The Safari ltd wildlife wonders African and Asian elephants, compared to the Schleich zebras, would you say that they were too large in proportion to the Zebras? Would they look silly together?

Why don't you take Bully and remodel his ears, I know you're capable to do it. You don't like it?

No, I don't like the bullyland one

The SAFARI WW African elephant is a very hughe model and his size seems correct with zebras.

The problem IMHO is the shape of the model, it is very bulky to be a tall elephant. Animals are like humans, taller ones have different shape than smaller.
Look at the proportion of the legs, head and body of this pics and compare them to the WWs one. IMHO real life tall elephant have a smaller head and the legs are more slim. For me the WW is a smaller elephant at a bigger scale.

Thank you Christophe, you answered my question perfectly! I love all those pictures of the real elephants too

That's what I thought... Before I saw him on a real shop display. it is better than my pics and, despite the ears, I love him very much.

Here is a topic review I made about him : [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I love your lower shelf display Christophe, all the animals look so lovely in scale with one another

Thank you Harriet But... What do you dislike in the upper shelve ?

No, I LOVE ! The upper shelf has some of my favourite models on. I just particularly like the lower one

...By the way Christophe, both shelves are very good. I especially like animals models "in scale" each other, but for sorry the most of all brands not following this principle even inside it,s lines-set models...

I don't know now seeing your pictures of the bullyland elephant again, I'm on the verge of changing my mind about it... but I really don't like it's ears. Nothing beats the Lineol of course, wish I had him, then I'd be very happy

I realy like both the papo´s and the safari elephant

I think I like them more than schleich, not just for beeing good sculpts, but also that they have more lively poses than the schleich ones.

Thanx for the beautiful pics

Oh and your shelves look jummy Those baboons, what brands are they???

I love papo elephant!      

Thank you ulinuk   

Looks like I got the wrong Papo elephant. How about the Mojo one, is it good?

    I don't have one
