The SECOND STS Customized Animal Figure Swap THANK YOU Thread

Congratulations Drakulka! Great horse and fantastic work Simone

That's a great gift, Drakulka and Simone. The horse is quite imposing, and has a nice subtlety in its body color.

So beautiful models
The little Lion puma and his friends are charming, what a lovely story too. Congratulations Andy!
The horse Simone made is absolutely fantastic! Congrats Drakulka!


I had a special package waiting for me when I got home from work today. A cute doggy-box was wrapped to a beautiful paper and inside the box was a special gift from our dear friend Susanne.

Holy moly Susanne! You CAN repaint! <3
Great repaints, the faces are just beautiful. What a great package!

Oh, wow, Susanne! Those look great!

Congrats Emilia!

(I just want to say thanks for letting me play in your sandbox everyone. I truly admire the skills all of you display. I'm sorry my compliments have been a bit stilted of late.)

WOW! Susanne, I thought you said you couldn't paint!?!?!

Those are amazing!!! Huge congrats Emilia, and excellent work Susanne!

Susanne is always surprising us! First she told she doesn't feel confortable with computers. OK, she is an excellent editor on Toy Animal Wiki. Then she told she could not repaint and look how beautiful are these two dogs! Congratulations Emilia, both dogs are wonderful, interesting breed and I think it is also a honour to have something repainted from our dear Susanne!

What a lovely parcel with absolutely beautiful two dogs
I don`t know, which one is more beautiful, they both look so nice
and painted with so much enthusiasm, patience and love :)
Yes, Susanne gives us a wonderful surprise, showing us , that actualy, she can paint very well.
Bravo Susanne ! And congratulations Emilia :)
I'm looking forward for the next surprise from our dear Susanne

My package arrived last Tuesday.. And it came all the way from the USA, from the lovely LeeAnn! I'll make some decent photos as soon as all my exams are finished, and of course I'll show them here, but for now: thank you SO much, LeeAnn! Ooh how lovely that manatee will be when he's joined with his mates in my collection.. :3

Can't wait to see all the other figurines! The figurines for my SWAP partner are on their way as well, I hope he/she'll receive them soon.. ^^

And, I received today a package. Package from our Nardien - The Last Sturdust!

Yes, she arrived and made me very happy! So sweet horse! Grey shade of dun I think is also called grullo (actually grulla because it's mare), or I confused something It's colour when a black horse have dun gene.

Great work Nardien! Congrats Anna

WOW !!!! SO many beautyful models painted by caring hands

And imagine...I did not even see this topic

Thankyou, Emilie ( and other kind people   ), for the beautyful pictures and nice words of Silver and Goldy

Jen looks really cheerful, like she is breathing in nice fresh air. I also like the pink nose. I think Susanne's silver and gold concept for the two dogs is great. Congratulations everyone!

Pink nose is a great custom, it doesn't look like a horse, it looks like a good friend

My husband came home for lunch and said, "you have a package from Finland?" I told him it was probably the sts swap and he could open it if he was careful. :) He then proceeded to pull out the most beautiful quartet of miniatures and declare they were going nowhere near the kids.

I'll have to get some better pictures later, but I couldn't wait.

Thank you so much Emilia!

From the wildcats pov.  
"Guys! we got mail!" Hollered the excitable saber tooth tiger.  Little ones playing nearby came over to see what was going on.

"I got this, stand back!" He directed the welcoming committee as he used his claws to carefully cut thru the tape.

The lion cub wasn't so sure what to think of the first passenger. "Are you tall enough to be a lion?'

" I get that a lot, careful with my mane."

"Why is it growling at me?" The collectA tiger cub asked, a little worried.
"Don't worry, she won't actually bite, probably. New place and all. I think she likes you." Said a very amused tiger

Meanwhile the littlest lynx looked up at the largest arrival."Are you my new friend?" "Sure, kitten."
