A couple of Papo 2011 and others

I finally got the Safari WW Asian elephant - wow! She's beautiful and I also bought this years Indian Rhino and he's just amazing. Here they are:








Asian Elephant Cow










and I think all these animals below are in scale with each other

They're gorgeous!

And ohhh how terribly do I envy your photography skills! ;D

Great shots, hkhollinstone! Almost a year ago I also made a thread on Wildlife Wonders figures here (I'm only missing yet-to-be-released Okapi):
dinotoyforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=othertoys&action=display&thread=2881
The Asian Elephant is one of my favourites from the series. The WS Indian Rhinoceros is very nice, too.
One question remains - initially I thought the Giraffe was by Bullyland but it probably isn't - but what brand is it (and I guess this would also be interesting for postsaurischian, this looks to be around 1:20)?

Thanks Niroot and Brontodocus!
brontodocus, the Giraffe is by AAA - it used to look like this:

But I repainted it, I think the scale is 1:22

Very beautiful shots, Harriet! I love that elephant.
I've already seen your AAA Giraffes on your web page and as brontodocus suspected - the first thing I thought was: "This would be the right giraffe for my collection!"

Thanks Postsaurischian! Yes I love the scale of this giraffe, they sometimes come up of eBay but I haven't seen one for a while.

Excellent repaint!

[brontodocus]

Absolutely, nice job. And thanks for the info, I feel the need to get me one of these, too.

Nile Crocodile






Llama





Gorilla


Lion Cub


Bison


I also ordered at the same time, the Papo Simmental bull, Yak and Camel - but they weren't in stock, so they will be sending them on later

Nice! I'm not a modern animal collector (actually, I'm not really a dinosaur collector either) but they look cool enough! ;D

Well, what are you then? Why are you here?

[neovenator08]

Well, I do have a few dinosaurs but they're mainly for Primeval Figure Adventures (link in my sig). I found this place while looking for more creatures, and it's a nice forum (and there's some generic dinosaur chat as well), so yeah.

Thanks! I mainly collect animal figurines - but I love dinosaurs too and collect the Papo ones.

Agreed on both counts. The Papo Nile crocodile is a thing of beauty. I couldn't stop admiring it when I first got it.
