2014 : Year of the hippo :-D

It seems that lots of brands have decided to make new hippos in 2014  
I have found 9, - perhaps there are more ?
A great sight, isn't it ?

Are there more new hippos fintroduced in 2014 ?
Please show a picture, if you have one

Wow! So many hippos! Congrats!

The dangerous hippo army:) Congratulations Susanne :)

Thanks for posting this- I love group pictures! It could be a year's worth of figures, just in hippos... I've never seen that Bullyland baby, it's quite the individual. I think I like the repainted old Safari more than the new. I thought the old baby was getting repainted, but this one is new (there's not two, are there?). They're all so nice together, I probably shouldn't look too long.

Do we know any friends here online that collect all kinds and sorts of hippo's?
So not only from the toycompany's?
I have some for trade i will put in de Trades/Sales section.

I am happy the pictures are useful to you, A.R.

No, the Safari baby is new, not just a repaint . As far as I know, the old one was completely retired after a long life. It is marked 1996

The new Bullyland hippo-calf is actually a little gem, - and quite overlooked
As far as I can see, it is a very realistic model of a baby hippo only an hour old, or such  - also the colour
The size, however, goes better with the old, larger model.

Susanne,

In your opinion, which is the best?

Uhh, it is hard to say !

The pygmys are fantastic, - also because they are so rare.
And the Bullyland calf is lovely - the only new-borne one I know of
The Eikoh one is SO cute, and the new Safaris a dramatic models on a shelf ....
Bullyland's adult hippo is very nice to the touch, - a great toy for smaller children :)

But perhaps the most correct one is the Papo one in her quiet way ?
Her proportions are certainly the best, and her colour is very nice also

Something for everyone's taste, I am sure

But should I choose , it would be the baby-Bully first, then Collecta, and then I would throw a coin

very moderate answer!

I will only get the Papo & collecta for sure!

Have you more photos of the female from Papo?

That's a post filled with some great hippos!
My personal favorites are the papo and collectA  new ones. Is that new safari mom the one from the banner? She's looking so much better in the banner xo Good that safari also gave a new color for this one with closed mouth. Much better!

You are right, - after seing the ansvers to the topic, I can see it is a comparisons-topic, even if I thought it was a "brands do the same" - topic
I will try if I can move it

Here are the pictures I took for TAI :

Yes, it is the same

Thank you, Susanne for the walk through and this is really helps a lot! Safari also not bad on 2014 release. But did not put into consideration as the feet is a bit oversize and somehow the wildlife wonder version did a better job than this.

Thank you very much! Goes into my wish list...

Wow! Lots of nice hippos were released this year.
Papo and CollectA. That Bullyland newborn is darling.

Nice thread Susanne! I also just got the Papo Hippopotamus Cow. I think it is fabulous. One of my absolute favorites of this year. Right now, I'd put it at the top of my hippo list. I love it.

Aawwww, so many amazingly cute hippos What a lovely topic
