Cape Buffalo 2008 Wild Safari Wildlife, walkaround by Kikimalou

It's been a long time now since I opened my last topic.  

It's time to wake up and do some work to share with you.

After reading the " Retired leopard - worth it?" topic, I chose to show you the Cape buffalo with parrots made by SAFARI ltd since 2008.

I think it's a very good model and despite it is a little bit bigger than the old Schleich or Papo, it can perfectly live with them.  

But it's time to shut up and let the pics speaking...

Thank you for putting up these photos, Christophe.
I strongly believe that the Schleich is the 3rd, the Safari Ltd is the 2nd and the Papo is the 1st when in comes to who is the best looking African Buffalo. But of course, we should try to consider the fact that the Schleich is a 10 years plus older than these two. Maybe the Schleich needs to do a new generation bull in the near future to update it.

That's my wish for the past two years already too, Christophe. I am really hoping they will make a new Buffalo soon. And maybe it would be much better if they will come out with a family like what they did with their Moose and their Warthogs this year.

So...Close your eyes and think strongly about Mary Poppins and maybe...

Great photos. Thanks for the comparison photos.

I really like the added touch of the birds and the food hanging out of the mouth. The workers did a great job of painting these parts as well. That is important to me when I make a purchase. Hope they keep up the good work!
I would like to see that more with all the figures.

A water buffalo is on my Schleich wish list too. Great photo review Kiki. The Safari buffalo has lovely detail.

Thank you, Christophe. I think I'll buy Safari's buffalo quite soon.

Congratulations on your newest Cape Buffalo my friend!

In my eyes, the Papo is the best in face expression ans skin texture, the Safari in variation on the theme with the ox-pickers and grass hanging out of the mouth, and the overall model.

Great little herd(i know you have more... )

Thank's Willy But it's not my last addition...

Until the CollectA will be here, the last one is still the Papo.

I made a walkaround with this one to help Gabe Tigerstrike and for my pleasure too of course... .

Good boy!
Although your avatar would suggest otherwise, haha.

Thanks for the fantastic Water Buffalo's collection photos. From which brand is the calf belongs to? That's the first time I saw it.

Is it a calf, it has horns I didn't think calves had their horns that young. I think it must be Kim-Play as it says it above it

I never heard of this Kim Play brand before. But I know there is brand called Timpo. Maybe you are right, Harriet. That could be an adult Buffalo only in a smaller scale.

Thank you Harriet

Very cool pics Lucky Luke

I can't choose the one I prefer, it is a very good set indeed

The smaller buffalo is a KimPlay, or a Timpo, or a Atlas edition or a Nature zone, Or a... In this case, there is one Chinese manufacturer and several importers.

This exact Kiki Buffalo calf is branded china and sold in different brands and different packages, it is a different scale. is somewhat easy to use in a herd of buffalo we say that it is a youth until another brand we offer a calf.!

Great pics Luke, thanks for sharing them!
Good to compare them anyway.
Yes, that Kim-Play or whatever brand this is given is in about the 1:24 scale, so somewhat smaller than the others.

Great photos Luke. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Great Photos! Luke

I also can't see anything at first, until when I click on it....
