Arrakai's new animals for 2012

@Harriet; Yes, some of them are realy supercute My favorite id the little Dachshund (I think it is) I have three of them (it´s the ones in the thirs row from the front, black/brown). The big ears and that cute little expression on their faces just makes your heart melt

@Ken yeo; Yes, that one is realy great. And the thing I like most about it is that it´s made of "regular" plastic, like we are used to, and not the hollow, fragile variant that is custom to breyer.

@Amy; Thanx, glad you liked them

Here are the safari animals I found last month

A bunch of safari good luck minis (I think )

Some of them goes realy well with others when it comes to scale, like this; (maybe just a little to big, I guess, but much better than the other ones)

Two wonderful Vanishing wild from Amy (now I just need to find mummy gorilla)
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And the very big and wonderful monterey bay grey whale, also from Amy (but I think it´s a new version of the paint, as it doesnt look like the one in the catalog)

And finaly, the papo emperor penguin with chick, from a trade with Kristie
(I put it here, since I only found one papo last month )

Here are the rest of the animals I got last month. Some are realy interesting

Three "glow in the dark" The antelope and mandrill(?) looks pretty interesting, maybe when I get the time, I will try and give them some paint.

Two dalmations from Kid kore

A pretty big and accually very nice poodle. And you can never guess the brand
It´s pedigree I didnt know they made toys to, besides pet food.

A realy cute little foal from breyer. I think it´s stablemates or something like that, ´cus it´s only about 4cm long.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And two little reisler phanter cubs from Willy. Now the family is complete

Great additions! I'm looking forward to seeing the glow-in-the-dark ones painted, it'll be fun to see how that turns out.
The foal is a G1 stablemate, probably a later model due to the overall smoothness. It also appears to be a custom, do you know who painted it?

Fantastic additions!

I especially love the vintage Lady and the Tramp! Jealous! I collect also Disney figures among realistic animal figures...

I got over 20 oldies last month, and most of them from the same seller, who sold lots and lots of oldies a coupple of weeks ago. I won many of them, but unfortunetly, I missed the best ones (oryx, eland, bison, gibbon etc) as these ones went for over 30-40 euros a piece

But here are the ones I did win

A horse with metal ears and a very damaged elastolin stork (but I bought them anyway, as they only cost a euro a piece)

Three sheeps. unknown brands.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

A cow and calf. I think they are lineol, but I´m not sure, as they are only marked with "germany"
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Two male lions, both unmarked.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

A kangaroo, I think it´s a lineol copy, marked n.f
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

A little herd of roedeers
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
and a bigger, lying down one

Here you see the differense in size

Three very cute little monkeys
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Two little hares. The running one is elastolin, the sitting one... no clue.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

A very nice little wild boar, unfortunetly, the tail is missing.
I´m not sure about the brand, it feels lighter, almost hollow, more like veb plaho (sorry, dont know how to spell it) or something like that.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And of course my favorite ones. A orangutang in a tree and a beautiful schimpansee (or maybe gorilla??), with a rock. I realy love this one. Does anybody know what brand it is? (I cant find any mark)
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Congratulations Anna! The meerkat goes much better than other figures even still a little big. Exactly as you are saying! :)
Those are two Papos, that's a figure but 2 creatures!

WOW! Many very nice animals!! Congratulations for Your finds Anna
I can't help too much with brand recognizing, let's wait for our experts Maybe the orang-utan with tree is Tipple Topple, just look at Kiki's site [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
It's fantastic to see this kangaroo, and this unknown hare, very interesting! Hare has especially nice pose with one ear up and one down

Congrats again! I'm not also an expert but I'm sure Kiki, Willy and some other friends will find an answer. The orangutan remembers me the Tiplle-topple but is not almost surely and the chimp is really nice!
I must study and be used with these figures, for example, the hare remembers me a lot the US style of Marx and Auburn.
I love them you are really lucky!

I love these animals....congratulations

Congrats Anna! The grey whale is beautiful!

Lots of wonderful additions!
I really like that chimpanzee too, and the kangaroo. The running rabbit was copied by Auburn in the US during the 1950s. Those sheep look really nice too.

Great additions here too, that's a really nice poodle. I wonder what else they have made.

At least 3 others it seems. Labrador, beagle and rottweiler
This Australian seller has them in original packages eBay seller

Curious figures! :) Thanks for showing! :)

Actually the paint on the grey whale is the older version. Nice figs by the way.

A cow and calf. LINEOL 1950 to 1960

A very nice little wild boar, HAUSSER ELASTOLIN

TIPPLE-TOPPLE Orang-Utan and LINEOL Gorilla with rock (1932-1940)

Great additions, congrats!
The roedeer lying down and the chimp with rock in hand are my favourites. I like their positions.

Congrats! The poodle is beautiful :)

You can see more of the Pedigree dogs here for example (only a german shepherd dog missing). The owner of that site is also on this forum, maybe she or someone else could tell more.

Congrats! That whale looks cute, I want him too!

Congrats, wonderful oldies

Arrrgggh ! Anna, you MUST NOT paint those glow-in-the-dark models
They are made to glow, you can`t mean it

Ohh, so many lovely models you got !!!!
Pedigree...what is that? The Pedigree pal, animal feed compagny ?
Those dogs a beauuutyful

Lovely, I adore those little models, - and the whale is GORGEOUS

Nice and interesting animals!! Congrats again!!!

A big lot of beautyful oldies!!! Congratulations!!!

@Roger; Yes, still a bit big, but I think, with the big cats, It would fit perfectly (But I´m not sure I want to post it with the cats, they might get hungry )

Two, one, one and a half who knows

@Ken yeo; Thanx Yes it sure is I would love to get all the marine animals from the big brands, but then I think I have to get a bigger place, because they are huge (But sometime, I probably will )

@K907; It is? thanx for the info

@xfoxx; Thanx Yes, the whale is amazing. Now I have both the mother and the calf, but unfortunetly, their colors dont realy fit, but they are still both wonderful

@Susanne; The good thing about the minis is that they dont take up any space. You can have thousands, and you dont even notice them The same cannot be said about the whales
