My meager AAA extant animals collection - PANGOLIN POWER! page 2

These figures were acquired as extras while buying other things, except for the pangolin, which I have had since I was a kid.

The black panther is my favorite. He looks like he is stretching. I have gotten very tired of "stalking" leopard and jaguar toys. The big lion I kind of hated at first, but he has grown on me. He looks like a stylized lion from a Chinese painting.

Thanks for the pics Seijun

I like very much the hyena but my favorite of the batch is the pangolin, the more I look at it, the more I love it

Could you make closer pics of this beauty ?

I will get a clearer pic tomorrow. It is cast from a real specimen.

Thank you

That is a great collection of AAAs, Pam

That pangolin...uhh, it was on German ebay last week, but the bids went sky-high ( for AAA-models)

A white wolf !!! I have never seen that one before It is beautyful, too.

You are right, AAAs have a habit of growing on you

Can you link me to the auction? I saw the small aaa pangolin on ebay once before. It was in with a lot of other toys but it did not go for very much. This was many months ago. I probably should have bid, but did not since I already had one.

Here is another picture I found of my pangolin, taken last year

I have also purchased this aaa pangolin. It is 14 inches long. My little one is 7 inches.

Wow those Pangolins are amazing! Great collection Pam.

There are several different species of pangolin. I bet a pangolin expert could tell which species these two figures were made from.

SEIJUN, my friend.....that a beautiful figure...¡ WOW

I like it very much....is wonderful.

I love the pangolin! The lion is also impressive. Thank you for posting the photos Pam!

Wonderful collection!! Congratulations!!

phenomenal pangolins cool

You know what is crazy? We used to own that white tiger and lion too! Sadly we gave them away or sold them when I was little. My favorite is the tiger. I have the baby figures for both and the cheetah and the Black leopard! But sadly my older brother was a bit of a chewer (I know gross!) when he had them so the cheetah and other snow leopard thing don't have tails. Also they are a bit beat up. I have a Hyena too form them. With any luck I will post pics of collection soon so you all can see them. Just check the collections every now and then. But crazy coincidence!

I love the pangolin!

Those pangolins... They are breaking my hearth So beautiful...

Pangolins!!

They're so sweet, if I didn't know better I'd think they were real!

I think so too!

Pa..pa..paaa..pantastic pangollllins!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!! Wow!

need them!
AAA has a lot of very realistic figurines,..those which are casts of real (dead) specimens,...

I emailed some pangolin experts and was told that these are most likely Chinese pangolins (Manis pentadactyla).

These AAA made from dead animals look really alive!
Here is missing a large pangolin! Thanks for showing!

I wonder if AAA made any pangolins that were even bigger? I have their desert monitor also, and it is huge (about 40 inches long if the tail is straightened out).

thanks Pam! Without you, i wouldn't have hunted for it as i wouldn't have known about it's existence.
But i'm happy with my baby pangolin now
