Which new animal would you prefer

[JimBee]

ill be a rebel and say grizzly bear. a cow would just be a horse with shorter legs and horns. a buffulo would be an ugly <insert that tiresome argument> part that looks nothing like LEGO, in my mind at least, thats the picture. Other, a horse! oh wait... so yeah a grizzly. In my mind its a smooth textured chubby brown or black <insert that tiresome argument> body with head that moves side to side, and the head looks simple, with black dot eyes, maybe with angry eyebrows. no mouth. little bumps defining the hips from the body, like the horse, and bent legs at a 60 degree angle.

EDIT: D'oh! I just read JimmytheJ's comment about the polar bear, no wonder where i got that picture (in my mind) from! now i feel incredibly stupid, even though i dont have a polar bear or havent seen it in long time.

This is what we envision an authentic Cow to look like :)

We make the products we do, so polls like this would be much easier to decide.

Buffalo or Vulture ON.

Oh dear...

I agree with Armothe, I think this is what a TLC cow would look like, except it couldn't be exactly the same because it would have already been done!

I'll vote for the cow...it fits the theme well AND is useful for other themes. The buffalo does fit WW, but isn't as useful outside of WW...

I voted buffalo as it is the iconic animal of the Wild West but I would love to see any new official moulds. I agree cows would have more use in other themes but as so many people have said if you think of the Wild West and animals you think buffalo. That and Brickforge already do awesome cows (and pigs and sheep ) but you never know, if LEGO did decide to revive WW as a full theme they might treat us to a couple of animal moulds. Here's hoping!

Kind of off topic, but there is a lion in the Indy game, which I think would make a great new piece.

I voted for other. A crayfish(I think in some places they call it a "Crawdad") would be pretty cool for a Louisiana bayou set with a shack on stilts and a fishing...guy. Can't think of the word for it. But if we're talkin FARTHER West than Louisiana, then a Rainbow Trout would be pretty cool. Or a tortoise. Anyways my vote is either Crayfish or Trout.
