I told it sometime ago and I was sure!
Congratulations, those are nice additions for a extra hard collector! :)

Congratulations on some wonderful additions.
Great choices on the sea life, those are many of my favorites.

Wonderful stuff I really like those Heroes from Schleich with their companion animals

Congrats Anna!!

Congrats Anna!

Fantastic new additions Anna!
There is some really great stuff between them!

Nice gifts Anna! Your collection is impressive!

That's a lot of new stuff! Congrats!

Wow! Great additions Anna! Congratulations! Your collection is amazing and growing in fantastic speed

Great additions, congratulations!
The small kudu is generic Chinese figure, in some countries shipped as "The Nine Products" together with hyena, ostrich, flamingo, baboon, gnu and scimitar oryx, some days ago I found in one local store in the Czech Republic that set slightly modified (the scimitar oryx is missing here) and sold as "Animal Kingdom".

@Sumo; Thanx for the help The little horses are realy nice, I wonder if there are any more of those breyer copies. (I dont realy like "real" breyer. They are realy good looking, but too fragile for my taste, and in many cases, too big)

@Vivien; Yes, they are two different lots, some are finer than other, but I like all of them.

@Harriet; I dont know, it doesnt have any marking under But it´s sure wonderful

@Susanne; Thanx, glad you liked them, and thanx for identify the camels as riesler
The fishes are about 2cm, I think.
Yes, of course it has to be Eddie Murphy, otherwise it´s not donkey for real. Pus in boots are also great, and I cant wait for his movie

@Widukind, Ken yeo, Ana; Thanx guys

@Roger; Yes it sure is. I hope this year will be as good, or even better, when it comes to animals

@Jarda; thanx for the explenation on the kudu

@Widukind; Thanx Andreas

@Tiermann; Yes, there are soo much beautiful sea-animals, unfortunetly, they are often very expensive, and since they are so big, they are hard to find place for But I will get all of them... someday

@Dlfrogman; Yes, they are great, but expensive (but these of course, I got for free. Thanx mum!)
I still miss the porcupine, but I´m getting that one this year

@Ken yeo; Thanx

@Izzy; Thanx kristie I cant wait eather I know I will buy the new 2012, the dressage and eventing horse sets and the porcupine, but I have no idéa what kind of other animals I might find. Hopefully some great retired schleich (maybe even the black and white beagle Hey, a girl can dream, right )

@Willybacoman; Thanx Willy

@Wildheart; Thanx mihnea

@Roger; Well, I dont know about that I don t know how many animals torben have, but I think he still have more than me, at least in quality, if not in quantity

But the quality of my collection have grown a lot the last year, since I sorted out and got rid of a lot of "junk" animals, that just took up space (I think I sorted out about 1500 animals or more) and now I´m more selective with what I buy

This is what I got so far when it comes to "good" animals;

Schleich; 616 (plus 63 mini, cute creatures and classics)
Bullyland; 257
Safari; 296
Papo; 142
CollectA; 70
Dinosaurs (schleich, bully, safari, papo); 58

and a few of the others;

Britains ltd; 142
k&m and PV; 222
AAA; 202
New-ray; 83
chap mei; 55
bugs; 277
sealife; 336

And about 4500 more (reisler, old ones, top-toy, funrise, m.e.g, farm, horses, dogs, cats, wild, dinosaurs, snakes, lizzards etc etc etc)
So, sure, it´s a pretty big collection

That's really impressive! I think that the only brand I have more figures than you is Mojo Fun! But it will change very soon, I'm sure!
You must make a website with all of your collection. I'd loved to see all of your Safari and Britaiins!

Very impressive Anna!
I am sure your collection is bigger then Torbens, as he sold almost everything, and his name is now "The Collector without collection", but you never know if he is starting again some day...
And your collection is bigger then mine to, because you are able to buy more then me, specially the last months...
Very good collecting anyway!

Fantastic lot of new animals Anna! Congratulations!

He did? Oh, I did not know that. So sad, he had such a wonderful collection



@Ana; Thanx

Yeah, but sometimes other things in life are more important then collecting animal-models, like a new house for example!

Yes, sometimes we have to make a choice

Many years ago when I was studying, I had to make a choice : Did I want to smoke, or did I want to eat for the next 6 months ...

As I am still here, you can guess what I chose
