Marvelous review of the lynxes.

Vintage companies and new brands here in your photos, with interesting information

Thanks for sharing.

A phantastic overview :)

Such a wonderful picture
I can look at this picture for ever , - all are great

I could easily have turned into a lynxes collector instead of a foxes collector. Though, I was so ignorant at the time that I thought only 3 or 4 lynx figures existed. I am a proud collector of foxes and obviously I don't regret it. It also doesn't make it impossible that I start collecting lynxes too. However, I am really happy you are presenting a picture of a centurywith some remarkable models roughly at the same scale. It starts with which is probably the most famous composition lynx model and ends with the reference among modern figures. Wonderful to see other species also, as it is the bobcat, Canada lynx and especially the Mojö Iberian lynx, a very dear figure to me and to our forum. I'd love to see more Century pictures!

Thank you Sue & Lesley for this very interesting travel in the story of lynxes replicas!

To compare with other big cats, lynxes are not so commonly edited, even by modern brands and it remained rare a long time among the vintage brands.

I remember my joy discovering the lynx from Starlux in 1972, it was like a dream because this cat was not well known at this epoch and I was not expecting such a miracle!

I am always happy to discover new editions of this so beautiful cat!

Thanks, everyone! It's nice to see such interest in these animals, and how differently they have been treated by the individual sculptors.

Don't worry, Roger, the Pumas are still to come!

Thank you for this wonderful overview of the lynxes. It is great to see them from many eras all together.

Surprising and exciting choice. I don't think pumas were continuously released so I am curious to see which figures you will show. Likely Hausser will open it again.

I love Lynxes so much. And love your collection Sue & Lesley
But I love also Pumas very much... so I am waiting impatiently to see your collection of them

Great array of lynxes over the years, it seems they have looked similar in presentation of the species since the very beginning
