Aha! My local Walmart finally got the new boxes in so I bought four of them. I'm quite happy with the three animals I got and the "yopter" figure (my niece will enjoy the latter for me). I will try to post photos as soon as I can, at least two of the three should be interesting to you guys.

That's fantastic! I am eager to see them! Will you collect them all? If so, maybe we can start already a page on TAI with your pictures.

Great to hear they've been released! I'm looking forward to see your picutres, Paige

Roger, of course I will collect them all! I enjoy them too much. I will try to post photos and send them to to a moderator for TAI hopefully this weekend.

Great, thank you! TAI will have another blue gallery!

I'm happy to see a new US series! Like the Red Panda and Sun Bear, and it's good to see a couple of Aussie inclusions, the Tassie Devil and the Numbat, as I'm in Australia. I still need to get an Eric and one more Eagle and Palila for my previous sets if anyone can help! Hopefully I will be able to build a Rescue series set also with some help :-) I have heaps of Aussie ones to swap with and even quite a lot of US 1 and US 2 swaps. Please feel free to message me!

Well its past october 1rst and i have not seen any of these new Yowies for sale anywhere. All the baxes they come in are marked North American Collection Still

I've gotten 5 different animal models thus far, but am not able to post photos yet. I'm working on it... :)

My Walmart finally got series 3! Here are a few photos of the four animals I got. I also got a few duplicates... I'm hoping to get a few more Yowies next weekend, assuming they put new boxes out.    

Southern ground hornbill:



Chimpanzee:



Numbat:






Hippo:

Omg. I've been waiting for my Walmart to put them out! This series is really gorgeous! Especially love that hornbill!

Thanks for the photos!

Beautieful figurines :)

I know I promised these a long time ago but I've had trouble with my phone communicating with my computer and then on top of it I haven't found an image hosting site I'm totally in love with. But nevertheless, here are the ones I have found so far!
Lion


camel


Sun bear


Hornbill



Hippo


gorilla


Rhino


Numbat


gibbon


And my favorite, pangolin


The series in my opinion is a rather nice one, I like the models and cant wait to see others from the series for myself. What do you guys think?

These are very nice figurines!! And i see 2 of my wishes :)

Wonderful Paige, now another beautiful blue gallery is growing on TAI!
What I think? It is important to notice that these are figures that we can find inside of a chcolat egg. It explains their ratter simple design, quite noticiable in figures like the lion. Though, I find most of them really nice and all very decent representatives of the respective species. The concept is perfect once it is quite educational and put children aware of these animals and why they are endangered. The group of species is intelligently built. We can find common animals that warrant a certain level of apeallingness to the traditional customer and we find some really obscure species. From the lot I entered on TAI, the hornbill is just the first of its species on whole TAI. The Chinese pangolin is really another very interesting species and also my favorite among this batch, together with the numbat. I hope I can get these two for my collection.

I might be able to help you roger with those two figures.

Thanks, it is very appreciated.

Oh wow! I love collecting these little critters. I hope that my local walmart has stocked up on them!

Welcome here :)

I just got the elephant and the chimp, I will try to post photos tomorrow since it's dark here now.

It's great to see some pictures of the real figurines! Good luck with collecting! I'm still hoping for Yowie to sell their products in Europe!

That would be very nice, but I don´t have a lot of hope. So I hope that our US-friends will get a lot of those figurines to share them with us
I don´t understand why Kinderüberraschung from Ferrero doesn´t have a collection like those US/UK-yowies or even the wonderful australian collection.

That's such a pity! I contacted them on Instagram a while back. They said they'd keep Europe in mind. Such a pity to hear that it isn't going to happen

Hopefully their success in the US and Oz will prompt them to expand soon.
