Joliezac's New Additions: Papo & Haolonggood *Oct. 7th*

Superb additions-the Owls are glorious!!

This owls set is very interesting. Congratulations.

Nice batch Jolie, Kaiyodo snowy owl is still one of my favorite gem ever and I'm happy you caught one.
the red Japanese Scops Owls is a benchmark in the art of painting a bird figurine simply but effectively
I love the Papo wildebeest, it is so wildebeest... especilly the way it looks at you.
Of course i can't wait to add the Ibex, Anteater and Wapiti in my collection

Two great additions months

Too bad the Toymany Polar set is unavailable in France, I would love to add some of them. The IC monitor is a true gem, I understand you can't resist !
The two S&N are excellent too, I hope the brand will continue to show some improvement and some new species again.
The Japanese macaque is far bigger than I thought, still good though.
Nice JP tribe and of course congratulation for the awesome Stegodon, I hope TNG will make some new good figures soon.

Thank you for your favorite Kikimalou , Toymany have opened France delivery on website! You can get a discount on the Arctic Kit at joliezac's link  https://toymany.com?sca_ref=6259425.zshSFcM6af

Then the Toymany rabbits! I really am in love with this set. I haven't been able to get outdoor photos yet, but I will try to take some photos of them in my diorama. Paige has lots of additional photos [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Then Toymany also sent me the cold blooded set! This set is really great in person. I absolutely love the komodo dragon, leopard gecko, axolotl, & Solomon Islands frog

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

Again Paige has more photos [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Then a very exciting package! I've been wanting these sets of Kaiyodo owls for years. I got the barn owl from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] a year or two ago, which increased my want for this set! Unfortunately it is expensive on eBay. But I was able to get both sets from YoyBuy for a reasonable price. Although I was quite worried they were lost for a bit since I had no tracking update for over a month once they were shipped   Thankfully though they arrived safe and sound! And they are even better looking in person that photos online, I am in love with these sets!

Wow....lots of nice animals, beautiful rabbit; interesting dinos, for example the Maiasaura.

Congratulations.

Congratulation Jolie, I already commented a few of them so what can I say ?

I like very much the Safari Ltd Archaeopteryx and the Honey badger is an absolute must have for me

I will ut my hands one the komodo dragon and Solomon Islands frog

The owls are fantastic and I'm happy you have them now.

Maybe I will add the Schleich Black bear and you know my affection for Haolonggood models

Amazing models, congrats! The Asian golden cat is fantastic

Beautiful additions!!

I love the Toy Many reptiles and amphibians, I wish they were a size I collected and had space for, they keep tempting me. Those owls are also wonderful, what a beautiful set! Congrats on all these wonderful new additions!

Your collection continues growing effectively. Lucky that your parlamient has owls. I'm sure Portuguese parliament is composed of different creatures.

Thank you so much everyone!

It is always a pleasure seeing your new addisions. Most of them I have never seen before.
Your owl collection is wonderful.

Here are my July additions! I got some very exciting new models this month and I am very happy with each and every one of them

First off, some more Haolonggood dinosaurs, along with another Nanmu rex I couldn't pass up since it is no longer in production.

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

I miss when Nanmu dinosaurs had articulated jaws, so I picked up their first rex because it had an articulated mouth. A really nice model, I'm using it as the Doe from the Lost World.

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

With the "Buck" from Nanmu studios and the Papo baby I use as "Junior"

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

Most of my dinosaurs in my collection consist of carnivore therapods. I've been wanting to get more herbivores but there are so many choices with different species and brands that I never know what to pick. Haolonggood may be my new favorite because of the species, details/paintwork, and affordability.

This stegosaurus is truly breathtaking in real life. It has to be one of the most beautiful stegosaurus out there.

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

With Papo

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

With Papo and Rebor

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

I'm tempted to get another color of the Stegosaurus  

The Diabloceratops I was not expecting to be so small, but it does not lose the detail!

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

With Eofauna's triceratops

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

With Papo's pachyrhinosaurus

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

I am certainly looking forward to what Haolonggood releases next!

A new species for me, the Toymany lemming

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

A different factory paint for Schleich's Thomson gazelle. I have more photos in [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

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

Then, 2 figures off my search list!!

First, the Safari IC Tokay gecko! I didn't know much about this model and hadn't seen many good photos until Paige showed hers on the forum. So when this one popped up on eBay, I was happy to get it. However, I was surprised when it came in the mail. It has suction cups attached to the bottom!  

I immediately went back and checked Paige's photos. Her tokay gecko does not have suction cups, but you can almost see an indentation where they could be added. Are there perhaps 2 different variants of this figure?? I personally love the idea of suction cups. He resides on the outside of the glass door to Smaug's cage  

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

Here are the suction cups, and the 2nd photo (hope Paige doesn't mind) is her gecko and the suction cups are not present. Very interesting  

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


Then another BotB figure that I always hoped I'd find, but didn't believe I'd get: The caracal! This model is really gorgeous and one of my new favorite BotB figures. I made a walkaround [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

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

Overall a really great month! My poor wallet suffered way more than it should have, but I really couldn't pass these up.

Nice additions Jolie, I love the two Haolonggood and it seems I will give this brand more money this year, the Diablo and Stego are so graceful, it is impossible to resist. What is the Stego lenght please ?
Soon or later a Toymany lemming will find the path of my displays.
The IC Tokay gecko with suction cups is really an Incredible model, the best Tokay gecko model I ever seen.
The Caracal was my first BotB, it is a pure beauty.

Thank you so much! I am already eyeing up the brown Amargasaurus... I love the large sauropods from Haolonggood but they are too tall for my shelves I'd have nowhere to put them. Smaller sauropods/longer ones however...

The Stego is about 25 cm long.

I love all the BotB models, but some really stand out, the caracal surely is one of them!

The Amargasaurus is beautiful indeed but since I already have the PNSO, I will pass for this one.

Haolonggood sauropods are nice I agree but I have the same problem, lack of place... Maybe I will go for the Camarasaurus.

At 25cm the Stego is perfect to join my 1/40 floor to meet the Safari Ltd Miragaia So it won't be competing with my 1/30 PNSO, which I also really like a lot.

I don't have enough money alas to buy all the BotB I would like, my appetite for so many figurines is much greater than the size of my plate.

I also enjoy that Stegosaurus, it has a modern design, I don't know what it means, maybe I'm thinking about car models design.
Your baby rex from Papo looks quite happy with his family. :)

I agree, this stegosaurus is really splendid.

Congratulations.

Here are my August additions!

Some beautiful felines from Papo! I found some on eBay that were early batches so the paintwork was very well done on them! I was very excited because Papo has beautiful cats but the paintwork really suffers over time.

As you can see my original Jaguar was a much later version and the difference is stunning

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

The beautiful old Schleich pelican I've been wanting for some time. Big thanks to WhiteLightningWolf!

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

Big thank you to Toymany for sending over their new baby animals set! I didn't post a walkaround since there are already a few on the forum, but I did take some outdoor pics

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

Then my first Papo 2024 figures!! I'm very pleased with these and I've been struggling to patiently wait for them this year The turtle is my favorite and so well done. I have walkarounds of the musk ox [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and the turtle [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I will do walkarounds for the peacock and owl soon

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

Big congratulation Jolie, I must say especially for the old papo felines, old paintings are giving justice to the molds and shows how Papo can be the best when it makes the effort to make a subtle painting. The old Schleich pelican is great catch too of course !

Congratulations for finding early versions of Papo felines. They're the best! I know it is boring but could you please check which batch versions are yours? They have numbers painted or clocks. If they don't have, they are really very early versions and honestly it is what they look like.

Wow what an amazing collection, congratulations, they look wonderful.
