BEAUTY of BEASTS Amur Leopard Walkaround With Comparisons

I've been saving up funds as December is where I splurge on myself Ever since I found Qingyu's Etsy shop I could not stop looking at her Amur leopard figure... So I finally saved up to purchase it! I also bought her Canadian lynx as I couldn't resist!

Here is the walkaround for the Canadian lynx: https://sts-forum.forumieren.de/t23703-beauty-of-beasts-canadian-lynx-walkaround-with-comparisons

Amur leopards are second only to snow leopards for me, and with no good representations in the market this figure was a must have!!
And here is the absolute beauty! I was speechless when I opened her up.

Here next to CollectA's model. I personally don't really like the CollectA model at all, I don't think this figure is that good compared to their gorgeous antelopes. So I was even more excited to get Qingyu's leopard. Then some comparisons with CollectA and Schleich's African leopards. Qingyu's is quite taller and longer but the amazing details make it totally worth it. Then finally with my other BeautyofBeasts cats

I was very happy because the package was delivered first thing in the morning yesterday so I was able to run out and take photos. Unfortunately almost all the leaves have died and fallen by now but that made for the perfect habitat for the Amur leopard! I really wish we got snow more often, then I could get the perfect picture I really like how these came out she's just a perfect model for pictures and I'm obsessed with her pose. Such an elegant and powerful cat! I haven't seen images of them in trees but I'm almost positive they would be excellent climbers so I got some photos of her in a tree which I think turned out nice. Then I tried to figure out prey. I don't have any roe deer (coincidently I have the Schleich roe deer family coming in the mail) so I substituted some red deer instead. Not sure how far their range is but I figure it was fine for now.

My favorite shot of the day was this one   While this figure has a big price tag, it was definately worth it in my eyes and one of my new favorite figures. I just have to think of a great name for her

A fantastic leopard! I'm not sure about the blue eyes, is this correct?
The group photo is perfect!

Wow, this is beautiful, I can imagine your joy at opening the parcel and finding such a stunning model! She looks alive in your photos, even though it is a stationary figure the way the pose has been sculpted makes her look full of motion and life, really capturing the nature of this species! There is so much to learn looking at your clear photos, for someone who only really sculpts dogs and canines it's interesting to see how someone would create a feline!

Wow, this is breathtaking!! He looks alive in your photos!! Beautiful figure and the paint job is incredible!! Congratulations!!

Beautiful! The natural habitat photos are amazing & the size comparisons very helpful. I was unaware of this shop, so thank you for sharing! Although they are a bit out of my budget, I really enjoyed seeing such amazing offerings!

That pose is fantastic as well as all details. Though, I don't like the arrogant way it is looking at the CollectA figure as it iss a negligible creature. CollectA's is far from perfect and obviously it is not at the same level as their antelopes but I still like it very much. If i didn't own it, I'd buy it again.

It seems they have light blue/green eyes, I needed to read, hard to see in pictures at least for me.

Thank you everyone! It really is a gorgeous model. Amur leopards I have seen have a range of blue/green/grey eyes. I would have preferred green/grey eyes but that is the eye color I chose for my snow leopard so I am very happy with the blue eyes.

Fantastic model, great cat, great sculptor and great pics!

This model is awesome, I would love to catch one 

Of course there is no comparison between this model and the CollectA one, not the same public, not the same purpose and not the same price 

Your review is excellent, one walkaround, one comparison pics set and marvellous outdoor photos for the same price  I love that !

Very beautiful leopard! Amazing details and a perfect sculpt, like all models from BotB I LOVE the outdoor photos you took too

The only one not delighted to see this beauty is probably the deer

Thank you for this beautiful and useful walkaround and so realistic outdoor pictures! I specialy love the 5, 9, 13, 15 and 16!
