Susanne, I'm sure Papo will turn largely collected and that the retired figures, even not very good, will turn in rare and valuable itens. They are part of the history of the brand. But what really gives me joy is a figure like the Safari rhino and not there value for others. I'm sure as soon as I can find the Mojo white rhino I will find someone that will love my Papo white rhino as a plastic toy it is and not as a piece of gold. Exactly as is happening with the very rare and valuable fox you sent to me! :)

Congrats Roger!
I have that Indian rhino and it's really a great figure!
I like the red panda, but perhaps I'll wait to see the CollectA one first...

Thanks Gab! :) I already saw the CollectA one as a sample of a shop. Of course it was not possible to judge in terms of details and markings but I felt not very tempted . The size is nice, that's much smaller than the Safari one but I doubt it is better.
You have also the AAA that you can see

Susanne, you know I always check some pictures before commenting. I am not lucky enough to see a real one anytime I make a comment.
Anyway they are cute indeed and thanks for helping me to see it!

Kristie is helping me to build a little farm with some Breyer Stable Mate to join to the few Britains farm figures I own!
This time, to please me with a wonderful Lusitano, the Portuguese horse, joined a lot of figures and sent a beautiful package to Portugal!
The Lusitano was in an exciting Stable Mate Mistery foal set! It is a spectacular figure!!!

I also received these 2 Breyer SM figures! A Warmblood absolutly beautiful and a crazy scratching foal!

Again Breyer shows that a figure don't need to be big to be great!
Also some Safaris were in the package! Yes, Kristie loves to send Safaris to Portugal!
First 2 very nice donkeys!

... and a little hippo! Receiving hippos from Kristie should be like receive crocodiles from me! :)
Kristie already knows that that's not my favourite baby hippo of the market! The little Prince is indeed the Papo one! But it doesn't mean that I cannot give a good life and family to this one.

The picture is very dark but you can see that they make a wonderful family! Funny that the boy is already behaving like his father!

Kristie, thanks again for another great package from Virginia!
By the way, don't you think I need a heavy horse???

Congrats Roger!!!

Congratulation for all your newcomers Roger, it is a very good batch.

At least you have the mighty SAFARI Ltd Indian rhino, with your BRITAINS you own now the cream of the rhino replica

I'm very happy you like the STARLUX fox, even if I sold mine a few years ago, I still think it is an exquisite model

This is really a magical morning

Overnight several bushes have turned green , and Roger has got a collection of HORSES

That Lusitano is a small miracle in itself, - and the FOALS

Of course I LOVE those donkeys, and your hippo family is just the most wonderful ! They are a true, " brandernational" STS-family, I LOVE them

Congratulations, Roger
Hurrayy for Kristie

Nice to see collectors helping each other out. Good one Kristie.

The scratching foal figure has clearly been inspired by the Britains/Herald scratching foal. This is the hardest to find Herald farm animal being available just for a few years.

I found out recently that Breyer was Britains distributer in the USA during the 1970's.

A great selection here Roger.

Chris

Congrats Roger

Even I have one Mystery foal set in wish list on MPV

Congratulations Roger!!! I love your hippo family- she is a really STS family with wonderful different members from all over the world!!

If i see your new Breyer horses i remember me on the Bella Sara Serie horses from my daugther:

I really really love the Safari Indian Rhino! I think it's definitely one of Safari's nicest figures!
Since Safari makes some of the same figures in different sizes, I strongly feel that a Wildlife Wonders Indian Rhino would be a lovely addition to that series!!!!

Thanks Christophe and Balty!
Christophe, the Indian rhinos from Safari and Britains are really very good! I love crazy foxes! I know you have the Starlux fennec, that's great!
Balty, I'm sure that soon or later Safari will introduce an Indian rhino in their WW series. But, as I don't collect them, I'm glad with the size of mine. It is roughly the same size as Papo African rhinos. So, all of them are very large compared with my Britains but in good size with large fauna from modern brands! :)

Thanks Ken :) , Susanne , Chris , Robert and Andreas
Susanne, I only collect animals from different species, modern and vintage brands, a little 1:32 farm, some prehistoric mammals, all foxes and several exceptions!
Chris, interesting points about Britains and Breyer connections, thanks for telling! :)
Andreas, thanks for the picture of the foals of your Princess. They are really cute! That's incredible but I received 4 foals in a package!

I love that rhino also, and I am very grateful to Roger that he pointed it out to me, - we got the last two in the net-shop

And I agree with Roger, - the WW are SO large .
Of course some are so lovely that it doesn`t matter, but I perfer the smaller ones

Haha! Oh yes Roger, I forgot that you don't collect babies!

-Kristie

I must be though, I will not collect Stablemates, I will not collect Stablemates, I will not collect Stablemates...
Wait a minute, this sounds very familiar...

Those donkeys are wonderful, they are high on my wishlist
