Additions to Ana's collection, update July 2nd, 2018 :-)

I missed some of your additions! You have a wonderful taste to select great figures!
I am glad the Portuguese squadron arrived safely!

Ooh, what is that ara? (Macaw..?) Is it a Papo bird? Those are very nice additions - and gorgeous photographs of them. (I wish I could do half as well!)

The Kitan club bear is lovely, looks just as good here as in his promotion picture... He might have to go on my search list as well. The Kaiyodo giant rabbit is on there already. It's a very nifty figurine, beautifully sculpted - and looks even better in your pictures than the catalogue ones... Congratulations on the newcomers!

Great newcomers, they are all beautiful.
Congratulations
The ara is from Schleich [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Fabulous additions again, Anna

I just LOVE that rabbit/hare, - what brand is he ?

Wow! I have the same question as Susanne: What brand is that beautiful Belgian rabbit? It is really wonderful -- Kaiyodo-level quality. Amazing.

The others are amazing too. Congratulations Anna!

Thank you friends for so nice comments! I'm so glad you like my newcomers.
Lea, the ara is indeed Schleich (it was 2013 new) thanks for very nice compliments about photos too!
Susanne rabbit is Kaiyodo, I found it on ebay for 4USD, in general this figure must be one of the cheaper Kaiyodos probably

I love the bear--pose is great.

Thanks for the info on the ara, Bryan and Anna. Schleich have picked up their feet with their bird quality, apparently.

NNNOOOO... I mean, YEEESSS! That rabbit is one of the more expensive Kaiyodos, I believe - the cheapest I've seen him go is $20; the most expensive $40-something! Massive congratulations again on that lucky, lucky rabbit - what a find! It must have been bringing you telepathic luck with all of its four, happily-intact feet even before he actually came to you, for you to have found him at such a price!

wow Anna, nice additions.. specially the rabbit and BEARRRR....

Congrats Anna

Big congratulation Ana, the new Kitan are fabulous and the old BRITAINS are so... BRITAINS .

By the way, wher is your new Oyster ?

Oh, niice, looks like the bigger brands could learn something from Kitan (a rare Japaneese brand I assume?). And the big rabbit also! It's really fantastic

That bear is soooo good. If I would have Anna's skills I would just patch the seams on the neck, pure perfection...

Wow Anna, so many beautieful newcomers, especially from Japan (o)):(o)):(o)):

Oh, man. How have I missed that one? And, more to the point, how can it be I learn of that one only after having splurged on a haul of Kaiyodos way past my budget this month already?  Thanks for that link - now I just hope he keeps until I have a bob or two to spare..

Well, then I had some luck indeed   But I think some sellers put always high prices for their items, and often you can find the same figure from other seller for much smaller price.

Haha, the oyster, not sure if it's part of my collection (maybe because it has no eyes?) but it's very very realistic indeed, and it's soft inside, and very playfully can be open and closed :) Funny little thing

That oyster is really excellent, I bought a few KITAN too and, maybe it is teh first oyster of my collection

I got some new figures recently. Nice package from Mojo, big thanks to James Conolly for that!!!!
I also bought two new Papo figures in Amsterdam, I was so happy to see some of 2013 Papo news there in toy shop including my most wanted anteater Here Mojo Pronghorn with two Papo's . I can't wait until my Papo anteater meets Mojo tamandua, I'm sure they will look soo nice together.

In Mojo package were also some double animals and catalogs. I received few copies of my Brazilian tapir and second giant panda. I'm happy to have panda double, I think it's lovely addition to  collection of my son

Nice friendly looking pandas, and realistic too

I also got some new birds, Mojo vulture already had own walkaround photo session, it's great figure but Kaiyodo bottle cap king fisher is something absolutely amazing, I adore this bird.

Wow Anna , I love this figures Cogratulations
But I am disappointed by Anteater

Thank you Bryan !!!
But what's wrong with anteater? I really like it

Ana, it is always a different experience to see the figures watching your magic photos! Very nice additions! I still need some of these Mojo and also the Papo giant anteater. Others are also great and looking forward to see your Agata takin painted.

So many lovely newcomers again Anna     Big congratulations

I don't like this colour it's too dark
But he's an beautiful figure and I love the tapir  Thank for this nice figure  

Wonderful adds The tapir is your work?! VERY nice! Now we have all tapir species represented? Almost well, the three big species : Schleich Malayan, CollectA Baird's - and now yours  

Thank you Roger, Bryan, Andreas and Carola

Carola, yes, almost all species of tapir now. And mountain tapir is also possible to get but not from toy brands indeed :) Few years ago tapir lovers have nothing to choose from and now

Bryan, yes, anteater would look better in brighter colors indeed :) But shape is nice
