What prehistoric animals would you like made into figures?

Okay, since there was interest in this I'm organising polls where we can vote for the species we'd like companies to make!  Unless a majority thinks I should, I won't make this for any one specific company, instead it can be for all companies that make scientific figures of prehistoric animals.  This has never been done before and I'm interested in seeing what we come up with!  If this receives a good amount of votes, which should be easy, I'll link the relevant companies to the polls! :)

I'm going to make polls for the following groups: theropods, ornithischians, sauropodomorphs, pterosaurs, marine reptiles, mammals and other prehistoric animals.  Let me know if you feel you'd like a different combination if you feel it's realistic that any other category would get enough attention.

In this thread you can list up to five animals for each category that you'd like to be in the poll for that group.  I will leave this thread open for this purpose for a week.  After that I'll make the polls and no additional animals will be added to them.

So now, please post what you'd like companies to make! :)

Many thanks avatar_Sim @Sim for taking this great initiative ! 8)
Prior to submitting you my list, I have a further question : would it be possible to include species that are already produced by some figure makers but which we would like to be produced by other companies, for instance, a Quetzalcoatlus by PNSO ?

A dire wolf thats anything but a modern gray wolf on 'roids. Just a better and more modern interpretation of the species.

At this point, the lists show very different wishes...
May I ask you how you'll proceed for the "final selection" ie the lists that will be sent to the companies ?

Sim

avatar_Protopatch @CharlieNovember, I'll create polls with all the species people have listed which we can then vote on, and once there's a good number of votes I'll link companies to the polls.  And don't worry about Quetzalcoatlus, I'll put two options for its pose in the poll, one for it flying and the other for it on the ground.

Me? Cenozoic extinct mammals and pre-Jurassic invertebrates  8)

crazy8wizard

Heck, pre-cenozoic mammals and post-jurassic invertebrates would be cool too. There are only a small handful of mesozoic mammal figures out there despite some pretty cool and significant genera existing without figures.
