Safari surely is saving on paintwork this year
Perhaps they are doing to preserve the environment from paint-fumes ?
Or perhaps they are doing it to save money

I love first two photos one after another Lovely comparison Susanne and congratulations for Your newcomers and new "colour variants"

I think that they are very beautiful. Congratulations Susanne on your wonderful variations!
One thing about the wolf though. I have seen black wolves before, but they are never pure black, they are usually streaked with gray.

Thankyou, friends

You are right !
The fox also, and they have a white tip on the tail
See *here*

I think these black versions are not definitively illuminated ideas. Though, as a foxes collector, I'll buy the black fox.
Enlightening is your wonderful presentation of these black versions. Great work and thanks!

Crogerbert ! You are full of surprises

Jajaja magnificient surprise Roger!

Good variations, i think the fox and the wolf i will add in my zoo

Oooh, Percheron looks niice Funny thing with that all going Gothic, I thought that trend was outdated

How big is he compared with a Schleich?

Nice figures Susanne! The black wolf and fox look like they are ready for a Halloween display! I'll have to grab them once the local stores get off their bum and start ordering the new figures!

Thank you very much for informative photo, Susanne
It seems he fits the general Schleich fairly well. Despite the look of a bad paintjob, I think the sculpt looks very good! Good proportions, muscles and a kind face. What's your view on him?

....and always nice to see that scandalous lady She looks very odd, as a horse, beside Safari Percheron

Thankyou, Carola

I just LOVE that parcheron ! We don`t see that breed very often, but Papo also made a very nice one
Here in to variations, and with a foal . Very nice, even if foals do not have that colour

Yes, I've had a crush on that Papo too. I love the power of that breed. Schleich one is very neat too, and is my favorite in the collection. Thank you for showing the Safari one, I didn't know of it before yesterday

I dream of CollectA making a super heavy dapple grey Percheron! Please Deborah

Ha! That's funny!?
Congratulations Susanne, great additions to add to your variations collection I've always quite liked that Percheron, it's a nice figurine.

Graet new additions-loving the black Percheron!!!must get must get!! :) :) :)

I love the black wolf. Even though I own the previous version, I think I will get the black version someday.

But the fox..... It would have been fantastic if it was a silver fox colouring, combining all different shades of gray. But now it looks like a bad repaint to me.. Cute model though :)

Me too :) They look like there is some kind of problem with chimney
I love that percheron... now i want black one too

Love the black Percheron!

Variations? (o)): I like them!
But why so black? too much coal in stock?
perhaps they have fallen into the bucket

Nice comparison shots, Susanne! I already own the red fox and the black wolf. I'm thinking of purchasing the black fox too! Ernest Thompson Seton wrote a novel entitled "Biography of a Silver Fox", and Betsy Byers wrote "The Midnight Fox" about a boy seeing a black fox one summer. I'm thinking I need the Safari "Midnight Fox!"

"Midnight fox", - that is wonderful

Congrats Susanne

Seem they haven't used all their black material yet
