1. white-handed gibbon, Hylobates lar (Papo, 2013)
2. eastern gorilla, Gorilla beringei (Schleich, 2017)
It was a tough choice between this figure and the one by Safari.
3. western gorilla, Gorilla gorilla (CollectA, 2006)
4. common chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes (Safari LTD, 2016)
I have the bonobo from Safari's 2019 Primates TOOB, but it is too small for my taste. I will keep it on the back burner for now, in hopes it inspires a company to produce a standard-sized figure.
5. †Gigantopithecus giganteus (Just Play - Disney's A Jungle Book, 2016)
This figure represents the character King Louie from the 2016 live action/CGI Disney movie, A Jungle Book. Interestingly, King Louie did not appear in Kipling's original stories; the character was created for the 1967 animated film by Disney and was represented by an orangutan. Then the movie was remade in 2016, they changed the character from an orangutan to Gigantopithecus as orangutans do not occur in India, but Gigantopithecus did. If we accept my species-level identification of G. giganteus which lived in India (the other species, G. blackii, is known from China), it scales well with the other big apes shown here!
6. Bornean orangutan, Pongo pygmaeus (Safari LTD, 2006)
7. Sumatran orangutan, Pongo abelii [community-based ID] (CollectA, 2015)
Is it just me, or does it look like the Sumatran orangutan is photo-bombing this pic? :)

Evolution of Man, by Safari LTD (Safariology, 2014).
A couple of these are cartoony, I will admit, but it is a great chance to get 5 hominids in one set. The older Bullyland set is probably better, but hard to come by these days.

1. †Australopithecus afarensis
2. 'handy man', †Homo habilis
3. 'erect man', †Homo erectus
4. neanderthal, †Homo neanderthalensis
5. modern human, Homo sapiens sapiens

Ressembles the Schleich female but it is a nice little orangutan.

Thanks

beautiful family!

Thanks to your pic, I added the Papo female

Nice family

They look very nice together and it is wonderful that they show different poses and designs.

I adore that Schleich model of a mother sitting with her baby !!!

One of the many times we see how close they are to us, is the way ape moms have loving eye contact with their little one

Just look at these two magnificent beasts!
Rebor's gorilla in white tuxedo and Safari ltd.'s orangutan in casual look.

Amazing! Rebor's gorilla is just stunning, so much detail, and so is the wonderful Safari!

  So realistic!.. and frightening!

They remind me of two men, of whom we hear a lot these days
