Caracal's finds

Do you think it is a color variation of the Nayab dog on first set next to the German shepherd?

..  it coul be for the sculpting seems to be the same!

Colors on Nayab catalogue are merely indicative. They change according to the requirements of the custommer company. I was convinced the dingo was a color variation of this model but you show clearly that they are different in size in shape although the obvious similarities.
Does the size of the dog fits into the 11 to 15 cm size range?

Lovely find!!

Lovely find!!

 Thank you Taylor!

That's a very cool find, I really like him! Kind of like a border collie. I also really like your Nayab dingo, is he customized?

Thank you Jill, about the dingo I don't remember well, maybe a light repaint by places: tongue ears..

Very interesting catch

Very close, thanks! Surely the provided size is more suitable for the larger dingo.

you're right! :)

not a find but rather a gift from fairy Yvette who sent me these Lineol 4th generation african monuments for even not  Schleich prices!

    Thanks to Santa Klaus Yvette, my compo mass figuren collection is growing up in quantity and above all in quality! Many many thanks to her!

Even though I may sound repetitive, it's always fair to praise Yvette for allowing us to collect these spectacular figures without the financial sacrifice it would represent if we did it without her. She could easily obtain a significant value by selling these valuable and wonderful antiques, but she prefers to share the joy of collecting these figures with the forum's friends. I remember people who took decades to acquire some of these figures, especially the sable antelope, and I note, Alain, how did you manage to get a lot of spectacular figures in a single batch like this one?
I hope to one day have the crocodile as well; it makes sense in my collection too. Many of these figures are in very good condition, and those that aren't will certainly benefit from a competent and respectful restoration of the original concept, as we've seen before. A well-done restoration is a manifestation of respect for all the work that goes into each figure. For example, that little fox will be much happier after rehabilitation.

Uggh I really want that Bullyland Mastodonsaurus (not Estemnosuchus)

Oh yes it s because I received one from CollectA yesterday!

I really like this old stuff

So beautiful! Until recently, you didn't collect composition models and now you have so many of these beauties. The sable antelope is an absolute jewel.

The slightly damaged ones are in good hands now. I am sure they will look stunning when you have repaired them. I hope you'll show them to us.

You're perfectly right Rogério. Without friends like you, Jean-Louis and above all Yvette, I even would have not thought to collect such expensive treasures! I hardly realise I have now at home the Lineol  Eland thanks to you, The  oryx, the sable antelope, the zebra, the stag, the black rhino, the hippo, the brown bear, the fox..thanks to Yvette, all these monuments of animal figurines who have never been surpassed by modern brands since they have been released!

How I managed to deserve so much kindness and generosity? I realy don't know and I feel at the same time a little ashamed and very proud to be the owner of these treasures!

Thank you for your kind words Roger, you can be sure I 'll do my best to restore them without betraying their beautifulness!

and some figures from the late period are also from my hometown

I love to watch the floods rise and the waves gush out when the dams of good resolutions collapse.

Hurrah for Yvette and Alain

How to resist to such a wave of kindness and friendship?!

I am very happy that the animals landed well in France. Now you have the most important representatives of the fourth Lineol generation in your collection. The other animals need more or les restoration. I am sure, you can give them a second life.

Christophe, as you said, it's the Lineol virus. There's no escaping from this great figures.

Many thanks dear Yvette, for your kind words and above all, for have made me the owner of so many Lineol jewels!
