wow those are beautiful new additions Anna. congrats.

Thank You Sauroid!!!

Awesome additions Anna Congratulation !

Anna, could you make a review or walkaround about the BANDAÏ Galapagos set ?

Ohh, my goodness

What an enormous lot of absolutely wonderful models
You really have striked gold there, WOW !!!!

I never heard about the *Amami rabbits * before, so I found them on Wikipedia in case somebody is interested.
What brand is the model ?
CONGRATULATIONS, dear Anna, - now your Dutch collection must be almost larger then your total one when you lived in Poland, isn`t it ?

Thank You so much dear Kiki and dear Susanne!!!!

Susanne Amami rabbit is Kaiyodo from Natural monuments of Japan. There is a chance I will have second one next month, then this one will go for trade
I don't think my Dutch collection is already the same number as my Polish one :) I think in Poland I left about 500 figures and here I have maybe 250-300. But it is growing much faster than before

Yes, I will do it. I think I will be able to do walk around this Sunday :) I will post it in Bandai section :)

Congratulations, Anna. Those Schleich birds are phenomenal.
Maybe one day some other big brand will make Osprey, Buzzard and Golden Eagle. We're stuck with the Bald Eagles because of the USA market.

Wonderful newcomers Anna - my favourite is the Kaiyodo Amami rabbit but also your others - wow (o)): (o)):

Can you tell me all the brands of your iguanas please

Thank You Andreas and Bojan

Andreas, these Iguanas are all from Bandai. Two of them are Marine Iguanas and one of them ("green" one) is Galapagos Land iguana :)

Thank You Bojan! Yes, I think Birds of Prey was probably best series ever produced by Schleich

About bald eagles I agree, brand should produce some European and Asiatic species for balance, I would say White Tailed sea Eagles and Golden Eagles would be great. And different species of birds of prey such as Short Toed Eagle, Spotted Eagle or even Kestrel :) (I know Kaiyodo already produced Kestrels female and male) Well, there is so much more fascinating birds

Thank you Anna

Anna I have just seen all your photos in this topic...and all of them are fantastic!!!! I especially love the first photo with the elephants!!!
It looks like a painting to me!!! I love it!!!
Congratulations for all the newly arrived animals !!! (o)): (o)): (o)): (o)):

Thank You Vasilis! I'm very happy to hear You like these photos

Wonderful additions Anna! And so many!

I love those Schleich birds of prey. I'm still missing the Vulture. (I'm missing both retired vultures actually, whichever one that is technically part of the series and the other one too: The Goose Vulture and the Whiteback Vulture. They are both great.) I'm glad Schleich released a third vulture for 2013, but I still want those old ones. (I need the old Peregrine Falcon as well.)

The Kaiyodo Amami Rabbit is wonderful! That Monument series is just fantastic.

And I absolutely love the Bandai reptiles and birds! Wow. The Galapogos Penguin is just awesome. Congratulations Anna!

Ana , your growing collection is really fantastic, very unique species all mixed together and the lovely way you picture them , really congratulations! How I would like to be able to use the camera the way you do! I love your collection and photos!!

Great additions! I especially love the eagle too, he is one of my favorites in my collection. Congrats.

Thank You so much friends for all the good words!!! I'm happy I can share with You joy of collecting
