Thank you Susanne! I never thought I'd collect Papo cows either, but their cows are getting better and better. I hope they make some more breeds next year.
I was going to take some pictures of them outside, but it's absolutely pouring down with rain, buckets Rolling Eyes it was just glorious sunshine as well Neutral

It's incredible how Papo is improving its figures! I remember we talking that farm animals from Papo were not nice, the last cattle is superb! cheers
This camel is also fantastic, I never see it in my hands but with this extraordinary pictures I have no doubts about the quality of the figure!
About the yaks I confess I like both! But I only want one?!?!?! scratch
Many thanks for your excelent pictures and mainly for the comparison pictures, I love it!!!! I love you flower cheers

Thank you Kristie, Mihnea and Roger, it is lovely being crazy yes! cheers

Yes I agree with you Roger, Papo are coming along in leaps and bounds cheers their animals are getting so realistic. This Simmental bull is far more realistic in sculpting then the Schleich one - Schleich I known for their farm life, but I think Papo will soon be the best on the market Surprised

I was browsing some of the new Papos online the other day and yes, this bull really jumped out at me. I love the the texture of the sculpting Papo does, too. It has a vintage tone to it. I'm a retro kind of girl. I like it! :)

Congrats again, Harriet! Now I cannot wait to find the Simmental bull!

Three great models cheers Congratulation Harriet.

I have the camel and Minhea is right, it is a very very good surprise, a real masterpiece Cool

THe Simmenthal bull is very fine too, I don't collect farm animals but I buy some for my young daughter, She will have them in a few years... Some PAPO cows are excellent, not the basic ones but the AOC ones : Limousin, Salers, Simmental drunken I would love to see a tiger cow from Corsica

Or an Abondance Bactrian camel, Simmental bull and Yak Abondance

The yak seems very fine and not bigger than Schleich, it's rare for a PAPO ongulate...

Roger, if you need only one yak, I think you may choose the Papo because it is a wild yak Wink

Congratulations, Harriet. The Yak and Camel are nice.

I also received mine from the MPV and TGF yesterday together with new stuffs from the Schleich animals and Bayala, Papo, Safari Ltd and CollectA animals. I will probably take their photos and post it here by week after next week together with the other stuffs that I got for the past two months.

As your photos is always look stunning & just added all on my list.

The Simmental bull is really so nice compared to Schleich bull. another CollectA Friesian Bull & Angus Bull also look promising and anyone owned that?

By the way the yak painting look glossy and mine right?

First congratulations on your new acquisition Harriet.
They are more beautiful than others.

The Simmental is awesome too.

I suppose painting brindle animals would be very challenging, it's not an easy task.

So is the Papo yak a wild one then? I thought it was a domestic yak like the Schleich scratch

I couldn't resist. tongue
Either Papo or Schleich should make these breeds. Of course there are SO many others I'd like to see also

The Belted Gallowy comes in three colours, Black, Dun and Red. The Red Belted Galloway is rare and sought after.
I'd be very happy if one of these brands made the Red beltie:
Bactrian camel, Simmental bull and Yak Mochrum_Huckleberry_2
Red Beltie
Bactrian camel, Simmental bull and Yak DunCow
Or the Dun Beltie, they're a gorgeous fudge colour
Bactrian camel, Simmental bull and Yak Galloway5
Or of course the most well known colourway, black and white

Shorthorn cattle are beautiful too
Bactrian camel, Simmental bull and Yak Fg_angelica
Bactrian camel, Simmental bull and Yak TS_Shorthorn
and I'd love a Jersey cattle family

PostSubject: Baltimore zoo   Bactrian camel, Simmental bull and Yak EmptySat Jun 11, 2011 8:34 am

I really like the Simmental it's really 'INCREDI-BULL"! I have the Papo Texas and Spanish bulls, so it will be a nice addition to my "bull pen"! In comparing the Schlech to the Papo, the Papo, as I always say, has more of a refined artistic look. Just two different styles, I prefer the Papo.
The Bactrian looks nice as well. As far as the yak goes, I think the hump on the Papo version(more rounded) compared to the Schleich ("peaked" hump) looks more realistic(from photos I've looked at).
I found an awesome pic of a charging male yak, which would have made a terrific figure!
But of course, they have to make a similar figure to Schleich. If they had made a yak figure similar to the
photo I found, I would have bought one!!!!

That is an awesome photo Balti! Would have been fantastic if they had.

Out of the two yaks I prefer the Papo as well. I still like the Schleich one, but the Papo seems more realistic.
Yes the Simmental is certainly a better sculpt than the Schleich, I've just ordered the cow to go with him.
I hope Papo makes some different cattle breeds next year.

He's not as glossy as the pictures, but he's not matt like the Schleich one.

Isn't that an awesome pic! Thanks for checking it out! I mean imagine having a 1000 pound, 7 foot tall male yak charging you...
It would have been a great figure, totally different than the Schleich, but it's all about copy catting...take the easy way out!
I wish Papo would hire me, I'd straighten them out and show them some better ideas than what they produce!
