Xanthe's new additions

Xhante, not wanting to be selfish, do you think a Moon Fox should belong to a collection of foxes like the one you can see in my signature? It is actually a pretty fantasy figure and it makes me think that Schleich may release a fennec during next years in that same pose. However, the important is that you got some new additions and they look fantastic!

Ohhhh! Those little Bayala fantasy animals are SO lovely

I try to be strong, but seing your wonderful pictures, it is very, very hard not to get them on my wishlist

Roger - I think it depends, do you want to collect every existing fox figure or are you just collecting ones that are realistic and fit together as a group? I think if you like any figure and it calls you to get it then why not? :) I can always take more pictures of it for you if you'd like!

Susanne - They really are! It's a struggle every day for me not to buy more haha

I want to collect all foxes that intend to be realistic even if they are very far from it. I intend also that my foxes tell a little about the history of this hobby representing several manufacturers, scales and materials. It is also a symbol of this wonderful community. Though, I have also some foxes that are not realistic and also do not intend to be. ... then, there are other foxes that I really like and may add to my collection like this one from Schleich or, for example, the Plastoy fox from "The Little Prince". Sometimes I think I am too ambitious as a fox collector.

Well I guess you could argue the moon fox being realistic either way! For me, I collect the schleich fantasy figures because they make fantasy creatures look realistic unlike many other toy brands, for example my little pony.. *shudders* clearly they are not real animals, but they are still very detailed and beautifully made! I think if you care about your collection as much as you clearly do, you shouldn't add figures to it just for the sake of it. But if a figure calls you to add him to your collection then you should. As long as you love it, that's the main thing :-D your fox collection is very impressive!! And it really shows how dedicated you are to your collection.

Thanks for your words, Xanthe! I understand and I agree with you.
