I'll put more pics up when we get the paint samples back from the factory  Diprotodon has been sent to the factory this week for first stage of the mould making process.

Thanks Donny, looking forward to showing it off properly!

I can't wait to get one !!!!
A fantastic choice of animal, and I am sure it is a fantastic model

I agree with Susanne.

Will it be at the same scale than your previous models?

That is a wonderful surprise Jason
The Perentie is so beautiful creature and your model looks that will be , like Roger said : the next masterpiece of the Southlands collection.
I know how much Kiki want`s a model of Perentie and how happy he, and many of us will be

So, great choice and I already can see a wonderful work on this model

Yes: 1:15 scale based on a 2.4m adult male

Thanks Kosta - so pleased you like it!

So, Southlands has recently teased a Wedge Tailed Eagle figure, Looks pretty good. I especially like the added snake prey.

The next must have for a specie collector :)

For this job you need a lot of patience.

Southlands keep developing excellent ideas and and remaining our collecting fever untouchable.

In addition to the perentie, diprotodon and wedge-tailed eagle, there's an emu coming too...

Looking good so far I personally plan on acquiring the Perentie and Wedge-Tailed Eagle at some point in the future.

Hi friends, we released our first proper images of the Perentie on Facebook this morning, but in keeping with my great respect for the STS community I'm now showing the world first images of our Emu and Wedgetail Eagle factory samples. Of course there are still some very minor refinements to come (as you'll see in the first image of the emu face) but you will find the finished product very similar to the photos here. I hope you enjoy ..

First - the Emu (male)









Now the Wedgetail Eagle with Brown Snake...









and finally the Perentie for those who haven't yet seen it..

Wow!!! A must have! They look fantastic.

Not bad at all but I still prefer the Mojo emu... The SR emu has too short and too thick legs, the caudal part looks like more than African ostrich than emu. The eagle is great unlike the snake - the snake looks too toyish (with oversized and thick teeth) and I don´t like the glued head... The perentie is super!

Amazing work. When will they be available on MiniZoo ? I saw the site Modellpferdeversand has your brand now, and it is easier for me to buy there :) I'm happy your brand get distribuated even in Europe. And for the diprotodon, when will it be available ? :)

I love all 3 but the emu is my favorite beautiful and so detailed, amazing work!
And the paintwork on all of them is excellent

Great work, I'm especially fond of the perentie.

Marvellous birds, really esplendid.

Big congratulations.

These are excellent figures! I'm especially impressed by how close the factory pieces resemble the prototypes. I love the dramatic poses on the eagle and perentie as well.

I should apologise for the bad angle of the Emu photo - please see below images with comparison of Mojo with the picture taken from 'ground level' as opposed to the other images which are slightly looking down. Keep in mind that PVC (and especially bipedal) figurines unfortunately need to have the legs thickened slightly to support the top heavy weight, otherwise they would never stand upright

About 2-3 months I hope for sale - we are just finalising the last paint corrections and about to approve manufacture. Diprotodon is hopefully in time for Christmas  

Thanks for your kind words also Zirkoon, Ana, Halechoeres, Fernando and Barracudcat
