Top 10 stegosaurs toys [Poll open]

[DinoToyForum]

You have "Rebor Stegosaurus (Woodland)" listed.  "Woodland" is actually one of the three variants - they are Woodland, Mountain and something else - Plain, I think.  The nickname of the model (rather than the sundry variants) is "Garden", not "Woodland".  I thought you weren't going to list any of the variants separately?

Thanks for the correction, I've updated the list to the model/sculpt name rather than the variant name.

Thanks for a Carnage Stegosaurus! (I think I missed it earlier besides the Carnegie Miragaia)

@dinotoyforum, I wonder if the PNSO Huayangosaurus could be listed as PNSO Huayangosaurus (mini).  I have one and would like to vote for it, but I'm not sure it's the China Post version, it's one that came on its own.  If I'm understanding it correctly, the China Post version is identical except for the paintjob and that it came in a set of seven dinosaurs.  By simply referring to it as mini, it could cover both versions of this figure.

[DinoToyForum]

Yes, I can make that so. It's about time I set up the poll!

[Gwangi]

Is it time for the poll yet?

Hope that it generates more enthusiasm than the 2019 Top 10 poll, which is still struggling to hit 40 voters, despite strong efforts on the part of the organizer to get some more people to vote.

Looking at past polls right now. The Allosaurus poll got 91 votes, the Carnegie poll got 77, the Spinosauridae poll got 100. But a lot of polls got considerably less votes, the basal ceratopsian poll only got 37, extinct birds got 44. There seems to be a correlation between the number of votes and the popularity of the animal(s) being polled. I dunno, maybe trying to figure out a top ten for an entire year's worth of figures is too daunting for some people.

I, for one, am looking forward to your poll. Yes, Stegosaurus should be successful.

[triceratops83]

Ah, Battat Stegosaurus... you have my support, you ol' eight tail-spiked rascal.

Poll open!

In general, think it is difficult to vote without pictures of every figure at hand, and most members will only actually only own a handful of the figures in the list, which might make it difficult for members to cast a meaningful vote.

Well, I guess that an implication of this would be that those who do vote are generally well informed, either through ownership, faithfully reading the DTB with its pictorial buffet or both. This should make the final results of a poll quite meaningful.

@dinotoyforum, could you change the PNSO Huayangosaurus to PNSO Huayangosaurus (mini) as you said you would in Reply #43?

[DinoToyForum]

Done. Like so: PNSO Huayangosaurus mini (China Post Figures). Is that right?

[Shonisaurus]

I vote for Invicta's stegosaurus he is a "retro" figure but his beauty and charm never perish. Invicta is one of the pioneering dinosaur companies in Europe and the world and deserves a tribute from me.

@dinotoyforum I would leave out "China Post figures" as that refers to one specific version of this model.

[Dinoguy2]

Invicta Stegosaurus is included but not Carnegie? I guess I'll have to vote for a Schleich!

[ceratopsian]

I found it quite hard to whittle my votes down to ten.  Eleven or twelve seemed more achievable!  This poll reminded me of how very fond I am of my stegosaurs.

[DinoToyForum]

@dinotoyforum I would leave out "China Post figures" as that refers to one specific version of this model.

Okay. By specific version do you mean a colour variant? Otherwise, isn't it a different model entirely? This is kinda what I meant upthread about it being difficult to decide without images at hand.

No one ever suggested it for the poll. Besides, Invicta>Carnegie, at least in this case.
