Here is one more magic box from Susanne!
Those have been very happy collector days. It is not every day we receive so many gifts at once.
I'm glad I could find some time to show them to you but sorry for short descriptions.
What is most interesting about this lot is that those are my personal choices despite being gifts but the figures I got most crazy about were exactly those I was not expecting!
Let's start with the "normal" figures.
After some time of indecision, this white rhinoceros finally entered my collection. This is a remarkable figure, with many virtues. Massive, impressive but I would love it even most if it was not so impressive, especially its huge horn.
Though, I'm happy the 2019 rhino everyone loved is also part of my live.

It is effectively a very good piece and I love it, it also has a more consensual design than the Mojo model which is equally fantastic!
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Strangely, I was needing an American bison in my collection.Well, I have a few, even the very old Papo but a new updated one at this scale was missing.
This is another figure I hesitated but after sseing pictures of other collectors on forum, I decided to go for it and I'm very happy.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]No hesitation about this one, I knew it was a great model, the best rendition of this animal and now I have a fantastic alpaca to enjoy.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]CollectA contrarily to what used us during a long time, is not offering many unusual species these last years. Though, this snake is surely not a common species in toy shape and this green tree python was an easy choice.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]This wonderful Mojö Fun fennec you already know from my collection of foxes, I guess.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]This is the model which surprised me most and my expectations were already high. This is a tremendous kangarou. With so many good kangaroos, Mojö was able of offering one which easily gives a big punch to most of the other counterparts.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]There's a Papo too and Papo now means bird! this great tit is just great!
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]One of the secret surprises is this masterpiece!
WIA 2022 Criollo Stallion, Morgen Kilbourn Edition (1:18 scale). I don't know which one I like most, but I have already a few WIA horses and I like them all!
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Now, a figure that almost killed me.
When I opened the box protecting it, I almost could not believe, I felt like a kid receiving that very wanted toy we'd never expect to receive.
I can't translate in words how much I love this very old lion! OK, I confess I got deeply moved.
This is the Lineol lion, 3rd generation
