Eikoh - Animal Infinity - Giraffe

I love Giraffes and now I am happy to have this sweet model in my collection.

It also has the typical Eikoh charm especially in the face.

It comes in two parts ... japanese style of course

Here it is :

And step by step .. a small walk around it :

























With Papo :



And with PNSO :



And a Mona Lisa`s smile in a Giraffe`s style , to all of you, for a smily day

Every day a new Eikoh report! It is really exciting to awake and find always something so interesting to read and watch. I know the PNSO model has many fans but actually I think I like best the Eikoh. While the PNSO shows an abrupt movement, this Eikoh breaks all geometry with a subtle but elegant pose. Maybe the front part of the body needed to be more massive and the neck slightly longer but the figure is very graceful as a whole. The way the neck is curved or the tail following the right hindleg with the body mass responding harmoniously, makes this model particularly beautiful from behind. I think the head is also good with generous horns. They didn't get the Mona Lisa smile with an evident cameloid expression but it is fine anyway.
Pattern is that of a reticulated giraffe but without the rich chestnut colors of the Papo model, are those the colors of a Rothschild's? I suspect Roger will want a comparison picture with the Britains model but I don't know if you have it.

Great topic here and as per Rogerio's request I thought I'd quickly take some photos for you given my giraffe only arrived the other day and whilst i am on a 'roll' of photo taking all of a sudden (what has come over me? lol). So I grabbed a couple of giraffes from the collection to compare it against. Remember this is no walkaround, I leave that to our other friends on here who always do a much better job! :-)

Great photos by the way - you are great at taking these wonderful pictures Costi! :-)

I love its sinuous standing well visible from behind but I don't love as well, its a little too thick legs.. anyways, a great model!

Beautiful!!!

Thank you again everybody for your comments :)
And thank you Numaan for your compliment and also for all these very informative photos you added here

What an adorable model. I also love its face!

As Rogério, I prefer the Eikoh to the PNSO. The last one needs a good repaint to be decent ( Kosta you need to work on this )
This new giraffe has a very nice painting and a very sweet and natural pose but I agree the legs are a bit too thick and the neck should be longer.

Thank you Kosta for the excellent walkaround, it is visible you love this giraffe and I enjoy this

Thank you Numaan for your comparison pics. Because of you it is clear the old Britains giraffe is still a phenomenal model

A few more photos of this giraffe alongside the Noah's Pals Giraffe pair.

Such a wonderful walkaround of this gorgeous giraffe, with beautifully clear photos as usual!
Like all Eikoh models I love this giraffe, the smooth Japanese style really suites it and the face is so sweet, with wonderfully blended colours! This has to be one of my favourite giraffe models- hurray for Eikoh, I really hope they keep bringing out these treasures!

Great photos, Kosta, and great comparisons, Numaan. I am afraid I couldn't wait and already got the Eikoh giraffe. I am very happy with it. My impression is that the length of its neck is fine, but its legs are slightly short. Or at least they are compared to the Britains giraffes.

Thank you Paige, Kiki, Bonnie and Roger :)
And thank you again Numaan for these new and very good photos .
They are very informative :)

The style of Japanese model is always active and lively. Love it and thank you for sharing such interesting photos.
