You win the race for those ones I was planning to do the same pics

Fantastic photos Ralf and Christophe

I don't think I've ever seen the Gorilla or Orang-utan by BANDAÏ before, they're so detailed!

Thank You Harriet yes, the Bandai models looks very fine detailed and are so very small yet. Thanks Christophe for showing

For this I have no Duiker, no Babyrusa, no Fennec, no Pecari... of Starlux!

WONDERFUL monkeys

Very nice pictures again! I really enjoy it!
Also curious that JIM was brave enough to make the baboons with erect tails although babbons cannot do it as it is in the figure!

BANDAÏ small models are a big lesson for Western companies who are making bigger but less detailed figurines... I mean ALL the Western companies  

BANDAÏ, at least, is also a very good answer to people who think that a model "made in China" is always worse than a "made in Europe" model   . BANDAÏ and KAIYODO are made in China and are excellent. So if a "made in China" SCHLEICH seems worse than "made in Europe", the problem is SCHLEICH... Not China  

A few pics with BANDAÏ and SCHLEICH zebras will explain better  

For those who want more pics, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Ralf... I have no big babirusa, fennec, duiker or Pecari to compare with... So no competition and no pics

Roger, this poor baboon have a congenital malformation... It's not fair to laugh about this        
Seriously, JIM was not known to made the most accurate animals of the 1960's  

Oh i like this and i prefer the sammler animals.

My focus was not in congenital malformations but the fact that the brand complicated the sculpting. These "broken" baboon tails are a dream for the brands once they turn easier the sculpting and also prevent that they break easily. JIM made them in a way that modern brands don't like! I know JIM made jouettes modernes but is not a modern brand. :)

Indeed it is a very dangerous thing to be modern because it is a very precarious status

A few pics again  

Unbelievable that an 1 dolar figure can be so nice! I'm talking about the Play Visions, of course!
Sorry for my ignorance, but the AAA is not a modern Grant's gazelle?
