- How do they compare in size with stablemate horses?
They were designed to work with Stablemates horses and riders and props, so they should be the same scale; at least I've seen them look fine with the later, bigger rider sculpts - you can see a horse alongside a bull and a couple of people in this IdentifyYourBreyer shot |

| Thank you everyone! I admit, I just bought a very reasonably priced Louie on ebay so my collection will soon be complete. :)
Roger they are stablemate scale and intended to go with the horses (as seen in George's linked playset photo). I can take some comparison shots but it will have to wait until this weekend, so stay posted! _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

| Congratulations! Getting the last one bought before the end of the year, you can count that set as completed in 2021 even though he'll likely arrive in 2022 now. |

Well done completing your collection, always a good feeling, especially if you have been trying to find them all for a long time. Thanks for the photo, George and thanks for the promised photo, Paige (there is absolutely no hurry). I'd seen the playset photo before, but it's small and the perspective doesn't help with the size comparison. I know, I am very particular about scale (sorry). Are these bulls meant to represent specific breeds? |

| Thank you all! Roger I will try to snap your comparison pic tomorrow. These PBR bulls are often mixed breed. Not focused on pedigree or purity, simply focused on athleticism. Many have brahma, angus, longhorn, or even spanish fighting bull history. But in the end they are all mixed breed. Fun in my opinion as this makes each one unique. One last post to finish an approx. 15 year journey and a now complete collection. 2022 is off to a good start for me! Loco Louie is now home (bottom right).

| Thank you Jill! Roger, here is a photo for you. I grabbed a few different animals that I have and a few different horses... hopefully you can get an idea of scale from it. Let me know if I can help any further!

| The more I see of these little bull sculpts, the more I like them - so much action and strength in the poses. And I'd feel fine about owning these, rather than fighting bulls, cos the sport's not about hurting or killing them like bullfighting - they're properly looked after and have a long career, and go on to happy ranch retirement at stud when they're done with competitions |

| Thank you Andreas, George, Lilias, and Kelly. These bulls live very nice lives during and after competition careers. They are athletes just like any other animal or sport, and to read about the personalities of them is very entertaining! For instance, Little Yellow Jacket (one of my all time favorites) is said to have known and understood his job. In the chute and ring he was like the devil and flung riders left and right like a master contortionist. But the second it was over, he would calmly walk back into his trailer awaiting his dinner just like a puppy, and was the friendliest bull out on pasture when his owners were around. :) Goes to show that even "dumb" cows aren't so stupid as most people think (goes to show what we know!). I decided to share these as I was too excited to get them. Originally I was thinking I was only going to keep 2 models from this package, but upon closer inspection they are each exciting! Firstly these WingMau (previously known as XX) models. The snakes were most exciting! There is a rubber boa (a special reptile present in my own state) and a western blind snake! All of these turned out to be exiciting but those in particular. And this is nearly a complete set! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Then the lizards too, same brand. I had many of these but the new ones are all color variations! Keeping them for now, but I may decide to keep only one variant later on. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Now the only figure I miss completely in this set is the flat tailed horned lizard. New on the left old on the right. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]And lastly, another set was completed, and quite by mistake. This lot was bought for the coral snake, and like many sellers the models were all just jumbled together so I could only recognize that model clearly. This PV long toed salamander (front and center) came as a fortunate surprise since its a rare model but it also completes my set! Now I need the Safari mudpuppy and all my salamanders are complete.

| A brilliant selection, just have to love those lucky co-incidences when you end up with something you weren't expecting, and the lizards are great - it's fun to have all those variations, they look really impressive all set out together. |

| Really good luck with the salamanders! I hope you can find the extra rare missing Safari. I also would love to complete that set but I am still far from it. |
