Here is a place to post and discuss all the 2013 North American Wildlife models from all the manufacturers. New official Pics will be added on the first post when available.

Safari is the absolute winner here, aren`t they ?
Well, I love the alligator, too

Gorgeous pic of the black wolf, very imaginative

SAFARI Ltd is the absolute winner in quantity but my favorite is the COLLECTA alligator

Ah, no No. 1 favorite for me but Alligator, Arctic hare, Backyard Birds, Elk and Wolverine will come to me for sure

I feel especially happy for bird tube and arctic hare

I will do the same choice Maybe I will let the arctic hare, I need to see it in real life. The elk is very important for me because I still don't have this specie on my shelves.

I would rather have [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] but until then...

As explained me Jarda [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is not a Arctic hare but a Japanese hare (Lepus brachyurus)

Excellent, then Schleichs is a must

I like the toob birds

I like the new pose of the alligator, but hope it is painted as well as in the pic, the bears, hare, and elk are must haves for me, I just wish someone would do a cow and calf elk as well. I also like the black wolf but also wish they gave it its own pose instead of reusing the old one. Not sure if I like the fox...

The alligator is my favorite. But I'm also excited about the roaring Grizzly (we'll have to see more pictures) and the Elk and the Wolverine.

I'm not a fan of the wolf and fox. The wolf sculpt is one of my all-time favorites, but this version just looks like a lot of black paint was slopped on. It's even worse in the case of the fox.

UPDATE: Now that the Papo figures have been listed, I take back what I said above. The Papo Grizzly is my absolute favorite, not only here, but possibly out of any figure being released this year. I have to see it of course, in person. But it looks amazing.

Alligator in my favorite pose and Arctic hare almost for sure! Black fox only if I don't find it as a kind of punishment to someone that decided to collect foxes. Wolverine, looking nice as it looks almost surely, unfortuhnately their measurements are the same as Safari raccoon, I don't care with scales but... ... elk is those figures that will wait a lot but soon or later will introduce my collection, I hope. :)

I am just in love with the alligator! I love its pose!

It seems the alligator could be a hit in 2013, I know the pose will be slightly different than the official pic and hopefully we will not be disappointed.

The SAFARI Ltd raccoon is very big but I can manage a wolverine model of the same size, too big for a North America display but the scale could be interesting for a mustelid display with PV  

Elk toys are really rare and good elk toys even more    Except HUNTER DAN I can't remember a more realistic than the 2013 one.

The black fox is a punishment Roger. If only SAFARI Ltd painted it like this  

Not really impressed with the gator :/ It looks sorta deformed and cartoonish. I prefer AAA's, still the best gator available in toy form (at least to me)

Wow, those grizzlies look amazing :O Schleich, I never knew you had it in you (o)):

And I'll be getting that Screech Owl as a companion to my Bald Eagle, for sure.

The pose of the alligator is interesting, at least a croc that is not lying down. Also I don't think the gator is more cartoonish than the SCHLEICH grizzlies  

The screech owl is a very interesting specie but it is a bit big for my shelf and I have the chance to own a KAIYODO one.

Can't say I agree, but I guess everyone sees figures differently....

I guess we will have to wait some pics of the real toys to know.

It seems SCHLEICH Arctic hare is a Mountain hare. So I moved this beauty to the European continent

Alligator the best

Map added

Wow, how much I love this map with tiny birds on them among the bigger animals It's joy to see

Thank you Anna
