I hope to use this poll, and others like it, to gauge what types of creatures folks would like to see made for my (hopefully one day available) Mirificus Studios line of figures.  Keep in mind larger species will be made at 1:40 scale, and those smaller than 6 meters/20 feet in life will likely be made at larger scales (1:20, 1:6, 1:2, etc.).  If you want a species not listed here, please write your suggestion in the comments.

Have fun voting!  :D

Excellent choice!  How could I've forgotten about the king of eagles?!  I've added it to the poll.

And good to see you back, TQ.  :)

My write-in was Vegavis. With quacking action!
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Another good choice!  I'm afraid though you'll just have to imagine the quacking.  :))
