Oh thank you Susanne, it's the same Scale than Starlux one!

If you have the Starlux Megaceros, I would be very interested by a comparison picture too,  but no emergency! :)

I was ready to take pictures of the Giant Deer and friends, but then time sort of ....

And now Fidda ( dog) tells me (  ) that she wants to take me for her good-night walk !

TOMORROW

For some time I have not got new models, and now, suddenly I got a whole lot, or rather 3 lots

Wonderful Papo !!!

A friend of a friend sent me a mail, that she has a friend who--gasp, gasp ---wanted to sell some toy animals.
Imagine my surprise when I saw a little flock of 9 composition models !!!
I immediately fell in love with a little lion, lying on his side , but my friend's friend said that her friend would only sell them all together.
What to do ? Mail to Yvette, who ansvered that it was a very good deal.

It was not untill I got them that I realised thatboth the ostrich and the pelican are really old, they are Elastolin from beore WW 2 !

A nice ram, and I like the others also !

Wonderful lions, especially I love the youngster lying there looking like she owns the world !
But what on earth is that baby elephant ?
Do anybody know ?
The skin looks like Durolin, but have they made that kind of tusks ??  It is a very heavy little elephant

Three little bunnies who have dipped their ears in paint LOL

I got some more Schleich, but this is all for now

Susanne, your last lot of acquisitions are a truly stunning menagerie.

Great new additions! I especially like the old pelican and ostrich. They aren't just old, but very beautiful too. The Papo birds are excellent too!

So many wonderful additions! I wondered what they would be when I saw the title of 'Easter Bonnies' but then I realised they were bunnies!
Amazing to have such beautiful rare composition animals, and the Papo are of course amazing too!

Nice lot Susanne,

The pelican is marvellous.

Lots of great figures, especially those old Elastolin. What a gorgeous ostrich and that lion is magnificent.
I continue surprised with all the effort of Bullyland concerning the painting of those frogs. The peacock is quite impressive from this angle.
You got the Papo Lusitano, maybe the hairdresser is a North American native girl. Let's see how long it takes to see the Mojö Fun Lusitano.

Easter Bonnies are bunnies who have dipped their ears in paint LOL

Congratulations! There are so many beauties here I cannit pick just one. But the little lion is truly darling! What a happy day my friend. :)

Thankyou all dear friends

My Bonnies have now been changed to bunnies
Thankyou for telling me , Lillias

Beautiful new additions, those vintage pieces are lovely, I'm so glad you gave them a home! Both lions are my favorites I think. There are a lot of roaring lion models out there but something about this one is unique and captivating.

That is a major lizard improvement, also! And the papo birds are incredible, especially the magpie.

Oooooh, wonderful additions!! Need that bull for my bull-collection and the wolf cub is so cute!! Congratulations!

congratulations on so many magnificent additions!
the magpie is very impressive!
and those 2collared lizards are wonderful - they look quite 'fat'? or well fed, especially around the neck and belly ? I really like both of them! they look great together :)

I think it is very fortunate that you brought the magnificent set of old animals and keeping them all together! the last owner must have been concerned - about the friendship of the 9 animals and wanted them all in the same home. (I think that way too about all of mine )
Well done on Yvette helping you, that is so nice.
The expressions are wonderful on them! especially the gorgeous pelican and the giraffe.
What a superb collection you have there

Thankyou very much, Sunny

Wonderful additions. Especially the Papo birds. And the color variation of the lizard is very interesting

I am very happy that you think so , Andreas

Beautiful additions especially the oldies!!

At last : Pictures of the last of my March shop-amok  

For a quite some time I have been drooling over animals from the farm building with animals, - especially the brown donkey, the beagle, and the white and black cat .
I have seen the models for sale alone, but came to the conclusion that it was much ceaper to buy the whole thing, and sell the farm without animals afterwards  

It is really quite a catch, - the cow and calf are nice also, - and the tiny rat ! I also like the little pig

The criollo mare got her filly  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

All foals are cute, but what is this ??? Does the poor baby have scales ????  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

OF COURSE I must have the Iceys, even if I grid my teeth whenever I look at them  
Schleich !!!! Can't you find an artist who is able to look at the building of a special breed of horses ?
The worst is not the shiny, plastic-look or the my-little-pony mane and tail.
It is the croup !!!
An Icelandic horse has a long, sloping crop, otherwise it can not go Tölt !
For the same reason it can't and doesn't lift the tail like that .
Icelandic breeders find such a liftet tail both ugly and somewhat ridiculous, - it is not polite to show you anus for all to see

A pony called Spotty ! Of course that is a MUST for me  
This model has been used in many colours by Schleich, but I love this one.
The girl is quite charming also
Here you see him together with the one from Tip Toy ( Ravensburger)

And then : The gorgeous new perlino and grey from WIA

That's it for March 2022, the most sunny March ever measured in Denmark

Lots of great additions Susanne! Congrats!

The store I work at gets Schleich in a few times a year and even with older models the quality seems to decrease as some have this more plastic feel and less details with paint. I was actually considering getting the Icelandic horses but when they came to the store I changed my mind. They were so smooth and had hardly any texture Funny how some models this year were great like the loris and puma, but then we get these

I really love those little rats and that plain pink pig though! I wish we didn't have to buy huge sets to get these little guys

I hope your foal is not infected with a disease called Greyscale ... it means you can't touch it.
Seriously, for those who love Game of Thrones, Shireen's history and last scene is the most disturbing thing I've ever seen on a tv series. I think I will never forget it even if it is just fiction and I use to be quite neutral when watching fiction scenes.
I don't know if the Elbrador rock creatures are inspired on it too and it also witnesses fights between Ice and Fire. Well, quite out of topic now. Congratulations Susanne, I love the pig.

Congratulations Susanne

The spotted pony is very sweet, that's one of Schleich's best ever moulds in my opinion, and certainly the best of anything they're still making. I'd happily have a conga line of just that one in loads of different colours, but they don't tend to re-use moulds all that much (and mostly in sets rather than as single main releases, when it does happen), so cos we've already had it in three colours that I know of, I think they're more likely to release a different Shetland next time, than keep making my favourite one.

But I agree about the Icelandics, they'd do better as generic mixed breed child's riding ponies, the basic ordinary family pony kind, rather than show or sport ponies - bit of native and bit of crossbred, and nobody really knows who bred them and why but they end up doing gymkhana games or happy hacking or in a riding school. There's definitely nothing about the conformation, gait, or pose (or that random braiding!) that says Icelandic Horse.

But you know my feelings about the WIA pair already, simply stunning models and the only down side is that they don't have more breeds for us to buy yet

Wonderful March batches!

Such nice additions!! Keep them coming!!
