Congrats Adam and thank you for showing us these interesting models so early!

I have to disagree though with my friends above about the monkey's belly, at least from what I see in the pics. I think it's a very good model, detailed enough and the belly is there, just not exaggerated. Not all proboscis have extremely enormous bellies.
I roughly added some more light to Adam's photos (I hope it's OK Adam) to see the model more clear. Here it is, the belly looks average for a proboscis.

Anyway, I will get this one, to me it looks much more physical than the mojo, also it's a better size.

The Anteater also looks cool in the wiki topic Adam did, I put some light on it too:

The only problem might be the size, this will be checked in person but I think it's in a normal scale, about 1:15 - 1:16. That's acceptable.

Very interesting, you changed my mind about the monkey with those pics.

For the anteater, I think the scale will be more 1/12.

Thank you for adding light to the photos Kostas, my lighting isn't very good when the sun sets and now it's winter it is dark by half three in the afternoon.

Ben, I can get the photo with the mandrill in about an hours time, I'm not home yet.

Thank you everybody, and I also acquired another new figure, a little European robin which I found in my cake decoration box in Home Economics, so I will show that soon.

Thanks !

Yes, Kostas is absolutely right !
Thank you kosta.
My opinion of the pose stays, but for sure the model is very nice.

Great that you have gotten the new Schleich!I always find it strange how some shops have the models sooner than others,you would think they would all get them at the same time!

Try Toymaster Taylor! :)

(That's where I got mine)

I haven't seen your useful comparison pictures Adam for I spent few days on my bed with fever, thank you very much!

Hi Adam ! Will you post the mandrill comparison pic ?

Ben, I think Schleich mandrill is small compared to any other monkey. Why don't you ask Diana Monkey for comparison?

Got held up, but will post it soon

Hahahaha, the poor diana monkey will have this stigma for life

Thanks Adam for the tip!but sadly I only have Toy Barnhaus near me

It looks almost identical to Toymaster, is it different?

Went to my local Toy Barnhaus yesterday and got a lot of the 2021 Schleich but keeping them for Christmas!

Hurrah and much congratulations,

I was confused why Toy Barnhaus wouldn't have them as it seemed to be the same shop, but now it seems they do have the 2021 Schleich

Impressive batches

Thanks Christophe!

WOW !!! You must have been very good, since Santa almost rained beautyful models over you

And such a great flock from Kelly

Very interesting Schleich and Peterkins

All in all not a bad Decemeber afer all, was it ?

Thank you Susanne!

If I get in 2021 as much as you got in this batch, I’d be a really happy collector!
Really impressive and with all the passion you have for these animal figures, I am sure you deserve every single model. Congratulations and thanks for sharing with us.

Wow. great lot of animals. I see beautiful fishes, congratulations.

Wonderful additions!!

Lots of great new figures to enjoy in 2021! Is that an AAA cheetah in the first photo? It looks good!

Thank you everybody!

The cheetah is Safari Roger :)

Thanks! It looks better than on TAW.
