Saarlooswolfhound's new additions *Updated 8/25*

Thank you everyone! The fish has no stamp nor species (trout like). I think its a game piece because it has a recessed hole in its mouth. I will try to post close ups sometimes of it.

Its been a crazy busy week for me (the crazy and the busy are sadly becoming more and more common for me) but lots of great packages have arrived to cheer my mood!

Too much in both photos to discus it all, but a brief overview:
I picked some CollectA to tie loose ends for families of figures and got 2 extra axolotls for my obssessed niece and nephew to enjoy. I lucked out and found several of the HappyKin arctic animals I thought I missed out forever on! The only one I REALLY want still missing is the hourglass dolphin. I found some fun dinos including the retired Safari plesiosuchus (missed out on this one too many times to count!). Came across the WR ecodome giraffes but I may not end up retaining them... they aren't really my style. Lastly of note I scored some rubber K&M seals from my good friend.

Wonderful new additions! I saw those rubber seals on eBay and was very intrigued by them. Are they a hard or soft rubber?

I don't have any happy kin models but they look really interesting. I love the strap-toothed whale and hourglass dolphin, I'd love to get my hands on the Play Visions hourglass dolphin...

Big Toymany group! Loveee the rabbits!

Congrats!

Wow wow wow, the banded seal by K&M. What a beautiful catch. The other figures are very nice too.

So many new additions. It is hard to check them all.

Those little giraffes in the set of 4 look quite interesting Paige. They seem to be around Britains size?
And they also have a cutie kind of appearance that I rather like.

If you ever get a chance, could you take a pic of the 2 smaller ones please?
I don't think you have any Britains in your collection for a size comparison? (I can't remember if you do?)

And that is a very interesting brown horse in front of them. What make is that?

and congratulations on all your new models! Very exciting:)

Congratulation Paige, the two K&M seals are really interresting and I never imagine the Toymany rabbits were so small

Congrats-great selection of models!! Do you know the makers of the Snub nosed monkey and the deer?

I unfortunately do not know the brand of the snub-nosed monkey and its not stamped. The deer was originally part of a US made hunting set and it has been copied by other brands multiple times. I can't recall the maker right now but I have it down somewhere in my records. I will see if I can find it when I get home.

Here it is in the left top corner.

Many thanks!

Wow, wonderful new additions!

Congrats on many great finds! I love the black and tan jackal/wolf figure.

Thank you everyone!

Man it has been busy lately. But I still manage to find time for my hobby. There are a fair few finds that I indulged in for my birthday earlier this month. But I am too tired currently to provide much description...

I'm so glad you can find time for your hobby. The community really misses you when you're less active, but most importantly, I hope you're happy. I love WIA horse.

Congratulations

Great additions!!congrats!The black pigs and the Afghan look great and the paints and the spotted draught are wonderful!!!

The WIA Horses are so beautiful!! But I like your other additions as well! Great you found the time of taking photos and showing them!

Thank you Roger, I really do love this community and I hate to be less active. I hope that eventually (maybe around the end of the year?) I can be more productive here.

Thank you Taylor and Andreas!

Thank you Shanti. The WIA were a series I really did *want* but kept trying to shrug off... somehow the bug came back and it got me good! They are really lovely in person, photos don't do them justice.

Thanks your share Paige.

As you know we have a topic for that and Ken will update it as soon as he has news to share. That's just Paige's topic.

These horses are really nice. Congratulations.

Awesome additions, love all the horses. Those WIAs are so beautiful of course! The dark dabble bay is especially nice. Definitely if I had the space and wanted to move into horse figures that weren't Breyer or very very tiny, this would be the first direction I would go.

Also the Kid Kore afghan is so nice, she is still one of my favorite dog figures. Love the huge ear fennec too!

Thank you everyone!

Sometimes when you gamble... you get a pay out. The first time I saw both Toymany and Eyscota, I dabbled in their products, and (mostly with Toymany) they paid out! I wandered over to the Eyscota store to check in on them and there was a new cat set. Another must have! I will do a proper presentation thread at a later date. Then while traveling to Fort Collins Colorado for a wedding, I found a toy store with some IC scaly friends I couldn't say no to; one Bully amphibian tagged along. In the same trip, I snagged a Little Buster Toys new longhorn bull. He is a mammoth of a bovine! One "Animal Paradise" mastiff made its way home (he has 2 brothers that will be custom projects someday), and 2 Chinese dragons because I haven't gotten any fantasy models in too long... And one chinasaur-spinosaur to add to my hoard.

Aaand then other times when you gamble... it doesn't work out. This was a new "brand", EOIVSH, that popped up for me on Amazon and I gave it a try. I think a few of the dogs are bootleg moulds of Mr. Z or someone similar. They aren't *horrible* but they aren't exactly my favorite either...
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

The dogs I think will scale fine with most brands but are probably on the larger side. The cats are huge; they remind me of the AAA ones. The plastic and paintwork is poorer quality (the Shiba never got a nose painted in the promo nor the final products!), the sculpts have sort of a weird texture (the bottoms of the cats are flat, no paws or anything). They fall into a strange category I can't quite describe yet.

I don't feel as comfortable identifying the cats (a few are just generic shorthairs); so I will focus on the dog breeds instead. Several are very nice sculpts, but the paintwork lets it down. My lab and doberman had warped legs and my rottie had some weird dirty water spray on it I need to see if I can wash off or overcoat. The standouts for me and the schnauzer, English bull dog, and mastiff (a kurdish mastiff?).

I mean these Eyscota exotic shorthairs are dwarfed by their cousins!
