Leopard gecko figurines are quite popular and varied amongst Japanese brands.

Black-headed gull has been done by Bullyland, but in winter plumage - no black head.
The rare and obscure brand ELC produced a rare and obscure European adder, but I guess it's diffcult to find. Same happens with the brand Imperial, the only producer of a gerenuk (sold under "Gazelle", but with that neck is clearly modelled after a gerenuk).

 

A pity Likaon's limited custom Gerenuk was not wide production and quite expensive - though the same can be said for all their figures...

 

I know there is a small handful of them made by more obscure companies but I wouldlike to see common brushtail possum/Trichosurus vulpecula made by mainstream manufacturers.

 

Science & Nature (an Australian brand) currently produces one. The best source for those figures is the Australian website Minizoo, and they do ship internationally.

 

Bullyland’s salmon could possibly represent an Atlantic. It is one of the more common Bullyland fish, but that’s not saying much. I do have that figure, though.

Aside from the Japanese companies, Play Visions made a slightly less realistic Leopard Gecko for the North American market. It’s arguably one of the more common PV figures. I have acquired four of them myself (though one has a missing tail-tip).

One of the later Australian Yowie series had a Syrian Wild Ass (an extinct subspecies of the Onager). It’s small (like all of the Yowies), not especially naturalistic in appearance, and one of the harder Yowies to get (on top of the fact that the Cadbury Yowies were essentially Australia exclusives).

 

We had to buy something. Schleich and Papo

 

Bontebok, any Hartebeest species, Puku and Zebra or Jentink's duiker. Collecta disappointed this year, when it comes to Ungulates and I have high expectations for the next season.

 

Any waterfowl apart from Mandarin, Mallard, Mute Swan, Canada and Domestic Goose

 

Check out the Ducks Unlimited mini decoys.

 

I’ve had a look, they seem to commend high prices

 

Ambystoma mexicanum

 

The Axolotl has been made by several Japanese companies and also by Yowie Group. Most figures are albino and none are easily obtainable in Slovakia.

 

I made one for my daughter. daughter keeps them and they are very nice.

 

Axolotls are a very trendy animal at the moment, I've seen plenty of figures and and I'm sure there's plenty of companies making them.

 

I couldn't find any here, so I made one. the model was the daughter of an axolotl whose breeding

 

The retired Maia and Borges Waterbirds set (tufted duck, mute swan, mallard, wood duck, northern loon, red-throated loon, horned grebe, and falcated duck) might be up your alley! Otherwise, the rare AAA small ducks series (Black duck, blue-winged teal, goldeneye, green-winged teal, hooded merganser, mallard, pintail, and wood duck) might be one to track down! The yowies blue-winged goose also comes to mind.

 

The old brand Starlux has a Jentink's duiker, although I expect it is extremely difficult to find and I also wish we would get a new one. There is also a retired Bullyland Topi, and a collectA Hirola.
