Hello, Alarikh, and wellcome here

I look very much forward to see your collection

Great additions Roger, congratulations!

Thanks Fernando, Paige, Adam, Susanne and Tim!

the third one is great!

3 so wonderful , old storytellers, from the qween of composition models :))
Hurray for Yvette !      
The Durolin fox look`s very nice, with condition like a new model.
The Elastolin polar fox, wow, can you imagine ... 100 years old
And of course this sooo beautiful Lineol one... even it is your 3-th one, it is the big star :)

And the Schleich one, even not that old, it is also a vintage and with very special charm .
Congratulations Roger

Roger, I am very happy, that these partly very old and rare foxes have found their way to Portugal.
It´s a interesting group of very different models. Starting with the very rare polar fox by Elastolin to the modern advertising figure by Schleich.
As Kosta has already noticed, the fox by Durolin is in a very good condition and is a particularly beautiful model.
The modern fox by Schleich is also a rare model. It is an advertising figure for the company Behring.
The figure is marked with "W. Germany". So it was made before 1989, when Germany was still divided into West and East Germany (DDR).

vvToday after a few unfortunate lost packages, I've received a fantastic box full of gifts from Susanne. What better to put a croc happy again?
Among many wonderful figures I will show later on my Arrival's topic, there were these foxes!
The Safari model, very beautiful, is now the largest of my collection and it has a beautiful weight of 222g.

Thanks Yvette, I will remember to update it on the begining of the topic.
I've seen these big letters about Behring in that fox but I haven't searched it exaustively.
When we are correctly informed about a certain figure, it turns immediately the collectible more interesting.

I knew that Susanne had prepare this beautiful Safari fox for you and here it is.
I also have it and I really like it. One of your biggest fox models :)
But I had no idea about these Wooden foxes.
They are really beautiful. Yes, I also like very much stylized models like these :)
Especially the smaller one look`s really nice.

Congratulations Roger and for Susanne :)

Wonderful foxes!!

I'm thinking of adding Wildlife Wonders and large Incredible Creatures into my collection to put on top of my shelves. Great additions Roger my favourites are the two wooden foxes.

How great that you like your new foxes , even if it took such a long and complicted trip for them to reach you

I am especially happy that others also like the wooden foxes
Perhaps they do not really fit in your collection, Roger, but now at least you have seen them

Congrats with the new Safari fox! It's my biggest one and what I especially like about it, that it's heavy.
Safari is making foxes of all sizes now   :

this is a minor comment, but thought forum members would like to know. The 'Wildlife Wonders' collection is now called 'Wild Wildlife' (still WW).

Thanks Kosta, Taylor, Adam, Susanne and great pyramid [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]! :faro:

I am aware that my friends are conspirating about my foxes!
I also love the smaller model, the way they worked the pose gives a very artistic touch to his figure.

I don't really know what fits in my collection, maybe a bottlecap, a kenyring, though, I am sure these wooden figures fit in my life as many other things I receive from my friends!

I received this booklet from Susanne with the 2020 releases and the Wildlife Wonders name is still htere. Have they changed it after Corona? The name seems to similar to their Wild Safari Wildlife series.

Well, this is what their website states: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Yhe knitted fox at last found a friend large enough for him to play with

Very nice photo by alarikh of this Fox pyramid

Oh and I like very much this playful plush fox, which likes to ride other foxes
Wow does Susanne really made it ? Well done Susanne !

And more I watch the smaller Wooden fox, more I like it. They catched this ''Foxy charm'' on this model very well :)

About Wildlife Wonders' collection , that is now called 'Wild Wildlife', it`s very strange...
But Blaine is right, on the website , they really called these models : 'Wild Wildlife' ..

what is odd, is that when the 2020 figures were first announced, it was called Wonderful Wildlife. So, in less than a year it went from Wildlife Wonders to Wonderful Wildlife to Wild Wildlife...

Hmm, I even didn`t know that ...
So maybe they are playing with ''WW'' , traying to find a new name ..
But Roger is right, the ''Wild Wildlife'' is really confusing. It`s almost the same with the ''Wild Safari Wildlife''
