Very hard to choose here, there are others I could be just as happy with

1. PNSO Corythosaur
2. CollectA Pleuroceras
3. PNSO Sinoceratops
4. PNSO Adopodentatus
5. Safari Shringasaur

If they were options, I'd had to have chosen PNSO's hatching 'Aaron' Tyrannosaur as #1, and the hatching 'A-Qi' Sinoceratops as #2 or 3

Ok so sticking with the trilobite theme of last post, I present to you my entire trilobite collection. My idea for this photo started with me wanting to make a post including my trilobite cast collection, but I decided to expand it to every single trilobite in my collection. These will go from left to right. Enjoy.

Thanks [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], I’d like to get [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] (donkey and horse), I believe that with the pandemy it will not be easy to find someone to get them in Germany for us non Germans. [You must be [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to see this image.] It is a pity there is no wildlife, however, I understand it is easier to offer variations when the subjects are farm and dinos.

The JPToys.com has released a checklist for Mattel’s 2021 “Dino Escape” toyline.
Wild Attack (a bit like Savage Strike and Attack Pack)
Baby Nasutoceratops (reference to new animatronic for JW3?)
Herrerasaurus
Moros Intrepidus (I’m very excited)
Velociraptor
Dimetrodon
Zuniceratops (Also very excited)
"Speed Dino [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]"
"Speed Dino [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]" (I wonder what these are)
Roar Attack (think Roarivores and Sound Strike)
Ceratosaurus
Parasaurolophus
Ankylosaurus
"Dino 4"
"Dino 5"
Nasutoceratops
Ceratosaurus 2
Baryonyx redeco ("Chaos"?)
(I wonder what the not confirmed Dinos 4 and 5 may be)
New Super Colossals
Super Colossal Carnotaurus "Toro"
Super Colossal Giganotosaurus (I’m not that big of a Super Colossal Dinosaur collector, so maybe Mattel will release a smaller giganotosaurus. Maybe part of their Mega Destroyer line which has no confirmed dinosaurs).
And the animatronic I mentioned

I’m making a Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom toy movie and production (albeit long) is going very good. I’m not going to post it on YouTube, so I’m wondering where to post it so everyone here can see it. I recently bought the supplies for filming the Dinosaur Auction Scene.

If you didn’t watch the movie, (I hope you did) Ankylosaurus was lot [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], and it fits very well in the cage I bought for the scene.[You must be [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to see this image.]
Even though my Mattel Indoraptor is a bit cramped in the enclosure.

Was I starting to be convinced I am the unluckiest collector of this world when I received a big box full of fantastic gifts. All priorities from my wish list and all models absolutely fantastic figures!
Susanne always know the right time to please a friend even when a pacage takes much longer to arrive than it was desirable.
I will make a few short comments together with the pictures.

CollectA Dama gazelle
[You must be [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to see this image.]
I am starting with this fantastic model. I love to try to guess CollectA's releases because they are not predictable.
I knew that after a springbok they hardly would choose a Thomson's gazelle to be released. Though, I was convinced they'd release a closely related Grant's gazelle.
As often with CollectA, I was wrong and they surprised us with a beautiful Dama gazelle. Another perfect antelope from the company, with very long legs, perfectly sculpted horns and the finish quality we are used.
These gazelles are really tall, they're taller than impalas!

CollectA Hippopotamus

Who needs another hippo? I thought I didn't but after seeing all your pictures of the newer CollectA hippopotamus, I needed one, it is a model with a fantastic painting, super detailed sculpt with the best texture possible and the mouth is a masterpiece. Legendary model, is there, among Japanese brands, a better hippo figure? [You must be [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to see this image.]
I may to talk about it a little more later, strangely, I only wished this model was slightly larger.

Papo Arctic hare and Mandarin duck

These are two small figures from Papo. There was no Arctic hare in my collection. Maybe the Safari model is superior but I am quite happy with this little figure.
I have the wonderful Safari Mandarin duck but I was really enchanted with the Papo version when I've seen it on Susanne's pictures. OK, now she found one for me. [You must be [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to see this image.]

Science and Nature Rock wallaby and Safari Matchie's tree-kangaroo

I am a fan of S&N models, they may not be as good as our big brands but I truly love them, inspite of that, I never acquired the large rock wallaby, I am tolerant with sizes but it never appealed me.
This one is different, I love its pose and size and I love marsupials and that's a new species. The same goes about the Safari Matchie's tree kangaroo. It was [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] in my wish list, regarding recent releases, of course.

Safari Black caiman

It seems there is always a croc thing in my additions. I am glad I have it, I was hesitating but the figure is quite recognizable for its species. Again a new species in my collection.

Safari Ltd Blue-footed booby and Long-eared owl

I am being a little lazy with birds but these two are fantastic! Safari captured nicely the silly look of these birds. With these bright blue feet, this one will be a favourite mate. [You must be [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to see this image.]
The long-eared owl is one of these figures that are much better in hands than in photos. I never suspected it to be so nice.

Safari Incredible Creatures Giant pangolin

Oh, do you know these figures that you want secretly for a long time and you don't get them? This pangolin is surely one of them. When it was retired, I was already regreting not getting it.
Fortunately it was reintroduced and Susanne found one of the best excuses I've ever heard to get it for me. [You must be [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to see this image.]

Safari Great Lakes TOOB

This tube was a complete surprise, it was not in my wish list and I was not expecting it at all.
Fortunately, it is one of the nicest tubes I've ever seen, I am not too much on tube sized figures but when they have this quality and interest, there aren't many sensate reasons to avoid them. I even love the lynx, I wished the WS version was inspired upon it.

Safari Wildlife Wonders Red fox

These foxes you already know but I am in extase with the WW fox, it is such a honourable model. I see Safari is now using their WW figures also as decoration, people now love to decorate their furniture with animals and it may be positive to us collectors.

Tenderleaftoys Foxes

Thanks Susanne a thousand times, now I am convinced I am the luckiest collector of this planet. [You must be [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to see this image.]

Sanctacaris, Anomalocaris saron, Ottoia, Naraoia, Haikouichthys, Tricrepicephalus, and Sidneyia. I only used two custom figures and those are the Haikouichthys and Alalcolmenaeus.

Haikouichthys

Alalcolmenaeus

That's interesting Adam and our main focus for ELC is defintely those marked ELC. Besides AAA, it was also possible to find Early Learning Center selling other brands but not under their brand name.
Surely yours and Taylor's contributions with pictures were important. It was even better if you could edit directly once it could save other editors to other sections but, pictures are already an important help.
Yes, ELC section was very small and now it increased a good amount but to give you an idea of the dimmension of the wiki, if we make a ranking of brands, it is only number 36 in terms of number of pages. The same as Science and Nature, for instance.
Out of curiousity, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is Safari Ltd, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is Schleich and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is Bullyland. :)

Dear Roger and Others: Well, they have a rrived, the two foxes and skunks from Ebay. They are AAA, and I've prepared a little walkaround of them for those of you who want to read it.

1. Ginger is the first fox in the lot. She is looking to the right, and just walking around. She's about 6" or 7" long.

2. Irma is the second in the lot and she is sitting down with her tail curled around her feet. You'll be able to tell from the forthcoming pictures that she is a fox kit.

3. Skunk [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. This skunk has its tail raised, and is just walking around. It doesn't have a name yet.

4. Skunk [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. This skunk looks similar to the last one, only the tail is lowered. All four of these figures will be coming in picture format next month, so don't worry, you'll get to see them.

Well, that's the Walkaround, so if anyone wants more info, then write me.

P.S. If anyone wants info or suggestions for figure names, then write me. I'm Sure I can help with all that.

That's great, Anna! I may know these foxes but nothing is as conclusive as watching the pictures you will provide next yar.
The skunks are likely the two skunk kits AAA made. They're in fact quite similar and one is with the tail up and the other with the tail down as you described. Both are already on TAW. You need now their mother, she is in a pose that reminds a cat stretching. Both front legs are stretched froward with the body dropped and the tail is up with the tip pointing forwards. I don't know any other AAA skunk besides these three.

All four of my Toy Major lions, which also happen to be figures not yet documented on the wiki, so I figured I'd post them here.

Media so often uses wolfdogs and wolfy-looking dog breeds in TV and movies that I think it's skewed the idea of what real wolves look like, and figure designs really reflect that. They often end up looking more like huskies, malamutes, or German shepherds than wolves, as least in the coloration. In this case I think it's a figure mass produced as quickly and cheaply as possible, so there's not much by way of intricate details. Probably my favorite wolf figure paintjobs are on the Papo gray wolf family and arctic wolf pup, the brown Breyer wolf, the Kaiyodo wolves, and (to some extent) the early version of the Mojo wolves, when they were still gray as opposed to brown. They're simplistic, but I feel like they do the best job of conveying the idea of a more complex markings.

Yvette immediately identified them! [You must be [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to see this image.] However, Play Visions bears a kind of never ending interest. We have the farm set already listed on TAI but, we can see there some "dramatic" variations, try to check the page of the goose or the page of the pig, for instance. It shows that we still have some little things to know about the farm sets. It also tells your horse is number [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] of the set but I suspect the identification of it as a Shire was my personal invention. [You must be [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to see this image.] Sometimes I am also quite optimistic identifying figures although I think it is a quite nice looking little horse figure. [You must be [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to see this image.]

$7 for just one listing's final value fee? That's really odd. I've been selling on eBay for years and have never been charged that much on a single item in fees. (unless it is well over $200-$300.) Never heard of other sellers getting charged that much either. Perhaps the selling fees aren't the same for those of us here in the US though. Something just does not add up here in your case.

I won't be giving up eBay though as it is the #1 way I obtain 99% of my collection and also the only way I can make decent money in sales to BUY those rare animals I am always finding there.

Sorry this happened to you though.

These are some custom schleich horses I have painted, I thought I should post a couple up and I can post any other horses I paint in the future.
I would like to thank everybody who gave me many useful tips on what is best to use for customs. [You must be [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to see this image.]

I painted all these horses when I was around 10 or 11, they were so bad I had to do a before and after photo. I really cracked up when I found these horses again.
