Oh the bully horse! And the papo ram...  great again!

Thanks Paige...

I am a big fan of this bullyland figure, because the horse seems to be floating in the air to jump over the obstacle.

My Papo goat is printed with 2003, and I see that TAI, have 2004......????

It happens often. 2004 was the year when Papo introduced in a comprehensive and extensive way their main animal series.
Obviously, to introduce so many animals at once, it means the work must start earlier. That's the reason why they all are marked 2003 but they were only presented as new models in 2004. The same happened with other companies but it is not always easy to reflect with precision because we don't have all catalogues. If you check other Papo figures from the starting collection, you will find they're marked 2003 but introduced on TAW as available since 2004.

Ok Roger , very interesting.

That Schleich llama aged well although a bit too small (it's smaller than Schleich alpacas). I am looking forward to see the new one.

Since Qchleich alpacas are nearly as big as an elephant, I can't see the problem.

No, they are not.

Okay they are not, they are nearly as big as an elephant since Schleich llama is also nearly as big as an elephant since it is nearly as big as a Schleich zebra which is nearly as big as an elephant.

       

Very nice again, the moose is New ray isn't it ?

The otter is bigger than I thought, it is a M+B ?

Finally the Tamiya is smaller than I expected.

Both are really nice

Again a great collection of models!

I love the models in your collection, they're always so interesting, you have so many figures that are so beautiful and that I have never seen before!
The wolf is wonderful, and the little lamb!
And I love the tiger, so realistic!

The wobbegong is a long time favorite! Congrats!

You are right, The moose is New-Ray 1993, the otter is Maia & borges, and The hippo is Tomy.

Thanks Taos, Bonnie and Saarlooswolfhound.

The lamb is schleich 73527 and the spotted wobbegong is Schleich 14559 of 2005.

Nice stuff again Fernando

Ah, that wished wobbegong. If only Schleich sells it alone instead of being part of a more expensive set with a diver, a coral and a starfish!

Several excellent models! The golden eagle, pterosaur, hyena... lovely batch!

I agree :)

Congrats on the golden eagle and lioness from the first painting batch.

Fantastic models, especially the beautiful lioness!

Lots of fabulous figures in this last picture. Getting a ride from Tas post. Is there any chance that you check the production batch of your lioness. Either telling printed numbers or checking if it has the famous tiny clock? I have a unusual interest for this kind of theories.

Sorry Fernando I haven't explained it correctly and sorry for bothering you with that. Some figures have a tiny clok marking indicating the production bath. It points to a number and to the sides to the pointer it has two numbers. In alternative you have 4 numbers painted but probably the earlier models don't have any marking and it is a relatively recent thing. Your model seems to be one of the best so probably you acquired it a long time ago. I know I got mine 10 years ago or so.

Thanks Fernando, as you bought it in 2007, it is a first batch figure. With these colors, it is still the most beautiful feline figure I know.
