/Taos' general additions update 10/2/2024

It looks that the charity shops are full with animal figures :)

Aaaww, I love that giraffe! I have it from when I was little, from a zoo gift shop. Good memories. I always thought she had a very sassy little expression. Good find!

Such a cute little giraffe calf! Great find!

What a wonderful find, I love the pose of that Giraffe!

Thank you.I have been lucky with charity shop finds of late!!

Again some more charity time finds!
Domestic duck and a rather nicely posed Chinese goose and the Toy Major GSD!

Fantastic additions, and what a lucky find with that beautiful TM GSD! This model is wonderful, so much detail and so rare now- it must have been a lovely charity shop! It reminds me very much of one the earlier Schleich versions of this breed! I would love to know how his size compares to major brand GSDs too if you have time!

Thank you.Bonnie,he's quite a big model but will get a comparison in the next few days!

Thank you so much Taylor, this is so useful to see!
You have so many wonderful GSDs, each with their own style and personality! He's quite big but still fits very well with the Schleich!
I have never seen the lovely model far left too- do you know his brand?

Thank you Bonnie.If its the brightly coloured black/tan one,its by Nature Classics.As far as I remember they also did a Siberian Husky set.

From a local car boot fair-normally a lot of cars at this  but sadly not today so only found these two!

A cute siamese and a cute little cremello(?) foal! Congrats!

Only 2, but two unusual figures :)

Wonderful finds again, I love that sweet Siamese!
Thank you so much for the information on the GSD, that's so interesting! With the Husky set you reminded me where I had seen this model before, in a photo I saved of some beautiful dogs that I've been hunting for, here:

I actually have them saved as B&M, but they must have also been sold as Nature Classics which will definitely be useful in Ebay searches, thank you! I love those Golden Retrievers!

Thank you.
Bonnie,the photo is very interesting,I will need to keep an eye out for the other sets!

Paige-according to the Pony in my pocket website its a Falabella horse!

The more brightly painted shepherd is nice, but I quite like the one on the far right. Despite its weak back and hindquarters, it seems to have a lovely expressive face. Congrats on the lovely models you have!

Thank you Kelly,the one you like is by Papo.

Another good day at the charity shops.
The large goat has China on it with a number-150512.
The horse has China on it and is nicely made.
The turkeys and the Rough Collie have China and SH on them and the male turkey also has the number-6218.
A group of made in China cats and kittens.
An unknown puppy and pteradon-this will be going for trade.
Two little guinea pigs-I have taken a picture with the Lego brick for comparison.

Especially the little cats and rodents are interesting. Do you know the serie?
