Susanne's new models 2020 , December 25th: christmas present from me to me :D

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] - how is your Papo pheasant? Mine bends forward a little (where the legs meet the body). I am hoping it is just warping during shipment and not a production flaw. I have it supported for now and plan on reinforcing it with an adhesive as well.

Love that composite sun bear.

Thankyou, Max !
I adore that bear too

On my model , it is also fine.
Now watching more carefully, I saw, that the legs are glued to the body... so it is on two parts.
Maybe the way they glued on your model, it is not perfectly on the right place .. ?
Or like you said, it is just warping during shipment ... So maybe you can try to put it on hot water and check, when is cold again, is it stable.
When the model is still hot and soft, you need to leave it with the legs up, until is cold and hard again.

Thanks, Susanne and Kosta

Susanne, I am glad that the package arrived safely after a few days.

Well, the Windhund by Elastolin has a special background. We love both dogs and especially Windhunde. Also we have talked so much about dogs this year. So, the greatest joy for me is,
that you are happy with this dog and that he is now in your collection.
By the way, I also think it is a borzoi.

The bears are very special for Lineol. In total Lineol made about 31 bear models all over the years.
All are brown bears and polar bears, including a black bear variant of one model. But the panda and the sun bear are unusual. They were both added to the range in 1940 for the IV. generation.
After World War II both bears were no longer in the programme.

I also have ordered the sweet little mole and the pheasant for my collection.
But I will take the crab with my next order too.


As always, you show us such a beautiful and interesting presentations of your newcomers.
Many thanks dear Susanne.

Kosta : Ours dear, wll know Papoglue strikes again

Yvette , thankyou for the information and for your kind words

One of my Danish friends found these two on a flea market and sent them to me
They are marked Funrise 1988, and are a Knabstrupper and a Clydesdale.
Perhaps they are scatched and not the most realistic models, but I like them a lot

Wonderful additions!
They are surely very rare, and special additions from your kind friend!
They have surprisingly good muscle detail, I love the Clydesdale!

I think they are very nice and i think all Funrise series of horses are really interesting as a set. They also made a few unusual breeds. Maybe they do not look so good now because now we have brands like CollectA, Mojo, Safari, etc, making wonderful models. In 1988 competitors were not that good and some of the major brands were still giving their first steps. By the way, which one is the Fun and which is the Rise?

These old figures have a special charm.

Congrats Susanne.

Oh the knabstrupper is especially lovely! Congrats on both!

For sure both have this lovely charm.
I like them too :)
''Fun'' and ''Rise'' are wonderful newcomers for your collection.
Hurray for you nice friend

Now I also want to know , which one is the Fun and which is the Rise?

Thankyou dear friends
The Knabstrupper must be Fun, and the clydesdale is Rise, I am sure

Your friend knows you very well and, as I know you a little bit, I’m sure these two venerable horses found the best place to be loved. Hurray

Beautieful horses

Great new additions of two handsome horses

Just as I suspected and I am sure Kosta suspected the same.

Thankyou , dear friends

Ha I love your conga line! Lovely new dog house.

A meerkat? I will suggest you as the future Danish Minister of the Housing!
What a nice way to finish this year, each one in its own house it’s the safer way. Thanks for sharing, you have always a special way to present your collectibles.

A dog house!
What a wonderful addition for Christmas- for all your dog models- I'm sure they'll be very cosy now over the winter! And of course, lovely models to go in them, especially the German Shepherd!
