Thanks, both of you! I'm afraid he's nothing special though, just a [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I hadn't really planned on selling him, but I've just bought another body which may be for sale once I've done something with it.

You did good make-over!

Gabe,
Nice Papo collection! I still recommend adding the white tiger, black jag, young lioness, young lion playing, mandrill, baby hippo, giraffes(Adult and baby) ostrich and from the farm collection the Spanish bull and Texas bull!
Keep on PAPO'ING : )
Hopefully the 2012 assortment will be a good one!

Oops...didn't see you already had baby hippo by his mom!

Sumo and Gabe, you both have awesome collections!!

Your Papo collection, Gabe, looks fantastic and the Chamois

Sumo, what brand is the hippo to the right of the Papo rhino, in front of the pick china hippos?

Good question. The bellystamp simply says "Made in China", but there's also an oval with "TM" inside. However, this is obviously not the TM hippo - I've got that one too, and he's very different (also, his bellystamp is an oval with T.M., note the punctuation). Odds are our bignecked hippo friend is just another brandless cheapie... unless anyone has any other information?

Thanks for the info, I really like the look of it - one might come up on eBay I guess. It's not often you see a hippo of that size with it's mouth closed.

Sumo, your collection is amazing! Thank you for sharing with us :)

Gabe, I still admire you for selling all your Schleich animals But I love your Papo collection very much!

That is the right spirit !!!!
Well said, Ken

Hear! Hear Ken! that's what i like about this forum!

Sumo,your horses are wonderful. what is the unpainted bob-tail on the base, right above your big repaint? it looks like a portrait of an 18th Century racehorse.

Gabe, your collection is spectacular- no wonder you decided to collect Papo! The detail and colors are so beautiful.

What a fantastic collection, Sumo.

Gabe, Papo wonderful collection!
The Chamois is very beautiful!

Sumo, if you get time, is it possible to get a closeup of the Papo hyenas and ? on the clear stand, please ?

Yes, and some of those you've seen under brands aren't here because of different reasons)

Cats- well, I have a number of them, from different materials, and one alive)). I can take some photos, but on Sunday the earliest- they are at my parent's flat.

Thank you
It'sapitty I cannot show you my flocked herd- almost all of them are gone. But when I was a girl I had lots of them, and some were rather pretty.

Hi there friends...

anything new in your collections??

My son had left a small "hanging vitrine" when he left home several years ago.
He said I could have it, and I wanted to paint it white.
But I never got round to do it, and yesterday when Son was here, he put it up on the wall for me

The intention was that I would have my Starlux-figures there, - but alas, they are so small

So now I have crammed too much into it, it looks horrible, but, anyway - here it is

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

If I show it to you now, hopefully it will inspire me to make it look better so I can show you an improvement later

Oh land, if you think that's horrible, you'd better never see my back room!
Only thing this vitrine needs is more figures! I like that Mr. Dancing Greenjeans is so prominent!

Sue you have nice collection And I like your display in this colour :)
