Thank you, Roger. Yes, it is a "Classics" subseries consisting of ten figurines (14001-14010). You can see them all in much better photos at Torben's website:

Thanks Phil! It's true, they have a similar style, for example, short legs, etc. Not realistic but Interesting as collectibles!

Was able to find the 14007 gorilla.

Yes, but they are doubles, triples, quadruples, etc...

Nice catch on the 14007, Amy... Even better, you got him for a good price, not badly overpaying

Harriet. Most of this series is very hard to find. They don't pop up very often and when they do Phil, Peter and I are usually competing for them and one of us usually wins at least one.

Susanne, I have the polar bear coming from Torben's auctions.

i think i know this little gorilla,he came with a little duck to you.
is it right?? :)

Congrats Amy!! It is nice to see the old stuff that has been made!

Ohh, I am happy to hear that
I thought that poor Torben would soon have no figueres left at all

Sure did. Happy to have this amazing gorilla join my zoo and the little duck too.

Glad everyone enjoyed the pictures and these old animals.

I got this wonderful polar bear in yesterday.

Ooooh
Tell me when you get tired of him, please

Sorry, I don't think I will get tired of this one.

Of course you won`t

Perhaps there is one more out there for me some day

I'm sure there are many more out there. They don't pop up very often, but when they do they usually pop up with several in the series.

Sweet little Polar Bear Amy, comgratulations

Thanks Harriet. I thought so too.

Congratulations on the 14008 Polar Bear in excellent condition... The museum continues to make "new additions" to the collection!!

I love your old large classics Amy. What is the background that you have behind the Polar Bear?

Thanks for sharing the pix.


Sue

They are really, really wonderful

Here are mine :

Once I had the gorilla and the elefant, too, but I let them go back, because they were very damaged

Great collection Susanne. So many with tags. Thanks for the photo.

Thanks for the comments Sue. The background is just one I took out of one of my daughters toy packages. I thought it might come in handy and it has.

Thanks Phil. The museum is indeed growing. Now time to organize it all.

Congrats Amy , i know they are hard to find!
I had the rhino first, actually it was more a kind of an accident, but i saw the Schleich markings on the belly thankfully...
Then i got 2 of the lions after that, from which one went to Torben in the past as i said.

Torben won't sell his complete collection people, but a lot of his Schleich will be gone indeed, but he had to make quick decisions, and those were more important to him, then his Schleich!
But he will be back, i promise you!!!

You do have an awesome collection of those big Classics to Susanne, awesome, and i great condition to!(why doesn't this surprise me? )
