I think the Lineol one is my favourite actually

Sorry Roger, I will explain why I like the Schleich one best - I think she's more elegant and it doesn't look stiff like the Papo and Safari do. I like the Papo alot but not enough to buy, also the glued together parts put me off as you'll easily see the lines against the white of the feathers.

Thanks Harriet, I enjoy a lot reading your opinions! we lear always much more and build a better opinion when we share our points of view.

Thanks for your pictures, Sue! The lines in the body are very noticeable indeed and doesn't contribute to the spectacularity of the figure. The open bill, detailed fish and paws free of grass give some grace to the figure, so it is a shame that it has so visible seams.
Even I also don't like the lines I'll think I'll pick one for my collection!

Nothing more to add,I'm completely with you Roger! I'll probably buy one anyway,when I'll see it in a shop.

Thank you Joan, I'm glad you find it useful.

I really like that Peruvian Pelican - someone should make that for certain.

I am disappointed by this. I will probably end up buying a Schleich Pelican if it is without lines.

Sue, lines on our pelican are much less visible
