Only one vote per members      

The suspense will stop in 7 days, Tuesday 7 march

Have fun   

Marvelous figurines! May the best one win!

Thanks Christophe! 3 Papo, 3 CollectA and 1 Safari! No doubts Papo and CollectA rule these last years. They are the companies with more winners in categories with 7 and 10 respectively.
I am surprised that none of my favorites is in this final poll but these candidats are surely good too. Nilgai and Grevy's zebra were the two figures I enjoyed best this year despite the little problem of the zebra. Papo standing tiger won the Wildlife category and it is evident that this is a popular figure. Curiously, the only in my collection of the entire list.
I don't have it clear yet which is my favorite among these but I'll surely vote!

Can't wait to see who the lucky winner is!

All are wonderful models
Even if I would not have vothed on that particular horse, it is a lovely model

But of course my bid for Model-of-the-Year is the albatross

None of them was my favourite in the catogory pool, so I still don't really have a model that I would call my favourite here. Can't wait to see which one will win.

Is it just me, or are we liking dynamic animals more then before?
A running moose, a dino-croc on high legs, a jumping tiger, a flapping albatros...

And I find it so hard to choose a number 1.

And a huffing-and-puffing turkey

My favourite is the nilgai of CollectA.

But The most important thing is that there are many

beautiful animals every day of different brands.

... I think 52 votes out of more than 2000 participants is not enough... What do you think, Kiki? Or this game is all happy?

I love them all :-)

Hi everyone. For me it's a toss up between the strutting turkey and the tiger. The colors are wonderful! It will be fun to see who the group has chosen for First Place.

The albatross need more votes!

... I offer my condolences to Kiki! Again, the tiger, again banality! Grevy's Zebra, antelope Hirola, excellent wandering albatross and many others was left behind... But what to do, my friend? Model tiger Papo really unusual, interesting and dynamic! But we do choose NOT SPECIES, but MODEL!

Yes maybe in 2018 we will choose an elephant riding a Flamingo

Hi, SUE !!!!!

I love all of them! But the Albatross is the only one I have, the others I can only judge from photos, so the birdie gets my vote. ( but thanks for the tips, now I have ordered several of the others, too!)

Every year some of the best figures never even get voted into the final .. and tiny gems like the Rhino calf from Mojo have lil chance , neither any feathered friends can win ...

You will not regret. I have some of them - the turkey, the kaprosuchus, the dog, the tiger and the albatros. Beautiful models all of them.

The photos shown on the forum have often made me order new models - "must have's".

I think that tiger is a really superb model! Incredible quality, fantastic original and dynamic pose, amazing realism and face expression. Painting is also very good for a factory paintwork. I'm happy to see it won!

Congrats to Papo! Another lovely big cat model

Congratulations to the winner! Really great choice. It seemed like there were almost too many good ones this year, particularly in the prehistoric category.

Papo is the first brand winning the contest two times! It was before with another wild cat, the snow leopard.
I agree with Sergey, we choose models not species or a tiger would never enter the contest.
I have it and it is an exciting figure, my favorite was the nilgai but this figure has a tremendous pose, something that we don't see in most of other figures. Seeing Sue posting here, is also for me a much bigger joy than if it was a poll of 1000 votes instead.
Who will win next year, CollectA's bongo? Papo ocelot, Safari feathered T-rex? CollectA saiga? Schleich sloth bear? CollectA Lion? Mojö Shire? ... one of the Southlands replicas? I am missing a lot, there are again a lot of excellent candidats.
