A tricky job - can't wait to see

Every one is wonderful. Those dogs !!!!

I think the bison is actually a Marolin model, even if they were taken over by VEB Plaho during the USSR period.

...All these so great models for my collection... from my dear dear friend Susanne  
Thank you very very much !
                   

These are a lot of gifts!
I love and own most of these CollectA wild animals, they belong to a group of top quality figures from major brands. The Safari African wild dog also belongs to this group with the advantage of being older. I think the Amur leopard doesn't belong to this group but after your repaint I am sure it will gain a new life.
I am intrigued with your lion, it is the hollow and big from the Wild Republic African polybag, isn't it? Though, it seems to be an Asiatic lion what is he doing in an African polybag... a Safari?

ABSOLUTALY GORGEOUS gifts, Kosta! Big congrats!
I have African Wild Dog and Maned Wolf, they are absolutaly wonderful! Some days ago I visited Moscow Zoo with my friend, she was astonished by Maned Wolf. Unfortunately, we could see him/her at a glimpse, but my friend went around of aviary for some minutes to see this wolf again
Hope your Amur Leopard will get a new life!

Wonderful additions again Kosta :)

Beautiful newcomers! Big congratulations!

Yes, you got the CollectA Shire mare!!
Also the others are also great to own, big congrats Kosta

Thank you very much friends :)))

Yeah, it is hollow and big :) If it is Asiatic.....I have no idea , what is he doing in an African polybag
Perhaps they try to make an African lion...?!? :)

Such beautyful pictures

I am delighted that you like them all, - even those that were not on your wishlist

That's what I like, happy parts! Fortunately I know both of you and you two are gens!
... and I learned something new, an Asiatic lion in an African polybag is an African lion... does Linnaeus knew it?

I`m very happy to show you a very nice banch of small models... where the new, young models, meat oldies :)

BIG Thank you Kiki  
You made Kosta very happy with them :)

Wonderful additions Kosta :)

Thank you Andreas :))

Kiki did a great job selecting those beautiful big wild cats for you Kosta
The Eikoh black panther is such a slender beauty, you are very lucky to have her, all of them actually

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.
Can you make a little comparison picture of the Hausser lioness together with the Eikoh lioness?

FANTASTIC models All of them

Thank you very much Karin, Roger and Susanne

Are these photos helping? :)

Kosta, more than helping your photos are killing me. I have the Hausser lady and now I see the Eikoh is only slightly larger. Excellent pictures and many thanks!

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
