That's a good idea!

Congratulations with your new additions, Willy! :)

Yes Ken, it was ment to be this way, but i just din't saw it...

Thank you Rogerio!

I am to busy, or just lazy sometimes this month, to work on the forum, i am sorry for that.
To keep the work limited, i will put all of the new stuff that came in the last weeks for my collection in the last weeks of februari 2012, which i didn't show yet, here in one tread, to make things less complicated.
Most is from trades from some of you guys, not much that i was able to buy new with not to much money available for that...
Here is everything(i hope i didn't forget to much...)

The next 2 items i forgot to show, as they came with the large AH WWF figurines as a present, they made in polystone.

Willy, - you got SO many fantastic models

I have been scrolling through your pictures several times, and there are so many great additions !
If I should pick out the ones that made me really impressed, it is your collection of penguins ! Those are just awesome

That little dragon fish is amazing, also, and the Safari Maountain lion, the papos, and the...

CONGRATULATIONS

And thankyou for not forgetting the STS.

Wonderful additions!

I love the herring gulls!!

Also, for some reason I fell in love with the look of the Hausser Elastolin european red deer doe. It looks so happy and cute. : )

Hi Willy, I'm really sorry to heard about the STARLUX giraffes They were a Circus set with the small MrLoyal (and not Torero... )

The RAE common toad was made for PRIOR, I guess it wasn't the only one.

About the pangolin, aardvark and armadillo, I still think the originals are PRIOR

Lots of nice additions for you Willy. Some great ones there.
Your Auburn deer has lost part of his antlers. I have a China bird I am holding for you, I will add a deer buck for you. I know I have the yellow one from my trade list shown here. I may have an extra in the brown or white too if you prefer the more 'natural' colors.

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

Congratulations Willy!!! A wonderful big lot of newcomers!!!

It is funny, we got 2 animals by Rae last month a we had never heared of this brand.

Congrats, they are wonderful! Does Safari always put those numbers on the legs of the animals?

Congrats. I think i like the triggerfish despite it's very colourful,..But you got the PV macaque! enviousness!

Willy, I'm glad you've found some time to post in the forum again! :)
So many great additions!!!
Curious that the Britains copies, even from Prior, are so clearly copies that they copy even what is wrong!
I don't know who made the original armadillos, but the Prior ones it was surely Christophe once I also received one from him!

Congrats, Willy.
I like those wild cats particularly.
And the Mammoth's rather interesting- never seen sth like that before.

Yes, those old Hausser penguins are nice, and then in those different scales!

Thank you Kristaru, those gulls are good, even in polystone!
Those old Hausser Elastolin models are great indeed, this red deer seems to be smilng indeed on a bigger pic...

Yes my friend, the came here really broken in many many parts, but i have at leat 2 good models, and i am happy for that!!

The toad is really marked with RAE.

About the pangolin, aardvark and armadillo, I still think the originals are PRIOR

I guess that could be the truth!

None of the models shown before has antlers that are broken of, not one of the female red deer, and the calf neither...

I didn't knew that either, and it is anoying actually, it does make the quality of the models down...

Yesssss, both are nice in my eyes!

If you copy something, you should copy all of it, isn't it so Rogerio?
Even those old copies are telling something about the history of making animal models.

Thanks Daria, the mammoth was made by VEB Plaho first, and shortly after that by Marolin, which was the original company in the first place anyway...confusing?...

With interesting animal species!

Congratulations Willy! Many beautiful models! Hooray for STS friends

He Willy

that are some nice figures you have there,

congrads

Martien

That the copies are part of the history of this world I agree completly! :)
If I was a hard collector of a brand I would surely not only collect the originals, variations and special editions, as well the copies! They are a part of the story of the copied brand. :)
But that when a brand copy other brand should keep what is wrong I'm not sure I agree! Anyway I understand! If Britains had done a camel with 3 humps I'm sure that a copy would be not a copy if the copying brand has done it with 2 humps!

congratulations willy!! wonderful figures!

Schleich male Orang is one of their nicest figures!

Thank you all guys!

Congratulations Willy, they were a lot of nice addtions!!
