Science & Nature figures from the good STS friends!

I received very nice gifts and figures from friends of the forum and I'm delaying a lot showing them .
Here are some of them, Science & Nature! That's a company that I love and surely want to see more figures from them in my collection!
Small series and birds series are my favorite!

Yes, I'm almost sure all of them are small versions!

Congratulations Roger! Hurray for STS! I love that last photo!

Great batch Roger, I'm happy for you

Great models there.I have some of their models and they are very nice and well made so would be good to if they released some more models.

Thanks Harriet Christhophe and Taylor!

Wonderful animals from a brand I never heard of before (yes, I have lots to learn ) I absolutely love that little big-eared mouse - if it is a mouse at all. And the kiwi and ... they are all really awsome!

I love all the unusual species of this brand!! Congratulations dear friend!!

Thanks Simone, the bilby is indeed a very cute and exotic looking animal. That's curious that the word bilby means long-nosed rat although it is not related with rodents. The closest relatives are bandicoots and they are more closely related with kangaroos and koalas than with rodents or rabbits.

What really makes me enjoy a lot to collect is also because it is a very funny way to learn about animals.

Thanks Andreas! That is really a fantastic brand for species collectors like us!

They are wonderful, I like animals from Down Under, and was really mad when Mojo put out their list for 2013 and that continent wasn't on the list.
I'm still missing the Kiwi and the Wallaby in my collection!

The birds only exist in that size, and as far as I know, there is not a large quoll ...somebody please correct me if I am wrong

Thanks Bojan, I'm also still missing some of them although I don't intend to collect all. Numbat, quokka, possum, blue hrem are some examples! Echidna is arriving home soon!
Some Australian animals are expected in Mojo for 2013 and unless one of them is already finished.

I think you are correct Susanne, also I don't remember seeing the quokka in large version?

Music for my ears! Can you tell us more about it, please?

Yes, I can tell that that figure was projected to include 2012 releases but as the brand was not happy enough with the figure decided to introduce it only in 2013 to present something that respects the standards of quality of the brand. Mojo wants to give a special place to Australian and New Zeland fauna and not only keep koala, kangoo and platypus as it happens with other similar brands. I believe the range will never be so wide as it is in Science & Nature but remember that is a brand only dedicated to local fauna. I can also say that I'm showing the species on this tread and as soon as I can share more information I'll do with a huge pleasure!

Thank you, Roger!
