Harriet,
The Clydesdale is below "Crusader" on this page.

Oh... I like him actually

i like his head and neck, but his rear is so small he looks unbalanced. i always feel he's going to fall over onto his nose.

you're probably right.
I prefer the gloss finish to the matt - it's somewhat more appealing for some reason.
That's a great site, I've never seen a lot of these models before, I like the DW Sespe Violette and the Shetland ponies are so cute!

EDIT: I've just been looking at the cattle I want them!! that longhorn and the herefords

you and me both! Domino, the Hereford bull, is awesome.

Sespe Violette is truly spectacular. Really an amazing piece.

for that matter, most of the DW horses, cattle, and dogs are breathtaking. i'm still tickled that i was able to get a white DW Saddlebred Honora. He's so pretty! (although why they named a male Honora... )

Coming back to donkeys... In Spain we have the "burro catalán", the Catalonian donkey. I think it´s the biggest donkey breed we have, and in fact it´s big! I recently visited a dromedary and donkey farm, they also had a Spanish horse. Some of the Catalonian donkey stallions were nearly as bigger as the horse!

Gosh! That donkey is awesome

It seems there is a lot to do for the brand that decides to make breeds of donkeys!
Ohhh, if only Peter Stone would do that
Imagine 5 - 10 different breeds made by that fabulous brand

But just not those huge ones that cost hundreds and hundreds

Silvia, the Catalonian donkey is wonderful. what a good looking guy! What work does this fellow do, that he has the hair cut?


Susanne, it would be so neat if someone would do various donkey breeds! I'm not so sure i'd want it to be Stone though. i'm not terribly fond of their mules, and they seem to be doing only customs and very limited releases... all very expensive!
even teh "regular" prices are high - the little Arab mare that is my favorite was $50 for just a regular release!!! It's probably just as well, because if she were less, i'd be tempted to collect them!

Yipeee, I got hold of the cutest little donkey From Starlux, I think

Perhaps somebody can tell me a little about her, please ?
Long time no see Christophe, but in case you are there

So here is an update of my collection of very small donkeys.
The sun is out today, and it is so bright that the cream donkey from Siku completely looses details in the picture, so I also took one indoors.

On the picture from indoors, however, the gorgeous old donkey by Lineol is too dark
It is a tough life to be a collector

On the last picture you see the donkey from Lineol, which was a most fantastic gift from Sus and Lesley. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

In front a NN-donkey, the light one is by Siku, Behind it my new Starlux(?)donkey and to the right a little old one from Bullyland , first made in 1980

Congrats on your new cutie! Can you also post more photos of the Siku Donkey? I don't know anything about that brand. His pose is fantastic, very donkey-like!
And of course the Lineol...

Oh she is sooo sweet!!

Thankyou Harriet and Carolynn

There is a better picture here [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

In this string Willy explains that these little, cream-coloured models are from the 50`s or 60`s.

I have a copy of a "printscreen" picture of some more here : [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I don't know what they are... but they are wonderful!!!

Thankyou, Roger

I don't own it, but I really like the Papo Poitou donkey.
Would like to see some more pics!

Thanks!

I will grap my donkeys together tomorrow to...
I decided to get rid of my bigger farm-animals, so a few are gone right now, as the Schleich foal and the lightgrey version of the first donkey, but i still had the pics of those 2.
But there are enough left, and a lot will stay anyway...
