It's crowded with very beautiful people!

Oh. You added the Southlands grey kangaroo to your collection. I planned to include it as a surprise gift with the salamanders and fishes that are waiting for your reply :-(

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

It must be like that
Congratulations Adam !
Wonderful new models for your collection

Congratulations on SO many models!
How lucky- so many and all so wonderful- very good choices! And I'm glad you decided to pick up the Peterkin reptiles in the end- they're definitely wonderful models! And I think I can spot the Safari dingo too- an excellent choice, I love this canine model!
And on top of all this you also managed to add even more 2021 Schleich- including the gorgeous poodle!!

Thank you everybody,

and I am sorry Isidro, I don't pick the figures. I just give my family my wishlist and then they buy what they fancy and is available at that moment in time

I'm happy that your family loves you so much :)

Special congrats for the Peterkin figures. I really like the chameleon

Thank you Andreas, I agree the Peterkin are much nicer than I previously thought, and the chameleon is certainly one of the best figures in the set

I see that you have the CollectA Komodo. So, is a comparison with Schleich and the other ones possible ?

Can do my friend

After becoming caught up with school, the animals, and my many other priorities I have forgotten to share with you all my fantastic 'new' additions from Paige and Roy Swetsie, the first photo is the ones from Paige, and the second from Roy

And for the third photo. I was recently browsing eBay for anything that caught my eye and first of all the Schleich female giraffe from 1998, which I needed to complete my family of this generation, and they look like Angolan giraffes, so that is what they'll be. I was so happy to find her for only £8 in wonderful condition! But then....................... I spy this job lot of figures, which is a pricey £25 for 10 or so Chinamals but then in the far right hand corner, tucked away, the Safari golden eagle is sat there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I double checked it on the TAI, and sure enough it was!!!! After contacting the seller, they said they wouldn't mind at all me just having this figure, not in the lot, for a very, very decent £6. And today it finally arrived, I cannot contain my excitement

Excellent models! And great eye on the eagle, thats a rarity my collection still needs. Congrats on all!

Thank you Paige, if I ever see another golden eagle I know who to send it to

Among all these great additions, the eagle was surely a golden find. That's the way, people that can get some treasures lost among random toys, can often get very good surprises.

The general public may have encouraged Schleich to make their animals cuter, but one thing is for sure, they will have extreme rarities that they will know nothing about, and that is just wonderful

Thank you Roger!

Intersting batch, in the first photo, I like the zebras and the horned guan.

Giraffe and flamingo in the second Photo and the rare eagle in the third one.

Congratulations Adam !
Many wonderful models you have here

Congratulations

Thank you, you three

WOW !!! Your collection grows in big jumps and leaps !!!"

And then, - hurraaaay - a break to enjoy this wonderful old golden eagle !!!

Congratulations with all these beautyful and intresting news

Soooooo many models, sooo many additions- and all of them are wonderful!
Amazing that you found the rare golden eagle too, it's such a lovely model!
And... all those dogs!
Sooo many vintage Puppy in my Pockets, I love each and very one of them, so much character in these figures! You found some real beauties like the Sheltie, Airedale, Corgi and Cocker- so many dogs- wow!

Thank you all, and I knew that you Lilias would see the dogs

Isidro: The boa is actually the K&M. I acquired the Safari in April 2020

Sunny: I'm not sure if they are 1/32 but yes I can take photos for you, any figures you want a comparison with?, just a side note, I only own 4 Britains which are the Friesian cattle from 1984
