The very strange tiger with kittens

I suppose all us ladies know how it is to buy shoes or clothes that look so nice in the shop, but when you come home they are really horrible, and you never wear it

Last year I saw a tiger and a lion with cubs. They were from AAA, and on the picture they looked cool. But when they came here, I thought " EEEEEK! Huge and horrible "
The cubs don`t fit in size at all, what on earth did the designer think about ?
So they stayed in their plastic bags in the bottom of the box untill yesterday when I was looking for something else in the box.

Then, suddenly it struck me : They are wonderful, and the tiger fits so perfectly to my painting, which is also huge and full of tigers that don`t fit in size

Here is the painting. It is made by Uffe Christoffersen, who only paints tigers

I know this figures, sold here under the name Yolanda! I'm not a big fan of them, I don't mind with sizes but everything in life has limits!!
I usually say that Bullyland is the strangest brand I know but this is because I never pay atention to AAA! But, you find always a way to love a figure, that is very nice! :)
Those are like the cheetah with cubs from AA, aren't they?
Thanks for share the picture!

AAA do make some wonderful models, but I never liked these. Maybe over time they'd grow on me like they have for you Susanne.
Very interesting painting!

You people are so nice and polite

But really, like Harriet says, they "grow on me". The more I look, the more detail I find, - somebody has payed a lot of attention to detail, and then some production manager has (probably) just glued them all together
How many mother-cats have we seen that really looks like a nursing mother?

I do not know the cheetah, Roger, I have several AAA-cheetahs, but not one like these two.
He, he, so now you found something more strange than Bullyland, - but both have their bright moments

I find that the lioness, tiger and cubs has a good posture & only thing I don like is the paint job & sculpting needs to be improved. overall still not bad & as what roger say "life has limits". I don't think I will collect them yet and is it possible to take a photo with Schleich or Papo tiger? Thanks in Advanced!

Perhaps not quite fair as the Papo tiger is SO lovely

Hello mom, it's been a long time since I saw you ... I see I have a few young brother now

It is cute!

It make me think of Siberian tiger & Sumatran Tiger come together. Thanks Susanne!!

I like the painting:)
As for tigress and the lioness- well, we had the first one in our ELC shop where I used to work some time ago, and I had an opportunity to examine her. She's rather cute, I think. Maybe a bit toylike, ans bigger in scale, than most other tigers, but in her size she fits the Safari Ltd big tiger, and her cubs- their poses are rather funny and not the common ones. I even think of taking her to my collection because of the poses and composition itself.

It is so much fun when you take up old subjects, - I am happy you like my painting

And the AAA-tiger, yes she has "something"

The tigers and lions are cute! I have the AAA rat with babies as well. I will post pics soon.

Well, old topics are interesting sometimes)

Wow, never seen her. What size is she?

Rat with babies

Ohh, yes, Please, I would also love to see a picture

I love mama tiger's position, the way her head is cocked. She looks so serene.

Yes, you are right

I was not sure what serene means , - when I found out I could not help smiling thinking about Serena Williams.
Perhaps the name suited her when her parents gave her the name, but later.....

Those cubs look quite happy about pestering there momies!

That`s what moms are for, I think

Well Susanne, i like them, although the cubs cannot be seperated from the moms, because of their positions, same as in my cheetah set, they look odd then...
The lionscubs look maybe small, but this is possible,when they are just not to old, and they start to move around on moms body...

Perhaps you are right . I don`t know when cubs of the large cats open their eyes
By the domestic cat the kitten have their eyes open at the age of 9-10 days, and then they are larger compared to their mom.

But I agree, I also love these figueres when first I got used to them
