So many ties this year! 2023 was an amazing year for us collectors. I will have to think hard about which figure I will choose

Many nice figures for 2023. No figure of my personally favourites but i voted

Very hard decision. But I voted for Papo Panda because of Its posture and Bamboo

this was a harder choice than most years but I settled on the CollectA goblin shark.

Well, for what it's worth, I'm sticking with the Jersey cow. It may be a domesticated animal, less exciting than the exotic species, but the model itself is a superb representation, very true to life.

..me too, even if I don't collect domestic animals.

Very difficult! So many beauties!!

Go Panda, Go Panda, GO GO GO

I voted for the elephant but it seems the Panda is stronger than us

The Jersey cow was the one I was also deciding on.

This Panda looks like Kong Fu Panda
So it will be the champion

I think the Stegodon still have chances. The difference is not so big and people can change their vote until the last minute.
I really don't know what's about this panda. In a community like STS it is not expectable to see such a common species winning even if it is a good model. Well, I thought the Papo standing tiger was an exception due to its unusual pose. Also, the 4 last known winners are all from Papo. I'm even considering to change the name of the forum to PTS-Forum.

I am surprised too. I even voted for an extinct animal to try to make the panda lose . Perhaps all Papo employees have to become STS members to vote for their company .

That's what I like with the STS figure of the year, we know what our forum is thinking and what we really are. I'm often surprised

The last comments for destroying Papo panda, ruined its position in the first place ‍�‍�

Don't be alarmed, it's nothing to do with that. When the comment was made, Stegodon was just one vote away from tying with the panda. Since then there have been four additional votes, two of which went to Stegodon. No one has voted against the panda.
It's often like that, last year it was a horse that was in first place, only to be overtaken by a bird in the last few days.
That's life, and nothing's decided yet.

It needs only 2 who voted for the Stegodon or any of the other animals to realise their mistake
No just kidding, I love a bit of competition. It shows why we all are so passionate about our animals, our figures and our collections.

Is it the year of the ties? The panda also started very strong in the previous category stage and it ended in a tie with the aardvark. It shows the panda voters are fast and faithful.

I'm also quite surprised that the Panda is so popular. I have Schleich's "Bamboo - Panda" and I like him much more than this one. Not that I think it's a bad figure, it sure isn't but it doesn't seem like something overly special to me. My vote stays with my feline friend. Let's see who will win this year.

That was exactly my thinking! Although I voted for the stegodon

What happens if its a tie? Has that ever happened before?

IMHO we will have two champions, that’s all

Someone Voted for Stegodon in the last second to make it champion. It reminds me defraud in elections
It's just joking, don't be serious. Congratulations to its fans

No, only one champion: The TNG Stegodon.

It was my vote, which brings the victory. I wait until the last hour with it.
Great, that this ugly panda doesn't win.
