Thanks Kostas! Now everything is fine!

Voted

Hmmm.... What to choose....  Bush Baby - a rare type of model, or a cat in an amazing pose, or the majestic Megaloceros......  
Ok. The winner is: ........ Megaloceros! Just because it has arrived today and it is a really amazing model in real

All are outstanding models, but fortunately my choice is easy

The moment I saw them the first time, I will remember for ever . I almost could not breathe
And when I got them in my hand and could see them in real, I almost got tears in my eyes

So  : The beautyful, lovable, fantastic, charming, perfect Kitan Club cat is my choice

Oh Susanne, are those cats that beautiful?
I have seen many pictures of them, and as a cat lover my whole being would love to add these to the collection!
Maybe one day!

For me it must be the Mecaloceros. I got it in the mail from Modellpferdeversand two days ago, and holding it in my hand it looks absolutely amazing

Certainly the most spectacular of the batch but certainly not my fav

They may look better if you try to turn the pictures upside down

Good luck Papo Great Pyrenees!

Seems the deer is very strong

I love that hornet, it's got my vote!

It could be my choice too, or the Bushbaby, or the Kaiyodo cat, they were the only ones I voted for... Poor Kiki

Me too! But an arthropod will never win on this forum. Most people prefer furry and feathered friends!

An arthropod is on the final poll, it is not so bad

And you are a great ambassador of the arthropod lovers so because of you I'm less furry and feathered now

Same for me! However I also love the Papo dog. But Kitan cats are just purr-fect.

Substitute "dog/cattle/horse collectors" as appropriate

I think nobody is wrong, even "non dog/cattle/horse collectors".

Papo - Great Pyrenees is my favorite but the others are very nice too! Hard decision!

I agree, I'm using that meme to make fun of myself and Blaine :)

What about a furry arthropod?



But I'm really surprised that, even for non-insect-lovers, that the undoubtely best animal figure of the whole history of toys, have so few votes! I could expect to be regarded to second or third place due to mammalian preferences of collectors, but not to 7th place of 9 figures

I have a completely different perception from you. In a forum, used with the traditional concept from major brands, to see a figure like this hornet in a final poll, shows how openminded is this community. Figures of this price level and concept are often not even included. For Prehistorics, dinosaurs of this price level got out of competition. How can we compare a model of this price range with a much cheaper figure as it is the Papo squirrel? Besides of it, we have mammals, a bird, a mollusc and an insect and not a single reptile. Does it means that crocodiles and things like these are not appreciated on forum? We even risk to see a prehistoric figure being awarded in a forum where this subject does not have a special focus.

I agree with Roger, I even think that the Hornet can hardly be considered as "toy", but I'm happy to see it here anyway.
