Top 10 Best Prehistoric Animal Models of 2019

[SidB]

The possibility of changing a vote or two will be appreciated - sober second thought, you know.

 The six PNSO mini figures are just re-releases from 2017.

P @PumperKrickel, I don't think giving it one week is rushing the suggestion phase since no-one is suggesting any more figures, plus there was time to suggest figures earlier on when Concavenator was managing this thread.  I didn't start this thread and I'm doing my best to make it work after the thread starter said they were too busy to deal with it although voting would still close in February.  I don't think changing the thread title would make much of a difference, but if @Concavenator or a moderator wants to do it, they can.

It appears they have somewhat changed paintjobs, that might be why they are being included here.

P @PumperKrickel, the impression I'm getting is that people don't have any more figures to suggest including.  I can't imagine that if the suggestion phase was extended to several weeks, someone will suggest a figure that will make the top 10.  I was thinking of allowing people to change their votes so that people wouldn't have to vote again if they didn't want to, but I personally have no problem with resetting the votes.  On this note though, people have been voting even with the poll as it currently is.  This suggests to me that people are more interested in voting than in waiting for changes to be made to the poll.  As for there being no harm in waiting a few weeks, the voting will be closed in a few weeks.  I'd like to vote in this poll before it closes.

As for your comments on the Mattel figures:
1. I can ask whoever will modify the poll to add "repaint" after the roarivores.
2. I can ask for the removal of the super colossal T. rex.
3. Looking at the list @Faelrin provided, there seems to be quite a lot of Jurassic World Velociraptor toys that are new for 2019.  I don't know enough about JW toys to know the best way to deal with them.  I'm not sure it's necessary to include every JW dromaeosaurid figure.  If people don't want to vote for them it's just going to make the list unnecessarily longer and waste time.  I think you're right though that the Velociraptor in the poll should be specified.  Do you have a suggestion for how to deal with the JW Velociraptor toys?

[Sim]

@Concavenator, which figure is the Mattel Velociraptor in the poll supposed to be?  Is it the Savage Strike?  It needs to be specified in the poll which figure that Velociraptor is.  Could you please remove the super colossal T. rex from the poll as it is a 2018 figure that was repacked for 2019.  Could you also please add the following to the poll:

Mattel Plesiosaurus (Battle Damage)
PNSO Patton the megalodon (small)
PNSO Nick the Ceratosaurus
PNSO Brook the Ophthalmosaurus
PNSO Mamenchisaurus (dinosaurs museum)
PNSO Amargasaurus (dinosaurs museum)
PNSO Mosasaurus (dinosaurs museum)
PNSO Giganotosaurus (dinosaurs museum)
PNSO Spinosaurus (dinosaurs museum)
PNSO Chungkingosaurus (dinosaurs museum)
PNSO Yangchuanosaurus (dinosaurs museum)

Finally, could you either reset the votes in the poll or allow people to change their vote?

[SidB]

I'm really glad to see these PNSO museum figures admitted to the voteable line-up. With the line between "statue" and toy being increasingly blurred, cost-wise and in the matter of removeable bases, this seems very appropriate. I'll certainly adjust my votes accordingly.

[Silvanusaurus]

Honestly I thought Schleich's Plesiosaurus would be winning by a landslide...

Don't despair - there's still time!

Oh you KNOW I voted for that one.

@dinotoyforum, could you please make the following changes to this poll:

1. Remove the figure listed as "Mattel Velociraptor" as it doesn't specify which figure that is.

2. Remove the Mattel super colossal T. rex as it is a 2018 figure that was only repacked for 2019.

3. Add these figures:
Mattel Plesiosaurus (Battle Damage)
PNSO Patton the megalodon (small)
PNSO Nick the Ceratosaurus
PNSO Brook the Ophthalmosaurus
PNSO Mamenchisaurus (dinosaurs museum)
PNSO Amargasaurus (dinosaurs museum)

Well, @Concavenator is responsible for setting up the poll and so he should be responsible for maintaining it.

Urgh, 60 members have voted already. This was flagged and foreseen months ago...

Yeah, thanks for setting up the poll, but let's do this properly, no rush. We still have two months of 2019 left! It is frustrating for members to have to vote again and again as the options change.

Also, I'm moving the poll to the correct board...

[Concavenator]

@Sim are you sure those are all the figures that would need to be added? I could add those figures, but 60 members have already voted and that's quite an achievement. If the only changes that need to be done are adding those figures and reset the poll, it's fine. Afterwards I could change the title as well.

[Sim]

It's good to hear from you @Concavenator!

1. Could you please remove the super colossal T. rex from the poll as it is actually a 2018 figure.

2. P @PumperKrickel mentioned a number of Mattel Velociraptor figures are missing, so I think it would be good to add them.  To do that, could you please add "(green Basic Dino Value)" after the "Mattel Velociraptor" in the poll.  Could you also add the following to the poll:
Mattel Velociraptor Blue (Basic Dino Value)
Mattel Velociraptor Delta
Mattel Velociraptor Charlie
Mattel Velociraptor Echo
Mattel Velociraptor (Savage Strike)
Mattel Velociraptor (white Legacy Collection)
Mattel Velociraptor (brown Legacy Collection)

3. Could you please add the following to the poll:
Mattel Plesiosaurus (Battle Damage)
PNSO Patton the megalodon (small)
PNSO Nick the Ceratosaurus
PNSO Brook the Ophthalmosaurus
PNSO Mamenchisaurus (dinosaurs museum)
PNSO Amargasaurus (dinosaurs museum)
PNSO Mosasaurus (dinosaurs museum)
PNSO Giganotosaurus (dinosaurs museum)
PNSO Spinosaurus (dinosaurs museum)
PNSO Chungkingosaurus (dinosaurs museum)
PNSO Yangchuanosaurus (dinosaurs museum)

4. Finally could you please reset the votes in the poll.

That should be everything!

[Concavenator]

@Sim okay, I have just done all that. I added the missing figures, took out the 2018 figure, and have reset the poll. I have also changed the name of the poll to make people notice the reset poll. Everything should be fine now 

[Sim]

Thanks for all you've done @Concavenator!  The Mattel Velociraptor Blue (Basic Dino Value) is missing but perhaps it's okay to only include it if someone wants to vote for it.  There's two other Velociraptor Blue figures in the poll and I doubt the missing figure would make it into the top 10 since no-one specifically requested that figure be included.

[Concavenator]

@Sim I also added that figure and reset the poll once more. This should be it.
