Are Yujin figures supposed to have some marking on them? I can't find any writing on my new turtle.

Some YUJIN have YUJIN marking on them, some have only CHINA and the year of birth and even some have PV because YUJIN used some PLAYVISIONS moulds, only the painting is different then

Oooops, I forget A big congratulation Noora

WONDERFUL additions, - they are a whole little collection with so many brands and so many diffrent species

Yes, of course, you have a dino collection now with the Agustinia. It is a lovely model.
Uhh, I can see that CollectA still has him, and he is not too big, it seems

I did not know that TM made sharks, it is a far cry better than the mammals, they make
The fox is ever so cute !!! Are you sure it is not a wolf ? never mind, it makes me happy that you look so well after him, so he can stand there smiling

Thankyou for the great pictures, and congratulations

Thank you Christophe and Susanne!

Hmm, maybe my Yujin isn't really a Yujin then Or maybe I need glasses.

And yes, the fox could be a wolf, actually he does look more like a wolf. I guess I was just hoping for him to be an arctic fox, because I don't have that many of those yet.

Wonderful additions Noora! I absolutely love the Tapir! wow.

I just got exactly the same Yujin turtle (Mauremys japonica) and mine has no markings on it whatsoever (not even 'China'). But, I didn't look carefully at the pieces before I put it together. (And I'm pretty sure it is a real Yujin, since it came with a mini-catalogue that is in good condition and does not have the shoddy printing characteristic of fakes. But I'm not expert.)

The White Fox/Wolf looks great too!

Thank you so much for the helpful info, Scott! My turtle arrived without a leaflet and the pieces were already together, but I believe it's a Yujin because the seller told so and she was very nice :) Anyway, good to know it's similar to yours and also the species!

Oh they are gorgeous Additions Noora! Congratulations I love the turtle and the dachshund is soo cute

Elephant and zebra are by Bully, the monkey is unknown to me.

Thank you so much, Yvette! They are all lovely!

I've thought about NOT collecting Bullyland, but seems like it's only the new figures that I don't like. Their material feels somehow wrong.
But these older ones are absolutely adorable! Thank you again!

Congratulations! The beaver is really adorable...
I agree that the material seems a bit too rubbery, but the old models are well sculpted and painted.
About the newer ones of bullyland, some are nice but when I look at the foxes...

Congratulations Noora!! A phantastic lot!! And hurray for Yvette!!

They are WONDERFUL
Congratulations

After I met Yvette, I have begun to think that Santa is a German lady

Now THOSE are cute monkeys!

Thank you, everyone!

Haha, yes, that must be true!

Noora, I am happy, that the animals are coming in and that you like the old Bullylands.
Susanne and Noora: Hm, today I thought nearly the same about Santa
But I think and I am sure, he is coming from Denmark, he lives there, at least in summer, on a lake with horses, dogs and cats and of course many reindeers, which he needs for the winter. But now it´s summer, and today is a beautiful reindeer from Denmark arrived. Well, here it is, the photos above, it is not beautiful ? Santa knows just everything, including that the reindeer was on my wishlist.
Thank you so much! But that was not all ....see the next pictures...

Noora, congratulations! I love all those figures. (I really like the group of mice. That is fantastic!)

Yvette, wonderful Caribou! I am jealous. Great pictures.

My son has got from Denmark many wonderful animal stickers! He was very happy about them and stuck some on his exercise book.

Thankyou, Yvette, for your kind words.
Only very, very small things compared to the gorgeous package I got from The German Santa today

Here are some additions.

Equorum dachshund is a trade from Kristie (Thank you so much!!!). It's more beautiful in real life than on this lousy photo I took:

Papo puffin I've had for a while already, but I haven't been able to decide if I want to keep it or not. I bought it from a web store, so it's brand new and came even in a plastic bag. BUT it has some red paint on it's left wing. I don't mind old figures looking old and used, but in this case I didn't know if I should return it or sell it or what. But it's been so long already that I guess returning is out of question. Maybe I'll just keep it and look at it only from this beautiful side:

The old Schleich giraffes I won in an auction with some other figures. That was already a while ago too, but I haven't been able to decide what to do with them. I had kind of decided not to collect big savanna figures, but seems like I like them too much to be able to sell or trade them. And I already started collecting elephants, so...

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

That's very typical of me, not being able to decide if I should keep a figure or not. I still have at least 20 figures that I haven't either put on my shelves or on my trade list. I just buy them from flea markets or win in auctions with other figures I'm looking for. And they end up waiting in a box for me to decide what to do with them. I guess most of them I eventually keep. Does anyone else do like this?

I kind of try to limit my collection, but I guess I've already gone past the point of having reasonable amount of figures. I might just as well get whatever I feel like. And if I change my mind or run out of space, I can still sell or trade them later.. This week I saw a Snoopy figure on flea market, and since it's a beagle, my second-favourite dog breed, I had to buy it, even though it's not very realistic
