Thank you for the giraffe picture Anna! I really have to get that one, it's the perfect size I think. Has anyone seen one for sale anywhere?

I manged to get one a few weeks ago in the old painting style. That is the only one I have seen for sale I'm sure there are more though. The most I see is the one that you already have.

Yeah, they seem hard to get these ones. There's one on ebay with the other two giraffes and calves, but the legs are badly bent.

hmm, is it the one in the first pic your after, or the second?

I could consider trading it with you, if you mabey have any schleich (or maybe safari) that I´m looking for (you can just post a pic on schleich that you are willing to trade it for, and I can see If theres any one I´m interested in)

Tell me what you think about that :)

It's the first one, the larger Giraffe, Anna. What Schleich are you after?

Hmm, hard to say. there are so many of them I think it´s easier if you pm me some photos of what you have for trade

This is difficult, I don't have any models in my own collection to trade, but maybe I could trade with some new models you don't have, like some new Schleich for 2010?

Hmm, I dont know. Do you have any animals from other brands that you are willing to trade?

OK, I'll have a look through my collection and get back to via PM Anna. I know one model which I don't mind parting with and that's the retired Schleich Giraffe (Don't know the item number). A Giraffe for a Giraffe only if you're interested, he's never been played with, but doesn't have his tags I'm affraid. Anyway I'll let you know by PM tomorrow!

Great collection of AAA's Anna!
I have quit a few myself, but i am always surprised how many models they made through the years...
There are always new models turning up for me...

Here are some pics of the AAA I found this month

I think these are realy good. And it´s nice to see a peacock with the tail down

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Yes it is nice to see a peacock with it's tail down, great finds Anna!

Great additions. Congratulations.

Congratulations Ana!
I never had a AAA in my hands. I don't know any shop selling in Portugal. Are AAA has nice as it looks. Are similar to other brands?

AAA have an unique style.Most of their animals aren't so good looking,BUT there are some nice ones in between.
Never seen the down-tailed-peacock before.I have the other one,too.One of my first AAA's!

Congratulations for good finds Anna

Peacock with the tail down is nice to see indeed! :)
And which cat is that? Not a clouded leopard by any chance?

Well, first of all most of them are much bigger that the other brands. And like Wildheart said, they have a "special" look to their animals.

Most of them are average, not too bad, but not realy good eather. But there are some gems among them

The cat is accually a cheeta (at least it says so under it). It has a pretty funny look to it, dont you think

Thanks Ana!
I'm building my collection in two ways. Some animals I only buy the one I like. Some other I'm buying all I find even if is bad. I'll try to find a AAA lion.
This cheetah is very different from others but is really funny!

Congratulations on your new AAA's Anna.
I do have the little big panda from this lot, the peacocks are on my never ending wishing list...
The peacocks are very nice indeed.
In the past some composition brands, and Elastolin Hausser from the 1970's(plastic with a soft feeling) made peacocks with their tail down, Elastolin Preiser copied them in a bigger scale in hollowcast hardplastic.

Roger, when you visit a zoo next time, then you should look around in the zoo-shop, a lot of zoo's do sell AAA around there...

Thanks for the idea Willy! I'll try to find it. In Lisbon Zoo there's only Schleich!

Congratulation Anna

in the 1950's and 60's, CLAIRET and JIM also produced tail down peacocks.

this is a black shoulder peacock. it,s very nice....it not a common peafowl.

To Alexmotoc:
Nice to hear from you Alexmotoc. Have you been collecting long and is AAA one of your favorite figure companies? The people on this forum love to look at others collections if you are comfortable posting them.

To Anna:

Very nice finds!
I also really like the peacocks.
They are on my wish list just like Willy.
Is there a site where ELC / AAA is posted as to what they make?

Like I´ve said befor, I have mixed fellings about AAA. Some models are fine, while others are pretty poor.

But one thing that I think they are realy good at are cats (domestic ones)

I found these three beautis last month. They are pretty big, but they are among my favourite cats (again, domestic )

the eyes are a little weird on this one, but I still love it

unfortunatly, one of the paws are a little "clumpy"

The most damaged of the three, but my absolut favorit. Loove the pose

Congratulations Anna. I like these cats too, I have two walking ones, a black one and another the same colour as yours.

Congratulations Anna!
I love cats... and they love parrots! Take care of it!:)

Ohhhh, I LOVE those kitties !
The one schrtching his chin is just like we see them every day , - golly, I wished they were mine

Thanks for the pictures, AAA has so many nice stuff. Unfortunately we never see them here in Dnemark

Ohhh, those peacocs, - they are adorable

So, Willy, they are on my wishing list too

Thank you so much for the pictures, Ana, quality photoes, too, as usual
