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

Paige was the secret to help you completing the illusive collection of horses From Safari Farm series. When we think a Schleich retired figure is rare, we are often wrong, they're actually very common when compared with long retired Safari. This Palomino colt was not already available in Safari 1998catalogue, it is a very long time for Safari standards! I am really happy that you completed this series, we can see all your collection here! this page could be a reference for future Safari collectors, something that didn't existed at all when you started your collection. Congratulations also for your rodeo sets, they have a pleasant design, but considering my personal collecting interests, the focus goes to that zebra!

Thankyou very much ladies and Crocodile

You are so right !!! I remeber how I was searching for some information of the retired Safari models. There seemed to be noting on the internet !!!
We are still missing pictures of several Incerdible Creatures, though. And then there is the mighty mistury of the three seemingly completely unknown Three first families of Vanishing Wild

Btw, - does anybody know how to make Google-search suggest TAI ?

Congrats Susannes for these great acquisitions :)

Congrats! A lot of lovely additions!

Thankyou, dear Florian and dear Fallon

Congratulations, especially for the zebra :)

Oh, Susanne you got the Safari Appaloosas! I was sitting in front of the Computer in the middle of the night as well and - sniff - got overbid by 1 Cent! But I grabbed all the other ones she had for sale, cows as well. I only have to remove that glue and/or repair their hooves.

Congratulations to the american Schleich Sets they are great:D

A couple of days ago, the mail-lady brought me a parcel from Norway !!! Completely unexpected !!!

The parcel was from Inger-Anne ( Anne from Norway) and inside was the most wonderful AAA elephant  
WOW ! What a delightful surprise

The new elephant is very kind , and as you can see, they get along perfectly well

Thankyou, dear Inger-Anne, for this lovely surprise

I also got two charming  old models on Ebay :

They are made of a sort of hollow composition material, and have a piece of cardboard to close the base

Does anybody know anything about them ?

And a very strange, slim Bullyland rattlesnake , made from 1998 - 2007  :

I was delighted to find this snake in totally un-used state , even if it has a strange shape for a rattler.
It is a "Bendy", with wire inside, so you can give him different poses

Susanne, unexpected surprises are the best! Anne from Norway is a pure STSer!
Unfortunately I have no idea about the lion and bear, they remind me some ornamental figures from 1980's or so but maybe they're much older and from a different category. I like the lion.

Hear, hear

About the lion and fox, - the seller sold several fine pre-war lineol models too ( but the bids went too high for me ) , - perhaps Lisanto ?

Why not Lisanto? It bears some similarities with your Lisanto polar bear. Are they manufactured the same way? Maybe Christophe knows it, he is a Lisanto addicted. :)
Lineol prewar are always very expensive, curiously my favorite are the post-war ones but obviously the older ones are more charming and precious collectables.

Wonderful and rare additions Susanne :)

Two beautiful and rare composition animals, a lion and bear that I have never seen before! Nice catches! The Bullyland snake is actually quite cute for a snake. I love the pose. Congratulations on all these wonderful additions!

Thankyou, Fallon

And I found out that the bear and lion are Lisanto so called IGETEX, which is a sort of hollow model made almost the same way as chocolate shells
