Here you go. May or may not work on more... or just disassemble. It's a tossup and thrown together.

Very charming and geometric, Laura!

Thanks Christophe, Roger.

Yes, only the Schleich-S mini tapir didn't want to stand right in front of me; he kept looking to the left. But I gave all of them a cookie afterwards!

Good job and I love her really great mouth!
I think congratulations play this wonderful vision poses ???

_{Hurray, another World Day!}

Tomorrow (April 27th) it's World Tapir Day! Share your recent photographs of your tapirs - or just some for fun!

I was very lucky to find another Papo tapir today at the flea market - although I already had it, I was so happy to get one on World Tapir Day
Here is my newest photograph of my tapir collection:

Lucky tapir to come and stay with you

I don't have any new tapirs to show But your are wonderful

Nice flock Julie

He is from the brand Durolin and made around 1930

Some tissue paper is sticking to his side, but I don't dare to try remove it, - he is so old and fine

I think the second is American yowie but what about the first one?

Many thanks friends. Yes, the American tapir is a new Yowies and the other a made in china model.

Nice ones, congratulations!

The first one is the Wild Republic Rainforest Polybag tapir Yet I'm not sure who originally made the mould and which other brands used it
