Jill's (growing) Collection [update 4.30.24]

I was just looking at a couple Yowies Gummies cats, and they're those molds- the Bengal is your black and white cat, and the Siamese is Batcat.

You're getting some very interesting horses!

Thanks guys! I agree, the PV are really good for their size. Just the right balance of realism and tininess.

Aaaa I saw your pictures!! I'll definitely be on the lookout for those, is that a series that's currently in stores somewhere? Gotta add to my weird tiny cat army.

So many wonderful additions, PV are definitely worth it and those cats have so much character! So many horses too, perfect for you!

Very nice horses and dogs , your collection keeps growing .

The Gummies are out if stores now (I think, haven't seen them for several months) though you can still get them on eBay and Amazon. Ebay might be the best bet to find the exact figure hit the blind bags.

I really regret not knowing about and getting PVs when they were current. They had some very interesting things and often pretty well made.

I don't search actively for Play Visions but I don't think there are PV easy to find. Maybe the sharks are the easiest but a few sets are really rare, so rare that after all these years some figures remain unknown to us. If you want to collect PV bulks, you will find a lot of fun doing it, they are really nice.

Nicht newcomers again

Thanks everyone! It does just keep growing, haha. Life's a bit stressful right now, so that means . . . retail therapy!

I got a few boxes over the weekend. Speaking of Play Visions . . . most excited about this arrival this time around! A few more to join the crowd. :) I love the wild cat set jaguar the most, but all of them are quite nice, I love these little guys.

And another addition I am super excited about was more Marx dogs (probably?). Three of them are color variations on molds I already have, though I do really like the newest Irish terrier, but the other two are brand new for me! The German Shepherd and the Doberman.

Added a few more Yowies to the crowd, too. The numbat was one I wanted most, but he conviently came with several others I also really liked.

And the extras in the Yowie lot were not bad, I really like the brown bear and the snail.

This delightful family also settled in! I really need more crocodilians in general. (The Not-Steve-Irwin guy cracks me up)

And some fun extras from that box as well! The turtles are all China pencil toppers in molds I have seen used by actual brands. Great candidates for customizing, if I ever work up the nerve.

The wild cats of Playvisions are marvellous.

I like the fennec Yowies and the snail. I like the color of the buterfly too.

Perfect therapy. when you love these smaller animal figures, you can't avoid Play Visions, i think they are the most iconic models of that category.

Lovely additions!!

So many wonderful new models- there are no better distractions than these lovely little animal figures!
Those PV big cats are fantastic finds- I love the one far left! And the dogs are so lovely too, it must be so satisfying to be gradually completing the Marx dog series! The GSD and Dobermann are very elegant, and the variations are really interesting finds!
I also really love that Yowie fennec- so sweet!

You got so many neat figures- love the GSD of course, the snail is really cool, the caracal seems to be one of the harder Yowies to come across (the fennec is a favorite of mine too), those turtles are great and I really like some of those crocodilians. Congratulations!

Really great models! The safari swamp toob is neat. It looks like you have found some great ebay finds which is always a win!

Jill, you might want to check out the Yowies trade thread also. I'm not sure how up to date people's listings are, but most there would probably be willing to sell the figures or trade for non Yowies. Reminds me I need to update.

Congratulations

Thank you everyone! :)

That's a good idea! I hadn't realized there was one.

Many great small animals! The PVs, Yowies and dogs are all amazing. What is the croc with young one on top? And to the left of that one, are there three on top of each other? Intriguing.

They are all from the Alligators Alive Safari toob! They are called "alligator with babies on back" and "alligator babies."

Thanks, nice toob. I discovered on TAW that the trainer was only produced for a short time, great that it was included in your toob.

What a month it's been, yikes.  [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] I have really missed keeping up with things over here and have gotten way behind on thread updates!! I'll start getting back into the happy world of little plastic creatures with a collection update and go from there . . .

Really excited to add some more play visions. There's been quite a few on ebay lately, but I couldn't afford ALL of them, haha. But these are so wonderful, I really didn't expect these sea turtles to be as detailed as they are!
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And my most favorite of the ones I've found recently was the Chow Chow. I didn't even realize there was a dog set until I found him . . . and a few excellent friends as well! I had missed the painted dog in another lot some time ago and was bummed about it, so it's nice to have found it again.
EDIT: Just realized I included the wrong cheetah, haha, this is the guy from the last update. I added the more yellow one this time!

Also found two more Funrise Horses (nearing the end of that collection), and they came with a bunch of these MMTL horses. And the Safari minis were actually gifts from my parents from their trip across the country. They picked them up for me at a zoo gift shop!

And last but not least, my Kid Kore line up has been growing. These little guys are tricky to track down!

Oh, I love the turtles, they're great! It's surprising how often these small figures turn out to be more detailed and effectively painted than you'd expect. The little mixed lot of dog breeds and african wildlife is lovely, too!
Glad to see you back in the swing of mini animals, they can be a good distraction when other things haven't been great :)

There are 2 versions of the wild dog, both are quite nice. Great new additions! I love the turtles and dogs. Great to see your kidkore horses and funrise collections! Great update my friend, we have missed you. :)

Great to see you back, was hoping you were well!

I enjoy the turtles, but WOW the Rottie and Chow! Didn't know they had a dog series either.

Great and rare additions. Congrats
