toy figure companies currently has a 1:40 scale or so museum quality figure out there. (I say 'museum quality' because CollectA has a standard size figure, but he's ... well.... he's cute. Yeah, I'll give him that. He's cute! LOL!) BTW, of the major dino figure companies, past or present, I can't think of a museum quality type Chasmo that's ever been out there. Not Battat or Invicta. And none of the currant companies either, right? -- Carnegie, Bullyland, Schleich, Papo, WS, none of these ever had one as far as I can think. The Royal Ontario Museum has/had one, but he's not what I'd consider a deluxe museum figure. And I think they're extinct now, right? Galileo has a nice affordable 1/35 Chasmo : www.geenemodels.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=59_61&product_id=70 ..and he'll build and paint it for you. ;D I also now remember asking for a giant sauropod for WS, as well as a Wildlife Wonders Camel, in a suggestion letter. Whoever read it (I forget now) said that 'I have some good ideas for 2012' I think the sauropod was mamenchisaurus, but I don't know for sure. I think it would be really cool to se a 1:30 breviparopus, though. You know..that's the same response I got when I sent them my suggestions. They said I would really impressed with 2012 as well... lol |

Ok here we go the Brach is 1/40th scale(not sure if exact) overall about the same length as dippy. Also to the tip of his head its about a foot tall. The paint scheme is great! The base color is a light green, covered by darker green splotches with red flowing on the length of the spine. ENJOY ;D

The new Carnegie Brachio sounds great, and I'm glad it's going to be in 1:40. Here are my predictions/hopes: 2 Carnegies: New Brachio and a pterosaur, I'm thinking either Darwinopterus or Ornithocheirus. 5 Safaris: Therizinosaurus, Falcatus (ancient shark), Shunosaurus, and two landscape things. I'm guessing some ancient coral and a pine tree of some sort. 2 Safari "Toobs": Pterosaurs & "Ancient" Reptiles (Estemmenosuchus, Edaphosaurus, etc) A dozen or so Collectas, hopefully including Masiakasaurus and some new pterosaurs and marine reptiles. No Schleichs.  2 Bullylands: A marine reptile and a pterosaur. No clue for Mojo, maybe a Pachycephalosaurus.  |

Can we even confidently predict what CollectA might do anymore? Who'd have predicted Lourihanosaurus, honestly?
In that case, I will do wishful thinking instead. Since they seem to be on a roll with Australian genera (we've had two in a row, with Minmi in 2010 and Australovenator in 2011), I'd like to see Leallynasaura. Maybe then will a replica be made that has an appropriately long tail.
Mojo will probably just make more CollectA ripoff figures.

And AFAIK, Mojo's plan is to keep the collection small, so they will likely not release anything. |

My wishes CArnegie: Brachio and a theropod someone said, so I hope a Ceratosaurus or Angaturama, maybe a Concavenator. Wild SAfari: Protoceratops, Therinosaurus, Argentinosaurus, Staurikosaurus and a 1:1 Nemicolopterus. Safari Prehistoric landscaspes: tar pit, Equisetum (horsetail) and prehistoric swamp with some dead trees (wishful thinking, I know) Safari Toobs: Pterosaurs and primitive reptiles... Papo: Brachiosaurus, Tuojiangosaurus and Entelodont Bullyland: I wish they did some more mammals Schleich: who knows Procon: Oxalaia, Staurikosaurus, Argentinosaurus, Giganotosaurus, Santanaraptor, Embolotherium, Megatherium, Gallimimus, Tarchia, Dsungaripterus, Ludodactylus; Nothosaurus, Kosmoceratops, Stygimolock, Shonisaurus and Koolasuchus. Mojo: |

It's not Giga (Bully made it) because carnegie already has one. Papo made Oviraptor and Velociraptor repaint. Carnegie has 2 Ovi, so we could guess it may be a new Velociraptor (feathered?) or Deinonychus. Schleich also did a Giga, so that is out of possibility. From procon we have a lot of possibilities. Afrovenator, Eotyrannus, Herrerasaurus, Majungatholus, Rugops (that would be cool). I think the ones with more chance to be the 2012 Carnegie's chosen are the Procon ones, specially Rugops and Herrerasaurus. Am I forgetting something? |

Based on the theropods released last year, it would be something that CollectA did. I mean look at the list. Rugops would be a good one ;D |

Well Velociraptor and Oviraptor are out due to wording..they were released by both Papo and Procon...not one company.
I nice feathered Velocirpator would have been sweet though.
I have to agree with it might being a Rugops or Majungasaurus ..the only thing wrong with it as a guess is that they did just release an albelisaur in the form of Carnotaurus.
Afrovenator and Eotyrannus would both be great...and def would be better versions by Safari / Carnegie .

My wishes; Carnegie; Herrerasaurus, new Allosaurus and ofcourse the new Brachio Wild Safari; Sphenacodon, Pterodaustro and Coelophysis Toobs; Pterosaur toob (MUst) prehistoric reptiles toob or mammal-like reptiles and Prehistoric amphibian toob (Eryops, Ichthyostega, Seymouria etc.) Bullyland; A pliosaur maybe? Or a mosasaur? Scheich; Err.. nothing Collecta; Dimetrodon, Acrocanthosaurus, Quetzalcoatlus, Dolychorhynchops... a too long list I think (and hope) Papo; Dimetrodon, Quetzalcoatlus, Lycaenops |

Hi, new here.
I wouldn't presume to guess what any company's thinking, so I'll just keep marketability in mind with my wishlist.
Papo:
Ceratosaurus- they didn't have a theropod this year, so it's highly probable they'll add one in 2012. Ceratosaurus is popular, currently underrepresented, and fits Papo's style perfectly. I would prefer they use their own design over JP3's though.
Shunosaurus- I worry about Papo going outside their comfort zone (a la their Plesiosaur) but if they're going to do a sauropod, Shunosaurus probably suits them best.
Dracorex- There are few dinos more marketable that Dracorex. I'm surprised that CollctA's the only one that's bothered so far. Just no weird sails like in Primeval, please.
Kentrosaurus- Wild Safari's is nice, but kind of tiny. It'd like to see Papo take a stab. No pun intended.
Carnegie
Any Ceratopsian Besides Triceratops and Styracosaurus- They only have Triceratops now, right? Against how many theropods and sauropods? It's not like they're hard-to-sell animals, full of pointy bits the young ones can stage battles with. And there have been so many amazing recent discoveries. Not just Diabloceratops, but Kosmoceratops, Medusaceratops, and Mojoceratops just off the top of my head. Any of them would be slam dunks!
Lambeosaurus- I love hadrosaurs, with their Corythosaurus gone, there's a gap in their line-up and Lambi makes a good fit.
Mamenchisaurus- Carnegie's always been great when it comes to large-scale sauropods and I'd love them to give my favorite a run. Obviously won't happen now with the Brach on the way, but it's still a great idea for another day.
Acrocanthosaurus- I know they just retired their old one, but let's face it, it was do for a remodel. I say give her one!
Wild Safari
Troodon- It's amazing none of the other companies have produced one yet. The only mainstream Troodon I can think of is the old Invicta Stenonychosaurus. That's amazing considering what a household name its become, what from Dinosaur Planet, March of the Dinosaurs, and the upcoming Revolution to say nothing of a staring role in Dinosaur Train. There are sales to be had here.
Chasmosaur- Left her out of my list of ceratopsians above to give her a special slot. I agree, too well-known not to have anything but a CollectA and a surprisingly good but long retired Jurassic Park figure.
Zhejiangopterus- There still isn't a really good azhdarchid on the market, and besides being cool in an of itself, we already have a mostly complete skeleton of Zhejiang, so it won't be out-of-date in a hurry like larger, more fragmentary azhdarchids.
Tiktaalik- Wild Safari takes more chances with non-dinos, and while they may worry about selling a fish, I really think tiktaalik will sell. It's an iconic fossil among adult collectors, and a vital illustration of evolution for young ones. If they can make a coelacanth, they can make a tiktaalik.
And while it's unlikely to happen, I'd also love for someone to make a Drepanosaurus, some kind of Eurypterid, and an Anatosuchus, but I know those are all more uphill battles.

My Guess on the Carnegi Theropod is that it could be a new Dilophosaurus.
it was remade by Bullyland last year.
I could be wrong
all i know of the theropod, is that its an Exotic species.
