The amazing stepppe mammoth from Eofauna WALKAROUND

WOW !!!! A STEPPE mammoth  
We see models of woolly mammoths all the time, but here is one of its ancestors  

You can read about this impressive creature for instance on  Wikipedia

Eofauna is a very unusual compagny.
On their SITE we can read that they make skull casts and drawings, but it seems that this is their firs plasic model, and it is WONDERFUL

It took me some time to make a walkaround. Not because it was difficult, but the challenge is to limit the number of pictures    
But now I decided to let you see a lot of photos, - so I hope will enjoy them and not fall asleep

He comes with a data-tag, showing some percentages, - I don't know what they are  
Unfortunately I can't show a close-up, as it fell down behind the piano, and I can't get hold of it again

I am sure it is a male, - isn't he ?

One of the things that made me so utterly happy, is the feet !!!! He has REAL elephant-feet

Thankyou for watching

If anybody has more photos, please feel free to add them here

Amazona walkaround and congrats for this model!

Fantastic Walkaround! What a great looking mammoth.
I will order one too.
Thank you Susanne.

Excellent walk around with perfect pictures that give justice to that fabuulous figure. I like the way these animals are being portraied in these last years and that the old fashioned way we see in Schleich (another species) is not so common in these days. Papo made a stepe mammoth a long time ago. It is easy to think this is a real creature just from watching your first picture. I also like its movement, almost like a chalicothere despite being not related.

Thanks, friends

Ohhh! Is that a Steppe Mammoth too ?
They do not sya so in the catalogue, - but it is right that it isn't very woolly

I'll have to make a picture of the two together

Actually it didn't say it in the catalog because it really wasn't.I'm not sure Papo even knew what a Steppe Mammoth was.It was just members of the Dinosaur Toy Forum "deciding" that it was when in truth,it was no more accurate than the cavemen that came out with it at the time.So what you have in the pictures really is the first of it's kind.

As Photobucket ruined wonderful [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I am sharing here the Review on DinoToyBlog.  
A comparison picture of these two is surely a perfect complement to this topic.
Actually, @jonh2xtheman is bringing an interesting discussion.  Papo never told it was a stepe mammoth but they also never told that it was a woolly mammoth. So, it gives some freedom to collectors to discuss which species fit better in that representation. It was always relatively clear for me that a stepe mammoth was a good match, I also based it on DTF identification once the explanations seemed very plausible to me. However, it may be lack of accuracy with the traditional wish of a collector of seeing something never made before.

Yeahh
How wonderful ...today we got this great walkaround by Susanne , of this very beautiful model...
and exactly today my Eofauna Mammoth also arrived from Germany

3 words : I LOVE IT !

Great details, great life like pose, wonderful proportions , very well done paint job
and very good quality of the plastic material.
Very  balanced model !
And it is only the first one from Eofauna.
I just can`t wait for next models..
Bravo Eofauna !

And thank you Susanne for this perfect walkaround

Oh, and one more thing...
I love the size. It is just perfect.
Not so big ..but big enough. Perfect for my taste

Susanne thank you for the pics

I still don't have mine and I can't say I will buy it because of your nice walkaround... only because I already knew I will buy it

I agree Papo made first a mammoth and then a wooly mammoth with calves (odd calves ).

Papo fisrt model is more a steppe mammoth than anything else and it was a good mammoth model, one of my favorite with the Carnegie, Kinto favorite and the old Invicta. Nevertheless, Eofauna made the first Official Steppe mammoth and it is a big hit I can't wait to have mine and I can't wait to discover the next model

A very beautieful mammoth :)

Thank you Susanne. There is the comparison that was missing.
To be fair, in direct comparison, they don't really look like the same species as @jonh2xtheman suggested. Especially when observing how different are these tusks. Though, I will let it to experts.

mmmmm,,Roger,,Tusk are growing the way they want to,,but most tusks are growing the same,,

Does someone know what kind of animal would be the second animal of Eofauna? I am waiting for it.
