Lovely new additions! Those rabbits are so small and detailed!

So nice that you acquired these nice figures which match nicely with your Britains. It's always impressive to see how such small figures like those rabbits are so precisely sculpted.

thank you Jolie.
Yes the rabbits are really exceptional sculpts, especially for their size.
I was very happy to get the tiny Japanese hares.

Thank you Roger. I was lucky to see the koala and the tiny cub! and then to finally own them both:)
It's amazing!
I wonder if they were bigger sculpts to begin with, and then 3D modelling scaled them down for production, being able to keep all the intricate details in them?

Love all the rabbits and hares,great selection of models!!

Great finds! The lion cub is made by Ania, it is sold together with a lioness (which is a bit too large for 1/32 scale). You can find knock-offs too, but the detailed spots suggest to me that this is an original Ania. I have never seen the koala, it's a fantastic find too. And I like your repainted Britains tiger cubs, they work very well as tigers.

Beautiful collection, thanks for sharing with us . That oryx repaint you did was jaw-dropping! You are an incredibly skilled painter and I love seeing your repaints.

Thank you Roger, and thanks for identifying the cub! I never saw the mother. And this is the first time seeing that style of cub. Where are the knock-offs? I would be interested in them I think.

Thank you about the koala. I will probably repaint it to look like a koala. I was very excited when I first saw it.

And thank you about the lion cubs that have always wanted to be tiger cubs :)

I found the knock-off cub here:

Nice hares and rabbits plate

The Ania lion cub fits perfect with Jeol !

I think the lion with a missing tail is from the same series than the unwheeled Triang rhino

Beautiful work on the oryx, such and delicate and soft paint job.

Yes the Ania fits well with the Jeol style.
Ah yes, I think so too.

I just received a long desired beastie off my wish list.
This is the 4th time I've ever seen it in 5 years and I had to buy a bundle to get it.

It's rather tiny but not Britains size. But it just looks so cute. I will have to repaint the eyes on this one.

I wonder where it comes from?? Does anyone know?

It's so lovely to receive a model that I've only ever seen photos of, and drooled over.

And his pose is very cute. I love how he is stretching up, curious.

Nice tiny treasure

Beautiful little model!!!

Congrats on finally finding a long looked for figure, that is always so rewarding and a happy moment. It is indeed a really lovely sculpt! Elegant and cute at the same time. I hope you can learn its origins, there might even be more of them. Those zebras are also super nice!! What a great sculpt!

Congratulations with the cute mouse! I remember that it was on your wishlist, great you found it. I have never seen it, I wonder whether it might be a cartoon or comic character.

it is a lovely mouse,

Thank you Jill, and yes the feeling is great. I was so excited to finally spot it, as it was the tiniest figure amongst the other animals.
At least I know there are 4 mice haha. And would be nice to find what else was made with the mouse.

I think so too, it looks rather cutesy and cartoonish but I just don't know from where.

And funnily - last time I spotted this mouse it was standing beside your polar bear! and that way I could judge the size perfectly.

Previous sightings of this cute mouse has now been 6 times in total! 6 times lucky!!
I went thru my archives to recount.


1.

interesting that it is beside a hedgehog, green frog and white kitten

I wonder if this is the same seller? the marks on the tape measure are in the same spot.
yet that first lot above sold.

5.
in amongst Britains and where I could judge the size. It's easy for me to compare any model alongside a Britains one

6.
and last of all - finally got it!
along with a huge bundle of very bendy and shiny figures. Nice foals and donkey models, and pigs.

I missed this topic for a while because I am very busy; your collection is growing up with a great diversity among 1/32 scale!

It's impressive how you can spot these tiny figures in such a huge bumble. Someof the figures look like the Cadbury Freddo and Friends series. Could the small ones be pets for the cartoon ones? Do you pet squirrells in the UK?

These photos feel so familiar, I've spent so many hours combing through large lots looking for a obscure figures without identification. I still have quite a few photos saved with critters I am still looking for. It's really fun but also so rewarding to finally find it!

Great collection, congratulations

Roger my eyes are well trained and I have very good intuition as well.

I googled the Freddos. Perhaps they are the pets then? I couldn't see any pics of them though.

Do I pet squirrels in Scotland?
As in wild squirrels? No. I feed a wild squirrel who now 1 year old. I've been feeding him every day since he was a baby (left the nest), but he is not trusting of humans and is always wary of me, though he knows me well and the way I communicate with him. And I don't 'entice' him or try to lure him to me, as I respect his space and boundaries. Which is a very good thing because of where he lives.

You are right Jill, it is rewarding and it can be fun to search thru them. Maybe pre-internet it's like rummaging in a flea market :)
