Hurrrayyy, and even if this was a rater humble order, the kind people of Sandspielfiguren included a lovely, black rooster and his lovely black wife as a gift

Congrats, Susanne! The rooster and hen are Marolins and exactly these molds used Durolin for their Masse figures during Czechoslovakia era.

That is wonderful
I was thinking they remind me of something .
Marolin has a special charm !

Love the big Smilodon and the black chickens are wonderful!I need some black chickens!!

Big hug .. for any case

Some news that make me very happy  

I have just made the last picture ( Papo dog and cow) and some comparisons, but suddenly my camera just will not transfer any more pictures  
Well, better a few than none

Made by CollectA : Two wonderful horses  and a cute little poodle

And then the most extraordinary dinos - CollectA also  
The two following pictures are the ones I made for TAI. The others are stuck in my camera  

Edaphosaurus  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And Bajadasaurus with the most gorgeous hair styling  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

From Papo, - Merino ram, also with a special hair , the sneaking lioness, and the most gorgeous horned lizard
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Safari also makes wonderful dinos, here
the ankylosaurus, which has been on my wishlist for two years
and the wonderful pachycephalosaurus ( hope I spelled that right) from 2020  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

-and the new feathered deinonychus and the qianzhousaurus
The dei... is beauuutyful, but what you may not see in the picture is that the qia... has a fantastic skin, which makes him look almost alive  
( Why do they have to have names that I can't spell     )
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

A couple of Schleich models also came along  
The latest White-tailed deer family.
I resisted them for a long time, because they look rather similar to the previous ones...
but they are very beautyful  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And these three little ones had to come along
I just couldn't resist them any longer...
You know, I actually love that snow leopard, - she has the cutest face ever  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Now I'll let my camera rest for today, perhaps it will work better tomorrow  ?

Right now after seeing everyone post their snow leopards I'll get her as I can't resist any longer! The white Camrillo is very tempting, now should I get him/her?

The new dinos are marvellous and look really realistic.

I’m so happy to see you being an active collector again, Susanne. Big congrats!  

I try to resist many of new additions but thanks to your beautiful photos I feel like it will be broken soon

They love to be called complicated  
Today at the university (remotely, of course) we had a pre-defense of graduate works. My diploma subject is anthropotolerance of crows and jackdaw. I was so afraid to spell it wrong

You with your camera and I with my pc, what's happen next? I hope you can find a way to save your camera, we need your wonderful pictures on forum.
Clearly my favorites among these are horses and prehistoric. Two subjects that I am not collecting at the moment but that I like so much. I find the edaphosaurus a perfect figure, bajadasaurus incredibly cool and such a recently found creature already as a figure! Safari Ankylosaurus is magnificent as are all other Safari recently released dinos.
Papo lioness is nice, of course but excessively exagerated. Papo trying to recover its action figure style, I still like much better the first version.
Obviously you know how to show a whit-tails family even if their poses are very simple, only the fawn has its head leaning as we've seen in a few recent releases of the company. For an American Bambi, it is only missing a huge butterfly on its lifted tail. The last three are all new species to the brand, they all have cute faces.

Life as a collector is extremely hard

It is when you have people around you getting marvellous figures, and figures you can't get yourself but others can. *Cough Japanese brand figures

Roger, I surely hope there is not a "machine-virus" around

As always you get it just right !
The deer are really nice, but Bambis are extremely cute looking, there is no reason to make it cartoonish

The schelich vombat also, - they do not look so silly, but seen from the side it is fine....
but the red panda is perhaps the one that does not make me happy, - with that silly grin it does not look nearly as cute as they do in real life

Yes ! Safari has improved especially the paintwork dramatically the last couple of years, which is extremely good news !!!!!!

Dear, Adam, I understand you for sure.
But it is not like they vanish, - you have plenty of time.
Bear in mind that I, for instance, have collected for 63 years, and now I am so old that I am not interested in much else

Hopefully all the sales and trades that I am doing will get some hard to get figures I want to reside on my shelves, including some that you are helping me find, thanks

Oh ...this flock made may day ( ups..night )
Sooo many models, which I love..
And some, which I still don`t have ,
like this beautiful Exmoor Pony and the lovely Poodle. The look really nice.
The Edaphosaurus .. my favorite CollectA prehistoric creature
And of course the 3 Papo models . I really like the Merino ram and I looove the lioness .
The Safari dinos are very nice too , I also got the deinonychus and the qianzhousaurus.
Haha , I also have problem with strange names, like : qianzhousaurus. It actually has a nick name :
"Pinocchio Rex" ..because of the long face ...so you can use it Susanne :)

I agree, the Schleich Snow leo , has a wonderful face.
And about the wombat, I saw a video, where , when it opened it`s mouth , was looking almost like the Shleich model , with these teeth .. and this silly smile

I can`t wait to see the Papo dog and cow...

Piconocchio Rex
From now on, her name is Pionoccio

Thankyou for your kind words, dear Kosta ! You made my morning

Big congrats my friend! So many wonderful figures... I hope your camera cooperates soon so we can see the rest.

Oh nice.
They are so glossy.
Where did you find these?


[quote="SUSANNE"]I was firmly determined to NOT get any more composition models, but.......  

I just HAD to get this little flock of Danolin models !!
They are enormously hard to find
Two of them may not be Danolin, but 5 in one go is almost a mircle

Thankyou, dear Paige. I'll tell the camera you asked for it

Hi, Sandor !!!

I got them from a Danish e-second-hand-place called DBA ( Den Blå Avis, meaning The Blue Paper )
It used to be a paper for second hand stuff, - it was sold to Ebay and adapted to the net.
It is not an auction, you just say what you want, but of course people can give an offer.

The guy who sold it, Karsten Ree, became one of the richest men in Denmark,
and among other things he bought a small zoo near to where I live, and made it into a wonderful safari park [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Excellent photos and some beautiful figures!
I especially like most of the Dinos (that I don't collect), especially the Collecta ones are fantastic! I'm not that impressed though of the new horses, they are cool figures but we've seen better horses from Collecta I think...
The Papo horned lizard looks very beautiful, the lioness is as Roger said, exaggerated.
I really like the adult deers from Schleich, they are much better than the previous ones. The 2020 models in the last photo still confuse me though..

About dinos names and spelling.. It seems that who's making names for dinosaurs try to make people's life difficult. I mean, there has to be a rule, huh?
For me as a Greek, most of them are easy to remember because they are common greek words describing the lizard. But the spelling in English is confusing.
I mean, I can't understand why they decided to spell "Deinonychus" like that and not "Dinonychus" or simply "Dinonych" since that's what they did with the "Dinosaur" word.  
Both come from "Deinos"  (that is actually pronounced Thinόs *Thi as in this*), so shouldn't they be the same in both English words for the sake of our tongue?

Thankyou very much , Space

Ahhh!
As my old school-Latin doesnt help, I have been wondering if the names of dinos were a sort of Greek!
And then it turns out that they are double-greek
Why, then, don't they call the Deinonychus Dinonych ?
It would be easier and much more charming

Yes, that's what I said!

Great models and love the Exmoor pony!

Many thanks for the wonderful presentation. I like best the Papo Merino ram and the CollectA dinos. Hopefully, the camera will work again soon.

Beautieful additions Susanne :)

many beauties!
