The paintjob is also worse than expected, nice candidate for a repainting session (what about Joan?).

Do you want a repaint of that

Yes! Do one for me!

I'm so pleased to finally see photos of the grizzly! I've been looking forward to him!

PeGe: I agree with you on the paint job. It's a little disappointing. But overall, I still like it.

Also, I like the rhinos! They look very nice, too!

Papo created the Grizzly and Schleich should paint it!

I agree the Schleich one looks a little like a teddy bear, but then again, I don't think it is supposed to be an adult, more like a two or three year old. I like the Papo bear, only thing is his arms are a little far from his body, which I think is making the "yeti-affect". Only other thing is I wouldn't have made his neck ruff so big, but I don't think it makes it a bad figure.

That is what I was thinking, the arms just aren't quite right. I also think that the sculpt would have looked a little better if the snout was a little slimmer, as shown below in the picture. The only bears that I have ever seen with heads like that are tame ones that live in a zoo and get huge and fat. It is still a wonderful model though.

Have you maybe a comparison photo with the gibbon? I love this figure, but I fear that the figure is too big :S

I hope this helps: with the 2013 Schleich Male Chimpanzee and 2013 CollectA American Staffordshire Terrier.

Oh yes, - in my view are Papo animals this year bigger as in the last years

Thabks for your picture, this figures are very big

Very cool! The gibbon is sized perfectly (I think). I like the Grizzly a lot too. Papo always runs a little big. I'm used to it. (Although it did bother me when I first started collecting; I'll admit it.)

You already have the CollectA 2013 terrier, Bojan. (o)):
Can you post some pics of it? Thanks.

Sure, Donny check here: https://sts-forum.forumieren.de/t9316-2013-american-staffordshire-terrier

Great and useful comparison picture, Bojan! It looks Papo animals will atack your camera. I am glad bear is large once bears are not small in real life.

Yes thanks this picture is very useful I thought that the Gibbon would be too big, but it seems that it will join my collection

The rhinos are great!

Attention Schleich, Papo is getting closer to become my favourite brand.

Thanks my friends :)

my latest acquisition  :

I think the Gharial looks very good and many thanks PeGe for the Baby Gharial

Oh, such a familiar vision, I like mirror games! :allien:
The figure as a lot of movement, not sure it looks very natural but I like it and want one for my collection! Congratulations Ralf and thanks for sharing!

Ah! So cool. I love it. Congratulations Ralf! Thanks for posting these pictures.

WOW WOW WOW WOW BIG CHANCE. It is on my list and it is really amazing. Congrats.

Congrats! This Gharial is beautiful!!

Congratulations again Ralf!!

Wow!
Great one. I'm not sure about the pose of the hindlegs and the crippled-looking claws, but i like the details. Where could you buy all those great figurines yet?
