Susanne's new additions for 2012

This week I got a very, very special package from Kristie !!!
Each item is rare and fills out a hole in some of the parts of my collection where I could not fill them out without help

First of all the very old and very rare pig family, - it is so old and rare, that t is not in Gascher`s catalogue

And the giraffes from Noah`s Pals
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Sumo sent a link to a shop in USA, and I discovered that they still had some of the old "Fuzzy Farm" models, and Kristie was so enormously kind as to order for me !
They are so neatly packed that I have still not been able to bear to open them all , - here the duck and rooster :

The bay horse, whith the outer layer taken off :

And the Fyssy Cow , - fortunately there was a hole in the wrapping, so I took a deep breath and unpacked her ! - it is difficult for me and my faithful, old camera to get sharp pictures of the "Fuzz", so even if the camera was not held straight, this is the best I can do
Isn`t she gorgeous ?

Now I "only" need the sheep and the gray pony, then I have the whole Fuzzy Safari-farm-set

Last but not least :The new panda from CollectA !
MPV has succeded to get it now also, but when Kristie got it for me, I could not get it here in Europe

Thankyou very, very much Kristie
You have done me many great favours, and this package was completely incredibly great

Kristie is a gift from the Gods!
Among many figures I also feel very lucky receiving the Safari aardvark from her. Your pigs are 1000 times rarer but I feel lucky anyway.
It is nice to see that you are almost completing your fuzzy farm collection and that you added a pair of giraffes to your Noah's Ark!
How great the red panda looks in your picture. It looks you have a special touch to photograph red pandas!

Hurray for Kristie! (and for Sumo too)

Those are all wonderful additions Susanne. I especially like the Noah's Pals Giraffe pair. I seem to remember Kristie posting about those a while ago. Do they stand firmly or are they a bit unstable? (Just curious.)

Congratulations!

Thankyou guys, it is such a joy to share with you

Scott, yes, they stand very well.
Kristie had packed them really carefully, with cardboard to support the legs, and lots of bouble plastic in the box to prevent them from getting deformed

Susanne, you really should free those fuzzies from their plastic wrap cages.

-Kristie

Giraffes from Noah`s Pals is great!

Congratulation to Sumo and Kristie for their contribution to the Incredible National Animal Toys Museum of Denmark

Susanne, I agree with Kristie

Big congratulations Susanne and big hurrays for Sumo and Kristie!!
This animals looks wonderful.

But attention with the Noahs Pals giraffes, they lost their heads easily

I know the little pig in the front (right side) from my childhood. I get this from my mom with the words, she had this since a long time.

Susanne, I agree with Kristie

I know
They will be freed some day when I want to give myself a real treat
Perhaps on the day when I get the sheep and grey pony ?

Thankyou, Andreas
I will look well after the giraffes !

About the pigs, - I just heard from a reliable source that they first came in 1959 !!!

Congrats Susanne, those giraffes are precious

Congratulations Susanne! What a great animals I love giraffes especially
Hurray for Kristie!

I love the fuzzy cow!! Hurray for Kristie, congratulations Susanne, they are truly delightful

these giraffes are amazing!!!!

Without the friends here at the forum, my collection would be a lot more booring
Yvette and Kristie help me so much that I could write a whole novel, and others too.
However three parcels sort of belong together, because they have filled in gabs then I would NEVER have been abel to fill in without help

Frome Roger I got the Asatian from Maia & Borges.
Gosh, I have been looking for him for YEARS !!!!
He even came in his own, handmade, lovely box

Look, how happy he is

A most surprising gift from Andreas : My very first Marx figure
A beautyful, beautyful Baltimore Oriole

I LOVE it ! Hopefully some day I will be able to get more models from Marx, but they are hard to find for someone living in Denmark

And from Phil ( Schleich61) : The real, old Gorille from Safari Authentics Yesss !

THANKYOU ever so much, dear friends

Congrats Susanne

Wow! Congratulations Susanne, they're awesome additions

Congrats Susanne! Wonderful gifts~

I LOVE the classics. Especially that hippo.

-Kristie

Susanne, I'm glad you enjoyed the figures! So you need a baby! I'll work in it! I hope you don't take my comment too seriously!
Very nice figures you received with the help of the wonderful STS friends!
Ah, I like the classics picture where the crocodile is the central character!

Congrats SUSANNE

THANKYOU, friends

Yes, the croc was the first one, - he knows all the tricks before the camera

I am glad that the bird arrived you safetly!! Phantastic newcomers, especially the classics!!! Big congratulations!!!

Sometimes trades can be VERY lucky !

For me it is almost impossible to trade with our German friends, because they already have everything, and in Denmark we only have Schleich and Schleich ...at terrible prices !

But when Philipp wanted to trade the lying gazelle, for once I did have something he wanted

So now Phill says he is very happy with the trade, and I am over the moon

Look :

The gazelle had a beautyful winged ant as travel companion

Now it begins to look like a whole little flock
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Does anyone know the brands ? Both Gazelle and ant are marked "CHINA".
My guess is that the Gazelle is Nayab and the ant Wild Republic, but I do not know

Comgrats the Gazelle is amazing
