Susanne's 2011 newcomers

Secret until I put it into application!

Congratulations on your newest additions Susanne, very nice models!
When a model is to glossy in your or anybody elses eyes, you can treat them with a Scotch and Brite patch or so, use a little bit of dishwash-soap and water, and srub carefully untill you reach what you want.
But i would never do that to be honest, i like a model to be original as it was made.
It is a matter of collecting for the model, or the reality, what you want...

Once again Roger has sent me the most fantastic package from Portugal
It was one of the most exiting packages I have ever had, because it was so full of surprises, many of the figueres I had never even seen pictures of before, so I unpacked, ... and unpacked, - and....

The wonderful little hedgehog from CollectA. I even think this one is retired. Isn`t it SO cute

Here Colhedgehoggie says hello to the new friends from Schleich

AND : No less than 3 dinoes from CollectA !
My first dinoes from this brand, but hopefully not the last ones, they are 1000 times more fascinating than the pictures indicate

They like to stick together, but slowly they will get used to being here and spread around

The wonderful, little Parrotosaurus says hello to Westie and wags his salamander-tail.
Sorry, sorry, he shouts to me, that he is a Psittacosaurus
He is SO adorable, I just love this little guy, and he is going to stand right next to the procynosuchus, another of the figueres I cherish very, very much !

And then the little tigerkitten from Shing Hing got a Mom, they pur so the windows rattle

A new donkey And a pig and a lamb. They are from Atosa, I think it iis the same as Nayab ?
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

When I saw the pig, I immediately thought of the old Sow 13208 from Schleich, but they are not the same, - the new one os a boar

And a new fox, together with the cutest koala and a fine reindeer

Hurrayyy for Roger, the best Crocbert in the world
Thankyou for all the time and thought and kindness you have put into this fabulous package !

Mmmm, catalogs
Congrats Susanne

Congratulation Susanne

Wow Susanne, what a brilliant package, so many wonderful figurines!!! Love the hedgehog, oh he's so sweet And the bears are gorgeous too, they all are. Congratulations on getting the catalogues too!

Thanks for your words generous friend!
I'm glad you liked it! :)
I don't have 2011 CollectA catalogue but I don't think the hedgehog is retired.
Thanks to show him with the Schleich friends!
The Atosa figures are Nayab with different painting! There's a set with the sow and piglet and a rabbit! Pig:
The bears are surprisingly nice, mainly when we know that the pair costs more or less the same of a Schleich hedgehog! They are not in my wish list but already in Nicole's collection! :)
Soon I'll show the fantastic figures Susanne has sent me!

I don`t have the catalogue either, but the one they have at MPF looks different :

So I think the one you sent is already a rarity

You're right, Susanne, there's no photo your hedgehog on Collecta's official site, so I also assume it's retired.
And I have to admit I like it more than the new one.

Yes! You are right! I haven't noticed that CollectA have a new hedgehog!
You have the 2006 CollectA 88017 and this is the 2011 CollectA 88458!
You are lucky, you have the retired and 2011 have unless 2 new hedgehogs! The new CollectA and the Mojo Fun!

Congrats Susanne! I love the Grizzly bear family!!

Wonderful gift, how nice from Roger side!!! Lovely figures, congratulations Susanne
Rogbert must be the most friendly Crocodile on this planet

Wow, Susanne, you got a fantastic package! I really love the bears :)

Hurrayyy, I also got a cake box

Wonderful, wonderful figueres, some from my wishlist, and some that I didn`t even now existed.
Roger is an expert in finding these great surprises for me, HURRAY for Rogerbert, the world famous, Portuguese croccodile

Some great Bullyland-figueres. I have been sighing for that little bear for ages ! The Sct Bernard and the zebra also fit spot-on in my collection, you will see it in the pictures
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And the big surprise : A wonderful little flock from Miniland !
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

The cute little Miniland-monkey immediately took posession of the house! He is a real monkey, he climbs everywhere
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

A wolf and a bighorn, I love them

With my old camera it often gives the best photoes to shot outdoors, but then it began to rain. Look at those clouds, aren`t they impressive ?
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

So we moved indoors, here the new Bernhard together with the old and tired one I had
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Here the farm animals from Miniworld, - yipppe, a new donkey
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

The birds were very noisy, they had so much fun, - very happy to meet the ones from Schleich, they were sure they were family
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Look, see ! The new, little grizzly was just the one I was missing to complete my collection of little, brown bears
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And the zebra
I only had the mini-microes. Now there is a zebra-representative of the "real" size
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Without you, my collection would be very booring

They are all lovely!! Hurray for Roger That little bear is so adorable the monkey looks very cheeky Congratulations Susanne!!

Congratulation Susanne

And thankyou, Kristie , - he is somewhat larger, - more like Schleich-donkeys :

Look in the background of the picture, - a saluki with both tail and ears up

Fidda just saw a cat

Oh he is bigger!!! Thanks for showing the comparison!

Fidda!

I'm glad you like the figures and surprisingly they arrived safe! I never send so many figures in a small cake box!!!
But... your collection is everything but not bored! ...and surely not because of few figures I've found!
I'm also very curious about brands, that's the reason I'm collecting foxes from different brands.... and without you my fox collection will never had half the figures it has.
Ah, is true, I'm a famous crocodile... when I go for a walk a lot of children surrounds me saying: "Eh, I know you from STS"!

I am sure they do, Roger

Oh, yes, you had packed the figueres very, very well. And a solid plastic bag aound them inside the box, that is always a very good idea, - even the best box can get damaged, but the bag prevents them from falling out

Congrats Susanne

Thankyou, Robertbert

Really nice animals!!!!!!!! Congratulation!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful new additions, Susanne! Thanks Roger for making our forum livelier!
We are very lucky to have such a generous member with us!
