I suggested:

common bedbug (Incredible Creatures)
Andean cock-of-the-rock (Wings of the World)
coati (Wildlife)

I know the bedbug is s stretch, but it might sell well with the medical and public health educational community. In hindsight I should have selected medicinal leech.

I think a bedbug has a decent shot, might not be super popular with the parents but it's a recognizable animal that would probably do really well in the school project and Halloween markets.

I submitted Tokay gecko, crested gecko, and Tupandactylus.

My were

A Dik Dik Antelope for wildlife

Heterodontosaurus tucki For Prehistoric World

and a Japanese Kappa For Mythical realms

I sent these suggestion: put again in production the retired Malayan Tapir, make a normal-sized (not TOOB) Commerson's dolphin, and make a Marbled Cat :-)

Advicot · « **Reply #5 on:** October 12, 2019, 01:45:26 PM »

I put a Roan Antelope and Aye Aye for wildlife and a Saddle Billed Stork for Wings Of the World.

Animalibus · « **Reply #6 on:** October 15, 2019, 04:30:04 PM »

I put a California Condor (retireted) and Rhea americana (Nandu) for Wings of the World and Coati (Nasua nasua) for Wildlife.

Coati seems popular; I also did that one and on the STS forum 1-2 other people did too. I suggested it for North American Wildlife, but really it could be for either!

AcroSauroTaurus · « **Reply #8 on:** October 16, 2019, 05:58:18 PM »

I put Strap-toothed Beaked Whale, Mymoorapelta, and Gharial.

Animalibus · « **Reply #9 on:** December 14, 2019, 01:05:41 PM »

I suggested

Nandu (Rhea americana) male, female and chiks
Giant Armadillo (Priodontes maximus)
Giant Otter (Pteronura brasiliensis)
Coati (Nasua narica)
Vicunha (Vicugna pacos)

When are the results going to be published?

Isidro · « **Reply #11 on:** December 14, 2019, 05:22:01 PM »

I would think that, if they go to be published (I don't assume that), then it will be in 2021...

They already announced the winner. A little girl who suggested a Mermaid TOOB, I think. I didn't see that one coming, but there you go. It was on the FB page a while ago.

Isidro · « **Reply #13 on:** December 15, 2019, 09:34:28 PM »

Oh! I didn't expected such an anticipation (one year before the releasing). Will be good for the fantasy figure lovers.

So that’s the only suggestion Safari went with?

Advicot · « **Reply #15 on:** December 16, 2019, 03:43:29 PM »

A mermaid tube?! Of all things!

bmathison1972 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 07, 2020, 02:21:13 PM »

I don't normally do these 'wish lists' but it can sometimes be fun to dream. This is a general comment, not related to Safari's formal poll above. How about a Small Mammals TOOB:
-vampire bat
-pygmy armadillo
-lesser bushbaby
-star-nosed mole
-desert cottontail rabbit
-elephant shrew
-pacarana
-eastern chipmunk
-African striped weasel

You can't have everything obscure; Safari likes to go for common and familiar much of the time.

animaltoyforum · « **Reply #17 on:** January 07, 2020, 09:11:31 PM »

Do you think that's because most people voted for mermaid toob?

MammothProductions · « **Reply #18 on:** January 07, 2020, 10:08:58 PM »

I dont know a serious collector who would.

I didn't realize voting was final. A mermaid's toob? Oh for [email protected]^%!'s sake. Honestly I bet they already had the 2021 line-up ready and just picked the one person that made a lucky guess of what would be among the items. These things often take years to make and approve, so I doubt any suggestions in late 2019 would be seen in 2021.
