[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] - so sorry for the delay on the Vitacup animal pics. I used my professional camera to take clear photos of them. When I went to upload them for cropping and editing, my computer is not recognizing the camera's SD card. I'm currently having the computer fixed and should have it back up and running in a few days.

Plaho figures in very good condition, you've found them really quickly.
Tree House Kids puma! This one is not even at the Wiki. That is a beautiful figure actually!

I like tree house kids animals.

this puma is really nice.

I need kudu and impala of this brand.

Phantastic additions :)

Nice batch , The Treehouse has beautiful eyes and the Elastolin collie is in very very good shape

Could you make two wakarounds of those ones?

I also would love to see a walk-around of the Elastolin collie, because I am doubting if it is a collie or a border collie XD (Maybe to much chest fluff and a pointed nose, but other than that it could be a BC XD)

The others are beautiful also!

Nice models-Like the Plaho ones-I have the foxes but they are a different colour and my wolf is the black version.I only have a standing lion and lioness so will need to look out for the lying lion and cubs!Great that you can find them in an antique shop-wish the ones near me did models like those!

I was surprised to find this puma as I have never seen it before. When I first bought the lot of animals it was in, I assumed it was a rare k&m model since the style is somewhat similar. But I was surprised to find it was actually a Tree House Kids replica. From what I've seen in the past, Tree house kids models are usually just knock offs of other popular toy animal replica companies. I've had a few of their horses in possession that were actually copies of Schleich's older horse models. So I was very surprised indeed to find this one not to be a knock off of another puma replica!

This puma is a very nice replica indeed. I had the Kudu model a while back but sold it in a lot on eBay! Had I joined this site a little sooner, I would have given it to you!

Thank you! I am posting two walkarounds right after this post!

Thanks! I don't think its a border collie (mainly because of the structure of the head and muzzle) but l'll gladly post a walkaround of this one.

Thank you! Lucky you have the black wolf! I am still searching for that one. I've found a couple listings on the german ebay but the sellers don't accept PayPal or ship to the US.
Ooo! A standing lion?! I didn't know that they had a standing one! I'll have to keep an eye out for that one! Best of luck getting the cubs and the lying lion. I've seen quite a few up for grabs on the german ebay!

Oh, and my newest addition, the Chap Mei interesting-looking half lynx half caracal half leopard replica. I'm going to be shortening the tail a bit on this one and custom painting her to look like a caracal since the face screams caracal! XD [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Oh, I really don't know what to do with your two great walk arounds, they could easily be two new topics. I'll let the hot potato to Kiki this time.
What a wonderful face this pum has, it is so wonderful and far smaller than I expected. I really didn't mind to have one of these in my collection. About Karin, I think she is having the same virus as I have, the only difference is that I see foxes everywhere and she sees border collies.
As a last note, a recomendation from an old croc that loves realistic figures as much as you but that also loves crazy figures. Your caracalynx seems in very good condition, it is also an unusual variation among several we can find under this mold. We have two on TAI, one representing a bobcat with leg strips and another representing a snow leopard. Yours is still another variation. Cutting the tail will not make it look like a realistic rendition of any cat species and preserving it will keep the original bizarreness of a Chap Mei figure... and if it is not bizarre, it is not a Chap Mei. However, choice is yours.

Lol, I never knew there were so many variations of these chap mei felines! Since mine is another variant then I'll leave it alone, (although the thought of a custom paint job is still tempting!)

wow, Loving the vintage lions from plaho!!
I am stalking this topic for awhile now, not sure why I never commented yet..  

But I think you have a great taste in figures!!    looking forward to see more additions!

Found this one on Etsy and was super excited to see its a K &M Red Wolf...although it looks a lot like a red wolf pup. Has some paint loss that I'll be touching up but she is quite cute![You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

That is a pup to a small family, I have the other one and the mother is a larger model. Big congrats!

Exactly, it belongs to the same series as the fennec I am missing in my collection.
It was released in 1998 and you can see the complete family here. It seems there are no limits to your hunting abilities.

Oooh hurray, I should keep a look out on Etsy in the future.. Congratulations with this gem! I own the mother, but I really hope to catch her both pups one day as well

Big congratulations, what is etsy?

Etsy is a site where people can sell their 'unique products'. Most of the time this are all kind of art/creative products, but you can find animal figurines as well. You can find Etsy here.

Big congratulations for all the wonderful additions!

aditions beautiful thank you for the pictures

Thank you! I am definitely going to have to keep an eye out for the other two! I never knew K&M had these!

Thanks Roger! My heart melted when I saw the mother and the other pup in the link you sent me! I will certainly have to do some elaborate hunting for those two.

Thank you! I never knew K&M had released these before and I will definitely be on the lookout for those other two! It seems between you and me and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] we each have at least one of this set!

Thank you! Etsy is mainly a site for artists and others to sell unique handcrafted items, but like what [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] said, you can sometimes find animal figures up for grabs there too.
