YESSSS!!! It is right !!!! The Missing Link wooly rhino

In that case it is probably good that I did not put both in there. You might not have woken up!

You have TWO

Wonderful Rhinos from old to new and big to small, my friends, all absolutely amazing

This is my modest Rhino collection yet:

You have fun

We love this topic! Roger is right; with everyone's pics, we can look at a whole century of model Rhinos. Some are sculpted to the highest standard, even though they were made to be used as toys.

Here are our African Rhinos.

Thanks Sue and Lesley, not only for words but also for giving us so nice pictures of wonderful rhinos.
I am a huge enthusiast of the Lineol rhino although I never have seen it in real. I love the pose and the general sculpting is excelent as you pointed!
The Pfeifer is a very curious design. It is far from a realistic figure but it looks the sculptor wanted to give him some stylized lines according with the era it was released. This and the story turns it in a very interesting piece.
I must find the Britains African rhino and only with your picture I noticed some subtile similarities with the Papo black rhino. The expression looks somewhat similar.
I hope not to look unelegant but I noticed that you exchanged the species between Safari and Schleich. Nothing important.
Anyway I must say that the large and long skull of the Schleich black rhinos are typical from white rhinos as it is the position of the ears in their head. So they mix a little the characteristics of both species.


Ralf, I noticed that you posted your very modest rhino collections! I must check it carefully there's some unknown gens here! Congrats!

[quote="Seijun"]Very nice!

The most wanted!

Beautiful collections!

Joan, your Papo rhino looks so much better with natural looking eyes, I think I shall do the same

Thank you, Roger! And thank you for pointing out our mistake. Little Old Ladies should not post on forums after celebrating a friend's birthday!!

Phantastic Ralf!!!

Which brand are the javan rhinos!!

Joan, I love the painted eyes on the Papo Black Rhino. It is a noticeable improvement on a rhino that is already great. (And your custom Rhino is fantastic!)

Ralf, I love your collection. I also have two questions for you: (1) What brand is the Javan Rhino that is on the grassy platform? That's the most important question. Less pressing is this one: (2) Is the CollectA rhino one of the ambiguous rhinos? Just curious.

Pam, really great collection. Which of the wooly rhinos pictured is swoon-worthy rare one?

Once again, the Lineol Rhino and the Bullyland Deluxe continue to impress me. I'm feeling like my soul is incomplete without them.

By the 1950's, Lineol and Pfeiffer had deleted their Great Indian Rhinos and replaced them with Africans. Lineol's were magnificent ...

... but Pfeiffer's were fat and grumpy.

And now the plastics:- Britains on the left, and Papo on the right.

More celebrations! ... More celebrations! ... More celebrations!
Youre welcome, your posts are a huge pleasure to read and a kind of encyclopedia for a not too young but unexperienced collector like me!

Speechless! Wooly Rhinos from Bullyland is on my list.

The one with the grassy platform is of artificial stone of the manufacturer Country Artists, the other two of Bullyland.

The mouth of the models are kind of a mix of White Rhino and Black Rhino. I've come across a photo comparison, I must seek times. As I said, my opinion.


Many thanks dear friends

Even though I am a collector of African wildlife, I really love the Safari Indian Rhino, followed by the Britian and Schleich.

Lovely collection Philipp! What brand is the big Indian rhino in the middle?

Thank you.It's Bullyland but it's not an Indian but a javan Rhino, a "middle-not deluxe-size".
Btw: i am a very big fan of the Bandai indian Rhino, although very small, it's second after Safari, close up with Britains.

Thanks for the info Philipp, oops! A Javan Rhino, I'm always getting those two muddled up. They look so similar.
Oh yes, those Bandai are amazing, I'm beginning to like this brand more and more if only I could get those red pandas
