I'm a little bit disappointed by the new wildlife figure of this year, I was expecting the Mojo Fun pangolin, THIS is an original figure However, I have the snow leopard and I understand why it is the winner of this cathegory

I voted for the CollectA springbock for the same kind of reasons, but it seems Florian is Florian, Kikimalou is Kikimalou and STS is STS

Nevertheless, I think that all the ten finalists are really great models and some non finalist too

Also, even if Papo Snow leopard is the number one by far, Papo have only one model in the top ten, Mojo two and CollectA seven. IMHO a true summary of 2014 wildlife production

Not only because it was my personal project but also because it is my favorite figure, I voted in Mojo pangolin, though, I am very happy with its performance, pangolins are not the most impressive and popular creatures and to be on top5 in one of the best years in this hobby is a very meritory result!
I haven't listed Papo snow leopard in my top10 because I don't consider one of the 10 best figures for me, though, I find it a spectacular and very attractive one. That's one of the interests of these polls, to know what is the general taste. I am not surprised with the result, it was actually expectable. Besides the pangolin, my favorite was mountain niala that won 2nd place. When we don't see Kiki macaque or both Papo and Mojo lions, it shows how good and competitive was this year. I was also expecting that Schleich flying fox could be the flag of Schleich for 2014 but it also haven't found a place on top10.
Christophe, who won the lions battle?

Mojo lion ( 9 ) Versus Papo lion ( 8 )   A consolation prize

Thank you for these statistics,
I am embarrassed for me, behold wildlife collector I still do not have in my possession of top 1 of this survey!
Of course, the snow leopard seduced me, but I find it something of bizzar, in his eyes I think!
Also I have never had in my hands to apreciate its contours!
about statistics, I have the rest of the top ten. happy
As for the winner in 2013 the top Indian gaur Mojo; iI still not returned to my collection!

Oh I didn't expectet that, for me it was one of the biggest disappointments this year together with the sun bear. 
I voted for the wild buffalo, because I was in love when I've seen him the first time. Also the pangolin was one of the best, and I was sure it will win, but he wasn't my favourite because of his size. 
Anyway congratulation to the snow leopard.  And thanks for this hard work, dear admins!

Thanks Kiki! That's a fair result, they seem to be of a similar quality. More exciting and detailed the Papo but more accurate and balanced the Mojo. We have a new King!

So, ladies and gentlemen, trumpets and drums

The STS 2014 Wildlife Figure is the PAPO Snow leopard          

I`m happy :)
I think that this model deserves to be a winner of wildlife 2014..and not only..

I think these are all dream figures in one way or another. For this poll I joined the Pangolin Appreciation Society but they are all worthy candidates and I am glad I don't have to make such a choice again.

There was something about the snow leopard's face or eyes for me, too.  But this was also the case with the puma in some pictures and I really like it in person, so I expect something similar with this leopard.

Actually, I bought the snow leopard of the pic because of his eyes In the shop, this one had the most amazing look
