ZZ Riesen - Leopards

I am very happy to present to you my first ZZ Riesen models

Two color versions of this beautiful model of leopard, made by a brand, which is still a little mystery for our community,
and which makes the models even more interesting for us .

Some of the models by ZZ are some kind of copies, of other vintage brands, but also some models are unique...
like this Leopard for example.

I got them from a German Ebay seller, which Yvette showed to us on This Topic
The seller has also many other ZZ models and according to his info, these models are from `70.

And I`m happy to share also, that the seller gave me a good offer, so now I`m waiting also : a ZZ Tiger, Lion and Bison

Ok, let`s see how I get these two models. They came in these small, plastic boxes :

What a great sculpted pose has this model
I just love the way it has a typical vintage look, with a bit stylized technique ... and in the same time, a very dynamic and life looking pose,
plus very well done anatomy of this wild cat.

Let`s see a small walkaround of the colored leopard :

Ahh, what a duo I have this Reisler Panther as a gift from Susanne and it is a very special to me. Love it !

And one last photo, with a model from a Major brand, the much younger Papo Black Jaguar, which I called with no worries :
a Black Leopard. And actually I think, it is one of the best Leopard replicas from major brands ... which is a bit funny, being called a Jaguar

So, here are my first two ZZ models
Thank`s for watching

Congratulations. The figures are beautiful. The comparison photos are really very useful.
I think you will especially like the bison too. Many thanks for the very informative pictures.

I agree with all your interesting comments that enrich this great review. Mainly that the figure is something special, a unique design with a expressive pose. Very wonderful pieces and I am looking forward to see your other ZZ figures. I added the leopard on TAI together with a link to this topic.

Beautiful leopards, and I agree with Roger, marvellous pose of these figures.

Amazing !!! Reallt wonderful models. Gems for your leopard collection

Thank you for your nice comments friends

Thank you Yvette, I can`t wait to see the Bison and the other models on real  
And you were right, I followed your advice to me, I asked the seller for a better offer and he gave me a good one

Thank you very much Andreas

For those interested in these beautiful figures, you can see at Toy Animal Wiki a good list of many of their Zoo figures. As you can see from the gallery linked, it is thanks to several members of this forum. I love the zebra, hippo and even the lion is nice.

Oh yes, I have this Lion and it is very very nice piece.
I`m impressed how good this model is .. On real, even more.
I have to take photos of it,...also of the Bison - original version ...
