Saarlooswolfhound's collection display and closeups. *Happy Update*

I missed these so beautiful butterflies displays!

Thank you everyone!

I love Muntjac deer, and this is a wonderful model, I never knew that ELC made one! It's one of the most common deer around my area, so it's nice to see a miniature version here!

That butterfly display is lovely!

I love that ELC Muntjack and I also like very much the pics I forget to comment 

It is also great to have a look on Blaine's collection in real 

I keep hoping CollectA will make a muntjac deer, but this one's not bad at all, he's really got the look and captures the weird cuteness well. ELC have some really surprisingly decent animal models (and oh, some horrendous cartoony stuff, too - I just had a look on Ebay and although there's a few figures, most of the search term 'animal' is babyish nonsense with a face, not remotely looking like actual species in an educational way, heh)

Thank you everyone.

I have this model too. Very nice, especially the pic of the beached one.

Thank you Pardo!

I found a solution for my little plants. I have been a little stressed about trying to find a way to make sure the small animals included aren't lost or the pieces falling apart (the Rafflesia has one portion that doesn't like to stay together). Found these little display domes at the dollar store! Now all I need a proper stand for the pitcher plant and they are all set.

This little guy looks so concerned

That's a great idea! I love the domes, its like a mini terrarium

The Mako is wonderful too, Safari makes the best sharks.

That is such a clever idea to display those plants! They look great! And that's a beautiful shark - right at home in that tree.

Yes, there are tree frogs, tree kangaroos and now tree sharks, no wonder there's a concerned guy in this topic.

beautiful shark photos, I love them all!
especially the one of him cruising over the kelp beds :) (broad leaf kelp;)
and the first one, in the shallows is excellent! makes you want to stay away from walking in the surf

Thank you my friends! 

Time got away from me... I have had too many things going in these last few weeks. But I will try to post a few to make up for it! 

The Schleich Shire mare. A highly controversial figure that spark MANY discussions upon her release. She was the last of the Schleich horses I bought out of blind brand loyalty. She has grown on me, though she is still not exactly to my taste. Good ol' "Princess" we forum members have dubbed her. :)

So nice that you can find time to share so nice pictures with us.
I love when a figure gets an epithet. It means it is an emblematic model and that's a fact in all regards. Also, I am not a horse collector and this is one of the Schleich horses I recognize immediately, it does not happen with most of them. Someday I will try to find who called it Princess for the first time. Curious fact is that there is at least an official Princess named figure among major brand models. It is the Bullyland Persian cat from the year 2000 and I can see some comparable things which both share.

Edit: It was [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] who baptized Princess...

I was going to tell you it was carola! She had a pretty neat avatar fanart of this model even. Long lost friends... perhaps someday we will see them here again.

A very elegant princess!

This sounds like a very interesting conversation I missed out on. Lovely pictures of her!

Perhaps someday. It is common in communities like these that friends come and go. Most of the boards with a layout similar to STS are already extinct. So I prefer to feel that STS is fortunate of having so many faithful friends posting on forum continuously for many years. and you are a good example of it. We're also being fortunate with the new friends that have been joining the forum these last years and we still have a few relatively silent members with a huge contribution to the collecting activity of our community.
I surely would love to see Carola posting on forum again as well as many other friends, I know a good number of them stopped collecting but the most important is that everyone is doing well.

Good to see Princess again

She surely is not going to starve for a very long time

Thanks for making such great photos even if you are busy .

Thank you everyone! She was a controversial model for sure but she did get one upped by the arabian mare that was released shortly after.


Here is the new Mojo flamingo. A rather nice figure even if the posture was amended last minute.

Beautiful model and pictures!

Nice flamingo
