Animals that you want a figure of.

I'm still collecting Ice Age North American animals, so I'm dying for a stage moose (Cervalces sp.), giant beaver (Castoroides sp.), Columbian mammoth, and short-faced bear (Arctodus sp.). I'd say a mastodon, but it looks like Safari is making one, so yay! I wouldn't mind some of the different types of giant sloth (Jefferson's, Harlan's, Shasta) instead of always getting just a generic one.

OK, let's recapitulate from what I have said earlier:

1- PYGMY RIGHT WHALE. A must!!!
2- COTYLORHYNCUS. Or a Casea. Caseids have never been represented. Though, those prehistoric reptiles have such an interesting looks.
3- YANGTZE RIVER DOLPHIN. Extinct since 2006. We need Something to remember it.
4- GREAT AUK. Extinct since 1844.
5- BRYDE'S WHALE. No comment.
6- SEI WHALE. No comment.
7- TARASQUE. Mythology. Six-legged french dragon with a tortoise shell and humanoid face.
8- LINDWORM. Mythology. English fire-breathing dragon with two legs and no wings.
9- GUIVRE. Heraldric. French dragon which consists in a giant serpent; no wings, no legs.
10- FENG_HUANG. Mythology. Chinese Phenix with peacock feathers on tail and colorful plumage.

True, but it's also the only company who has one!

I'd love a new Clouded Leopard.

Why? Aren't those on the market good?

Well, as far as I know, there is only the Mojo one being made these days, and it is almost impossible to find

I would VERY much want a Fossa

There are many Australian birds and animals I'd love to see, but I'd really love Collecta to give their Maned Wolf a young pup or two? I know they live alone most of the time, but a Mother with youngsters would be fantastic!

A Smilodon Fatalis, because 98% of the ones already made are VERY inaccurate, so its the same as not having a figure at all

I wish almost any European bird, especially some tit (European crested tit and Long-tailed tit are my faves) or other small forest bird made by Schleich, Papo or CollectA. Not flamingos, bald eagles, peacocks or penguins anymore, please! We need more diversity.

Rhizodonts
Ptyctodonts
Pycnodonts
Iniopterygians
Mesozoic actinopterygians
And while I'm dreaming, some conodonts

I am a huge fan of collecta's antelope's and I would love more.

The one's I'd like best would be
> Gerenuk
> Steppe Nyala
> Dik-Dik
> Steenbok
> Lechwe

I'd gladly prefer young/juveniles

Great lists!  There's quite a lot here I would like to see made as well.  Here are some of my additions.

Great Barracuda
Australian Kelpie
Pharaoh Hound
Uncropped blue or fawn doberman
Some non-Smilodon sabertooth cats such as Machairodus or Homotherium (although an updated Smilodon would be very nice as well)
A Dzungariotherium, or upgraded Paraceratherium

In general, I would also like to see more of a focus on these points from companies.

More consistent scales.  Not everything has to be the same scale regardless of species, but I like it when animals of a particular group look well displayed together.  

More originality in terms of design and species choice.

More accuracy.  However, it seems that many companies have listened and we are getting more accurate figures every year.  Hopefully, this positive trend will continue.

I would definitely second this!

I would like to see an accurate hyena figure with good paintjob.
