[Poll] Top Ten figures of 2023

[Faelrin]

@Gwangi I have it on the list above. You are the second to request the HC Carnotaurus I think. I wasn't going to add it since it is technically a 2024 release, but if enough folks want to vote for it, I can add it.

[GojiraGuy1954]

I would go for these ten

- CollectA Anomalocaris
- CollectA Hadrosaurus
- Haolonggood Nasutoceratops
- Haolonggood Pachyrhinosaurus
- PNSO Alamosaurus
- PNSO Saurophaganax
- PNSO Spinosaurus
- PNSO Yangchuanosaurus magnus
- Rebor Deinosuchus & Appalachiosaurus corpse
- Safari Ltd Utahraptor

[TheCambrianCrusader]

It's gonna be hard to pick out 10, this year has been completely stacked with amazing releases!

[rm0918]

CollectA Mosasaurus
CollectA Ruyangosaurus

Mojo Fun Woolly Rhino

Papo Kronosaurus
Papo Mosasaurus

PNSO Alamosaurus
PNSO Mapusaurus

PNSO Alamosaurus
HLG Apatosaurus
HLG Pachyrhinosaurus
HLG Edmontonia
Wild Past Scutosaurus & Kotlassia

Had PNSO's return to lipped Theropods come sooner, their Rex, Giga, Megalosaurus, Gorgosaurus & Meraxes would've been included too 

[Faelrin]

Hey folks if there are no more suggestions by tomorrow (uh after 12pm est I guess?), I'll get the poll up and running by then. I think I have most figures folks seem interested in voting for covered at this point.

Edit: I'll also see what hasn't been suggested, but I added to the list, which might be worth omitting from the final poll, unless folks object to me doing that.

[Fembrogon]

I'll put in my two cents before the poll starts:

• Safari Ltd. Estemmenosuchus
• Safari Ltd. Utahraptor
• Collecta Koolasuchus
• Papo Kronosaurus
• Creative Beast Dryptosaurus
• Wild Past Scutosaurus
• Haolonggood Edmontonia
• PNSO Saurophaganax
• Kaiyodo Zuul
• Mattel Triceratops Habitat Defender

This was a much harder list than I anticipated; as others have said, 2023 was a bumper crop year! I've tried to pick a diverse selection from different companies, and a mix of figures I do and don't own.

[Flaffy]

The three most unique figures of 2023 deserves a vote
- Safari Estemmenosuchus
- Wild Past Scutosaurus
- CollectA Koolasuchus

[Paleo Flo]

PNSO Cameron T-Rex
PNSO Spinosaurus
PNSO Megalosaurus

[Faelrin]

and most of Mattel's minus a few exceptions as noted above (edit: unless I change my mind last minute tomorrow, since I still don't know if I'll vote for more then the HC Brachiosaurus, and probably the HC Carnotaurus what with all the tough competition around)

[TlatolophusJuanorum]

It seems you forgot about CollectA Stegouros @Faelrin , otherwise the list looks excellent!

[Paleo Flo]

Forgot to mention the CollectA Ceratosuchops...such a splendid figure!

[Faelrin]

@TlatolophusJuanorum It will be included, along with the rest of CollectA, Creative Beast (excludes repaints but Styracosaurus), Haolonggood, PNSO, and the Safari Ltd that have released so far, alongside all the others above (unless there's any last minute exceptions to the exclusion list above). The above just makes note of what folks had requested or voted for. Unless I missed it, I didn't see anyone request it though?

Anyways I'm only up to go the bathroom, and will be going back to sleep, so like folks have at least several hours from now to decide before I get up and start work on it.

[Halichoeres]

OK, so I've been thinking about it, and while most of my top 10 have already been accounted for, the Bandai MegaHouse Mawsonia that came with their Spinosaurus anatomy kit really was one of the 10 most exciting figures for me this year.

[Faelrin]

@Halichoeres I will be sure to add that one to the poll, since you suggested it. In fact I'll be getting to work on it now.

[Faelrin]

Poll is up now. I added your option @Halichoeres at the very top, as "Bandai Megahouse Mawsonia (with Spinosaurus) Kaitai Puzzle" lol. Mattel figures are at the bottom, as well as a bunch of write in options just in case, folks have multiple figures in mind that aren't above. If anyone uses multiple write in options, please add which numbers you've voted for (#1, #2, etc).

Edit: I have no idea how long this should run for, but I guess we'll figure that out later.

Edit 2: Ugh I'm having such a hard time narrowing down Creative Beast, Haolonggood, and PNSO.

At the very least I think I'm voting for CollectA's Koolasuchus and BotM Yutyrannus, and Safari Ltd Estemmenosuchus and Utahraptor.

Here's what I'm trying to decide on for the above from what I already narrowed down:

Creative Beast Studio BotM Diabloceratops babies (I own)
Creative Beast Studio BotM Guanlong (I own)
Creative Beast Studio BotM Proceratosaurus (I own)

Haolonggood Apatosaurus (either color)
Haolonggood Dilophosaurus (either color)

[Concavenator]

In no particular ranking:

- Ancestors Tlatolophus
- CollectA Koolasuchus
- Creative Beast Studio BotM Yutyrannus
- Haolonggood Apatosaurus
- Haolonggood Megaraptor
- Kaiyodo Zuul
- PNSO Gorgosaurus
- PNSO Meraxes
- Safari Estemmenosuchus
- Safari Utahraptor

I already voted; my choices were the same except that I went with CollectA's Mosasaurus instead of Ancestors' Tlatolophus since the latter wasn't a choice.

[Faelrin]

@Concavenator That's why there is several write in options, just in case. If you want to change your vote to include that under a write in vote, you are free to do so. Just remove and re-vote.
