Wonderful presents from a good friends :)

Really great from Jarda!
For a Papo lover like me and although I haven't kept them in my collection, they represented in Papo early days that they wanted to be a reference with big cats and clearly wanted to contrast with the cutesy and friendly looking of Schleich counterparts. These figures were presented in 2004 and in 2006 Schleich reacted trying to make a ferocious lion. It was a disaster, certainly a fiasco once they needed to replace it in 2008 for current version. Meanwhile Papo gave us the King of the Jungle, a reference until Mojo's arrival and this year we have the 2nd version of the Papo lion roaring. I wanted originally, instead of collecting foxes, to collect lions, though, they were so many that I gave up.

Congratulation again Kosta and Hurray for Jarda

I agree with you Roger, I remember the first time I saw these models, the feel in is had then was something like "Times they are changing in the animal toys world"

That's a beautiful oldie from Papo! I like it too, there's something..:) Congrats Kosta

Congratulations with this new, fantastic lion, Kosta
Those two are milestones in the quality of big cats

Roger, thankyou for the info ! You are the forum-super-anayst, always brimming with valuable data and valuable conclusions

Thank you for all your kind words frends :)

Thanks Kosta, Kiki and Susanne for your comments too!

The finest two Papo cats, in my opinion! Just keep the pair well apart or you'll have some stitching to do..

Congratulations!

Thank you guys :))

Thank you so much my dear friend. Thank you for this so much and so nice models

Congratulations,  many nice newcomers!!

Haha, everyone roaring except of those who are sleeping

Congratulations! Very nice newcomers!!! I can't wait to see Mojo cheetahs in new colour I'm sure they are going to look amazing after repaint

Such beautyful photos !!! Lucky critters to have come to live with you

I often read about Astronomy, I love it, mainly when they speculate how big is the Universe! Though, when they start saying that the visible Universe is the biggest thing they know, I always think: silly astronomers, they don't know Susanne's Heart yet.
I love all your additions, the sleeping gorilla is very original, Papo rearing horse is just my favorite rearing horse from all brands. I am glad she compensated the fact that you used your only Mojo lynx to repaint and send as a fantastic gift to me. It turns it even more special.
Your collection is getting shape and it is exciting to follow it. Thanks for great pictures.

Thank you very much friends :)

I agree with everything what you wrote Roger :)
Thank you for your nice words

Roger, you are wrong, - Kosta is doing a lot of work for me ( Surprise for later ), - he is so kind, he did not want to be payed, so I had to give him SOMETHING

It doesn't change my measurements, it only makes me believe more and more in multiverse or parallel universes even it seems bizarre.
I already experienced Kosta's generousness, so I know it is not illusive or consequence from gravitational lens effect.

That guy really creeps me out
Just so wonderful additions from Susanne!!! I spotted first the fab Papo mustang. I really like him Also the new lion isn't so bad I thought... I just can't understand why you need to glue his jaw...! Like why just the jaw! You can see it from miles away..
Overall great additions

Great batch Kosta And great conversation between very generous persons

Congratulations Kosta! The black horse looks really spooked from the werewolf in the first photo.
The bobcats are looking great, nothing compared to your repaint though ^^
The cheetahs indeed need some color, is that a next thing on your 'to do list'? :3

Thank you everybody :))
