Ahah, same thing here ! I collected video games figures when I was a teenager (so cliché !)

The cat is the Safari clouded leopard and the bird is my Schleich specially made female ostrich

This is an amazing, beautyful, huge, collection

And you are only 14 years old ?

I was quite ill when I was 5, and my mom asked people to give me animal models ( Reisler were the only ones in Denmar back then ) instead of candy.
So I had a HUGE collection when I was 14, - around 50 models , I think

Thank you Susanne :)

Thanks for the pic Adam, I wish I had a female ostrich like yours...

I also have this specially made Schleich leutistic giraffe baby

I am glad you've managed a way to upload the pictures of your collection.
As I told you privately, you have an impressive collection and quite huge considering your age. I hope you continue your collecting hobby for a long time, 14 years is an age that many things change, including our tastes and interests. If someone tells you that animal toys are only for kids, you know all of us, we are kids but with bigger numbers in our ages.
Susanne mentioned she had around 50 figures when she was 14 years old and you can see now how huge is Susanne's collection. But remember, the size is not the most important but the joy it gives to us, thus, what makes Susanne's collection very special is how much she enjoys it. Please keep enjoying your collection too and I hope we continue all enjoying it for many years!

Thank you Roger, I probably won't move on in interests as I love the natural world. I stopped officially playing with my animals in 2018 so now they reside on the shelves until I take them out for photos.

Great collection Adam!!!!

Thank you kindly Taylor :)

Great collection Adam!

Say never never

But dont sale if you change your mind, it could be only for a few years

I was very happy that i never sold my old figures as i restart my collection :)

Even if my interests moved on I would never sell any of my collection.

Thank you Lucky Luke, your collection is amazing too.

Great to finally see your legendary collection. It is stunning. Have you catalogued it? It's a bit boring to do it, but when you are older, you will be happy that you recorded when you got the models and who gave them to you.

Finally, after so long time after you started participating here in the forums and I had the pleasure of meet you virtually, I can see detailed pics of your collection as well as the nice furniture that holds it!
Your collection is incredibly amazing and huge, what don't surprise me since you often get loads and loads of figures in very short time.
Please, which brand is the biggest African elephant, the one that is next to the giraffes? Could you post a pic of it side by side with the CollectA white rhino?

The brand of the African elephant is AAA and I have a photo of them separately but you can see the size difference as they are taken in the same place: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I have catalogued my wild life and sea life in species and number of them. If a member or family got me a figure I would certainly remember who as I have an amazing long term memory.
