| Yesterday i had this lot with quit large scaled figurines from Wild Republic China in. The size was quit a surprise to me, as i aspected them to be much smaller. The 1:32 Britains zookeeper shows it all... There are many different creatures and scales in this set, as you will see. Some are good or nice, other a little bit querky, but what does it matter for an animal-collector, haha... Here they are: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The whole set [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Aardvark [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Brown bear [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Rabbitt [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Beaver [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Small Indian Civet [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Red Panda [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Koala(Christophe has it too) [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Manewolf [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Hippo [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Giant Anteater [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Red Bellied Tree Squirrell [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Tiger [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Aye-Aye(wich is missing his typical long bony middle-fingers...)

| I realy like the red panda, it looks pretty good. :) I have some of these, like the anteater and koala, but like you say, they are pretty big, a little to big for my taste. And I dont realy like hollow animals, dont have the right feeling to them I guess |

| Thank you all again! Yes, their size was a little bit of a disappointment to me to, but what the heck! Haha. My favourite is the small Indian civet too Susanne. My fish have their big fishtank in the livingroom, and another complete room for themselfs, the mantis died 3 weeks ago of old age, as 2 weeks ago Tweety, one of my budgies died, as he was never of any good health from day one on... Christophe, you seem to invent new species of animals every day, haha Crazy Frenchman! Bonne annee to you mon ami! |

| Thank you Harriet, yes, it was sad indeed. But the mantis couldn't grow much older anyway, and the budgie was ill from day one, and i wondered why he didn't die on me earlier... Yes, shaky, they are big, but not bad at all, specially for that price... |

| Some of the collectors here said to me that they are Wild Republic, but it is very good possible, that they are made by the same factory in China, i don't know that for sure... Normally Nayab makes smaller models then these... |

| Allo allo mon ami! That is why i called these critters Wild Republic in the first place, haha. Because i know you have the koala, and you named it Wild Republic... As i said in another tread just before, it is busy on the forum right now, everybody seems to be there... |

| Well, at least it is the same koala in this Australia set. But my set had so much different other animals. But i wouldn't wonder if Nayab made them... By the way Christophe, i was on your 'jungle-site"before, but i couldn't make a comment, the window that opened was to small or so, so i couldn't finish the message in that windo or so, i don't know... |

| Thank you Amy! Well Christophe, i recognize at least the hippo and wild boar from Nayab too, so i guess, there must be a connection in one or the other way... |

| Subject: A Big Lot of K&M Models came in last weekend... Mon Jan 31, 2011 7:48 am | |
| In the lot i had from Anna(Arrakai) there were several brands, and as they were so much, i did split them up in several treads, to make things clearer. I think, most of these models came from toobs, like Forest or Africa, and North-America or so... I wish i had many of them in my youth, when i was making model-zoo;'s on the attic...
