Collection in diapers

Congrats Robert! They are all exceptionally nice! :)

-Kristie

Thanks Kristie, our owl says hi to yours...

I'm very glad to see these figures in your collection,, from a different source but happy anyway!
Those are only and without doubts, the best okapi, the best gnu and of course the best barn owl (there's no other)!
That joke of the kids was nice, I want to see your son to pick a lion to hunt the gnu! A scratched gnu is much more realistic!

Thanks Roger
Believe me, I would like nothing more than make these pictures with animals you sent, but alas...

It wasn't a joke, Marko opens the box. I had to remove some of the animals from the package while he eat a breakfast
He is the same as you, he can't enjoy each toy when he gets more of them at once...

I must correct the mistake that I made by not posting normal picture of our Safari friend, so here it is. Previous picture didn't do him justice...

Much better!
Have you explained to Marko the meaning of the gnu pose???

I've explained it's a gnu, that's enough for this year

Yours is a variation from mine! It represents how gentle we need to be with ladies!
He is leading a herd, suddenly met a river full of Rogers, He stops, look back and with is tail says kindly:
_ Ladies first!
...educational toys!

Exactly! But I already have more than 100 millions years old, so you may call me Mr. Roger croc! :)

Oh I see!!

Today was perfect opportunity to take one more animal out of the box, as a bribe for our son to get his first official haircut

I love this guy

I love this guy too!
When I bought my kudu I was very proud, usually I think that figures are expensive but with this one my feeling was that it was very cheap! Can you nderstand me?
Isn't it sumptuous Robert?
Is time to your son cut the hair and time to daddy play with the new toys!

No, kudu is just great, gnu is sumptuous
I just don't understand Papo's fascination with pyramidal legs

I don't know what you mean, anyway legs are not the best point of Papo figures!
But you can see that kudus "Walk like an Egyptian"

Look at kudu, okapi and gnu (for example) from the front and from the back. Their legs are spread too wide at the ground.

Oh, now I understand! This is usual in Papo and is not nice, we already talked about it before!
It turns figures graceless, but Papo style is not made of grace but of strongness! Antelops are graceful animals, even the large greater kudu! I think that point of the legs is related with the first bad balanced Papo figures and in a softer plastic, anyway, in the Papo elephant you see exactly the opposite, the legs are under the body in a delicate walking pose!

I don't know why do they do it but I don't appreciate that detail very much, kudu has the biggest problem of all wild animals in their production (I think). Never mind, I like it and I will look at it from the side

This little guy couldn't wait anymore, he jumped out of the box last night

I love this model - congrats Robert

Thanks Harriet, I love it too...

Nice addition Robert!
I hope to have a wild Robert, sorry... wild dog, in my collection! very soon! :)
What about legs and balance, stands it great?
..and is this dog big enough to hunt a big cat??? :)

Congratulation Robert, it is a very fine model

Roger, the scale is nearly 1:15

Thanks guys

Roger, this dog and an aardvard could hunt down half of the savanna, according to their size

WOW, Robertbert, - your collection must soon be too big for diapers
