wow, I had no idea there were so many of these birds of prey models by Starlux and Clairet in this scale Andreas. I think I have at least the golden eagle with the wings spread out at an angle.

I think the owl on the tree stump, with the yellow lower feathers is from a particular bird series, but I've forgotten the name?

Have you seen the Timpo eagle in all grey plastic? It's this scale too.

bravo and wonderful Andreas! it will be exciting to see these figures join your very impressive displays!
I see you already have a few Britains models there - plus many I have never seen before! I'm curious about that 2nd last photo and it's gems.

In the second last photo, only the two golden eagles at the back and the vulture at the front are from Britains. The rest are from the brands Starlux and Clairet from France.

Congratulations on your latest 4 figures!

These Deagostini birds are just beautiful. I really love the secretary bird and the lammergeier with their crests and the white feathers. How very rare to see them in flight, so they look exceptionally special.

Where did these birds come from? Was it some special production?

Thanks for sharing your new additions. I thought I had an extra Opentoys imperial eagle but unfortunately I can't find an extra anymore. I believe I haven't seen one of these in your collection.

The owl with the tree stump from Starlux was labelled "Animal Zoo Rena" at the time of purchase. I don't know if that's the name of the bird series.

I had a look at the Timpo eagle, it looks beautiful.

The DeAgostini birds were released in 2017. They are for collecting in small sealed packs. A pack always contains one of 16 figures and a poster with information about the bird. When you buy a pack, you don't know in advance which bird is inside. The figures are rubbery and very soft.  Other animal species have also been produced.
I bought the figures as a complete set via a classified ad site. I think these figures are no longer produced.

Right, I don't have an Opentoys imperial eagle yet. I've ordered one in the last few days. It will arrive next week. I will share it later when I have it.

The maker is InjectA plastic, they produced a few animal series as premium for Rena, Azur, Prior...

Nice additions again

Wonderful Andreas! you got the Imperial Eagle!

all the 3 owls are really lovely, I like their subtle differences too.

What is the lying - flying bald eagle?

The flying bald eagle is from the K&M brand. This is included in the Wilderness Nature Tube.
Compared to the bald eagle in the wiki, my figure has no yellow beak and no yellow claws.

I'm glad you found the Imperial eagle. This is one of those obscure figures which easily get forgoten forever since they do not belong to an animal themed brand and their availability was basically exclusive to Spain. The species is also rare in toy shape.

My new birds from the last two weeks:

AAA Eurasian eagle-owl
ToyMany Bald eagle
Bandai Blue-winged kookaburra
Play Visions Harpy Eagle
Peregrine falcon (brand unknown)

It is interesting to see a Blue-winged kookaburra in your collection. Are you moving outside the birds of prey subject now?
Another interesting point is the very well defined earth-shaped dish on your owl. Sometimes I wonder if they want to represent a Bubo virginianus instead or if it is one more versatile mould which is used for both species. The vertical "ears" and the noticiable V shape between the eyes makes it to look a lot like the American species. Though, we have been identifying it as an Eurasian eagle owl.
Is there anything marked on your falcon? Falcons are commonly replicated for action figure sets but this one doesn't look like it is part of one.

I continue to collect mainly birds of prey.
In addition to birds of prey, I occasionally collect kookaburras, ravens and storks.
There are no markings on the falcon.

Really good additions, i especially like the falcon. What is the material?

Congratulations on your new falcon Andreas! Well done!
I see it is rather large in comparison to your other figures. In the photos it seemed to be a lot smaller.
Is it made of plastic? and what does the base and the rear look like? I am curious:)

Thanks!
By the way, instead of earth-sahped I should have written heart-shaped.

I have found out the material of the falcon.
The figure is made of resin. The falcon is probably not a toy figure, but still a nice object for my collection.

Sure, actually resin is a material I like. I have among my foxes some made of polyresin, polystone, ceramics, composition, etc.

Thank you

New in my collection:

AAA Hatching Eagle (four different versions)
Hatching Eagle (resin figure by J.C. 1994)
Colorata Philippine Eagle
Colorata Northern Goshawk

Congratulations! It is great to see your collection growing. One of the nice things of this subject is that you sill have a long way to go.

Nice additions again

Congratulations Andreas, the goshawk is particularly nice indeed!

Thank you for the answers to the latest new purchases.

My Japanese goshawk figures.
