Dear friends, we are already in the last hours of our votation! I'm already counting with the help of Robert! So, if someone changes the original votation should do it editing the original post but saying to prevent any confusion! Thanks and good luck for your choices!

I changed mine - a little

Susanne, under gibbon you mean Siamang?

That's great Susanne! I think there are enough votes for the siamang!

We want him, we want him

What a pity, I'm too late. I would have liked to see a caracal. They are sooo beautiful.

Not too late Shardur! I wanted in first place a pardel lynx and I will not have it but with such nice species the winner will be a great figure!
I hope you have the chance of vote in the top 10 finalists poll, not the caracal but many other nice species, and there you have to small felines like serval and clouded leopard! Click here and vote...

Yes I know.
By the way, I have already voted - for the clouded leopard. I would vote for any cat. But I will eagerly await the winner anyway.
Maybe in the far distant future we will have a model for every (cat) species.

Thanks for your participation Shardur, if this iniciative is successful, probabily we would have more surprises and more rare species! But it depends also fof how interested is the collectors community! :)

I would say it's interested

Wow, glad I found this thread.

Hopefully I'm not too late, but these are my three choices:

dhole

douc langur

SABLE ANTELOPE!

Good to see a company trying to make it's bones by appealing to the collectors. Very smart strategy.

Thanks friend! But this part of the votation has already ended! Now you have the final poll here
https://sts-forum.forumieren.de/t1846-mojo-2012-collectors-figure-final-poll?vote=viewresult

It ends tuesday! Worry!

It would be cool to make similar survey once again - to find out a collector's choice for 2013.
As there are much more people at the Forum today, this survey would be more representative and even more interesting!

If Mojo is interested in it it will be done. But isn't it too early? :)
It was also nice if other brands had the same philosophy! I know you are very close of Safari, what about to choose a figure to the American brand, Kiril?

About too early:
1. Mojo has started similar survey at their FB page, an the results will be in December.
2. The more time we have - the more people would be able to vote. We should set an aim, say, to draw not less than 50% of our forum members to the poll - that's be cool, but we'll need about two-three months, I think.

As to Safari - that's another case. They are not startup company and their production plans should be more stiff. But I'll email Safari, why not?
Another problem - the name of our forum... Safari is present at Laughing Giraffe, they even quote it at their Facebook page (look here).
Maybe its time to continue this discussion about external representation of our community?

I'm sure in Safari people is open minded enough to do not care with the name of the forum.
Mojo Fun is also not Schleich and Numaan, is very close from CollectA and his user name is SchleichZoo. :)
Probably Mojo is giving some life to their FB and a choice of their fans do not compromise another choice from STS members, I guess.
And it is not possible a pole with 50% of members voting, not even if the choice was of a Schleich figure. The real life of a forum and FB page is not how many they have but how many are active.
And the sable is not a general collectors choice but a choice from STS members! Looks the same but it is not! :) I hope Safari listen to you and of course I will also try again with Mojo!

Holy sh...oe! I missed this topic

But now - express your opinion, Martin!
I believe that the forum's heading and welcome text should be changed!!!
My proposal instead of "Schleichtiersammler" heading:
STS Forum - International Community of Animal Replicas Collectors

The intro text needs to be changed too! I mean this: "Welcome in the forum. You will find here very much informations about animal replicas".
First, one should correct mistakes. Second, we should add some info - about figure exchanging reviews & collection photos, about our international community, maybe tell the number of countries from which our members are from.

Well I agree. Name of this forum should ´ve been different because it looks like Scheich is having monopol here Something like... WORLD´S BEST ANIMAL REPLICAS COLLECTORS
And also more informations about our members like their real first names... Sometimes I have problems remember their names because of nicknames And I feel bad when I´m PMing them

That's easy, let's tell people to write their names as a signature...

I will not write my name as a signature!

Well, you should, cause your name isn't Roger
