A barbarian ( !), two monkeys, two lions and a dromedary from Starlux :-)

No matter how much I tell myself : "I am only looking, I am only looking..", it is very dangerous for me to take a look at the Starlux models on Ebay.fr

There is always something I just can`t resist
Fortunately for my bank account I usually don`t win anything
But this time the seller was not trying to rub the buyer in shipping costs, so I could bid a little more, - and won 6 lovely models

Here a Barbarian sheep, - I wonder where the name comes from
Perhaps he looks like he has the beard of a barbarian

AND the reason I HAD to bid : Isn`t that a wonderful Mandrill ?

I LOVE dromedaries, and this one is no exception

And then the lions...but are they really Starlux models? Christophe and others, do you know ?

I like them very much, whatever brand they are

This one COULD fit to my lioness, but the face is not painted in the usual Starlux-glossy way

This lion is absolutely wonderful IMHO, - but what brand is he ?

great finds Susanne! The Mandrill is especially impressive. Thank you for sharing.

Hi
Great models and love the Barbary Sheep or Aoudad.They are named after the Barbary coast which was an old name for the the north coast of Africa on the Meditterranean Sea where pirates use to operate from!!Aoudad is a native African name for them!!Also love the Mandrill!!

Congratulation for this batch Susanne , both lions are STARLUX, the matt one was first made for the gladiator set.

Far smaller than SCHLEICH, they have the same size than the BRITAINS
