Roger's Collection of Foxes - 26th March 2024, a very stubborn fox!

Thanks friends and thanks Anna for sharing the link!

Another ultra rare lead fox that joined my collection is the Blancherie Frères fox running.
It was released in 1920, a 100 years old model!!! This very old French figure was a fantastic gift from Christophe [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and it is one more jewel in my collection.!

Here a comparison picture with the Johilco Fox. We can see that the size depends clearly of how successful hunters they are.

Yes Roger, I have the Eikoh, one of my favorite and the model I recomend to everyone.
I always update the first page of this topic as long I'm posting.
Here a comparison picture with fennecs roughly at the same scale.
... is there a favorite one?

CollectA, Yowie USA, Ale, Papo, Eikoh, Schleich, Yowie AU.

Lovely batch Rogério  I stupidely missed the Papo Fennec and now it would cost an arm to get one 

For a 1/15 scale collector, the Starlux is perfect 

I love your last lead foxes, I can't remember why  

Christophe, I know perfectly why you love the lead ones.
The bad news I can give about the Papo is that I tried, more than one year ago to find one on local shops to someone on forum and I couldn't find it anywhere.

It seems like fox hunting sets used to be quite popular. I think Britains also made a set in metal; I don't know what their fox looked like.

You can see the Britains foxes in this [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Actually, the lead one looks like the Blancheries Frères I've just posted on this page.

Today's fox is very intringuing, it is the third variation of this mould in my collection.
Durolin fox in black!!! I have no idea if it is a legit figure or someone's idea but I like having it.
It is again a gift from Isabella [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

Inredibly beautyful and precious 100-year old
And together with the johilco

Your collection becomes more and more fantastic!
Even THREE different Durolin foxes

Wow, 100 years old, so rare! And 3 Durolins, that's amazing too!

The Durolin are even far better when they are three 

Fantastic additions!!!

Interesting colour variations :)

This little fox with the stand is a resin printing from the model produced by Critit,
It is originally blank so Isabella [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] painted it for me!
It all started as a trade hyenas/foxes but Isabella included so many gifts and this one was a complete surprise.
The fact she painted it turns it one of the most special figures in my collection.
It is really a very good job for such a small figurine and those are the occasions that the fact I can't take good pictures is sometimes so frustrating.

To give you an idea how small it is, here's a comparison picture with the Mojö Fun model.

Beautiful and a great gift, hurray for Isabella 

This model is lovely. And it is very rare.

Great adquisition,

What an amazing, wonderful gift

Isabella is such a wonderful person, but I didn't know that she is also a great artist

Congratulations with this gorgeous tiny beauty

That's a beautiful fox. It's so small, the detail that Isabella has given it is incredible.

Nice little fox

Thanks, friends! Less spectacular is the SEEK Fox but you already know these humble models have a very special place in my collection.
What do I know about SEEK? Absolutely nothing. Any help?
I believe Kelly mentioned something about it but I can't find.
Another gift from Isabella [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

Are they called SEEK because you can't find any information? Not a bad fox, but why does it have SEEK on its back?

You found that fox

There are a few more figures but all are "marked" with a other word

Roger yes, I don't know, I need to find it but now Andreas gave us some light. Yes, it is not even a brand name, a series where different animals have different words.

It is a truely lovely model

Could it be a Tibetan fox ?

Thanks everyone! Susanne, very interesting observation, I will show a different picture later

Today I received my first fox of the year but first I need to complete the presentations of the last year.
Now a family of little resin figures for Fairy gardens.
These are courtesy of our Bulgarian friend Kosta and you can find more information in this link.

Susanne, I understand what you mean, both have a foxy smile in a square face. Curiously, what is more intringuing about the SEEK fox is its conspicuous blaktiped tail, very different from a Tybetan fox but also quite different from a red fox that almost invariably has a whitetipe tail.
Grey foxes have blacktiped tails but this fox doesn't look like one.
OK, that's a funny model, not accurate but what's really the meaning of this model?
Below a comparison with the Naturally Adorkable Tybetan fox.

Congrats!!!

The fairy gardens style isn't exactly my cup of tea but these foxes are cute
