PNSO Thompson's Gazelle Photos

The new PNSO Thompson's Gazelle arrived this morning and it is smaller than what I expected in comparison to the other range released earlier in the year (Fennec, baby elephant etc).  

The gazelle is in the Schleich scale and quite lovely.  I cannot quite bring myself to open it from its packaging so the following photos will have to do for now. I likeit very much but the colour could have been a little lighter and that front leg twist one way a tad bit too far but all in all a nice model. I cannot wait to buy the full box set of this and the Oceanian animals:

Nice Gazelle :)

Thanks for showing Numaan! I find the gazelle and cheetah particularly interesting in this series. Fortunately they are smaller than the others you mentioned. I hope you will show also pictures of that figure out of the blister and preferrably compared with a known counterpart. The way they are packaged also explains a little why they can use so unconventional poses.

Where did you bought it please?
I was just about to buy it today from MiniZoo but a collector friend just caught the last one two days ago and now I can't find any place that sells the gazelle at same or cheaper price, only more expensive ones.

What a beauty

In my list of course, it is very nice model.

Hi! Wery nice this one. I'm waiting mine (coming from Australia) but have some doubts about its stability...
Does it stand well?
Also, if you have finally decided to open it, could you please post some photos?
Thanks!

And here he is

I bought this gazelle.
Unfortunately its legs are too thin and soft so it's unstable and easily fall down! I don't know how to strengthen legs

The only way to harden pvc is softening it first but be cautious because you can damage the figure. You can put the legs of the figure in very hot water to soften them, after it, you have to find a way to reshape them to a correct position. Then, you put the figure in very cold water. Think very well first how it works, also how you will make it cool down without losing the shape and be aware that it does not always work.

I did exactly what you said.
but it only works about 3 hours and again it falls!
Do you have PNSO Gazelle?
I haven't seen legs that are sothin & soft like this before

I don't have PNSO gazelle.However, I can see the legs are very thin and realistic but sometimes that's the price we pay to have delicate figures which do not break easily. That's the reason why most major brands make these animals with thicker legs or just avoid them. I have this kind of problem since I am from a warm country and sometimes even CollectA models suffer a little.
