Much obliged, I appreciate the assistance! I really thought I had enabled re-voting, but I must have clicked/not clicked the wrong thing.

I'm waiting for Everything Dinosaur to get the PNSO Miragaia, so that I can have it before voting.

avatar_Sim @Sim OK, I'll make sure to leave the poll up at least that long! I get the impression a few people are waiting for the Miragaia to materialize.

avatar_DinoToyForum @dinotoyforum Thanks for fixing it. I fixed my vote last night.

Also wow the Safari Deinonychus and PNSO Lambeosaurus are neck and neck. Well deserved first and second (so far).

Wow, this poll has really taken off, especially in comparison to other ongoing ones.

Well, I didn't think I was going to be able to do it. But, after much hemming and hawing, I did.

Here's my top 5 which are definitely my favorites from last year (in order):
I-Toy Paraceratherium
CollectA Lisowicia
Papo Megaloceros
PNSO Corythosaurus
Safari Deinonychus

And...here's the rest. I love these figures, but really they're more "I had to fill out the top 10" than anything. Also, it's mostly just the other figures from last year that I still own.

Safari Edmontosaurus
PNSO Atopodentatus
Safari Shringasaurus
PNSO Lambeosaurus
Creative Beast Protoceratops
Wild Past Protoceratops

Yeah, 55 votes! Solid showing, but we have hundreds of members. Make your voices heard!

As well as waiting for Everything Dinosaur to get in the new PNSO including the Miragaia in particular, I would also like to wait for them to get in the W Dragon Giraffatitan if that's not too much bother?
Megalosaurus, Iguanodon, Archaeopteryx, Cetiosaurus, Compsognathus, Hadrosaurus, Brontosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Albertosaurus, Herrerasaurus, Stenonychosaurus, Deinonychus, Maiasaura, Carnotaurus, Baryonyx, Argentinosaurus, Sinosauropteryx, Microraptor, Citipati, Mei, Tianyulong, Kulindadromeus, Zhenyuanlong, Yutyrannus, Borealopelta, Caihong

Halichoeres

That probably won't be a problem. It wouldn't surprise me if they're all on the same boat.

60 votes! There are still a few ties in the top ten.

With a few notable exceptions, these poll results so far are almost a top ten of PNSO 2020 figures at this rate. I wonder what would have been in the top ten had they not showed up, those exceptions aside.

My list is based purely on the figures that gave me the most fun an/or satisfaction. Perhaps not all of them are the best in terms of sculpt, paint, or technique (though I believe most are), but they just hit the right spot with me. Also, I actually own all of them, which is an important factor in me making a proper choice - more often than not, images aren't representative of the actual product, and you miss a lot of subtle details when just looking at images.

Anyway, without any further ado, my list:

CollectA Lisowicia
I-Toy Paraceratherium
Papo Megaloceros
PNSO Atopodentatus
Creative Beast Psittacosaurus
Creative Beast Zuniceratops
Safari Ltd Shringasaurus
CollectA Fukuisaurus
Wild Past Protoceratops
Safari Ltd Deinonychus

List is pretty much in order, though some figures can switch place every now and then.

I think that is an excellent way of putting together your list personally!

Thank you, I appreciate your comment! I see a lot of beautiful models pass by, and I truly appreciate their artistry, but they either don't really move me emotionally, and/or I don't buy them which makes proper judgment difficult for me.

Halichoeres

Oh no, we have a tie for first!

I think there is a recency effect; if they were all released at once, it might be less lopsided.

Good point about that actually.

And uh wow. Never thought I would see a hadrosaur go neck and neck with an accurate dromaeosaurid for first place on one of these polls. Oh how far we've come. I'm curious who may come out at the top at the end. Previously the Deinonychus had a slight lead.

Watching the results for this unfold have really been interesting though.

Agreed, a very exciting poll indeed! So exciting in fact, that I felt the need to order the lambeosaurus just now to see what the hype is all about 👀 She does look very elegant.

avatar_Sim @Sim avatar_Gothmog the Baryonyx @Gothmog the Baryonyx and others ordering from Everything Dinosaur: now that they have the last 2020 PNSO figures in stock, can you let me know when you've voted? I fear that the farther we get into 2021 the less relevance the results of this poll will have.

avatar_Halichoeres @Halichoeres I will vote tomorrow evening, as I'm opening the boxes tomorrow morning and I'll give myself a day to think about it (the Miragaia is a must, but I need to decide which if any of the others will be going in my top 10)
