Poll: Your favorite companies!

[Halichoeres]

Ten years after the launch of the last poll of this kind, here's an updated version. By launching it, I'm probably ensuring that a new company will emerge in the next few months to steal all our hearts and invalidate the results. I've included Safari's Carnegie Collection line as a separate entry by popular demand, although it was a pretty near thing at 8-7. Hopefully more people participate in this vote than on the whether-to-separate-Carnegie vote. I've been accepting nominations for a little over three weeks, but if one of your favorites didn't make it, write it in and tell us in the comments!

You have up to ten votes. For now, you won't be able to see results until you've voted.

If you want to get acquainted with some of the less familiar candidates:
Aurora
Inpro
MPC
Oumcraft
Sinclair

Edit 25 Oct: If you wish to vote for Aurora Prehistoric Scenes, you'll find it second from the bottom. Apologies for the error.

Despite the option to pick 10 that should be more then sufficient, I'm still trying to decide what to go for personally. On one hand, some of these I collect quite a bit from, on the other hand, some of these have quite the history and charm behind them, which is also enticing, despite that I don't collect as much from them. Without those very first pioneers, would we still have what we have today?

I'm curious to see what folks will decide on while I get things figured out.

Can you add wild past?

[Crackington]

Thanks for doing this @Halichoeres and for canvassing members views (+listening too!).

Not sure if there's an error with the Aurora box though. On my device it looks like a title for the poll rather than one of the list and thus can't be ticked at the moment.

Not sure if this is just on my ageing mobile though....

I see the same as @Crackington - Aurora is the header not an option for voting.

Drat, sorry about that! I can't add it where it belongs without resetting the votes, so I've added it second from the bottom, above write-ins.

Can you also add the brand Wild Past from dinotoycollector

[Halichoeres]

Hi @Chasmosaurus sorry I overlooked your first request. The previous thread was the place to nominate companies for inclusion in the poll. Nobody nominated it there, so I'm sorry, I'm going to say no. I included an 'other' option at the bottom of the poll, if you'd like to vote for Wild Past I think that's the best way to go. I understand that's not quite the same, but I want to avoid a situation where the poll results become meaningless due to continuous addition of new companies, especially since they cannot be added in alphabetical order after launch.

i'm glad to see that 3 out of my 4 votes are the leaders of the poll

Don'tworry i understand thank you for the answe.

[Crackington]

Voted for the golden oldies I suggested (thought I'd better!) plus some newer ones like Oumcraft and Collecta.

Be interesting to see if Aurora gets any more votes!

[Gwangi]

Thanks for putting this together. Now I'll have to figure out which 10 to vote for, which is trickier than I initially thought. Certainly having Safari and Carnegie lumped together would help, haha. 

[ceratopsian]

I'm looking forward to seeing how this poll works out.

I voted only for lines I actually collect (or have actively collected earlier and still have in my collection and on show - for instance Battat, Carnegie).  I was, however, tempted to put down Invicta and Sinclair - I like them in the abstract (and would love to have a Sinclair or two).  But I've never bought any.  So I didn't vote for them in the end. 

I went for "Other" as I like Wild Past - though admittedly there are as yet only a few little models available.  But I'm hoping to see more.

If I had to put down my two overall favourites that I'm currently collecting, I'd go for PNSO, followed by CollectA, with Eofauna and Wild Past tagging along a little further behind.

[bmathison1972]

I only voted for five: Safari, CollectA, and PNSO for 'classic dinos' and Kaiyodo and Favorite for invertebrates (although CollectA covers inverts too!).

[Concavenator]

I voted for 10, and if I were to order them it would go like this:

1. Eofauna
2. PNSO
3. Creative Beast
4. Vitae
5. Safari Ltd (Carnegie)
6. Safari Ltd (Wild Safari)
7. CollectA
8. Kaiyodo
9. Other (Ancestors)
10. Other (Wild Past)

[Faelrin]

S @Saurophaganax That's what the other/write in option was for. To catch anything that wasn't added there.

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

I voted for the Carnegie, Wild Safari, Battat, and Invicta as my main favorite companies. I also put in for Marx, Sinclair, and Bullyland as more secondary favorites.

[Chasmosaurus]

I voted for

1 - Eofauna
2 - Safari Ltd
3 - Collecta
4 - PNSO
5 - Rebor
6 - Creative Beast
7 - other (for wikd past)
8 - Battat
9 - Kaiyodo
10 - Vitae

[Cretaceous Crab]

Wow. Top 2 companies are Eofauna and PNSO.

I'm hoping Eofauna continues to become a strong force with quality figures at a slightly less expensive price point than PNSO.

Interesting results so far😃
