Top 10 Prehistoric Animal Models of the Decade (2010-2019)

[Concavenator]

In this thread you can tell which have been your 10 favorite (or in your opinion, the best) prehistoric animal figures of this close-to-end decade (2010-2019).

There's no need for me to say that I wouldn't even want to think about making a poll about this, if one of these type of threads have such a frightening number of figures, in a single year! 

Anyways, like I said, here you can tell which have been your personal favorites ( or in your opinion, which have been the best figures). So these are my favorites (and in my opinion, the best) of this decade(this list is in no particular order).

Carnegie Cryolophosaurus (2010)
Papo Styracosaurus (2011)
Carnegie Carnotaurus (2011)
Carnegie Miragia (2011)
Papo Green Running T.rex (2012)
Carnegie Brachiosaurus (2012)
Papo Dimetrodon (2013)
CollectA Guidraco (2015)
Eofauna Giganotosaurus (2019)
Eofauna Atlasaurus (2019)

What about you guys?

[Loon]

I can't really put them in an exact order of "favorite-ness", so, I'll list my too figures by release year. As I'm relatively new to the game (I only started collecting a little more than 3 years ago), this list is mostly limited to that time frame.

I know that I will leave many figures in the inkwell but the most beautiful figures of the 2010-2019 decade of prehistoric animals are for me the following:

Safari sauropelta,
Megacerops (2013) by Collecta
Deinotherium and Atlasaurus (2019) by Eofauna
Collecta Dimorphodon
American Mammoth Safari
Safari Pteranodon
Iguanodon de Collecta
Spinosaurus de Rebor (I don't know if it will take place in 2019 or 2020 (anyway, 2020 should be included since the decade ends next year) from my honest point of view.
Safari Triceratops

And I have many figures in the inkwell, any of them for example the Safari regaliceratops, PNSO megalodon, PNSO nemicolopterus, Safari and PNSO ankylosaurus, Safari and Collecta dimetrodon, Schleich diabloceratops or dracorex, Vitae giganotosaurus, Safari or PNSO, Collecta styracosaurus, Safari malawisaurus, spinosaurus, baryonyx or Safari neovenator, Safari and Collecta uintatherium or Collecta elasmotherium could also be among those figures.

It is a choice too limited in number for me and in my case choosing the best figure is an arduous and difficult task. It is like choosing which is the best Nobel Prize of the last ten years considering that this subject includes the Nobel Prize for literature, physics, chemistry, biology, it is something very difficult to specify in my case in ten figures.

Eofauna Atlasaurus (2019)

[Shonisaurus]

In my opinion, for me (I already voted) I find it impossible to vote only for the ten best prehistoric animal figures of the "golden decade" from 2010 to 2019. It's like choosing the top ten Nobel Prizes of all the disciplines of the last ten years, as I said in another post, or to give another example the ten best painters of all time. It is very debatable in my case.

There are many candidates for that title and the ones I have named are because I have not been able to add other toy dinosaur figures, even Mattel, Recur, Bullyland (disappeared to our misfortune) or other prehistoric animal figures could be in the top ten. It would have been more successful to decide which have been the thirty best figures of these last ten years.

[Faelrin]

@Shonisaurus I agree very much with you on this.

I myself have been struggling trying to compile together a list since this topic was made, as it has been quite difficult for me to pick only ten of what have been so many stunning releases over this past decade. Perhaps with more time for me to think things through and I will probably be able to have something put together though, but it will be over ten, and probably not in any particular order. It would also ultimately be what my favorites are, and not entirely necessary what could be considered the best I guess (and that even begs the question of best in what way), which is perhaps quite hard to do with so many different genera (and companies on top of that). Perhaps it would be easier for me to pick ten of a particular company over the past decade, but with how many companies there are even that will be quite a number to pick, unless it was limited down to the usual favorites here (such as CollectA, Papo, PNSO, Safari Ltd, etc), but that still runs the risk of alienating some well made figures from other rather obscure brands. Although an alternative would be to pick ten from each year (like from the yearly polls), but even then that would be 100 figures if not more.

[Shonisaurus]

I totally agree with you Faelrin.
