First of all : I can't tell you how happy I am to present this outstanding model Second : I see I should hve washed him before I took pictures, - a house with 2 dogs, cat, fire stove, and me , will be haunted by some very persistant dust-creatures
Pictures say more than words ! Look at all the detail , the proportions, de ballance, the..WOW !!!
First with the two Schleich doggies to show the size. They were here just at hand, but I can compare to others, if you want. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
And then some pictures, I just couldn't stop [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

This figure is a sculpture treaty. This is the kind of result one expects when paying a fortune to get a resin replica from a renowned artist and we can get this model for a few Euros. Just watching your great pictures, I have almost the same feeling of admiration that I have anytime I see a real Great Dane. Safari Ltd deserves all the praises, they were able of raise one of their dog figures to the best I've ever seen. Whoever sculpted it is a real master and I hope this sculptor continue providing us these Canine Wonders!

I am not big on domestic dogs, but this is a fine figure!

I just adore this model. I think this is the most accurate to breed I've seen, and whoever sculpted it should be very proud. And this is (if I'm not mistaken) the first XL dog breed safari has made, and they should also make more small breeds as well, they usually create medium-large breeds.

Susanne, you should not worry , that you didn`t wash it ... I don`t know a real dog , which is 100% clean ... And you know that better than me And yes, this is absolutely wonderful model from Safari , close to perfection ! Like you said : ``all the detail , the proportions, de ballance, the..WOW !!! `` Like I mentioned on the other your topic, this Safari model is my absolutely favorite for 2020. GREAT model of GREAT Dane And I was sure, that you will present it to us, with your fantastic walkarounds I love the head, I love the paws ... I love everything on it ! I also love the Papo Great Dane and together , they look just awesome... Maybe one photo of them together will be nice too :)

Aaaah, this is sooo funny!
Thank you so much for these great photos of this beautiful Great Dane. Now I think I just NEED to get this one too! (We have had a black Great Dane). On the first pictures I saw I thought the paws were too large but now they look just fine!
Thanks again!!

I love your "no-more-models" plan
