Zebra finch, I would suggest some other mutation(not the wild color),.....

Then there are suggested two kinds of Zebra Finch, - the wild one and the cage bird

But all colors came from the wild color, it is natural mutation, not a mix with other specie

I'll count all of them as votes to zebra finch., so, if nobody changes it, it has 4 votes until now. The same for generic choices, as all of these in Varanus, it will go to the most voted Varanus species as it is happening with the Perentie. More votes please and thanks to all that voted already.

You mean Suggestions, - or have we begun to vote ?

That's what I was trying to figure out--are suggestions counted as votes?

Now we are just suggesting, I should use this word instead of voting. In this stage, we will determine which animals have more suggestions.
Those more suggested, will later enter in a poll, in another topic, starting from zero. That poll will determine the winner and that animal will be released by Science and Nature. Obviously, Science and Nature may take some of the ideas here presented to some of future releases or not. I recall that when in 2011 we did something similar with Mojö Fun, the company ended releasing half of the figures that entered the top 10: giant sable, gaur, clouded leopard, honey badger and sunbear.

The only preference that was mentioned is that it should be an animal of Australia. I don't know if it has to be native or not so your suggestion for a water buffalo will be considered. :)
Interesting, 3 of the top 5 until now are birds! :)

1.Bilby (Macrotis lagotis)

Coming to europe this year-to germany! The first one outside of australia since 1902!

2.Numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus)

3.Lumholtz Tree Kangaroo (Dendrolagus lumholtzi)

Thanks bongo but Science and Nature already released a bilby and a numbat. You can see both here! Feel free to edit your post or just give different suggestions.

My choices are: Zebra Finch
Brumby
Kiwi

One suggestion:
Velvet worm, Onychophoran, (Euperipatoides rowelli)

1. Lyre bird, definetely a lyre bird[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
2. A velvet worm should be wonderful [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
3. Last but not least, a paradise bird! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Comb-crested jacana

But we could choose so many great species and I absolutely agree with all your lists

... I,m agree with Kiki!

Jacana and Zebra finch are both good choices, very underrepresented.

But I have to say that a zebra mantis shrimp would be my first choice.

That's nice! I don't own any S&N figurines, but I like that they are open for our suggestions. But do I understand it right, we can choose Australian AND New Guinean species? If so my list would be:

A Tree kangaroo, I know that Southlands will release one very soon but I want an other species, my favourite would be a Hunon:

Any of the Long-beaked echidna species:

And an Black-necked stork:

And if we just can choose Australian species:

A Lemuroid ringtail possum:

And a lyrebird

Julodimorpha bakewelli (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julodimorpha_bakewelli).

This beetle's mating behavior forced a beer company to change the shape of its bottles! :)

1.- Perentie
2.-Tiger quoll
3.-Ghost bat

I would like, have in my hands many PVC figures

Similar to these pictures.

Thanks for this information .

Well, I would like a Bornean banteng (Bos javanicus lowi), a giant toad (Rhinella marina) and a powerful boobook owl (Ninox strenua). Hope the Bornean banteng and the other two animals could be released this year!

Here are some photos:

Powerful boobook owl

I want those animals for Science and Nature figures, please...

Don't worry, the Bornean banteng was introduced to Australia, like the cane toad, and the boobook owl is endemic. Don't worry.

1. Victorian crowned pigeon, 2. Greater bird of paradise, 3. Grey-headed flying fox.

My choices are Spotted Quoll, the dugong, and the Bird of Paradise.
