The SCHLEICH 2012 male Gorilla walkaround by Kikimalou

I have the new gorilla family for a few months now. It is probably one of my first 2012 additions.

Since The "When SAFARI Ltd family meet PAPO male" topic has borned again those last days, since Balti asked for more pics in the Sebillba's "My primates collection" topic, I guess it was time to show you a few pics of the new SCHLEICH citizen.

I will also add a few pics in the old "When SAFARI Ltd family meet PAPO male" topic  

Now let's the pics talking  

The model scale is nearly 1:15.

By the way, I added more comparison pics in the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] topic

Congratulation, great model.

Great walk around Kiki! I think it is very lovely ape figure. I like pose, texture, proportions, arms, hands and feet as well as the very calm eyes. Surely I want him also to my collection perhaps even today

What I don't like is his wife only Although she has nice body shape and good texture, she also has the face I cannot look at. So Mr Schlech Gorilla will have to come to my collection alone

Great pictures, Christophe

And a good models to discuss, - comparing him to the previous male gorillas from Schleich, he must clearly be another sub-species..
Shorter fur and differnet nose...a western lowland gorilla perhaps ?

I must admit I am not too fond of his face, he looks a bit dishonest - if I were a female gorilla, I would not trust him to be a good leader of the gang

But it look more like a body Builder!!

Once again Kiki, amazing photos, thanks for taking the trouble to take them and share them with us.

And Susanne, thank you for the comparison shot of the three Schleich males, I've been wanting to see these together. I originally passed on the middle one as I thought he looked too similar to the latest one, but now I see he's very different. He has a really nice "classic" gorilla face, though his body is far less detailed the the new one. Wish I'd bought him when I had the chance recently at a reasonable price, but as a nice compromise, I've just bought the Papo male instead, who was also quite a bit cheaper.

What a man what a man

Thanks for another great walk around, Christophe!
I'm sure some new gorillas will appear soon, CollectA has poor figures and Mojo hasn't started with apes yet!

I wish you are right Rogério

Nice pics. Kiki and also Susanne , your trio pic. is brilliant. I also think he belongs to a subspecies . I like his family too .

Any body has thought of this guy.....magnificient and really handsome , isn't he ? Safari ltd. WW series .

apologise Kiki and Susanne , I am not a great photographer like you people

There is no place here for apologize Doc, your pics are very welcome  

The WW seems really awesome , the VW family too but they are a lot bigger.

Smaller gorillas like the BANDAÏ, COLORATA and KAIYODO Red Data ones are great too but again uneasy to ompare with the nearly 1:20 productions.

The pics are not the best...

They are simply superb figurines ...... esp. I love the last one .....very lively [ which brand / ?]

and when you mention 1:20 sclae , I remember the Mac donalds Gorillas

I am looking forward for Kaiyodo Red Data too!

WW series is beautiful!

Loving all these fantastic gorilla photos!! Dr.Narayanan your WW gorilla is superb, his face is so expressive, especially the eyes. Do you also have the orangutan from this series? I would love to see a pic of these two great apes together. I wasn't planning on collecting this larger scale, but I'm thinking they might go well with my bullyland chimps which were bigger than I expected.

I made a walkaround of the Orang-utan [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Thanks for linking to your photos Christophe, it really is massive! I absolutely love it, but I think it's too big for my collection, maybe even too big stand with my bully chimps.... but don't be too surprised if I end up getting one!
