I came across some Tip-Toy animals at a shop in Leeuwarden.
The big orange interactive dot is on some animals quite big.
But I couldn't resist this little fella.

And at a other store I came across these Schleich look a likes:

Don't know the brand. But these animals are hard plastic and quite detailed.
I thought I saw the foal as a Schleich, but couldn't remember.

So this is it, thanks for looking

Marvellous chiru of Collecta.

Congratulations again Karin, and i see you bought some of the new CollectA must haves! :)

Thanks It is indeed a lovely model.

PS: I thought so to, but the foal is just the opposite of the pose. (Spiegelbeeld)
The colors are the same though...

Hello again everyone!

Today I got a package from Brett and I have two new trades to show you.

Lets begin with the two trades, from Paige and Lance!

Paige wanted a few old Schleich figures from the big lot.
She was so excited that she already had some animals from my WL in her possession.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Pretty bunch <3 CollectA Giant Eland Antelope, Mute Swan, Tasmanian Devil and Cassowary and 3 dolphins who are SeaWorld copies of the PV models.
The CollectA's are, as always, very beautiful made.
Mute Swan puffs up his feathers to make sure no one comes near his chicks and female.
The Cassowary needs a hot shower, as he tumbles over sometimes.
The blue dolphin, marked as Atlantic Humpbacked Dolphin SeaWorld, I also have as a PV model and as PV he is marked as a Bottle-nose Dolphin. XD

Thank you Paige

Next are two Kaiyodo Koi fish from Lance, as I traded some PV with him.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Excellent condition! <3 And the golden one is so shiny
Thank you Lance, now my collection has some extra fish :3

I always look forward to the packages from Brett. He knows the best finds and the quality of the animals is just superb It takes a few weeks, but when the package arrives, the waiting will be rewarded!

I am extremely happy with all of them.
But the Kaiyodo Naked Molrat and Shoebill and the Zoozoozoo cat are so new to my collection.
Mostly I prefer my cats in a natural pose... Oke, for some cats this is a natural pose

Thank you Brett, always a big pleasure to buy from you
Next I hope for the new Kaiyodo Olw set, as I have the first one also

Wonderful additions again Karin, i also got from Brett the Kitan sparrow :)

That is an Indian Pitta bird, from Kaiyodo.
The snake is a four lined striped rat snake, if I am right. :)

Yes and yes :)

Great models Karin, all of them are very interesting and nice made it.
Congratulations for them :)

Great batch Karin, you have excellent taste

Very very cool new guys Karin. Congrats

Lovely newcomers Karin!

Great newcomers! Congrats again. And sorry about the cassowary, he was a little tipsy when he stood on my desk, and if the package he was in got a little battered it probably didn't help at all. Just glad that they came safely though.

Thanks Paige! No problems at all He is not that bad actually XD
The package arrived save and sound
I'm very happy with all of them and I am looking forward to the next trade (PMed you ).

I agree with Kiki there, You have such a nice taste Karin!
I love the kaiyodo snake and ofcourse the cat! (i have one who,very sometimes, sits in this position ) The swan and tasmanian devil are also still on my WL! and the fish and shoebill...
I can imagine how nice and beautiful your collection cabinet looks now!
Congrats on the nice new figures!!!

Congrats with all your new animals. I must say, you have a great talent for finding interesting models! That fat sleepy cat - some years ago I had a ginger and white Tomcat who often was sitting just like that!

The tree sparrow is a beauty and very well made. I have lots of these in my garden in winter where I feed them. The model looks exactly like the real birds.

Even the "ugly" (no animals are ugly!!) naked mole rat is beautiful. And of course all the others! Thanks for showing them.

Oh Karin, such wonderful additions! Congratulations! I see it's really time to visit Gone With The Wind again.. Look at that kiwi Well done!

Oh my gosh that sitting cat lovely additions Karin! Ive always loved that collects swan ü oxo

Thank you all dear fiends :3

*sniff* I have been sick all week. Running nose, headache, sore throat, etc >.<
I'm feeling better today, so I though it was a good idea to feel even better to share my latest trades with you all

Two trades came in this week, two other trades I'm awaiting next week or so.

The two trades I present to you this time are from our Julie and Lance  

Julie made a fantastic package! I was feeling all ill and sore the day the package came in.
Just 20 minutes out of bed, when the doorbell rang. Wild young dog barking like crazy:'There is someone at the door!!!' *my head!* Walking like a zombie to the door, even the postman wasn't so sure what to do with me XD

After setting some tea I slowly walked to the couch and beginning opening up the package.
A big smile appear on my face when seeing the animals and stuff she put in the package.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

A happy card, two sticker sheets and a lot of cute and beautiful animals. The Papo Newfoundlander dog, the Llama and the Mouflon where all on my WL, the rest was a total surprise!

I felt a little better that day <3

Next trade was from Lance. He wanted to trade the Minke Schleich whale, but when he said for what, I was thinking me made a joke... First I was like: What else do you have? o.0 I couldn't believe for what he wanted the trade the whale.... Curious, look at this!

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Oooohhh, my goodness!
My first Safari LTD Vanishing wild animal! A beautiful, stunning baby giraffe  
Sorry Lance I was such a pain this time trading XD    

Thank you both for making me feel better when I was sick and for the amazing animals for my collection.

Oh lovely! Congrats on the new additions.

Hope you're feeling better soon,Karin!

Great parcel from Julie
I love the Papo Newfoundlander and the others are very nice too.
And this giraffe is great model.
Congrats for them Karin. And it`s time the illnes to go far away from you.
I wish you tommorow, to feel beter than today

Ooh they are gorgeous, congratulations Karin! Lovely baby giraffe

I hope you feel better soon! Being sick is no fun

I'm so glad everything arrived safely And that you're happy with your package! And the Safari Ltd Vanishing Wild giraffe looks adorable <3 Congratulations! I'd love to have the wolves one day, but they're so hard to get..

And I really hope the illness is over soon!

This llama is very impressive, muflon is elegant.

congratulations.

Congratulations!!

Beautiful additions Karin

Nice adds Karin The baby giraffe is wonderful

Congratz on the new additions
like that lama

Thank you guys, you are the best! I'm feeling all better now

Yesterday we went to Haarlem, to investigate the shop where Julie got [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Kaiyodo animals!

And there I got 6 capsules containing these:
(I also got a white bird, but because I have it double I let it stay in the capsule till I decide what I will do with it )

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I got all hyped up when I got all these out of the capsules <3

After shopping in Meneer Paprika (What an awesome shop!), we decided we had some time left to go to other shops
And in one: Sjakies Small (Can't find any site...) we found an other set of Kaiyodo capsules: Pets!

I 'only' got 3 of them and I was all hyped up (again) to find an other set of the Kaiyodo capsules in a different shop.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I still can't believe that we found these here in the Netherlands. Thanks to Julie I have some very nice Kaiyodo capsule animals in my collection

Oh beautiful!

Congrats! Remember the lying cat I gave you?? It was from the same capsules but in Amsterdam! Love the deer <3

But Karin, I have a question!   How do you get so much awesome Kaiyodo here in the Netherlands??

I am thinking about collecting some of it, too   (They are so detailed and don't need much space    )

Thanks How can I forget, he is lying next to a friend between my cats
Really? o.0 Wauw! So those capsules are also in Amsterdam, interesting!!

One half I get by trades, the other half I buy via Brett. He can get almost every animal by Kaiyodo or other Japanese brands. He works via mails and via sources he has in Japan. In the beginning it took me some time to get use to the way things work, but I think with the help of your parents it would be a lot easier So all of my Japanese animals come from other counties Except for the ones I just bought in Haarlem :)

Yes, they are very detailed!
Most of them are very interesting species and they don't take a lot of room.
Just be careful, they can be an addiction XD

Hurray, I was really looking forward to see what species you got in Haarlem! Congratulations Karin, I'm glad I could help you out with Meneer Paprika and it's really awesome you found another shop selling Kaiyodo yourself I especially love your great spotted woodpecker; I'd love to add this to my collection as well, some day. Congrats! ^^

AMAZING finds, - and then to find them in Holland
That bullfrog is ever so charming, and the Shrew ... and woodpecker, and ...and...I have that little fawn also, I love it

PS, - are they also sold in a chocolate-thing ? like Kinder-eggs ? What does it look like/taste like ?

They're sold like [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. A plastic egg in plastic attached to a cardboard holder. So no chocolate this time

Thank you Susanne.  
Luckily no chocolate, otherwise I would have eaten them all to quickly to see the animals inside

Last weekend I went to two zoos! Lucky me
Of course I couldn't leave without shopping in the souvenirs shop.
One zoo has only Primates (and some birds and small mammals) but mostly primates.
Apenheul for the Dutchies.

So the following set may be of interest in some of you, as there are some really interesting species between them.
I don't know all of them, so if anyone knows them, please comment :3

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Next zoo was a big zoo, Burgers Zoo!
So many great species, but not much interesting in their souvenirs shops.
Although I couldn't let this fella stay there

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Just as big as the Papo wolf and made out of polystone.

Warning! Great new animals in the following photos!
