Looks like you can only vote for one or is it just the highest votes of the top three ?

Takama

I I notice that. But I don't know how to fix it to make it so you can select three.  Can you or some other admin help?

Fixed and reset.  I just wasn't sure if that was your intent before or not. :)

Is Sideshow really a figure ? That might be best for a models and statues poll ?

Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus

This thread was a good idea, Takama. I just hate that we can pick only 3- there were several good models this year!

tyrantqueen

I chose the Papo Dimetrodon and Carnotaurus, and the Favorite Ltd. Tyrannosaurus rex. Most of the Safaris I don't like, apart from the Elasmosaurus and Dimorphodon, which were okay but not show stoppers. In my opinion this was a weak year for CollectA, but hopefully next year will be much better. Carnegie was a disappointment. Mojo's mammals look good, but I don't like or care about prehistoric mammals so they didn't factor into my decision.

All in my opinion, of course.

sauroid

i chose the Papo Carnotaurus and Dimetrodon, and Favorite Spinosaurus

Maybe this thread should be just for 2013 releases in general.

Chad

A lot of good ones, but I went with Gryposaurus. I guess I'm a sucker for a good hadrosaur.

..... That's why my vote goes to the Favorite Saurolophus :D.

It's the only Favorite Softmodel that was released in 2013.
All the ones listed in the poll above were released in late 2012 ....... sorry :-[.


Gwangi

I voted for the Papo Carnotaurus, Dimetrodon and Mojo Hyenadon. If I could have voted for more the other Mojo figures would have received votes as well as the Safari Gryposaurus.

It's really a muddled situation..I mean there are still figures coming out even now and the year isn't over yet...like the WWD figures and the newer Wild Safaris.   I don't think the Favorites arrived  here in any quantity til this year though...the same problem the Saurolophus has in part, I agree it's the best figure of a hadrosaur released, but it doesn't have a wide market yet so many can't review it.  :/

That would be tough though..a lot in one thread.  I mean I think a poll that included the Shapeways pieces, model kits, ect.. could be good too.

I voted for the Carnegie concavenator because I have that one and the Papo dimetrodon and Favorite spinosaurus because they are the most eye-catching.

Having the figures really helps when it comes to choosing which is best.

Yes; I voted for the Papo Dimetrodon and Carno, as well as the Safari Gryposaurus. All three of these models were superb.

I believe they were intended to be 2013 figures, just like the Safari Suchomimus and Megalodon are intended to be 2014 figures (and there available now, in 2013).


I choose

Safari: Gryposaurus

CollectA: Diplodocus

Favorite: Soft Model Allosaurus

tanystropheus

I voted for the Papo Dimetrodon, Favorite Styracosaurus, and the Mojo Hyaenodon (I was really tempted to vote for the WS Dimorphodon, Papo Carnotaurus and pretty much all of the Mojo prehistoric mammals)

Are they (Favorite) planning on releasing the Saurolophus worldwide or was it meant for a limited release? I need a proper successor to my Tyco Saurolophus, lol.
