Safari TOOB figures you would like to see in 'standard' size?

I typically don't engage in annual 'wish lists' but there have been recent Safari TOOB figures I would love to see in standard size! What are yours?

Some that come to mind immediately are:

1. bonobo
2. great blue heron
3. Canada goose
4. addax

The Canada goose and blue heron for sure. Although I don't particularly like the TOOB heron I have to think a larger one would look better. I also agree about the addax.

Kind of an odd pick but from the Cryptozoology TOOB, the jackalope. Wouldn't mind a larger scale jackalope.

From the river TOOB, the cottonmouth and alligator snapper. I know they made and retired those for the IC line but I want them back! Also, the mudpuppy from the Great Lakes TOOB.

From the venomous creatures TOOB, an IC cane toad and stone fish would be awesome.

Southern right whale dolphin and hourglass dolphin from the dolphins TOOB.

Swordfish and yellowfin tuna from the pelagic fishes TOOB. And just about any larger sized fish that Safari has made for a TOOB. The sturgeon and arapaima are two more.

The mountain goat from the North American wildlife TOOB. Again, I know they had one but it's retired now. Safari has a lot of figures I wish they would bring out of retirement.

Their hyena in the toob is superior so I'd like to see that.

I of course second the sturgeon and arapaima. I'd also like to see the ornate ray in larger form.

Maybe some of the prehistoric sharks and crocs (with revisions/corrections where needed).

Hmm prehistoric sharks maybe?  I'd say make large versions of the deep sea TOOB as well, but the deep sea TOOB is already a little like a mini version of their 90's line in some respects so it might be a little redundant.  Large glass squid would be cool though.
Maybe the frilled shark, saiga and quetzal bird as well

For sure first one that comes to my mind is the swordfish (from Pelagic Fish Toob). Seconded by every species of dolphin from dolphin TOOB except those that already had figures in standar size from either this or other brands. Especially wished are the hourglass dolphin, humpback dolphin and right whale dolphin.

Yeah, I should have went with that answer.

The frilled shark and saiga for sure too. Didn't even think about the prehistoric TOOBS.

The Saiga might be nice (although at least CollectA made one). Definitely the frilled shark--and maybe a few others from the prehistoric sea life too too. Their nothosaur and Henodus, for example

I want to have Lake Sturgeon and Lake Erie Watersnake from Great Lakes Toobs in standard size, also emerald tree boa from Rainforest and all dendrobates from Frog Toobs.
