Thanks, Harriet. I have put them on my watch-list and hope to get room for some more Safries in my toy-budget

I bought the Safari Puma a few days ago, I often thought about getting the Papo one but I was never keen on it's pose. But I love the Safari one! I think I'm going to repaint him, but the sculpt is very nice:

and here's the WW Safari Tiger I got for £2.50 on eBay he has a few rubs, but you can't go wrong at that price!

It's curious! I was thinking in Safari puma! Could you please take a comparison picture with a Schleich leopard or so?
...and congratulations for your tiger, it is really a nice find!

They are gorgeous, Harriet

The tiger is almost - but only almost - as nice as your remake tiger

I never noticed that puma before, now it just roared into my wishlist

Thanks for great photoes and congratulations with the wonderful figueres

PS, if you repaint the puma, can we see a picture, please

Beautiful animals, congrats

Ah, I forgot to add the comparison picture, I took one with the Papo Tiger, is that OK? I can take one with the Papo Jaguar tomorrow if you like

That's OK once I don't have the Papo jag! Thanks Harriet, I never noticed how small Papo tiger was!!!

Yes, I do have the Papo tiger but mine is much bigger than my puma (also Papo)
I have the leopard (regular version) and for a jaguar I have the Schleich even I think the Papo is beautiful! :) I also like the Schleich leopard but I only have the old version!

Congratulation Harriet

I want that puma now

I agree with Susanne, the WW tiger is wonderful, nearly as wonderful as your custom tiger

Thank you Christophe

Yes the custom does look similar to the WW one :)

Your custom looks 10 times better, trust me!
I like that puma. I may buy it too!

Can you please post another pic of your custom tiger?

Thank you Mihnea

I didn't repaint the ww tiger - I will though as it has a few rubs, but here is the tiger that everyone was talking about

Along with the Yowies, I got a few Safari ltd models, which I didn't know were safari until I'd received them - so it was a nice surprise! Are they from a set as they are quite small?

They are from the Authentics Rainforest series :-)

Congratulations Harriet for all these new figures!
Is it as small as toobs figures? The anteater as the same flaw in front paws than the rain forest toob anteater! Probably are the same!

I like the Emerald tree boa! Descent figure!

Good question, Roger

I would also very much like to know if they are toob-size ?
Does anybody have both ?

My impression is that these are larger, - they are the same size as the other Authentics ( the ones that Schleich sold )

Thank you all
Thanks for the info Susanne, the set is almost complete then, as I have that little jaguar, only missing the snake. They all look brand new, they can't have been played with at all.
I don't know how small the toob figurines are, I've never had any myself
