Willybacoman's additions for 2012

I made a trade with Daria from Russia last month, and i already have her models here since a week or so.
Sadly enough i wasn't able to send her lot yet, but this will happen very soon, sorry Dari...
Anyway, this lot included a Breyer Black bear, a Breyer Reeves Llama, and 3 fantastic Famemaster 4-models, which were very hard to put together by the way, as they had many parts, and the description was very small, and not very clear.
Sadly enough, the tucan was not very well made in the parts, the paiting does not fit the lines of the models as you will see.
But for that, the scarlet macaw and American horned owl are fantastic!
Here they are:

Breyer Black Bear/Baribal

Breyer Reeves Llama, it is not the typical hollowcast hardplastic that Breyer normally uses, but a very hard and sturdy kind of plastic, almost like the Safari models.

Here to compare with the Schleich model, were you can see, that the Breyer is so much better...

The 3 Famemaster birds together, already build together, and with the original boxes.

Famemaster Toco Tucan, from the best side...

Because here you can see, that some parts do not fit well together, and that the painting of the parts does not match...

Here with the rest of my tucan family.

From a trade with Rusty, i had a very mixed lot, with many different qualities and brands in models.
Some very nice, others really bad, but i picked myself, as i thought they would fit into my collection.
Here they are:

Congratulation Willy, those Famemaster are really wonderful and the BREYER llama has a very interesting size

Too bad for your Toco toucan, it is a fumble i guess because I was looking at mine and I don't have painting problems

Merci Christophe!
Yes, i just had a stroke of bad luck with the tucan i guess, i looked at your, and i didn't se any flaws either...
The llama is very nice indeed, i know you would like him to!

Congratulations Willy, these are fabulous!

I LOVE it when you get this kind of mixed lots, Willy

You know so incredibly much about them, it is always very interesting to see and read

Of course I adore the bear , an also there ar lots of interesting models, - thankyou very much for sharing

They are wonderful, Willy
Imagine, - befor I joined this forum, I thought Breyer only made horses

Those birds are gorgeous
Well, about the tucan, - you just have a very special model

Wow, a very interessting lot, Willy! For me, the best are the penguins and the giraffe!

_________
Yvette

Congrats Willy! Yes, you posts are always very educational as it teaches me about different brands. Of this lot, the New Ray elephant is my most favorite. :)

-Kristie

Thank you ladies!
Yes Susanne, i have a special breed of toco tucan here indeed...

Thank you for the compliments Susanne, Yvette and Kristie!
I must admitt, that i like the hardplastic beagle and collie very much to, they have a certain quality as i said before, it is almost if they were made out of porcelain...
And i can't remember seeing them ever before in all of those years...

I like these birds....are splendid.

congrats Willy,very good additions.

Muchas gracias Fernando, i love them to, specially the owl and macaw!

Wonderful oldies!! Big congratulations Willy!!

A wonderful lot of big nice animals!! Congratulations again Willy!!

Very very wonderful!! Big congratulations!! The eagle owl is made by Nayab.

My favourite is the unknwn whitetail deer- i like this kind of animal figurines, but they are also difficult to find.

WONDERFUL new models, Willy

I am totally crazy about the dromedaries, - WOW

Wow, what a great additions! Very impressive lama and fantastic owl and other goodies. Great, congratulations Willy!

Now that you say, i recognise him as Nayab indeed, thanks!
I like the whitetaildeer to Andreas.
But i guess it is a copy of some more known brand...

Thank you Andreas and Ana!
Are you back in Poland now, or back again in the Netherlands?

Thanks you Andreas and Susanne!
Nothing better then good oldies, haha...
I love those dromedaries to Susanne, the mould is just great i think!
I packed some older Haussers for you to by the way, some of my doubles and doubles of this lot.

My favourite is the poster!
Willy, our topic need some nocturnal life, unless in this part of the globe! So please keep posting your mistery figures to give some light to long European nights!

Congrats! I love your colorful doggies!:)

Wow fantastic figures. The Llama is wonderful, much better than the schleich. And the Horned Owl is amazing! Congratulations.

Thanks Scott!

Thanks Kelsey!

Well Rogerio, i am not always up at might, but a few hours of the night at least.
It depends what my plans are for the day after...

Oh, just like me. I'm only still awake at these late hours because tomorrow early I have a ophthalmology consultation and they say always to keep my eyes open!

Lots of nice additions Willy!
I think the donkey is MPC, they did versions with the base and without the base. There is a similar version without the base by Payton but it is not as finely crafted, so I think yours is the MPC.
The Marx deer from that series would have been made in Hong Kong - all of the animals from that series were. Yours looks really nice so I think it is safe to say Marx.

Thanks Tim, and thanks for the good info to!
I saw in your collections, that MPC used these bright colours to in that time.
Nice to know that my deer is a Marx then!
It could be logical, as i had it from Rusty.

Congrats Willy

Thanks Kenny!

Congrats Willy,what amazing lot of figures!Penguins are wonderfull and I like thoose silly looking small colorful dogs Macrauchenia is fantastic,I'm a bit jelous everytime I see one because I have non But I know I'll find one at the flea market,I'm keeping my fingers crossed

Great you finally recieved them)
That's not a problem, I hope you've already shipped them or do this in the nearest future:))

But, Willy.. Are ure sure the bear's from me?) I cannot remember sending him to you- I even cannot remember having him at all , you know:lol:

As for the tucan- I'm really sorry, I haven't oppened the box (it was really NIB and never oppened) as I thought everything's OK. I hope you aren't very disappointed.

Thank you Andreas and Ana!
Are you back in Poland now, or back again in the Netherlands?

In the Netherlands again I've sent You an email few days ago No worries, Your collection is still biggest in Holland probably, my arrival didn't change it

Yes Daria, they arrived savely here!
I know you can't help about the tucan, just bad luck for me i guess...
Your package will leave very soon, i have some extra finacial room this month, and i will take quick advantage of that, to send off all of the packages that are still lying around here...

Yes, i know know ana, but not then, sometimes the mails confuse me, not only yours.
As i know that you couldn't take your collection completely to our country, i am save, but i am afraid i don't have the biggest collection anyway....
I think, i can hold mine on 6 M2 in vitrines...|(although several layers high... )

Thanks BTW!
I hope you are finding what you are looking for to!

Congrats Willy!! Beautiful birds, especially the owl!!

Can't wait to get the macaw. Kaiyodo level!

But far bigger indeed

Thank you Kenny!

Yes Philipp, almost, but far much harder to put together, i want to see you struggle with the tail-feathers, haha...

, I agree those are real 3D puzzles

Congratulations Willy. What wonderful additions. I love the bear, squirrel, owl and deer the most. They are all wonderful.

The macaw and owl are very nice!

I think i want to see me doing this soon too.
With my piano-man fingers and my incredible talent to destroy a lot of things, i will need my friend superglue, i guess

Thank you Amy!

Thank you Balti!

Yes Philipp, it will be a hard task, as the desciption is not very clear, and with little pictures...
And as often in puzzles, not every part does fit well as it should be...
Well, you can always ask Kiki or me when you have any trouble putting them together...
By the way, piano-fingers are capable to do very fine things...
You need patience in the first place, and some time for yourself...
For myself, i just love to get into tiny things like watches and so on, and that helps for sure...

Congratulations Willy. I love them all. The bear and llama are awesome and the birds are amazing. Thanks so much for sharing them with us.

Thank you Amy!
I am always happy to share my treasures!
