I love the Indian rhino, whatever size it has, and the okapi and some others seem to be good too!
And now i see how famous our great friend Christophe is in the collectors world, as they made a special model from him...

Can't wait to get the Okapi, I'm not sure about the Indian rhino until someone else has it, then I can see better photos. But it does look gorgeous cheers

This Cyclope looks good! cyclops

Thanks for the pics!
Now that we have two nice lions, Papo and CollectA, an acceptable one, Schleich, I wait that Safari lion it will be better than is looking!
The capibara is a very nice news. doesn't metter if it is too big. Like Kiki jaguar, mine is waiting for food and much bigger much better!

I like your Avatar Roger, what brand is that? Looks really realistic!

Thank you Marina for the pictures and Harriet for their access to the forum. A few animals (capybara, badger, kudu, greater roadrunner, okapi) who would like to have, it looks very promising. No, but we'll see how it will look on sale in mass production. I'm curious of their proportion in relation to the Schleich, Papo, CollectA. Indian Rhinoceros by the black line IMHO looks like a cartoon. I am not in fact met such a rhinoceros.

I don't like that black line around the indian rhino's eyes either, looks odd. But you could always paint over the black lines.

I don't like the black line too and I already told it to Safari. Maybe if you do the same it could help.

I especially like this model because the sculpting seems very realistic Cool

But those black lines Shocked

Zbyszek, here is a pic of an Indian rhino who lived one hour car driving from me. It looks a lot like the Safari Wink

Kikimalou, can you please tell your contact at Safari ltd. to continue their wonderful Wildlife Wonders series(as usual... more big cats, bigger elephants and more apes) and to please make the smaller sized animals to scale!

Thanks for that picture Christophe, aren't Indian Rhinos gorgeous. I might just email them then about the black lines then Wink

Christophe. Thank you for the picture. I saw a rhinoceros in the Warsaw Zoo, and the same sculpture reflects what I saw. It's great. But the painting Evil or Very Mad

. Just like a little pebble in your shoe can hurt just the sight of those black lines tiring my eyes. Even my daughter said the first thing is - Dad, but what those black lines. It's for kids -. Very Happy

only for serious collectors, I know I would definitely buy them, as I'm sure other serious collectors would!
Charge a little more for a more detailed piece, I don't care, just make sure the quality, detail, and scale are PERFECT!

Sure they would! But how many serious collectors are there around the globe? Hundreds? Maybe a few thousands at most? I think such audience is not sufficient to make good sales, that's the bitter truth...

Maybe true about not that many serious collectors, so just make a few figures for the serious collectors and see how it goes.

Oh my... Okapi looks good bud it has chubby legs... what a shame. Okapi in real is having really slim legs Sad

Yes, they are chubby, but I don't mind, I love Okapis drunken

Yeah ,those black lines should vanish quickly, on the complete body of the Indian rhino! Shocked
