EIKOH walrus , - impressive detail in a small model ;-)

This year's EIKOH models contain three pinnipeds
The seal and her cub are nice, - but the walrus is fantastic  


I have taken some pictures of this great, little model, and hope you like him also  

























Who can resist such a look ?  

Aww! Who would ever guess a walrus would be cute?!

The white seal pup is EIKOH? I thought it was the Schleich one! Looks just like it!

Also a Eikoh beauty :)

Yes, they make some wonderful models, - most of them are lovely

What a beautiful model! I sure have to add some Eikoh to my collection as well Thanks for sharing, Susanne! Oh and that seal pup is so cute <3

Thankyou, dear Julie

3 wonderful models
This walrus is just great :)

Thank you for the walkaround Susanne

I like very much this walrus, I like especially the fact that it is not really a Copycat. For me, Eikoh most interesting models are the originals like the red panda, fennec fox, black panther, sitting gorilla, mandrill  or this walrus.

I comment often the attractiveness of these little Japanese figures, they're usually for the cute side but in a very good way. Actually, that seal pup is even cuter than Schleich's although I like the Schleich one a little more. They're not copies in my opinion although they looks somewhat similar.
The walrus is very detailed and again an appealing design, I believe you don't have the Britains walrus, maybe they're similar in size?
We had the luck of seeing the Eikoh spotted seal by Kiki and now you with the walrus. Eikoh is on fire!

Britains walrus is a bit smaller  I want to find enough time to make a small walruses "Back to the future" topic

A lot of Eikoh models are very very inspirated by other brands, they are not exact copies but there is an obvious filiation

Yes, we have the jackal, gazelle and many others but filiation seems more adjusted than copy. Not that it is more correct a design completely based in another with some little differences. I agree with you that the most interesting are these with their own design.
A Britains vs Eikoh walruses back to the future is an interesting idea for a topic.
