your favorite figures

Sorry if there is already a topic like this, if so feel free to remove or redirect me.

I'd like to see people's top 3 favorite figures from their collections and hear why!

Mine would be the Toy Major Doberman first and foremost, specifically, the one seen here [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] . This was one of my first dogs, he's my favorite breed, and the sculpting is really well done (the paintwork not so much, but I can forgive him for that).

The second would be the 2016 CollectA Spinosaurus. It's one of my favorite prehistoric creatures and I love the short-legged, aquatic reconstruction. It makes him look so different from any other species of dinosaur.

My final favorite would be the Schleich running shire stallion simply because once I saw him, I had to have him in my collection. He has such a dynamic looking pose and he's so large and impressive. I also like the Schleich Knabbstrupper stallion and mare (the older one), but the shire was able to get my attention right away.

It is VERY hard to pick favourites

But a couple of weeks ago I got some miniature composition models from Tipple-Toppel /Elastolin.
I love them very much , so they are the ones I look most at right now . A Schleich horse shows the size :

Well, if I beging to think and look around, I see many gifts that I love also, - and the  new Collecta zebra and....

Xanthe,
This is a very difficult question indeed, and as Susanne says, at some point you might like some models more than others.
I don't have a lot of pictures of my own collection to share the ones I like most (right now), but I can show one of my undisputed all-time favorites - the Breyer Cougar. Pose, expression, feel of the model in my hand and the emotion I get when I look at them - this is why I put these two beauties on top of my list.

I love my two Breyer felines soooo much    that few years later I still cannot give away any of them to a very dear friend from this forum, who also likes them a lot and mentions them from time to time

Well, having a look around I cannot miss to mention another favorite- the good old (and fabulous) Schleich Musk Ox:

They are lovely indeed, Teardrops

Of course you can't separate the pair of them, - we must try to get another one for our dear friend

Honestly, I am considering it but as a typical egoist I prefer to look around for another one for him. And, I think it is time now to search more thoroughly for some New Year's presents :)

Susanne, these vintage mini models are just wonderfully charming
I completely understand you, why they are on focus now for you :)

Oh Masha, these two Breyer cougars ..
I know this ``friend from the forum`` you are talking about .. and I`m shure, that he will never let you, give away any of these great models to him
Like Susanne said, they have to stay as a pair ..and they look just perfect together
