CBIOV Limited edition pack "Yangtze Finless Porpoise" + Sichuan takin : Some pictures (UPDATED with IMGUR)

Hello friends !
I got the special limited edition pack "Yangtze Finless Porpoise"made by CBIOV. There is a resin base, tree porpoises (darker than in the standard edition), three cards, and a "plastic window" covering the base. I got this set on Helputao. The parcel is arrived in only four days from China. I sadly got the base with a broken corner but I glued the broken pieces (three small parts) and I covered the cracks with super glue before repainting. Then I covered with a spray to protect the painting and making the base shinning again on the right side. It wasn't easy but I think it must be good now :)
The box is very nice but the corners weren't well protected (it wasn't the same case last time I ordered from the same seller). In general the service was good for my order and the parcel arrived "enough" safe but the weight makes the parcel louder and more fragile. I can say I had "chance" with only a corner damaged because even with a protection in the original box, the parcel is fragile and too sudden movements can damage it inside.

Here is the corner I repared. It looks more like a small defect in the resin during the moulding. What do you think about this "operation" ?

Here is the Sichuan takin, which one I got before the Yangtze finless porpoises. The package was perfect an all is arrived in perfect condition.

But why the expensive special edition?

Me too ! I asked on Facebook if some people got the same problem and Nathan (Takama) replied me he has publicities and it is almost impossible to work with Photobucket. I have the same problem. I think Photobucket is dead :/

Thank you :)

I think it's more expensive than the "standard" edition of the porpoises with base because there is "plastic window" to cover the base and because the porpoises are darker. I got it for 110 Eur with shipping. It is 90 Eur for the set and 20 Eur of shipping from China. However it is DHL Express and it came in four days from China and in "good" condition, even if it is fragile (I made the experience with a broken corner as I said). I think it is a good service. The first order I made from the same seller on Helputao was the takin and it is arrived in one week with a perfect service. The box wasn't damaged. The seller even gave me a 2017 CollectA catalog :)

Saw these on Facebook
Sad that photos are not working.
Looks like you must upgrade your photobucket account to share these photos.

Photobucket is weird nowadays.

It is strange they don't appear because yesterday they were visible when I uploaded them from IMGUR

Now I can see your so very great newcomers too! These are really treasures for every collection.
Also the wonderful design of the cards and boxes.

It is nice you can see the pictures

NOW I can see the first pictures

What wonderful porpoises, - and the takin is marvellous also

The picture from your shelf is just stunning

Wow, what a wonderful lot of animals!!! The porpoises are splendid!! I like the takin too Great additions, your collection is incredible, Florian!!

Thank you very much Susanne and Anna

Very beautiful, Florian!
Yes, with the Photobucket problem we lost a lot of pictures on forum, your previous topics were particularly mutilated what makes us very sad.
I am glad you keep posting and using now Imgur, these pictures were resized but they take so long to load.
I'd love to know if you have time and plan to recover some of your old topics, especially walk arounds.

I just discovered the existence of these figures a while ago! I tried to search in Google about them, but found almost nothing except forum posts and pinterest images. Please please please can you provide me a link to a seller that export them to Spain? I'm in love with this takin, very similar to Anna's takin but maybe for an affordable price... and I need also a finless porpoise in my collection
