Both Colorata and Takara Tomy did excellent barreleye figurines already.
There are plenty of venomous creatures figurines to choose from tons of different groups. Some brands even did toobs with that thematic:
Safari 679504 Venomous Creatures TOOB - ToyAnimalWiki
Wild Republic Venomous Adventure Tube - ToyAnimalWiki
Takara Tomy Venomous Spiders - ToyAnimalWiki

Gaur is made by Mojo, and Marabou by Papo.
A couple others might be made by Asian brands like Kaiyodo.

Javan Rhino: Bullyland, tough is not fully satisfactory for me.
Gaur: Great Argus already said it. I have it. Is perfect, tough very glossy.
Marabou Stork: also said by Great Argus. Most times this model have stability problems.
False Gharial: Schleich, tough marketed just as Gharial. It's an old figure and far from perfect, but very recognizable as species.
Black Caiman: Safari LTD, marketed just as Caiman, but most collectors use it as Black caiman due to the colours and features of this figurine.
I did myself a James's flamingo and a giant ibis, tough the latter went "too" giant and I sold it to a collector friend.
I remember some more obscure brand did bantengs, but retired or unavailable since long years ago I believe.
I have it as well; I agree it's pretty glossy but I don't think it's entirely unrealistic. Male Gaur are relatively shiny in decent light, and so the glossy paint may well have been to replicate that.
This male from Dortmund Zoo for example shows a lot of gloss. (Photo by snowleopard)
Although I collect a lot of different types of animal figurines, I’m mostly a bird collector and I’m always looking for a cool looking bird figure. Just a few of some figurines I would like to see are:
- Gray Crowned Crane
- African Jacana
- Victoria Crowned Pigeon
- Rock Pigeon
- Congo Peafowl
- Long-Tailed Paradise Whydah
- Black Swan
- Kea
- African Gray Parrot
- Superb Starling
- Gray Go-Away Bird
- Kori Bustard
- Mandarin Duck
- Ornate Hawk-Eagle
- Lappet-Faced Vulture
- Raggiana Bird-Of-Paradise
- Gray Crowned Crane
- African Jacana
- Victoria Crowned Pigeon
- Rock Pigeon
- Congo Peafowl
- Long-Tailed Paradise Whydah
- Black Swan
- Kea
- African Gray Parrot
- Superb Starling
- Gray Go-Away Bird
- Kori Bustard
- Mandarin Duck
- Ornate Hawk-Eagle
- Lappet-Faced Vulture
- Raggiana Bird-Of-Paradise
Both made by Papo, the Mandarin Duck is current and the Black Swan is retired. The swan is the same sculpt as their Mute Swan which is a bit of a bummer, but otherwise quite nice.

Ornate hawk eagle was made by Colorata and kea by SSS (Stuart Sales and Service), and if you don't include the crowned pigeon done by Arborium, then I fear the other species mentioned are ntot done by any brand (excluding of course the many black swans and mandarin ducks from diverse brands each one, for mandarin I favour Kaiyodo over the Papo one).
Are there any Potto ones? I'm thinking of getting one for Myself for my birthday if they make them.
I know of a couple different slow loris figures but I don't recall ever running across Potto.

I have Golden Pheasant, Silver Pheasant, 'field' Pheasant (Ring-neck), Capercaillie, Grey Partridge and Guineafowl from Elastolin in masse/composite, pre-war.Any pheasants or waterfowl, apart from Mandarin drake, which I’ve got
Pretty sure there are Mallard and Peacock in one of the new plastic ranges...
There are indeed, each by multiple brands. I'm not particularly keen on any of the peacocks I've seen though, they're all a bit funky in my opinion. Mostly in how they deal with the complicated tail.
There was a limited edition False Killer Whale for the Okinawa Aquarium miniature line, but it's obviously quite small and hard to come by.

Oh yeah, i already orderd it and it is a absolute splendid figurine of such a unusual species.I actually thought about earlier this year how nice it would have been if a salmon shark figurine was made,since Lamnidae is my favourite shark familly.But i abonded that thought since assumed it was highly unlikley any would be made,let alone by western company like safari.Guess i will have to buy another one,even though my painting skills are awful.
