Susanne´s wonderful news from STS-friends, update 4th of December :-)

Look, look, look ! Look what Roger gave to me  

The wonderful, beautyful Schleich Lipizzan stallion 13220 in perfect piaffe, made in 1992, when they (In my opinion  ) made the REAL, famous Schleich-horses ! 
And this is even a rare "Rohling"

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou, Roger     

What a wonderful gift! And it's even better when it's given to you by a great friend. Congrats Susanne!

C O N G R A T S.  

 Congrats, that truly was Schleich's "golden years."

A nice horse Susanne!! And a big hurray for our Roger:cheers:        

Susanne, you're very welcome!
Not because it was sent from Portugal but this horse is really beautiful, the pose is fantastic without being exagerated, look at hooves, legs, tail, etc. A great horse indeed. I'm glad you're happy!

What a lovely rare horse!

I like the lively tail

I wonder then, if he is from Schleich Golden Age.. Will we then, in 10 years or so, call this 'The Dark Age of Schleich' or 'back when Schleich horses were still realistic'...

Good question !!!  
Strange things happen ....
It seems to me not many years ago, when we were all standing round one of the young accountants at my job, watching in awe, how he had a progremme in his computer, so he could send a FILE ot AMERICA  

But now my new horse is standing in my little cabinet for some larger VIP-models, and that won't change

Wonderful collection Susanne! I am sure most if not all of us have a "VIP-model" section of our collection.

Great little cupboard of goodies.  

Thankyou 4U and Paige

Great rohling newcomer Susanne! And I love your VIP cabinet    Congratulations!!!
And hurray for Roger too!

congrats Susanne!  

Sweet additions. I agree about the Schleich horse's pleasant-looking piaffe. (I wonder if ten years from now we'll have all the new piaffe-performing horse models sculpted into van Grunsven type twists and knots, with forelegs flailing and eyes pleading...)

Also, you seem to have a most wonderful repaint of the Papo caribou in your V.I.P. section, Susanne. May I ask who he was painted by?

Wonderful new horse Susanne! Congratulations!

Hurray for Roger! Love the display too

Thankyou, friends

That Triceratops looks like a better sculpted version of the CollectA model

Thankyou, Lea and Takama

Wow, yes, the triceratops has a lot in common with the CollectA one, - and you are right, T.  
Smaller, but better sculptured  

I'll try to take a comparison picture later today

Thankyou very much

It does not have any marking except TRICERATOPS MADE IN CHINA, so it probably is not AAA, - so it could be Dagnostini ?
I do not know that brand, is it Italian ?

Ha, that little triceratops has a new friend. Maybe it was inspired by that collectA model?

hi Susanne. your triceratops doesnt have the same paint as mine (AAA/ELC) and the DiAgostini figure. im guessing a different company used the same mold. (your triceratops paint looks much better )
i hope it's ok to post my pic to show you?

Ohh, Sauro ! I am so sorry ! I didn't see your beautyful 'tops before now    

WONDERFUL painting, and very interesting to se this VARIATION    

Thankyou very much for the picture

From Frana in Italy I got my very first Geoworld models

Thankyou, Sauro

congrats susanne, i just cant imagine how many figurine u already have..       

Fantastic new dines! Congratulations Susanne!!! My favourite is violet Stego quite crazy colours indeed !   

Good thing is, we can't really critisize the colours, as none of us can really tell what the truth is   

Lovely dinos ! Stegos are childhoodmemories.

Congratulations, very colourful dinosaurs      

Thankyou, dear friends, from me and the dinos

I can't imagine either    

For some reason I've always liked the notion of racecar-coloured dinosaurs. These certainly are that. Congrats!
