Animals that you want a figure of.

With how vast and diverse the animal kingdom is, there are bound to be animals from the past and present that don't have a figure representation. So, are there any animal that you want a figure of?

For me, the Leedsichthys, as I didn't find any figures of it while searching. The Colossal Squid is another.

Ha! Do you have a minute or ten? XD
All the big/small cats, breeds, wild or tame. More cetaceans, pinnipeds. More antelopes, big and small.
Local birds (Netherlands) like herons, coots, ducks, garden birds, magpies, etc!
More wild canines, more Border Collies and my al time most wanted animal, by darn CollectA make a BONGO!!!! XD

Yes !!!

Happy Kin Toys released a colossal squid, maybe not a masterpiece. The Leedsichthys, is more problematicus, I only known homemade figures.
By the way, I think there's already a similar topic, so if I find it, I'll merge them.

And Safari has a beautyful, very large Giant Squid in their Monterey Bay series : [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

How about a Pygmy Right Whale? No toy has been made representing it...

I don't think the short-faced bear has a figure, does it? If not, I hope someone makes one.

Dhole!

Most of the figures I would like to see are arthropods and obscure dinosaur species. In fact, I have a special interest in obscure species, be them prehistoric or not!

Wouldn't be a Casea figure great?

Giant squid are different from Colossal squid--Kaiyodo just released one with a deep-sea series, and there is a weird one from Chap-Mei.

And the only Leedsichthys I am aware of was from FaunaCasts (through the Dino Toy Forum) but I don't think any have been delivered yet...I know mine hasn't. 3 years and counting...

Is made by the african brand Marlow steers collection :)

Do barracuda figures (like my namesake) exist? I've seen one I think might be from Kaiyodo but I wish the major US companies would tackle a few.

I'm also interested in rare breeds of dogs, particularly sighthounds and herding breeds.

Of course, my favorites are still Dobermans and I'd love to see someone make some blue, fawn, red, or female versions of this breed with cropped or natural ears.

I would also love a 1:40 scale helicoprion, brachiosaurus altithorax (the Carnegie one is good, but not quite large enough), and a titanosaur like the one in the NY museum.

Very nice! Thank you for showing me this. The K&M barracuda is the one I was thinking of. I really like the Marx one. That would be a fun figure to custom paint.

Has there been a Gerenuk?

Gerenuk is one of my biggest hopes with CollectA at this moment together with a saiga antelope. I know some Chinese hollow figures that look somewhat like gerenuks, they look like knock offs of the Imperial antelope whose picture you can see below from Fernando's picture. I don't know the exact species but it won't shock me if it is a gerenuk.

Not very detailed but it could be possible :)

Yes Andreas, Imperial is not definitvely CollectA! However, if it is a gerenuk, they deserve all praises for doing something so unusual.

and I just want mules, zorses and zonkeys . . .

Oh yes, a good mule would be great!

Oh my, I just looove that long, thin silhouette of Gerenuk!
