Bonjour et bonne année à tous les membres de ce forum.

Voici mon choix pour la faune:
1 Springbok (Collecta)
2 Nyala des montagnes (Collecta)
3 Hippopotame femelle (Papo)
4 Mouton de Barbarie (Collecta)
5 Cobra (Papo)
6 Diable de Tasmanie (Collecta)
7 Léopard des neiges (Papo)
8 Gibbon adulte (Schleich)
9 Mandrill mâle (Schleich)
10 Ours de Malaisie (Mojo)

This is the first I have ever heard of the Eikoh brand - I never pay attention to these smaller brands making miniature animals but I like the photos shown. Does anyone have moreinformation about these wildlife models? Where do they come from? Size? Scale? Sorry to go off topic here but someone send me some info.

thanks
