News in Susanne's collection 2016. Update December 27 th :-)

Saturday was an icy cold day, with a hard wind seeming to come directly from Siberia.
But I tell you I got warm when I got the most wonderful parcel from Bulgaria  

Kosta had told me he could get two of the Mojo-models from 2015, and I was delighted that he had got them for me too.
Actually I discovered the box in the mailbox just as I was taking two of the dogs out for a little walk, but we immediately decided that it was too cold to walk, and turned back indoors  

The parcel was quite heavy !    
So I dropped Futte's rug , my boots, woolen socks, jacket, fleece jacket, sweater, gloves, scarf and wollen hat all the way from the door to the table, where I ripped the paper off the box      

And, - LOOK :

The donkey compared to the one from Schleich. I must say the copy has the best paintwork

The penguins ! It would hard to know that the new one is a copy if we did not see them together

Some lovely, tiny sea creatures ! Perfect little beauties

And then  !!!! WOW !!!! A dream came true ! The mule from Nayab      
This one has been on the top of my wishlist for years, - and now I have one !!! He even brought his own grass

Funny thing is, I already had two. Somebody here at the forum found them on Amazon some years ago

Thankyou ever so much, dear Kosta
I am almost ashamed, so much you spoil me

Great acclaim congratulations susanne lot especially wonderful marine life.
The bull Mojo absolutely fantastic!

Our Bulgarian Prince of Charm is always surprising us with his generous personality!
Love all your new figures, Mojö bull is just a sumptuous figure and you got it perfectly, the peaceful way of that mule is very pleasant, etc. :)
I am curious about the penguin copy, I like the way the ear patch is painted, is the material the same as Schleich?

I`m very happy, that I made you happy with these new friends Susanne, especially with the Nayab mule  
And I`m also happy from the fact, that I`m first on your new topic for this year

First to say that I keep also one penguin for you my friend I know you like them :)

So, the material of these copies is very good...that was a good surprise for me when I saw them in real.
I found toy shops in Bulgaria, called RAYA TOYS where they sell many copies of Collecta, Schleich, Papo models.
Like I said, the material looks with good quality , hard plastic like the major brands ...the paint job is also ok for this very cheap price.
They don`t have mark on them.
Of course, they are copies and for shure not the best thing for our forum, but when I saw the donkey, I realy wanted to get one for Susanne :) And now I have coppy of the Schleich Kudu...I realy like this model and I didn`t know from where I can get the real one.
Geospiza fortis made [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] of Papo Orangutan without any mark on it... and now I know ...I saw the same orangutan in the shop :)

Also the little marine animal models I found there,
but I don`t know much about the japanese models, so if somebody can help with more info about them, like wich brand they are...?
:)

That's very kind from you again Kosta! Yes, I love penguins and Happy Kin Toys penguins I received from you are among my favorite ones.
Which Schleich kudu are you referring about? The newer one? Have you found any fox?

I am very curious about "Schleich copy". I know there are lots of Schleich, Papo and Collecta cheap copy in China market on TAOBAO. Only a little bit difference for scale and painting. I haven't got them now because I think the quality is not good as big companys

Congrats Susanne! Ooh I love the Nayab donkey, never seen her before!

Sorry, I didn`t know that Schleich has a new Kudu .. , I mean THIS ONE . I got a coppy of this model
And unfortunately, no foxes from this shop .... but I have already 3-4 ``surprises`` for you ...

Very interesting newcomers! Are the little critters by Kaiyodo?

Congratulations Susanne :) What a wonderful group of newcomers :) Specially Mojo´s bull is awesome
I also like how your winter sounds like... we have our first day with snow and that is pretty unussual for my hometown. We are usually covered with snow since November :)

Very nice additions there I like the sea turtle the most.

Kosta always knows how to spoil you Susanne
A fantastic new group and a great beginning of this topic 2016!

3-4 surprises? That's fantastic!
Actually that is the newer Schleich kudu despite it is already retired. The older Schleich kudu is this one.

Congrats Susanne!I love the Mojo bear cub.

Oh, thank`s for the info Roger :) Yes, I like the newer Schleich Kudu..it is very bad , that it is already retired
And now I`m ready to say, that my surprises for you are not 3-4 .... they are 4 (for now )

Susanne, I`m sorry that with Roger, we discuss other things in your topic ...I hope it is not a problem

Congratulations on the beautiful new additions!

Congrats on such lovely additions

Thankyou for all the nice comments
Kosta, thankyou for telling more details about these wonderful models , - btw, what does the words on the paper on the reindeer mean ?

Congratulations on these beautiful newcomers!

A very good start on the new year! There are so many beautiful models, the penguin and donkey copies also. The Mojo animals is just as nice as I was hoping. Congratulation with this wonderful package, and hurray for Kosta!

Thank you Tove

4 is better than 3 for sure! I am sure Susanne is not angry with us and we are not off topic at all. In this forum it is hard to be off topic as long as we talk about toy animal figures and generous friends. Schleich kudu is one of these fantastic figures that are not best sellers and represent a huge effort in terms of manufacturing, it explains why it has such a short life.

Congratulations Susanne! Lovely additions! I like especially the bull and the sea creatures!

Also my second additions this year, are thanks to Kosta  

In [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] , Kosta showed a link to Aliexpress,  where we could get 8 of the adoreable, little horses from Panini  
And today they arrived  
Funny thing is, that Aliexpress is usually a place where Asian people sell, - but these came from Sweeden  
They were brand new, and very nicely packed .
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

At first I thought they were speaking Sweedish, but when they were let out of the bags, it turned out that they speak Italian  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

It seemed that they had beein packed for a while, and at first they had a problem standing.
This made it quite difficult to take pictures  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Well, they got a bit of massage and some warm water on the legs. Having cooled down outdoors in the snow it went much better  
Please notice the fine details on such little models !
It is especially impressive how well most of them show the different breeds , - better than many of the more well known models  
But some breeds look so similar these days, it is almost impossible to distinguish  

First the Tinker :
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

A paint pony, - I am sure she must be a Shetland :
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

No doubt here : A Haflinger !!!! Lovely , lovely  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

A beautyful Lipizzan. Look at the profile, totally correct
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

This could easily be an old fashioned hanoverian :
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I think this is a mustang :
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Ha! An Icelandic horse !
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And the well known, beautyful Fjord.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Now it is a question if I can find the bay, the gray and the two missing black horses, - but I am delighted to have found these      
The fjord and the Icey I already had, and as they were gifts, of course I keep those !
Perhaps some day somebody wants to trade

I love the Panini horses Congrats Susanne!
