Roger's 2016 arrivals!!! ... 26th August update

Following the STS tradition of last years, I will also open a new year topic for my additions. Previous topic is so big that the forum has split it in two halves. :)
Again I'm stepping up some additions. Those are from two last parcels I received, one from Yvette and another from Susanne!

From Yvette I made a very important acquisition, a kind of forbidden figure for me these days, though Yvette, as usual, sold it to me for an irrefusable price and thanks to her I have again one of those figures from our dreams and that we think we could never get it.

The Lineol 4th generation oryx, a vintage composition figure of a superior quality, something that we can only appreciate correctly in hands.

I acquired also some CollectA with her help once she shared an online shop with incredibly unexpensive prices.

She surprised me completely with the Safari gila monster, a small and very interesting figurine that I never acquired before because we always need to make choices and some very wanted get on stand by list.

Well, and that traditional Breyer sitting donkey in box is a unbelievable gift from Susanne, you can see it below with another much older Breyer donkey that was also a gift from a member on forum, namely, Carolynn.

Oh, Kosta and Susanne, I confess that your gifts helped me to save some money to get that very special figure and now I find that you haven't got it because I antecipated you? I think it is not fair for you but I know you're two great persons and that you understand it. I almost gave up asking Yvette once that oryx is always extremly expensive at EBAY but I wasn't strong enough and I ended asking. Fortunately Yvette sold it for a very friendly price and, although I shouldn't spend money, I couldn't resist to such a big chance. I am really happy with that figure and I wish, much sincerely, that you both can get one of these oryxes in future, you'll love it!

Marvellous oryx in your collection .

In these days....Roger is really happy .

Papo marabou in my list too.

Congratz on all of them
The box of the donkey says; sprit of the horse and that is funny i think haha

Wonderful group Congrats :)

Beautiful newcomers! Lots of treasures! Lots of congrats!

Congratulations on such lovely acquisitions

Thanks Fernando @Dum-my Martin :) Tove and Laura!

Congrats Roger! Sweet add-on {Lineol 4th generation oryx}

Wow !

Congrats

Thanks Ken, Flyffy and Robert!


Recently, I received a surprise box from a great friend from Bulgaria! Yes, you guessed, it was Kosta!
Always very generous and a very good taste to please others!
I want to start with this small rhino, a 3D printed figurine. A figure that represents the future of our hobby. It was made by a Bulgarian company that used an advanced technology to scan a stuffed white rhinoceros that belongs to the collection of the Natural History Museum of Sofia
I am really pleased with that figure, as a collector it represents something new... an new world.
We loose the artistic interpretation of the sculptor but the final result, unless in terms of proportions is obviously excellent!
It is written in Bulgarian but I htink it is sold in the museum as a souvenir. No scale reference I could notice but probably something around 1:60.

Something quite boring for me is not being able of doing justice to figures with my poor pics. Though, you can see this impressive Mojö Fun Spanish bull in other topics.
Kosta knew I liked the figure and that was enough to he include it in the surprise box. That's my favorite representative of this animal for sure!

Yes, Bulgarian friend also knows I love penguins and included one of these top quality copies. That is literally a Schleich copy, made of a top quality material. I don't know about copyrights or so but the figure is a perfect copy of Schleich emperor penguin.

Three called Bag figures that Kosta bought for me in an online shop dedicated to German vintage toys!
Very inspired designs!

Some foxes too, of course!

Something very peculiar in my collection, my 3rd Starlux fox! Shock:
I have already the original Starlux, a copy I received from DutchBear, now Kosta is sending me this very curious souvenir with the same fox sculpt on a wooden base with mushrooms and a fir tree!
Really shocked about how many uses were given to this fox. Kosta told me he remembered these "sets" since he was a kid and as soon as he found one, he thought in sending it to my fox collection!

To the end, a masterpiece. the Kaiyodo Choco Q Series 6 Hokkaido Red Fox Figure (Vulpes vulpes schrencki).
The first representative of this subspecies in my collection, just WOW!!!

By the way, does anyone knows the differences between that fox and the Ezo fox from series 1?

Kosta, many thanks for this wonderful package, it is a very special feeling to receive a surprise box full of great figures like this one only because you wanted to please a friend!

Congrats, Roger, you got very nice additions!

The vintage German ones are Domplast or Heinerle or Manurba, I have these too but in darker version. The first Domplast animal is marten (not fox) :)

I get the feeling those surprise boxes are getting more popular on STS

Very nice new animals you got from Kosta All those new foxes, especially the first one.
And oooohhhhh, the Kaiyodo one! A subspecies, yay!

Very interesting newcomers, big congratulations for you and a hurray for Kosta :)

Roger, very neat additions, congratulations! I especially like your foxes, of course The Kaiyodo Hokkaido red fox is a true beauty; I think it was one of my first Kaiyodo figurines. Lovely additions, I hope you're fox collection keeps growing like this

WOW FOUR new foxes for your flock
So beautyful and unusual ! I don't know which ones I love most, but the little "diorama" is ever so lovely

And the mojo Bull ! The 3D rhino, - and the great pingu are great collectors wonderful items !

HURRAAAAAY for Kosta, and congratulations, Croger

Thanks Jarda, Karin, Andreas, Julie and Susanne!

Thanks Jarda, I fixed my mistake here and in my foxes topic where Christophe provided the exact same information. It looks actually a marten but I see foxes everywhere.
Nice to know the brand too and actually I am equally happy that it is a marten, they're not very common in toy shape and I love these creatures.
