Pipsxlch's Finds

Wonderful finds, especially that worrt!
It must have been so fun to dig out all these lovely figures, the dinosaurs have so much detail! The flea market finds are interesting too, you're always so good at finding nice figures in places like this!
I think the smilodon is from the film Ice Age, which would explain the earrings- you can see a photo here! [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Nice finds and additions!!

It's been quite awhile since I've had time to go fleamarketing- none nearby anymore!- or even thrifting. No luck there when I have gone. But I did well at Christmas.

Then my husband got me this lot of unidentified goldfish figures I had admired on eBay, along with a cloissone ornament. Big thanks! Great Christmas.

What a splendid Christmas! Each model is fantastic. Congratulations!

Especially the different goldfishes are great :)

That must have been a wonderful Christmas, stunning PNSO model! And the goldfish are perfect for you!

Very fine catches Gifts 

The Corythosaurus is a real wonderful beauty and the Goldfishes crew is a beautiful mystery 

Really great Christmas, those are what I call Solide Gold Aquatics.
PNSO model is a huge gift and one more set of goldfish for your already populated collection.

Ooh, lovely selection! I look forward to seeing the PNSO out of the box, I'm not at all familiar with their back-catalogue of models (I came here from horse collecting, there's so many brands which are new to me) and seeing people introduce their own arrivals, with opinions and photos, is way more interesting and informative to me than just looking up the company's catalogue shots online.

The goldfish are a wonderful find, too, I don't know what's the most satisfying really - getting hold of something from a known brand which you've been hoping/planning for and finally achieve, or something like this totally out of the blue which you didn't know existed and would never have known to go searching for.

Superb additions especially the goldfish set!!!congrats!!

Congrats pipsxich!

Those fish are all beautiful, congrats!! I don't know my goldfish terms, but the black, white, and gold one in the center is my favorite.

This lot is marvellous. Variety and nice colors.

Congratulations.

Hahaha! I didn't get the goldfish from Solid Gold ( I think, since it was eBay) but hers came from the same people the person I got mine from bought them from. The Solid Gold site led me to Dandy Orandas, the US importer. They give a little history on their website.

Here's Caroline! I don't name my figures, but am fine with it if they come with one. The paint scheme would be good camouflage!

And a quick comparison shot of the new Oranda with a few of the more familiar Japanese/Chinese models. The Yujin and JPC models are about the same size, the Wing Mau noticeably smaller, and this new one noticeably larger. Size isn't a real concern for me fortunately.

The new goldfish are wonderful. I didn't realise that there are goldfish in so many different colours and shapes.

Kelly I would LOVE to see a walk around of your goldfish collection someday! These Orandas are gorgeous and given that goldfish can get quite big I think the new one fits in well! The paint scheme on the PNSO is stunning as well!

I am not sure I wanted you to get my Solide joke.

Paige, I haven't sent my goldies to the storage unit with the rest of my treasureds so that I can get you that walkaround- someday, when I find time!

I got a few things for my birthday- Mom got me another PNSO, Audrey the Lambeosaur, which I have already put in the storage unit but will retrieve for a pic. Mom sold her house and has to get out, so I'm there every day saving stuff for her. I bought myself some Safaris also.

Bowhead and right whales- I didn't remove things from their bags as I put them away, but the right whale escaped

A couple eBay figures, apparently characters from the program Adult Swim.

This tiny beautiful dwarf gourami figure is apparently an accessory to an action figure from a video game.

As I'm cleaning out my mom's garage, I found a few more figures. A 1983 Schleich rooster and a Playskool retriever.

Finding this beauty made me happy!

Found a few last things (I think last) today, they're in the car. Nothing spectacular,  but a few decent things. The number of My Little Ponies was mindboggling.

So many fun things! The Koi, gourami, and plesio are especially fantastic!

Wonderful additions, especially the fishes. Have the harlequin tusk moveable parts?

The Playskool retriever is absolutely gorgeous! I had never seen this dog before!

Great additions!!!

I wonder what's the idea of storing a Retriever together with a huge rooster. Nevertheless, I am glad you retrieved all these models.

After the better part of 20 years together, guess they're good friends now!

Andreas, the tusk doesn't have moveable parts. I put a link to the auction I bought the gourami from in the 'Pictures for TAW' thread for you, I think you would like this model!
