My collection!

So, everyone, I have got some new figures!

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Two of them are more Mojo kitties! The white tiger and the lioness. I got the tiger because, even though it´s probably one of the most common animals to be adapted as figures, I didn´t have one yet. And the lioness... well, lions are social kitties, so my male needed a mate!

And the final one! This figure doesn´t belong to any brand. I bought it at a local medieval-themed fair. There were several other figures but I didn´t have much money with me (I wasn´t even planning on buying anything, but as soon as I saw dragons, there went my self-control...).It´s a lovely little dragon that is (quite literally) coming out of it´s shell!

Mojö lioness is a particularly good figure, Just after Papo, Mojö literally rules.
The dragon hatching is a very surprising find, have you got it in Óbidos? I love medieval fairs, I never considered to get figures there and there is already a long time since I visited an event like that.

Thank you. Andreas!

And thank you too, Roger! No, it wasn´t in Óbidos, it was in Alhos Vedros, the town I live in. They have organized the medieval fair here annually for... about 10 years or so, I think. But I don´t remember seeing these figures for sale there until this year! They had a large variety of them. The largest ones were expensive (going for 120 euros) but, believe me, if I could afford them, I wouldn´t think twice! They were all amazing, and one of them was an impressive dragon in a snow-white color. They had very small eggs that only went for 3 euros, larger ones like this one I have that were 6 euros, and the medium figures that went from 12 to 30 euros. One of those medium ones was a nice diorama of a mother dragon watching her eggs hatching. They didn´t have only dragons, they also had elves and skulls. I never thought I would find nice figures on a medieval fair too!

The fair will be back next year if things go according to plan, and I hope that the two men that owned the stand will come too! I will likely be saving so I can buy a bigger one if they do return!

Beauuuutyful kitties

I agree with Roger, - Mojo has made some really fine cats !!!

The baby-dragon is lovely also

Alhos Vedros! How nice! I visited some years ago that village, my beloved 90 years old Aunt was born there although she lives in Olhão since a little girl. Though, she always wanted to revisit the village she was born and once, I had the chance of taking her to Alhos Vedros. We sometimes talk about that visit, it was quite funny actually once we've found some of her family. I remember especially the old Parish church that ahs some medieval elements and that is probably one of the reasons why there is a medieval fair in Alhos Vedros. Maybe next time, I'll try to visit the fair too and see these interesting figures you're referring if they return to the fair.

Sorry, everyone, for not having answered the posts sooner. Unfortunately, my PC got some NASTY virus that nearly ruined it. It was being fixed for the entire last week. Now, it is back to normal, I hope.

Thank you Susanne! Indeed, Mojo kitties haven´t disappointed me so far!

And you too, Roger! It´s true what they say... this world is too small! Not only was your aunt born in the village I live in, she has family here too! I went to Olhão once, and it´s a nice place too! It has one of the warmest beaches in the country for me!

The fair is actually always set near and around that same church you mentioned. It´s a cool event, my only complaint is that, since it attracts a lot of people, it can get so much crowded that it´s hard to see it properly. Still, it´s a good way to spend a bit of your time, especially when there is the chance of buying figures! If you can, I recommend visiting it!

Well, today I don´t bring you a new figure update! Instead, I want to show you all my new shelf for the figures I already own! The only ones that are not here are the toob creatures I bought months ago. Those ones are in my desk!

Bought it for a nice, relatively cheap price. I will likely buy another, larger one if my collection starts to become too big to fit here. But until then, this one does just fine! What do you think of it?

This is an awesome display! You have a fantastic collection of schleich dinosaurs and dragons and they really look great on your new shelf. I hope you continue filling it with other amazing creatures.

Great display of your collection!

Beautyful display

The models look great with the black background

That's a nice display. You can stuff lots of figures in there if you want.
I always appreciate a fellow dragon lover.
...I've got a little dragon collection of my own.

I like it in black and it is not yet disturbing your life as I see.

Thank you, barracudacat, Anne, Andreas, Susanne, Simone and Roger!

I hope that it soon becomes even more full, barracudacat!

I´m glad you like the color, Susanne, Roger! Black happens to be my favourite color, so that was why I bought this version of the shelf. But after I saw that the more colorful models didn´t make a jarring contrast, I became even happier with it!

Do you have, perhaps, one of these Schleich models in your dragon collection, Simone? I spent a long time without going to see if Schleich was offering anything new in their fantasy line, and then BOOM. Hit with all these cool dragon models!

No, I don't have any Schleich dragons. Although I have been tempted a few times. (I really like the Diver Dragon.)
All my dragons are from McFarlane.
But they don't make them anymore.

That´s unfortunate, indeed. I have yet to get the Diver Dragon, but, indeed, it looks quite cool! Especially since I lack water creatures in my collection. The only oneS I have are the sea snake and the bat ray from Safari´s Venomous Creatures toob.

The water dragons from McFarlane were the ones that got me into collecting dragons in the first place.
They were so beautiful and graceful.
Next monday I have 2 weeks off and I was planning to take a few pictures of my animal collection for the STS Forum.
I will make sure to also take a picture of my dragon collection and post it here for you.

Please do, Simone! And thank you!

Oh dear! Susanne got all enthousiastic as well! I better hurry!

The McFarlane water dragons as promised...
And now I'm fully aware that I probably need to take a few photographer courses before I start taking pictures of my collection. LOL
But this will have to do for now.

Don´t worry, Simone, the quality of the photo is great!

And here I am with my jaw literally on the floor... WHY DON´T THEY MAKE THEM ANYMORE?! They are absolutely stunning! I love how alien-like they look.

Congratulations on this lovely dragon collection, Simone! They are one of the best dragon figures I´ve ever seen!
