Nice. Is it a domesticated goat or a wild animal?

Wild animal, a ibex

Many thanks friends

Presumably a female Ibex (small horns). Size-wise, does it go well with the Hausser Elastolin or Starlux male Ibex?

I dont have these figures

Ah, sorry, I didn't expect that there are still figures missing even in your collection

I found your Starlux ibex :

Are you sure you don't have the Hausser Elastolin?

I believe that is a Clairet ibex. They are little smaller than Starlux. And i have a few Elastolin and Starlux figures. In the beginning i dont know the differences and so i post some old brands together. I can share a comparision pics with other species, but not with another ibex.

I have not followed the whole of this dialogue, but here are an Elastolin and a Starluc ibex

Oh, that huge ibex i have. I was thinking about a smaller plastic version by Elastolin. That ibex is to huge for my taste, so it is more a figure from the background.

This is your Starlux ibex, Andreas:

It's the same as Susanne's ibex on the right, but a different (later) colour. Susanne, your photo with the Elastolin composite ibex is very interesting. The Starlux is almost an exact copy! The photo is perfect, I wish I could take such photos even with my camera. Are there other examples of where Starlux copied Elastolin?

The composite Elastolin must be much bigger than Andreas's Acedo, but I wondered about the later 56 mm Weichplastik Hausser Elastolin:

Thankyou very much
We know you make very, very fine photos. Razor sharp with beautyful perspective and composition :)

But I miss a camera, which I bought on a Dutch site 10 days ago...so far it has reached Belgium for some weird reason
Sorry, I have to let a little steam out here )

Hmmm, offhand I can't think of other models where Starlux copied Elastolin ( or others), but I am not an expert in either of them

So here Roger,
