Congratulations with this beauty

Great photos ! It looks like he thinks he is in heven with all that water

thank you susanne an hahayea i dont think an oryx would have seen as much water in its life haha

Lovely oryx figurines and nice photographs, Brandon! Thanks for sharing!

It is a very nice animals from Safari
Congrats you have your avatar now :3

Great pictures of an oryx in an Arabian desert oasis.
Susanne is right, now antelopes are common, specially thanks to CollectA and some other brand contributions. Though, when Safari decided to release it in 2007, antelopes were really rare. Another surprising aspect of this oryx are their horns, very thin. Companies were not so brave these days, risking in such delicate parts, when you compare it with the 5 years older Schleich gemsbok, you'll see a huge difference.
Considering all these aspects and keeping in memory that Arabian oryxes are still rare in this hobby, certainly it is a Safari monument!

As a species, it is rare of course once, just as Susanne, I don't know any other. As a figure it is relatively common because it is still available in Safari current range.
Unfortunately for you, the Schleich oryx was available only for a short time and it is retired for more than 10 years. The good part is that retired Schleich animals are much cheaper these days than 5 years ago. Good luck!

 its such a hard find the schleich oryx as i think it was only out for a year or 2 then  retired but its always been a fav schleich of mine so hopes are still high that one day i might find this model. but yea your right they are very cheap to get some of them
