Andrew's additions (Some "rarities")

Hi there!
Today finally arrived my precious Mojo's Grey Whale, so I will post pictures of all the cetaceans I was waiting for.
They all look superb one next to each other, except for the scale problem...

First, my new Safari's right whale. It is great!

Then, the Safari's Sei Whale. It is very well done, but is quiiiiiiiiiiiiite small. However it fits perfectly with the Schleich blue whale, so they are great when displayed together (sorry, I don't have a picture for that),

This is a well known, and I had doubts whether buy it or not but... here it is, my Blainville's beaked whale,

And, finally, the jewel in the crown, the Mojo's Grey Whale. I can say it's probably my best cetacean figure (and the best grey whale as far as I know, in my humble opinion)...

And this is how they look all together (sorry for the bad quality, I didn't realize the pics were so bad...)!

Very nice ! Looks like Mojo's grey whale is the exact same model as Schleich's 1:32 grey whale with better paintjob. Those moulds from Maia and Borges are definitely timeless.

Wonderful cetaceans, Andrew! Don't worry with scales because whales do not have scales, they're not fish! Just kidding, even the 1:32 scale Schleich whales did not respect the mentioned scale. Sometimes it is not very exciting that some old known moulds are reused but sometimes it is a bonus, especially when these are great figures as it is the Maia & Borges grey whale. Benjamin is correct, it is the same as Schleich used but with a updated painting.

Very nice array of whales, I still need to get my hands on the Safari right whale

Wonderful whales :)

Thank you all :)

Very nice pictures, congratulations.

Hi all!
Today I receive a small envelope with three special figures... They are not the most exciting ones but they are my first Yujin figures. Of course, I would have chosen others, but I had the opportunity to buy them second-handed from another spanish collector (which says that uses the forum from time to time to learn the news...). I hope to have similar chances in the future, since I think these brands are brilliant.

Unfortunately, he didn't had the bases and since I like bases (unlike Pardo ) I made some myself with sculpey. I have some problems with the painting because the paint I used was not so good but, meh, they are ok. So... I hope you like them :)

New additions will be coming soon (I think...)

Nice fishes :)

They are beautiful, I am ever so jealous

Finding Yujin animal figures in a Spanish website only could be from another collector. I know Incha and Tiopesao, are two sellers and also members on forum.
I think you did a great work, at least you've found a more pleasing way to display your figures according to your taste.

Thank you all!

Roger, as far as I know he is not any of those :)

Don't try to deny it this time : I know you are a freshwater fishes lover !

Hahahaha you got me! Nah, actually I'm really looking forward that Brett and his source start buying again so I can get the Yujin Saltwater Aquarium set

Thanks! I only regret having given the final lay to the "trunk" of the eel, as it's wood it should't be so shiny... but the rocks seem nice, like wet.

Very, very nice finds !!!!

And very, very nice photos

Hi there!
This morning a parcel from our colleague [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] arrived to me. It has been sooo easy and comfortable to buy from him, I totally recommend it :)

So, they are mostly Safari's, since it's a brand I cannot directly buy in a shop here in Spain.
Some nice birds to expand my aviary,

Another sea bird with our african doggy (a model I was really expecting!),

And a model I wasn't looking for but that surprise me a lot, my first one from the portuguese brand
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Ahh some great choices there indeed, and Maia & Borges are certainly a brand you should look into their figures are absolutely gorgeous, especially the waterfowl.

Some seriously great models you got there

Yes, M&B is a great brand, even if they mostly make comics-models ( which are nice too )

Nice additions

Hi! I'm not potsing all my additions because I have been quite bussy with work lately, but these two arrived today and I cannot stay without showing you!
Here in Spain kids (and not so kids) receive Christmas presents on the 6th of January, on the Epiphany and are carried by three Wise Men (though we call them three Magic Kings), who ride camels.
So, I present you Melchor, the first of them...

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Of course you all recognise the models :)

Excellent king and picture!
I missed your previous additions. It is good that you have a source to get your Safari Ltd models. They make so many great figures but they're always hard to get for us, European collectors.
I'm not sure your dolphin is your first M&B model, isn't your Mojö Fun grey whale made in Portugal too? If it is, it's also a M&B model even if it is Mojö Fun branded.

Ooh that's the newer colour of the camel, we could use it on the TAI

Mmm I will have to check my grey whale then!
Yes, its the new color scheme. I was expecting the old, to he honest, that's why I chose that shop (the picture showed the old version) but, meh, it's good anyway
