sunny's collection

I like the penguins too. I have the Elastolins, but the ZZ Riesen are perhaps better. What size are they? ZZ Riesen often made their copies in a different size from the originals. Great to see feeding camels, or who knows, drinking. When you have a different pose, it's almost like you have a different species.

Lovely new models Annette!

Congratulation Annette
Your yellow antelopes are Heinerle Springboks and your Camels and felines are Manurba.
Your cows and donkeys look like Fontanini
At last your ZZ Riesen are inspired by The Hausser elastolin ones

thank you Christophe! I was just thinking that the small antelopes look like springboks:)
the standing cow and donkey are a composition, but the sitting ones are plastic. Are all 4 by Fontanini then?

thank you about the Riesen! there is so much history and weaving in all these models (in my brain it's like a big tangle )

Thank you Roger. I shall check out the Elastolin ones.
I will get the measurements for you!
Yes the feeding/drinking camels are amazing. And I agree, a different pose just makes everything seem even more wonderful!

Lovely additions, that penguin family is so charming and the solid colored hoofed animals are all so beautiful, such slender legs!

The Hausser elastolin I was talking about aren't the 1/32 ones, Hausser made some "Composition size" plastic models in the 60's, among them these penguins. Pictured with a Schleich man.

The flocked animals are beautiful, very nice models!
I saw also on your wish list many flocked animals by the German company Wagner Künstlerschutz.

Yes I just adore these small cutesy type animals, with adorable faces and thin little legs and toy like proportions.
I've seen different types, but most seem to be made in Germany.

my penguins are packed away somewhere! but I did come across some models I got last year.

These are the Disney blue eared zebras, the elegant giraffes and the nicely sculpted elephants. From out of nowhere so many started appearing, and now I have some nice herds!

the elephants have adopted their protective shield - someone is being cared for!

who could it be?

the danger has gone! let's see who the elephants were protecting -
aah a little baby foal!

and here compared to the Britains African elephant

I have some Takara Tomy sea life figures. I really love these jointed moveable models. They have so much personality.
You might notice a Kinder Surprise Killer Whale in amongst the pod? and a baby orca too, it's a clip together model from something called Dangerous 80 or 90? I can't remember, but some of them are exceptionally good models, and as 1/32n scale.

And some really cute Loch Ness monsters as well

I love how the sea lions have fine whiskers on their face and they can be moved into the diving position.

I added in some sharks I already had.

and my dimetrodon has a new friend from France, a Salvat Dimetrodon
as you can see they are exceptionally happy together!
many enormous thanks to kind generous Roger!

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Superb figures Annette! I am still in love with your vintage dimetrodon... so glad it now has a friend.

Wonderful new stuff

Great models I like the Disney animals, they have a lot of character.

I'm glad the Dimetrodon found a good place to live. However, there's no France in this story. I'm from Portugal, Salvat is a publishing company from Spain and this model, released around 2001, is a slightly larger copy of a Bullyland model which is from Germany. Now it lives in the UK and the new owner has a French name. So there is France on it.

oh! goodness me! what a klutz I am ha ha ha
sorry Roger that's what I get posting late at night!

yes indeed the Dimetrodon is a pan European model! and we can be more specific and say I am from Scotland
and ofcourse - this beautiful model came from Portugal

thank you Balaenoptera, great to hear you like these Disney models too! :)

Nice additions Annette

I have a soft spot for the Disney elephant, it is really very nice.

I'm probably to old to appreciate "too much articulated" toys, I was even too old at Playmobils dawn I must admit that these Takara Tomy are very well made, I have the Indian rhinoceros of course

Dimetrodon Salvat has quite a personality, the two make a nice couple

There's no problem at all and since you are from the country of the Loch Ness, I forgive you.

Nice dimetrodonts, and beautiful photos.

I have a few Playmobils as well! Do you have the Playmobil rhino? I think they are also very well made, with nice details to their animals.

That's great you have the Takara rhino!

Yes my dimetrodons are happy together
