SAFARI Ltd Wings of the world and other birds...

Thanks guys. The Safari Ltd is really the best in making birds, no doubt about it because of their more realistic plumage. I am still waiting for the arrivals of the other birds like the psittacines, Strigidae , the Brown Pelican, etc. Well, I have to settle for this Brown Pelican only because I don't think I can get a Schleich's counterpart. Anyway, I am very happy and contended with these lovely birds already. So, I don't need to aim for the moon anymore.

Seriously, I understand that the rarity of the SCHLEICH brown pelican can attract collectors... But IMHO the SAFARI one is far more realistic than his German fellow, even only speaking about the colors...

I am totally agree with you, man!

Again, congratulations, Ronald on your latest catch. Very nice figurines, especially that handsome Puffin.

Well, Christophe, I've been tasked to find a Schleich brown pelican for a fellow collector, so when you're ready to trade yours for a Safari brown pelican, I'll be ready and waiting for you.....

I'm ok to trade my SCHLEICH brown pelican against any SAFARI I still don't have Phil, especially the Safari's brown pelican

Well, well, well... Where is my Schleich brown bidule ???

Here ? No... There ? No... Oh yes, I remember now I don't have any brown pelican

But I like the SChleich model Phil, I just think the Safari model is more accurate.

I will accept any gift

Oh, I forget, the one who prefer the safari model is... my banker

Thanks Phil.

As for me, the Schleich Brown Pelican is a symbol of elegance and class but it's only like a wishful thinking for me to have it. So, I will just settle to the Safari Ltd's Brown Pelican, in which I also believe that (as what Christophe said) has more accuracy.

Great new additions. The peacock and puffin are great. I love the colors on the turkey, that is why I had to buy it. I haven't seen the peacock or puffin locally yet. I will have to keep an eye out for them. Thanks for the great pictures.

Thanks Amy. Seriously, the Peacock is astounding!

I just came back from the Philippines this week for a 10-day leave and I just received also these two magnificent birds from the Safari Ltd's Wings of the World: The Brown Pelican, which is already a retired figure now (I do hope the Brown Pelican won't join this figure from getting retired) and the Snowy Owl.

Here are the photos:

You are right Ron, the Wings of the World are really fine, I hope the brand will grow again next year.

I didn't know the brown pelican was retired So I will buy it soon

The snowy owl is also a very fine model.

snowy owl is by Kaiyodo for Zoorasia Seties - it take me three months to search for it.

For the "Wings of the world" is really produces very fine details of birds model and hope they can have more models coming out next year. For this year only one Atlantic Puffin being Introduced.

Better be hurry then. Even the TGF Toys have removed this Brown Pelican from their website already. I bought mine at the Puffins.com in US.

While the Budweiser is the King of Beers. For me the Safari Ltd is the King of birds.

Here are some of my latest Wings of the World Series additions that I received three weeks ago:
