Metallisuchus' collection

This is my small extant animals collection. Oh actually, there is one more figure I got recently, which I still have to take a picture of. My main interest is in prehistoric animals which I'll get around to posting some other time. Unfortunately, that collection isn't all together as I have the majority of those at another location in storage.

Anyway, from L to R: Gray wolf, wolf pup, baby panda, flamingo, Atlantic puffin, red panda, snow leopard, snow leopard cub. All Wild Safari pieces.

Nice modern animals there
Also please post you Dinosaur collection, I'd love to see them here too!

Red panda is so cute!
Never seen them in real life, but all figures that represent them are funny and cuddly:)

And the puffin's also very nice.

LOVELY collection

Yes, red pandas look even more nce and cuddly than the giant panda, I think, - but THEY BITE
One escaped from a zoo here in Denmark some years ago.
It had been a heavy blizzard at night and the snow lay so high that the little guy could walk over the fence .
A farmer found it in his stable, - it took 3 men the whole morning and heaps of treats to get the cutie into a transport cage

Those wolves look great. I don`t remeber seing pictures of them before
If ever you have time, I would LOVE to se (a) close-up(s) of them

Really funny.

Nice small collection!!

Lovely collection! I like the red panda.

Nice collection!

Great collection! I love that antarctic puffin

Edit. Sorry: Atlantic puffin

I love all of them, mainly flamingo, puffin and red panda. I believe also that the wolf is very nice!

I agree; that Safari wolf is one of the best out there (in my humble opinion). I like it better than either of the current Schleich. Mojo and Papo are its competitors in my view. The Safari howling wolf was one of my very first acquisitions as well. (I had only the Schleich moose and grizzly bear before I got it.)

Great collection! I really love the puffin. :)

The puffin was the first one I picked out. I think seeing Wildheart's puffin had a lot to do with me looking for one.

For anybody who's interested, tomorrow I should have my other extant models photographed and posted. I picked up two small Safari pieces today (more based on the low price than favoritism, but good additions nonetheless).

I'll also try to get some close-ups on those wolves

I can`` t wait to see them

I'm also eager to see them as well more pictures of the wolf! :)
Scott, the wolf will probably join my collection. :)

We are all interested, you can count on that! Looking forward to more photos of both the new models and the wolf.

As requested by Susanne, here are some more pics of my Safari wolves...

I'll post some more things tomorrow - it's getting late!

My Safari Lioness with cub that I picked up a few weeks ago

I actually forgot, but this Safari Peacock was my first extant piece - I bought it for my girlfriend as a stocking-stuffer this past X-mas.

And finally, my newest additions - Safari Bengal Tiger cub & Fox

Thanks for your extra pictures of fantastic figures. I like them all, including the peacock. :)
That lioness is extraordinary and thanks also for the pictures of the wolves. The adulte is very interesting indeed.

Wonderful pics!!

Thanks guys. I'm really starting to like collecting extant models now almost as much as the extinct ones, which I thought would never happen.

Okay here are my newest pieces which arrived a week ago. I would've posted sooner but my laptop now needs repair and I'm stuck using my old PC for now.

I ordered all of these through TGF Toys and they are... Papo Nile Crocodile, Papo green T-rex juvenile, Mojo Fun Sable Antelope (my first Mojo, and the BEST Mojo - thank you all at this forum for making that happen before I was a member!), Schleich Okapi (first Schleich as well), Collecta Torosaurus & Climbing Koala (first Collectas!), and Wild Safari African Wild Dog & Arabian Oryx.

I wanted to share this because of the neat red tint I achieved by placing my finger over the flash of my camera.

Thankyou for the wonderful pictures of the wolves ! They are beauuutyful wolves, howling from a rocky hill

The lioness is SO much more nice than she looks in the catalogue, ...and the peacock

Thankyou very much for all the pictures

What a great collection! Thanks for sharing! :)

We have the Safari wolf cub at the local shop and after seeing your photos I might have to add him to my collection. :)
