That is a wise decision, specially Colorata set is very interesting and diversified. Looking forward to see them.

Very nice collection of penguins indeed! And, yes, colorata set will be great addition too!

New companions
2 Colorata (Chinstrap and Adelie), one Bullyland (Big Emperor Penguin), one CollectA (African Penguin) and Kaiyodo's : Emperor, King, Adelie, Gentoo adult, Gentoo chicks, Chinstrap, Sclater's and Yellow-eyed penguin :)
I'm still waiting for Royal Penguin, Magellanic Penguin, Humboldt Penguin by Kaiyodo, and Colorata with 14 figurines.
All the best

Thank You Anna :-)
Literally just came to me another parcel of Hong Kong,
this time with the Royal Penguin by Kaiyodo :)
I am very happy, this is the only model of this species, it is only Kaiyodo.

Wow, I haven't seen this thread before. What a difference fro, page 1 to page 13! This is super awesome!

Such wonderful display, and gorgeous collection of penguins

Great must have :)

This is such a wonderful topic, and a fabulous collection!! I didn´t know it until about ten minutes ago, but I love penguins, too! :-) I just googled Emperor penguin chicks images, and oh my god the pictures that come up are completely adorable! They don´t even look real! Super love your collection and the display!

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], congratulations for all your new penguins. I think that's a fabulous thematic to be collected and it is not anymore boring like before when market was filled with unspecified penguins or emperors. :) Please let me know if you find an extra Colorata, especially the Adélie penguin.

It seems your beautiful cat also loves penguins!
You got Colorata, heaven is yours, the closest I have to a Colorata penguin is the similar Safari chinstrap.
About Schleich... ... the company was always ambiguous with their penguins. That figure you acquired was always sold as a king penguin, I have to check how it was called in a German catalogue once I can't remember. Though, despite the bright colors ressembling more a king penguin, the dark back and ear patch are clearly from an emperor. Remember that the later group of chicks, that are undoubtfully emperors, were also sold as king penguins chicks. I suggest that these ambiguous Schleich penguins should be called chancellor penguins instead.

Sorry for double post but I want to share another story with you once you're clearly interested in penguins. In 2011, German Chancellor Angela Merkel adopted a humboldt penguin of a German Aquarium and called it Alexandra. In 2012, Schleich started the production of a new penguin, interestingly the most similar to a humboldt, the African penguin released in 2013. I am not sure if there wasn't a little mistake here again.

Of course.. The new penguin from Schleich is an African penguin, not Humboldt. haha

Only to keep things clear, I am not sure it is a mistake of course, Schleich is a German brand and media events have often influence in some decisions of most brand releases. Probably there's no connection between Schleich African penguin and Alexandra but that's an interesting coincidence nonetelless. Schleich call correctly their figure as an African penguin and it is correct contrarily to these King penguins I commented previously.

Oh no, please no Merkel here.

Andreas, that's not a political comment from me, it could be Mickey Mouse instead.
