Oh yes, i hope i hope i hope. This was a really surprise for this year.

Roger just sent me the Wood Duck and I must say it is beautiful! I really hope to be able to add more of this brand to my collection.

Thank you, Roger.

Does someone know if Modellpferdeversand will have the ducks in their range next year? I don´t receive an answer

Few times I've asked, they are expecting them since July

I dont know but i think yes- why not

MPV is crouded with lots of known brands. Maybe they think that there is no interest in these kind of lines like Maia & Borges, so I think the best we can do is to show them that we are interested in these figures. Maybe e-mailing them asking for M&B figures. I know the brand will keep developing more animal series, even more exciting that this one, but I suppose it will depend how well accepted is this line. I absolutely love them and although I didn't need the mallard and swan, this was one of the series I wanted complete. Fantastic manufacturing quality, very interesting set of unusual species, lovely figures, very recomendable. In painting they are even a lesson to some of the best known brands.

I agree, Roger, that Maia y Borges is a terrific brand. It is much better known, I believe, among collectors of plastic cartoon characters. However, I think M + B is now going to make a big move into the animal figurine market, and I think this makes perfect sense... :)

Sealife animals are available at MPV, lake birds not yet!

Hi,

M&B sealife is available here: figurenfundgrube.de

Thanks for telling, Stitch!

THESE ARE MUST HAVES! FOUND THEM ON EBAY AND SANTA BETTER BRING THEM!!!!

I really love those waterfowl, but I'm worried they don't come in my size range. I prefer 2-4 inch plastic animals, so any help would be great. The biggest waterfowl I own is the Schliech swan.

Emma, unfortunately comparison pictures that Yvett posted in M&B birds topic got lost. Those figures are not very big although they are larger than toob like figures. They fit nicely with ducks from major brands and none of them is larger than a Schleich swan.
I recomend them without any doubt, their only minus is that they're not cheap at all. :)

Thanks for your input, I hope Yvette's thread is found again.

Do you think it would be around the same size as the Schliech mallard (hen or drake)?

Schleich is smaller as far as I can remember. Please chekc below a size comparison with a S&N kiwi. The S&N bird is around 2 inches tall while duck is around 2-1/4 inches tall and 2-1/2 inches long.

Thank you for taking the time to do that for me Roger! That's very helpful! It gives me great perspective too since I own that Kiwi.

Hah, lucky shot! I hope you like the size.

It is to my liking. When I get Christmas money, it'll all be covered.

Great, be careful because they love fish. As everything is now clear for you, I'll merge this topic with the main thread about M&B waterfowls.

Okay, thank you! Haha lol I've collected birds longer than fish, but not as extensively. I have given up on dragons though... Lol.
