He asked me which models are in my wish list...and I told him that I like some of the Safari Vanishing Wild animals..but I am afraid, that they are very expensive and hard to find..
But look what he gave me as a present : the Jaguar And it was his only model..from his collection

Thank you so much Roger :) ..My collection is groing very fast thank`s to you friends :)

Congratulations again Kosta:) i especially like the Numbat!!

A whole flock of beauties , WOW

That jaguar is AWESOME, - and the rhino is one of the Britains I like best of all

CONGRATULATIONS to you , And hurray for the Portuguese crocodile

Hurray for Roger and congrats for you

That rhino is just excellent, and the lion one of Schleich's finest of the species, I find. Congratulations on the models - and hooray for the generous Roger!

Big congrats!

Thank you friends, for your comments :)

Kosta, as you know, I am really happy you got these figures and that you like them. That is the most important for me!
Thanks also to others reference to my generousness, though, these figures were just a simple way to say thanks to Kosta that was truly generous sending to me a repainted Iberian lynx without ever receiving anything from me... and that lynx is one of my jewels!

Congratulation Kosta for your new adds and for beeing a Pagrosuc man

Thank you :))

Let me show you one interesting wild cat which was in my wish list.
I saw it in a Susanne`s topic and I realy wanted to find this model:
The Chap mei Caracal :)
I have this figure as one more present from Jarda

Thank you very much Jarda :)

Hmm, I found this model very nice, but also very strange... it look`s like a caracal, but has very long tail and diferent color...
I think , I want to customize it...and make it look`s like a real caracal.
Maybe to cut the tail and change the color...
What do you think guys?
Any suggestions ? :)

Kosta, congratulations for your new wild cat. That's a paradigmatic Chap Mei figure with all what this brand loves to give us. First, a very expressive animal with exagerated features, then, a figure with poor scientific accuracy. Actually, that figure was used as a lynx once it was from an Arctic set and there's no caracals there. Later, it was also repainted and used like a snow leopard. How is it possible to see a snow leopard in that cat?
That pattern could also not serve for a caracal, maybe more for a serval but poor anyway.
I don't know if it is a good idea to turn it in a caracal. I know you can do it perfectly but the figure is not properly banal and has collecting interest. Not easy to find at all and I think its bizarre nature have some artistic interest.
On the other hand, I cannot think in a easy to find figure that head/ears could fit better to a recognizable caracal shape. If it was in bad shape I would tell you to customize it, but like that it is a hard decision.

Congratulations, you have the lynxcaracalsnowleopard!

Thank you Roger...and I absolutely agree with you, with everything :)
On one hand I want to keep it like that - it`s interesting model for my collection.
On the other hand, I think that can look`s very good like caracal if I change it. And I like tha caracal cat very much..also for now I didn`t see other toy brand to have a caracal model (please correct me if I`m wrong..)
I still don`t know.... :)

Kosta, I am glad you understood everything. I can see I typed it too fast and it is confuse.
I can't access Toy Animal Wiki at the moment but there aren't many caracals. I think it is time to one of major brands make one. Once we suspected Mojo was releasing it but I am almost sure it was never planned.
I've found on forum some small and not very good ones from Play Visions Yowies and Starlux. Of course I love all of them for different reasons, mainly the artistic Starlux. Though, you can always ask if Agata (Fisva), still have one of her homemade caracals available. I have it myself.
