Safari LTD Vanishing Wild Female Gray Wolf-----MINI Copies!

I first spotted this miniature copy of Safari LTD's Vanishing Wild female Gray wolf in a picture under the SUY Wolves topic...and I spent the next year or so trying to figure out the bootlegged copy's brand.

Then finally while l was looking through listings on ebay, I spotted two of them in one lot full of Lanard the Corps action figures.

I've seen copies of Safari LTD's Vanishing Wild wolf before, but never on the miniature scale like these two.

Here they are:

I'll have to admit, even though they are copies, I love them both!

Great models, congrats! Are they Lanyard the Corps brand?

It is very interesting :)

Yep! They say 1997 Lanard on the underside. :)

I find it very interesting too and very well presented! They're definitively the same design and they look equally great.

Beautyful little wulfie

Thankyou for interesting info, and for the lovely and informative pictures

Very nice wolves. It's too bad they're bootlegs, though. I kind of hope Safari will rerelease these Vanishing Wild figures in small or large sizes now. Those I'd strongly consider buying.

I thought the Wild Life Wonders line was the successor to the Vanishing Wild Collection

... and it is indeed! :)

Even though the Wildlife Wonders line was the successor of the vanishing wild series, I've always wanted the VW models to be rereleased in a smaller scale!
