Amasing figures, Lea! Not getting much atention among all of these little and wonderful pieces but horse is also beautiful!

Wow, wonderful additions Lea! I love that Shiba especially. It is gorgeous.

What is the small croc near the Papo oviraptor?

Such diversity   Love the group photo! Looks like two groups in a brawl, with the blue and green screaming mini dinos as leaders   

It does, doesn't it? I see it too now. I'm afraid the tiny tyrant dinos probably aren't the kind and gentle leader type, either..

That one is the imaginary Foetodon from the Peter Jackson version of the film King Kong. Here is another shot of him:

The figurine is a smaller version of the collapsible Foetodon by Playmate. It was sold here around the film's release in the local arts-and-crafts/knick knacks store chain Tiimari (currently going under, to my dismay - they'd often carry obscure China animals and interesting polyresin statuettes, so I'm saddened to see them go).

[Edit.: Oh, I didn't remember I'd already posted the individual picture of that Foetodon. Oh well, can't harm to have it here again to supplement the brief info bit, I guess.]

Nice   

I've had the good fortune of having been able to arrange some splendid trades recently, so despite my scrimping and saving for the new CollectA and Papo releases, I've had some marvellous parcels arrive in the mail. (Thank you Taos and Sortepletter; UK of DDF; and Trista from Figuurifoorumi!) Here are some figurines from the past few weeks:

Congrats Lea!  And I'm liking the C A blood hound, you couldn't share some more pics of him?

Thank you, Harriet! Here are some additional shots of the bloodhound for you:

Here she is with the Basset hound of the same series - quite obviously not to scale:

I'm not familiar with the brand of the Bloodhound, but it looks like a magnificant sculpt   

Congratulations! That bloodhound is great.

The Bloodhound is lovely and also really like the Hesperornis form Primeval.   

Wonderful additions! Congrats.   

I like the Bloodhound and the Basset hound too! Have to look out for this brand!   

Great new animals, congrats

     Why haven't I ever seen that film ?      

Very phantastic additions again Lea, especially the dog       

Great new finds Lea! I think the Bassett Hound and Blood Hound are both fabulous! I also really like the Hesperornis, the Hatzegopteryx, and the Troodon! They are all great!

Congrats Lea, you have some nice figures, the troodon from WALKING WITH DINOSAURS 3D and the herperornis from Primeval. They're great   

Congratulations! They're both amazing dogs! Very very nice sculpting and good paint job  

Thank you Lea! That's great.

Thank you, all, for looking and commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed the bloodhound and hesperornis in particular - both look so decidedly grumpy to me they could probably do with the extra cheer.

Country Artists are a British film specialising in English countryside themed polyresin statuettes, home decor and other knick-knacks. They carry a multitude of different lines, of which the Best in Show series these hounds are part of is but one. The dogs in that series were sculpted by a chap called Paul Szeiler, and come hand-painted in oils. (My bloodhound even had some severed bristles from a paint brush stuck in its paint under its wrinkly chin!)

Do - I quite recommend them! The Best in Show series is in my opinion Country Artists' best mammalian line, sculpting-wise. Also, hello to a new member from a similarly newish one! I remember seeing and admiring your meticulous work on model horse tack on Fallen Leaves a long, long time ago, and by the looks of your avatar picture, you've only improved since then.
