Show us yours: non kangaroo marsupials...

Hi, as my suggestion for the show us yours for december was one of the winners i was asked to open the thread.  

I'd love to see everybody's marsupials, other than kangaroos.

Let's start with my girlfriend, Tamara's, Koala collection...

Thank you Susanne :)

Good that it was useful. I did not know either, - perhaps we Scandinavians are at disadvantage, because we have very few words which originate from Latin or Greek ?

Well, we probably shouldn't complain. I admire the people not only have to learn completely different words, but also new letters

At long last I found a little time to find some of the models of these marvellous and interesting critters
They are hiding in different boxes, so I start today with my Tasmanian Devils    

First the faces :

Then the tails, - funny how tails can look almost as different as the faces

The two from Science & Nature could easily be parent and young :

Yowies. The left one is an English Tassy, while the mean looking guy to the right is Australian, - I wonder who got it right

CollectA and McDonald, - very different temperament      
Both face ...

Love your idea of making a kind of mini SUY of Tasmanian devils, it is so nice to see them all together. I think the difference between McDonald's' and CollectA's is dietetics. McD devil shows the face of a kid when he spots a McDonald's, the CollectA devil shows the face of a kid when Mom doesn't let him go.

Nice tasmanian animals.Susanne

Marsupial poster is treasure.

Thanks for sharing

Nice little devils :)

Now my thylacines  

Seing these models, I cant help thinking : ohhh, how horrible that the most invasive species of all ( Homo not-very-sapiens ) has killed these beautyful, unusual creature to extinction    
Looking at the pictures that Google shows, certainly isn't for the faint hearted  

But at least there are several wonderful models, and I am the happy owner of four of them:
Made by : Mojo Fun, Hand made by Joan , Colorata and Albert Heijn

The cute little fellow from Albert Heijn, from the series of extinct animals:

The wild-wild one from Colorata's series of endangered animals

Beautyful male from Mojo !!
I love the pose, - what is he looking at ? Something very interesting, I think  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And last, - the beautyful mother and baby, - Joan Milelire made them a couple of years ago.
Again CollectA is more or less copying Joan's model, and this year we will see a lovely and extraordinary mother-and-baby from the most inventive brand of all

I don't have one ...
BUT
i like looking at all your animals :) there are cute :)
Only the tasmanian devil doen't look that nice... don;t want to cross on in real life

TWO more wombats this year  
And - ohhh joy ! Both are females  

The light one is from Safari, and the dark one is from Safari CollectA. Both are ever so lovely, and still so different...I wonder if they are different species ?

The dar wombat has a cub that is about to climb out of her pouch, while the pouch of the large one is empty,but open, - I wonder if her cub is out exploring ?

Both are cute :)

Two nice wombats! Funny that both are females, presented in two different ways! Congrats and thanks for showing them. (The dark one is from CollectA, not Safari. ) I am waiting for a parcel to arrive of the nearest days with both these lovely ladies.

The Safari one could be a Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat (Lasiorhinus latifrons).
Both figures are wonderful. 

Yes, these are different species. The one from Collecta should represent an common wombat (Vombatus ursinus hirsutus)
or an Tasmanian wombat (Vombatus ursinus tasmaniensis) (both are possible), while the one from Safari represents an
Southern hairy-nosed wombat (Lasiorhinus latifrons).
Have a look here. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Both are very nice models, they are both on my wishlist

Thankyou , dear Andreas, Tove, Simone and Bonobo

Yes , that was what I thought too

Oooh I just adore marsupials Thanks for sharing all these wonderful pics, it makes me even more determined to get some more

Nice to see these two together! I love both, I am glad that both companies introduced wombats in their ranges and although they did it in the same year, they are different species as it was already mentioned. They also have possible but extremely different colors and their sizes go nicely. The pouch details are interesting and the joey gives a special touch to the CollectA figure. A good way to identify both hairynosed wombats from the common wombat is seeing the shape of their ears, common wombats have them rounded while other two species have them pointed. Also, CollectA confirmed that their figure is a common wombat. I want both!

Mine arrived today! They are so lovely, and I'm sure you will not regret buying them. The only thing is, in my eyes the Safari wombat has a little too big hands on its forelimbs. She will be able to dig big holes with them.
