What animal figures do we want in the coming years?

Any suggestions for Papo or Bullyland? Just out of interest have Bullyland stopped producing wild life as it seems they've not released anything new over the past few years?

@Advicot I suggested something for Papo earlier in this thread.

Also, have you not heard what happened to Bullyland? ???
(a.k.a. Ravonium, on the DTF and STS)

Advicot

No @Badger I haven't. Please tell. I'm very interested now. I know you suggested a couple of Papo but I'm seeing if there are any more suggestions.

Ah, well that's sad isn't it.  :'(  It's a good job I've recently acquired 10+ Bullyland figures.  I think some of their models (from before they left us in the world of animal figures) were great. Even if they were not the best quality.

I know, I own it, I meant to add I would like to see a female or maybe some young from them to go with it but I was in a hurry and forgotXD

I agree with you about the brown hyenas, even though I don't collect brown it would still be nice to see them represented, also aardwolves.

I figured as much. I know the current Papo is a bit of a joke, that it looks sculpted like a brown hyena (poorly) but painted like a spotted. Their first was like a cartoon caricature.

I know, their first attempt is legitimately laughable and even though the sculpting and paint are a lot better on their second it doesn't have the shape of a spotted at all, I actually bought the newer one to repaint it to be a striped.

It's disappointing. They could have just gone with one of the other species. They already sculpted it that way!
