Steve's Collection (08/03/20)

I can see on Wikipedia that it was also shown in Denmark (Dyrene i Lilleskoven) in the early '90, but perhaps it was shown during the afternoon, and I had extremely long work hours back then.

A shame, it looks very exiting, - and your models are ever so charming

I've now had a look on Wikipedia too . I had no idea it went to so many countries! It seems very well liked by anyone that remembers or has seen it but I didn't think it was that popular because I don't remember ever seeing it repeated. It's a pity you were working too hard at the time... But at least not anymore

A few more

I really like that chameleon; wish it was a little smaller.

If so, it might be replacing my Safari figure :)

Yes their 2019 release. Busy weekend coming but I'm hoping to have time to take better photos.

Very good flock!

Congratulations

I have updated the photos on page 1 to my current display collection. I haven't finished adding writing to a fair amount of photos but at least the pics are up!

Wonderfully presented, Steve! The surprise is the size of the New-Ray crane, I always thought it was relatively small.

The New Ray crane is a must have

Thank you, I hope I can use this background forever, otherwise I will have to re-take photos of them all again . The new Ray crane is very impressive

Duun dun.... Duun dun... Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun.

Some more sharks added and I have removed the turtles and Tortoises from my display.

The carpet shark is one of the best Schleich models It's retired, where did you bought it? :)

Yes it's a favourite of mine already. I bought it in the coral reef diver set direct from the Schleich website. It is currently on sale.

I think it's in this set, Schleich still sells it in half-price : [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Exactly that one, thanks for sharing the link.

But you were more helpful

Collecting sharks is really fun. There is a huge diversity of them available. They seem popular these days and it is far from being just a great white shark mania.

Yes ! And before I joined this forum, I would have laughed if you told me they are interesting

But I love them now, - there are also little, cute ones, of course

Btw, I have the both the old spotted wobbegong from 2006, and the one from the present play set , they are 100 % identical, except for the brand stamp on the underside.
If you look at TAI , it looks like the old one is more green, but it is probably just because it is photographed next to an orange thing

I think this cannot be the issue, maybe it's just a filter in his/her camera that made the colours more vibrant or the colours were edited in photoshop. As I checked, all photos from this set have weird colours compared to the real ones. For example check the hammerhead:

it's the same effect...
