Anyone got Golden Lion Tamarin from Papo?

Hey! I collect south american animals and my next goal is to find a good golden lion tamarin! I've seen this one from Papo, but I don't know if its size will match the rest of my collection (mainly Schleich, Papo and Safari), can anyone show me a picture of it with a cup, ruler or other figures so I know if it's worth buying it?

I have a big pet peeve with animals not matching sizes and the golden lion tamarin are supposed to be small lol

Jean-Luc got it as you can [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I only don't know if he will see your request. Not many people got it yet but I am sure a lot of us will acquire that figure and you'll have the chance of seeing its size.

Maybe this helps?

Here is my Papo lion tamarin on my ungulate shelf and on my feline shelf.
As you can see, it is pretty big in comparison.

It might be a 'smaller' figure, but there is no way you will find one 1:1 with typical animals. That would just be too tiny I'm afraid.

I think you mean in scale with typical animal figures. a golden lion tamarin in 1:1 scale would be huge!
Having animals in scale is often an illusion, it is rarely possible, maybe we can keep only a certain illusion where a smaller animal is slightly smaller than a larger animal even when the difference in size can be dramatic. It was exaustively discussed on forum already. The Papo is probably the closest option to match with figures from other major brands but there are several smaller ones that could be seen on Toy Animal Wiki. I have the Nayab figure and it is really small.

yes, in scale with other animals, thanks.

That is awesome! Thank you all for all your answers!

Welcome to the club of collectors that wanted to have a well scaled collection of animals fitting together, but that can't do it because brands do every species in a different scale! I think that finally we all end relaxing our scale acceptance, at least a bit. If I would put my CollectA fennec fox with my Papo elephant seal together, I would have a pig-sized fennec or a sheep-sized elephant seal, depending of which one you choose for compare

Certainly, the Papo golden lion tamarin is the size of a big male howler monkey. Too strikingly ginormous for accept it in my collection.

This is the slightly smaller model by Kaiyodo.
