| The wonderful aardvark from Safari was retired in 2011 after 6 years production, and not long after, it was very hard to find one. I was very happy to have this rather rare model, so when it was re-launched here in 2015, I must admit that had mixed feelings Couldn't they have made a different aardvark ? But perhaps it was just a little different ? A variation ? I had to get one to compare And YESSSS !!! There IS a difference ! Look at the eyes [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The material also has a slightly different colour Taking pictures of exact colours is almost impossible, - perhaps your screen shows anothe colour tham mine does But I hope this shows that the new one is lighter, almost a little "pink" compared to the older one [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]But there is more ! Isn't the new one slimmer than the old one ? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The wonderful aardvarks thought it was enormously funny to be measured [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Yes ! When measured right behind the front legs, the old one is 2,3 cm, and the new one is 2,0 cm [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The last difference I found was their foreheads. The new one as a more flat upper forehead [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Of course it could be that one of mine is a production-variation, - perhaps other happy owners of this charming model will take a look at it ? |

| Very interesting seeing a comparison between these two! Looks like the mold is very worn out by now too. Congrats! |

| Incredible Susanne! You always can see so many differences. Particularly interesting that of the shape of the forehead. That's the same mould, surely they retouched it a little to start new production. The most important is that this is enough to turn them in two different collectibles. |

| Dear Susanne, you are our fantastic spotter and our Variations queen. It is a great topic again and i'm happy to know this aardvark improved. Nevertheless, I hope we will see "real new" aardvark in the future |

| Thanks for this topic, Susanne; I was actually looking for a comparison between these two aardvarks. Thanks |
