Christmas Acquisitions

Thanks Jonas.

Quick explanation though, this year has been crazy for my family. We've been traveling trying to help my grandma with cutting wood and making mends to her 1945 house and things, and we've had weddings and trips to help out family members etc. etc. and then our own house (when we were actually in it, which this summer was maybe one week out of a month) we had our own problems to deal with (mouse infestations, house repairs etc.) And in all the places we went, I rarely got to go visit new toy stores to see what they had. (I'm always scouting out new sources for figures, since my home town has limited selection of even schleich and safari) Anyways, for me and my older brother, the only two living at home now, we were the only ones around to help fix and do things. So to make up for a rather un-fun summer and hectic autumn and an even more insane winter (so far) my parents tried to make it up to us for Christmas for all our help. And because animal collecting is my favorite thing... these figures made up most of my Christmas.

Sounds like your year has been such a busy one with full of work! I think it's great your family has helped other people even though you've your own things going on... These animals were the prize of your hard work and I bet you like them a lot!

I'll say it again, that's one grand haul, though doubtless very well deserved!

Beautiful new animals.

Please, more pics of fish that is near of coelacanth,

what brand is? what size ?

Yes, it has been quite a year for us. Tons of hard work, long hours, sweltering heat or freezing cold, and of course I also started my first year of College so things have been busy. And of course I enjoy them! The best thing is the toobs gave me some animals I don't have many of in my collection, like the armadillo. Anyways, thanks guys.

The fish is from Safari ltd., specifically the cryptids toob. Its called the furry trout, apparently its about an old legend from some North American Indians about a furry trout mythical creature. I like cryptids and find them interesting so I wanted it. I will try to post a fewer closer shots here in the next few days when I have some time.
