Willybacoman's 2010 Additions

As is said in other treads, i had to get a lot of stuff from Torben, including Bullylands, AAA's, Chap Mei, Yowies and some China stuff.
Here are the Chap Mei's, yowies and China stuff.

Then i had a pony and a lion from the McDonalds series in...

Congrats Willy. The Hippo is incredible !

Congratulations Willy, the Mandrill looks scary!

Congratulations Willy. Great additions.

Congrats Willy!!
You are a really collector!!! The Schleich hippo has a twin!!!

Thank you Christophe, i know it is just a fun item, but it looked so much like the Schleich model, that i had to buy it from Torben!

Thank you Harriet!
The mandrill isn't scary at all, he just got its hand between the doors of the elevator, and it hurts...

Thank you very much Amy , yes, there is nicer stuff as the pics might assume...

Thank you Roger, yes, i try to do my best to get in at least 30 figurines every month...

Very nice diverse lot this month :)

I haven't seen that Yowie Seahorse before. Almost makes me want to collect Yowies again

Best wishes from Germany

Torben

Thank you, Torben :)

So I'm only missing 7 from the first series, didn't realise I had that many

I once tried to buy Australian Yowies,and found some great deals,buy seriously...
400 or more is just too much for me.

I don't want to collect them all either...
I just don't have anything with insects and spiders, but they make good items for the trade...

Because i visited a zoo last saturday, and they didn't have too much in toy-animals, accept some AAA(which i bought too of course... ), i satisfied myself with some nice figurines in polystone and steatite.
Here they are:

This is actually a kind of statue, made of polystone, size 25-41 cm.
I couldn't resist this nice leopard...

These are 3 of a serie with bold eagles, much smaller in size, even smaller then Schleich

Lizard, made by Pro Garden, because it is made as a garden figurine, does anyone know the species, or is it a fantasy-model maybe?

Small World Ltd Jersey Cow, very small, which i found in a basket in a corner

I liked these two little Black rhino's too...

Already a few days, there was a box lying around at the house of my neighbours, that came with the post, but they weren't there whenever i was home.
But on sunday, i managed to get the box, and it was from my good friend Christophe, who is sending me nice surprise boxes from time to time.
When these boxes arrive, i am always excited as a little boy, as i really don't know what will be in it...
Well, to make a long story short, there were a lot of Bandai's and Playvision models in it, and one model made in China from an unknown maker.
I am very happy with them as always!
Thank you soo much mon ami, you always know how to make me happy!

Congrats Willy!!!
The leopard is very nice!

More shelves ! More shelves

Luckybacoman !

WOW ! They are so gorgeous, I love the Gnus

Merci beaucoup mon ami!
You are the best!

Thank you too Rhianna, the Bandai's are really good, and fit well into the smaller scales like 1:32, or sometimes a little bit smaller.

Uff! I spent all night searching for your lizard!!!
I saw thousands of photos and... finalyy I've found it!!!
Now I have no doubt... it's a Willyzard!!!
:)

What wonderfully fantastic surprises, Willy! Congratulations!

Great finds Willy, the Leopard and Rhinos are really lovely!

Thank you Harriet!
This crazy French macaque always knows how to surprise me!

Thanks you all guys!
Of course i need more shelves and vitrines every year, as there are between 50-200 new figurines come in every month!

Thank you Roger for doing so much research for me, and i am sorry to keep you out of your sleep...
I guess we will call it a common garden-lizard(but Willylizard was a great idea too!), as it was ment to be as a decoration in the garden.(but he is housing right on top of my TV right now... )

The leopard is awesome indeed, it is a very nice piece of decoration in my living-room.
Important to me was, that it is realistic, as there are much polystone figurines that try to be, but fail in the end...

Willie how lucky I like nice additions Hanuman Langurs and family
impala.

Beautiful additions Willy. I love the leopard and the eagles. Thanks for the photos.
