Hello dear friends!

I know, we already have a beautiful [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] in here, but let's add some details

And meet Helleon

Look at that profile:

— Hey, bro, can you show me your passport photo?
— Sure! Here it is.

Really, the fur looks very impressive!

I also like how they made muscles and bones on the legs:

But some things never change. For example, the way Papo is making toes of canids:
But (!) I was SO glad when I saw the fifth toe!

But I forgive this mistake, because they fixed other fail — now THERE IS NO BROKEN SKULLS!

Polar wolves: Safari ltd, Papo and Schleich

Toes of wolves
In my opinion Schleich is absolute leader.

the walk-around ! and my wolf is on the way though it takes long time to arrive to India

Two great walk arounds of a new released figure in a short time is an evidence about the enthusiasm around it!
Thanks Anasta for lots of great photos and interesting comments!
Now I am sure I want that Papo polar wolf, it is indisputable that I get excited anytime I see it, it is a figure unusually attractive considering how neutral is the pose. When you say Schleich is leader, I really don't know if you are referring to toes exclusively or if you mean the whole figure. My choice concepts are surely more abstract than yours but from these three, Schleich is clearly the less appealing for me. In the "why do you look at me lik that?" picture I feel that Papo wolf is shocked asking: - what breed of sheep are you?
However, I find all three figures very nice, I need one and I have the Safari already but I won't definitvely be able of resisting to another exception and the Papo wolf will join my team.

Great walk around!
It has such a lovely head [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Haha, Roger XD
Of course, over the photo with comparison of toes I mean Schleich wolf. You already know, that I like both wolves that Schleich has released in 2015. I like their anatomy — fur and painting is another question

Beautiful photos and models, thanks for the great walkaround and comparison!

I really want this wolf! Thank you for the great walkaround and comparison photos

I thought the same when I saw the pic

Thank you Anasta for the walkaround and comparison pics

I will not talk about anatomy because I'm not an expert but My choice go to the Safari Ltd and Papo, I feel they are wolves and I have not the same feeling with the Schleich, I don't know... maybe he is too polite

You know, I always can find things that I like and dislike in each figurine, so even if someone asks me to choose one wolf, I'll never be able to do it! So, I like face and legs of Schleich wolf but I don't like this sheep fur; I like Safari ltd one generally, but I feel that his raised leg and profile (side view) are a bit strange; Papo has caught wolf expression but toes are terrible and I feel like his face is missing tiny fur

Great walkaround! thanks and congrats!

Great walkaround! thanks and congrats!

Anasta, I think your choice is the best once you have all three! Wolves are also your main collecting subject so it is good that you find good points in all figures. The exact same happens with my foxes.

Wow, this wolf is really great! I love him. And he reminds me the wolf from my favourite movie "Princess Mononoke" the expression is so kind and so wild at the same time cheers:

Yes Ana !! Moro the wolf Goddess !! My favorite Director Miyazaki !! there was a beautiful figure made in Japan of Moro and San ..still available but cost a fortune !

Miyazaki? Recently I watched the 26 episodes of Conan the Future Boy, An anime I watched when I was 8 years old and that marked my childhood, I used to have nightmares with the aircrafts of the anime! Though, I loved to revisit it and I was quite addicted.

Anasta thank you to walk around and comparison photos!
They confirmed my choice to have aquired the wolf Papo Schleich and leave aside pending.
I found it not irresistible.
I saw the Papo better with his friend the sumptuous Safari Ltd.
Now I am pleasantly surprised by this wonderful couple in my collection!

Very detailed photos, thank you very much!
