Jill's Dingo Collection

Unknown - wild canine

This guy was another gift from Mitsukuni, and I don't think it's meant to be any specific canid. It could as easily be a coyote or jackal or even a fox, or as Paige has pointed out a dhole, but here we'll assign him the title dingo especially since he is yellow. One that has perhaps have a very messy meal with all that red!

I love him. :) I recently discovered this figure and started repainting one of mine into a dhole. But the fun thing about this model is that it really could pass for several species! And for me anyway, thats not a bad thing. Congrats Jill!

Interesting figure

I think tere are a few figures which look like this and it is curious that they match an animal we can't identify at all. It is a dingo in your collection, it could be a fox in mine and any other canid. For a fox the species I can rememberwith short faces and round ears are some desert foxes but they have bushier tails. South American foxes look more like small wolves. Since dingos are quite variable, I find it acceptable as one.

Wild Republic - Eco Expedition Australian Walkabout

Many thanks to Kelly for adding this guy to the pack! I didn't realize until I had him in hand for some reason that he is a large, jointed version of the little tube figure, essentially. They are very similar, and so my critique of them is pretty much the same. Very charming, and I love his face, even if his short stocky body is more dog than dingo shaped. Jointed figures are not my favorite as an adult, but I did enjoy them as a kid, even though I tended to force them into motion beyond their capabilities. I would have enjoyed this guy as a kid as much as I do an adult, which richens his appeal.

A model I have debated myself... I think you have convinced me. Congrats!

Congrats!I have this set and the Dingo is my favourite of them all.
