The goats an sheep from Papo :-)

I love the old sheep and goats from Papo !

So of course I was extremely curious to see what the newer ones look like, an at last I decided to get them .

SHEEP

The sheep has a different colour from the rest.
I wonder if Papo is going to change the colouring of them all  
Aaaargh, Papo is a nightmare for collectors of variants, - or a dream, depending how you see it

Here are the old ones for comparison :

The bucks together, quite different breeds, aren`t they ?

And the 3 nanny-goats.
I think the oldest one in the middle is the cutest goat ever

The newer goats is great!!

Oh I LOVE the new goats!! The male in particular congratulations Susanne, the sheep are also nice, the old ones were very stylised, but fantastic
Could you share a picture of the male new goat from side view? If it's not too much trouble

Thankyou Ken and Harriet  
Ohh, yes "stylised", that was the word I couldn`t remember

Thank you thank you! Yes they have, they captured the goat look perfectly the style of this goat reminds me of Lineol, does it you? Especially the face and the way it's painted.

Very nice Susanne! I especially like the new ram. He's smiling!

I'm still in love with the older Boer goat

Some 2011 PAPO remind me the old LINEOL indeed... Especially the yak

Wonderful Goats Susanne!!! The newer Goats are on my looooooong wishlist!!
They are marvellous!! Very good pics too.

Beautiful Papo farm, Susanne!
I also agree that Papo is getting inspiration in vintage figures.
Almost every new Papo browsers have that shape in the thumy, we only can see it with the figures in our hands. This kind of things makes all the difference. And not perfectly rounded as we see sometimes in other figures but with a more sculpted shape.

I am so happy with all your kind comments about my my flock , friends, that I can almost fly  
(But very very almost, - as you know I am very fond of chocolate   )
I was afraid everybody else think they are horrible

Yes ! Yes ! Of course he is a boer goat !!!!!
Thankyou, how silly of me not to realise it !
He is just a little darker than the ones we see here in Europe  

A bit like this guy, only not as fat    
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I also think he is wonderful  

Harriet : I don`t know very much about lineol, but you are right, rhere is some almost old-fashioned charm over many Papos, that I like extremely well  

Perhaps that is also why I like Bullyland and the older Schleich so much  

Thankyou again, friends, - phewh! what a relief that I am not the only one who like them  

The eyes of the goats are really well done, but I can´t say the same about the male sheep eyes xD (I know male sheeps have their own name but I don´t remember it right now :/) But I like him anyway! Great aditions ^^

Ram, is the name of a male sheep! :) Carneiro in Portuguese! :)

Thanks Roger! I´ll have to remeber the name, we have a milk brand called Ram

We call it "carnero" in Spanish, we have very similar languages ^^

Ah, I also have something in my computer called ram but my bad memory is not letting me remember what it is.

Why not

Inside my computer, there is something called RHUM

WOW! We learn so much about all kinds of stuff here

I have to try opening my computer also to see if there are little male sheep and bottles of booze inside
That would really explain a lot !!!

Ahahah! Baccardi in the Netherlands, Rhum in France and milk in Spain! Tell me what you drink and I'll tell you who you are!

Papo's Ewe is one of the best, IMHO. I love her.

from photos, it looks like her baby isn't quite up to her level, which must be why i haven't gotten him yet. It can't be because i am a lazy collector!  
And i still need to find the old ram. The old Papo sheep are among my favorites because i cannot look at them without laughing! That little lamb might be the most confused animal in history!

I think she is great, also. I just can`t understand why some people think they are all horrible

Yes, they are SO funny. They remind me of some old ones I have, where the legs are made from somthing like matches
They are so silly, that I ADORE them

you're right!! The body and legs of the old Papo Ram and Ewe do evoke the old stick-legged Putz sheep! No wonder their lamb is confused!

Any idea what breed of goat this is: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] maybe Alpine?
