Dinosaur toy forum diorama contest 2016 - poll

[DinoToyForum]

Voting for the Dinosaur Toy Forum Diorama Contest 2016 is now open!

Thanks to all the entrants! Thanks to Stargatedalek for compiling the entries.

The poll will run for 30 days and you can vote for your top eight [8] entries. Voting for oneself is allowed. Take your time when voting because once you've selected your dioramas, they can't be changed later.

The entries will remain anonymous throughout the voting process, so please don't give the game away: no hints, clues, or discussion about who dioramas might belong to. Also, please don't discuss which dioramas you voted for until after the poll closes. Otherwise, general discussion of the entries is more than welcome!

I thought it would be easier to decide with fewer entries. So many good ones this year.

[Jose S.M.]

This is my first time voting and it's so difficult to pick! So many great choices and some of the favorite figures in my collection are represented!

[Patrx]

There are some really lovely entries here! It may take me some time to decide how to vote...

[DinoLord]

Definitely no shortage of great entries despite the overall smaller submission pool.

[Simon]

You ain't kiddin'!  This is gonna take some time - its like all the fluffy entries have been removed but we have more serious entries than ever before!  Wow.

Pick 8?  I might have trouble "picking 18" from this lineup!!!

[stargatedalek]

I'm so sorry for the issues making the poll everyone, especially Dr Admin. It felt great to be a part of this and there really are a lot of amazing entries this year.

[AcroSauroTaurus]

So many awesome dioramas this year! It was hard to pick only 8!

[Arul]

Good job everyone but there is one diorama that drop my jaw...hope that diorama take a place as the winner in the end. Good luck everybody and thanks to dr.Admin and Star, without you this wont be happened

[Tumtist]

Tough choice to choose here,every diorama look good~

[Lanthanotus]

Thx to the hosts aswell.... and heck, I wanna make a decision, but I wrote all favs down and.... well, there's too many for eight votes

.... and another "aww", no discussion?! Sure, you're right about it, but I so wanna know the origin of one of the figures shown... (/switchestocalmmodeforanother30days)

[Lanthanotus]

Reading the topic once more I recognize that discussion isn't entirely "forbidden" and while the answer to my curiosity will sure have to wait until the poll is over, I have another point....

I really appreciate the variety of ideas and figures shown, just spotted one figure appearing in two dioramas. That does not in any way substrat from the dioramas' quality, just I wouldn't have been surprised about several high rated figures appearing more often

[Silvanusaurus]

A very interesting selection of photos, and some very striking images! Well done everyone! I'm glad theres a good while to take our time with the voting.

I didn't entire this year but I recognize most of the figures, can't hurt to ask.

Some of them I absolutely can't tell you though.

[Bokisaurus]

Congratulations to everyone who submitted this year, what an amazing selections with some truly wonderful effects!
Sometimes less is more, good luck everyone!

[Kovu]

All the entries are fantastic this year! Very hard to narrow it down to just eight, but good luck to everyone.

Well then, the figure in picture 17, is it custom or a regular toy figure?

[laticauda]

Great Diorama's this year.  Every one of them look good and you can feel the energy that was put into the diorama pictures.  Made my choices, now the hard part of waiting to see who wins.

[Simon]

Well then, the figure in picture 17, is it custom or a regular toy figure?

I was wondering that too - it may be a custom-made figure sculpted from scratch.  It just doesn't look at all familiar ....

[stargatedalek]

I don't recognize it either.
