Show-Us-Yours for February 2015 : GIRAFFES :-D

Here are my Britains Giraffes[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Absolutely wonderful! Britains giraffes give that correct impression of a very tall animal. Some more modern renditions just give the impression of very long-necked animals but the perception of height is not always correct.

Very nice

Kinder - press his tail and his head lifts!

Very cool!

Only the neck moves (manually) on this one which was a few years earlier (2000's?)

Edited . . . and the legs! The legs and neck move, but manually, like a swoppet!

Here is my Toy Concepts Animal Friends Giraffe with card. I bought it in Fall 1997.

Congratulations

My newly arrived NF Bendable Giraffe.

These are great :)

I´m very happy I have some long necks from Willy in my collection. So my collection became a home for small part of Willy´s collection

It is nice to see part of Willy's collection being curated by the right person. Willy and Torben were the first collectors of every toy animal figure I met on forum. It is a pity they do not collect anymore but their collections will always be a legacy to this hobby.
Valéries giraffe is very interesting, not necesarily as an accurate rendition but surely as a collectible representing this wonderful long-necked animal. Actually it reminds me a giraffatitan.
OK, this is a Brachiosaurus skeleton but nobody cares.

When you want to create a bendable figure, you cannot make them with the same bulk as they do in real life; to be able to move by the metal wire inside them, the limbs and body need to be thinner. It is an adjustment you need to do.

I know Valérie, I remember seeing Susanne's bendies and I think it makes them so special.

Suzanne has bendies? This I gotta see!
