| On several occations I have admired Christophe's photoes of the thresher shark from the Monterey bay series. It was a dark and stormy night, where I searched Ebay again, without much hope...and THERE it was And, - oh yes ! the seller also had the beautyful, spotted dolphin. Both at a very sensible price [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]It seems I hit a lucky period. At Toyanimal.info I saw that there is a retired, Asian Elefant that I had never seen...and BINGO ! Immediately I foun one, - even with tag This elephan was made from 2003 - 2007, which is not long for Safari. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The poor guy is actually not much of a looker, but seen from certain angles he is enormously cute [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]From France came this lovely, but retired, yellowtail Butterfly [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Backside : [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]And a real, great, wonderful scoop ! Our dear Froggie had this set of bumble bees from the Smithsonian series [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

| Those are really Safari treasures. Not only because they're retired but mainly because they're nice. Although I don't have them, I find the bigeye thresher a fantastic figure and the spotted dolphin is very beautiful too. By the way, does someone know which exact species is the dolphin? Ah, I am sure that some of the most dedicated collector of elephants doesn't know probably this one! Congratulations! |

| Congrats! I wish Safari would bring back the spotted dolphin. Perhaps it didn't sell well because it was in the same mold as their old bottlenose dolphin? |
