Hi, everyone!
I happened to win in the Safari Ltd. photo contest on Facebook and the company kindly sent me 9 figures I chose as a prize. Hooray!!! :)
After 6 months since September, when the first info on Safari-2011 appeared, I have seen the new figures in person. And I was surprised in a very pleasant way!
2011 Safari animals are wonderful, almost all of them look much better in real life than on picture (this phenomenon is not new, by the way Wink).
Here are they:

My outright favorite among these is the Capybara. It is very finely sculpted and painted, and is not too large in scale. Real masterpiece and must have!!!
Here it is next to some other S. American critters for size comparison:

My second runner-up is, well, the Roadrunner – a very well-made bird!
Kudu, Indian Rhino and the trees are very good too. The cycad is especially nice.
Just look at this group of four dandys:

Moreover, I’ve got a Malayan Tapir in my collection at last! And it’s much better than the Schleich one: no chubby face, no smile, no white socks…
Once again, many thanks to Safari Ltd. for their concern and active dialogue with collectors!

BIG congratulations for winning the photo competition and all these amazing figurines, Kirill!!! They are all beautiful - I love the look of the indian Rhino, I ordered mine last week! The Capybara is fantastic too. Seeing your pictures makes me really excited about my Indian Rhino, can't wait for it to arrive.
I also really like the Mountain goat, he's gorgeous.

thanx! The Indian rhino is really great. But I like capybara even more :)
As to the goat -it's to be discontinued this year, so I couldn't miss the chance to get it.

Retiring is it, I'd better get on quick then, there's one I'm watching on ebay buy it now for only £1.89.

The Indian rhino looks like a WINNER(as far as detail), as usual just wish they would have made a little larger. Capybara looks good, my only
criticism would be maybe a little to dark brown.
Congrats on your award!

Great Kyril, I'm very happy you win the prize. AND I'M VERY HAPPY YOU LIKE YOUR NEW SAFARI Ltd. cheers

I can't avoid thinking about Ramona Pariente Very Happy Does she knows the winner is a Schleich worshipper Laughing A great victory for her indeed Very Happy king

Congrats!

Would it be too much to ask for you to show a photo of the capybara next to a Schleich figure, so I can see what size it is?

Thanks! :)

It's a winner indeed! And I'm pretty satisfied with its size.

He-he Wink Laughing Schleich worshiper, you say? I wouldn't be so categorical. :) A figurine itself is what matters to me, not the brand. And as you see in the tapir case, Safari is an inevitable winner for me. Same thing with Indian rhinos, for example.
Moreover, I'm fond of bird figurines, and Schleich bird line-up pales in comparison to Safari's Wings of the world series.

OK, I'll take a pic when I have time.
