These look great. Are they Riesen? The geese that are looking back are funny. I wonder whether real geese can turn their head that way. |

| yes they are Riesen! they are very light and I hollow I think.
I think the goose looking back is done with artistic licence |

| Two new field horses: The brown horse is made of PVC and the white horse is polythene. These field horses were made in two poses: With all four legs on the ground or with one raised foreleg. I already had the horses with a raised foreleg: When I got my two new horses, I realised that not only their left foreleg was different, but other aspects of their pose are also slightly different. The brown horse with raised leg is very scuffed; I could do with a better one. The field horses were made between 1958 and 1969. |

| Very harmonious horse figures. Britains was also very good in this field. |

| Thank you, Taylor, Rogério and Andreas. Indeed, there are field horses with tack too and they also exist in two poses and two colours. Lots of variations! |

| A new pig: A large black pig that was made from 1993 until 1996. Like the other pigs that were produced in this short period, they are hard to find. I thought I was also still looking for the spotted version of this pig, but when I checked my database, I discovered that I already had it! It turns out I even had two. I had accidentally put them in my “for sale” storage boxes where they lay forgotten for several years. Nothing better than finding a figure on my wish list in my own collection! They were marketed by Britains as Gloucestershire old spot pigs. Mine have two different colours, I am not quite sure whether they were originally made in different colours or whether one has discoloured and the other one hasn’t. The only pig from the 1992-1996 period that I am still looking for is the Landrace (pink) pig feeding. I have checked my collection carefully, but alas, it isn’t there . |

| congratulations on finding 2 pigs on your wishlist that you already had I know that feeling especially, - when I rediscovered my Starlux figures! When I get the opportunity to check my packed away piggy herds I will see what ones I have in this style. Yesterday I said hello to 4 beautiful saddlebacks! they all came over to see me from their wallow and sniff my hands. Each one had beautiful very long black eye lashes and a delicate soft pink nose, and a sleek body. |
