Kosta, Kiki always knows how to please someone and he has a wonderful taste. Even I am used with Kiki's generousness, he always can surprise me. This lot is absolutly fabulous. Kiki always knows perfectly collectors that treasure their figures and you're surely one of them. These figures are just perfect for you and I am happy for you as they were mine.

Nothing is less sure Rogério, I'm always afraid when I send something to someone without permission    I'm happy Kosta is king enough to like them.

And as Susanne would say: They are not all gifts, - rather a kind of trade , where I am a most happy part

Here we trade gifts and share joy. Happy parts is just the desiered result!

Oh, that`s soooo true ! :)

I have something new to show here :)
Our dear friend Susanne, was ever so kind to help me with geting some Clairet models from Ebay.
She won for me these models , from two french sellers and she send me one very nice parcel...again with presents inside

I`m gonna start with one very nice giraffe model, which I already love.
It has a very special charm, which I will try to show with small walkaround :

Thank you so much dear Susanne

Congratulations for you and big hurray for Susanne :)

Beautiful newcomers! Big congratulations!

Clairet rules

...and so does your great photos

I think I never noticed before how beautiful is Clairet giraffe. Your great photos are driving me crazy!
Clairet is a remarkable brand, their figures are not perfect depictions of the real thing but manifestations of a very accurate artistic sense. Being you also an artist, it doesn't surprise me that you like them.
I believe your main goal was these panthers, fortunately variants, but the giraffe deserved the walk around. It was a good choice to compare it with the best modern giraffe.
Susanne's gifts are also very nice but that we already know!

Thank you very much Andreas, Jean-Luc and
again big THANK YOU dear Susanne

These are not from STS friends, ..I bought them and yesterday , they came :)

First I want to share my biggest surprise,

I realy liked how it was looking on a picture...with nice details, posture, paint work...

Here is the model :

When I saw this model on a photo, I thought, that it is maybe the same size as the other snakes from the major brands...like Papo Anakonda for example...
but I was soooo wrong

Tadaaaaaa

On a mark it is written, that the model is made 2008.
Ok, a couple more photos :

It is like it`s made it last month .. :)

Oooh, there's MORE All of them are beautiful, Kosta! Again, big congratulations! The snake is indeed huge, but very detailed. Great model. And I love the Panda's ANA sleeping animal figurines!

Congrats on such wonderful additions. Your photos are magnificent

Whowow, I am amazed by all the fantastic animals you have

Thank you very much for your comments Julie, Laura and Karin :)))

Congratulations for so many great figures and thanks for sharing them with so great pictures and useful information. :)
Particularly curious is the rattlesnake, I didn't know Blip Toys had so large figures and so detailed. We know the company from the Nature's Wonders that are 2006 releases and the same moulds as CollectA. Thus, normal sized toys. :)
Though, the most important is that you've found another wonderful person in this forum and Beatrice is really great!

I hope we will see your collection soon Kosta, so many great models again And your pics are really excellent

Thank you very much Roger and Kiki :)
This forum is great, becouse of the great people. You are make it great :)
Yeah, this Blip Toys Rattlesnake was a big surprise also for me
At the first 5 min ...not so happy, ..I was thinking ``What I`m gonna do with this BIG guy now..``
But more I watch it - more I like it :) The details are realy nice :)
