Susanne's additions for 2014

Sweet additions, Susanne! That bobtail is indeed handsome - nice to see one done with a long enough back for once. The Sphynx is delicious as well. I find it a very nifty model. The Safari seahorse I may have a fairly good China copy of here - I wonder if you'd like to have it to go along with the real thing? I have no use for it and would be happy to send it to you.

Roan Antelopes are closely related to Sable Antelopes, so here they are with the Safari Sable for size comparison :

Thankyou to Beatrice for finding the auction on Ebay   

Some wonderful, old Safari dinos :

The Therizinosaurus is from the series "Dinosaurs of China", and was made already in 1993 !
Isn't this a fabulous model ?

She is still being made, but in a different painting

Ups ! I should have shown some size-comparisons of oryxes.   

It is late, you will have to get some tomorrrow    

Susanne, huge congrats on the GEMSBOK!!!! Where did you find it new with tag?

WOW!!    Congrats on the VW gemsbok!

Noah's Pals Roan antelopes !!     . I love these figures
Big congratulations Susanne !! 

Roan antelopes are nicer than I thought and better then what I am used with Noah's, surprising figures indeed! :DEven size is very interesting, I know Noah's are in 1:24 scale and they take it seriously and, although I know roans are large antelopes, I wasn't expecting it in nice size with the sable. :)
Also many other excelent additions, not only because they're great figures but also because some of them are really hard to find as it is this monumental oryx. :) Congratulations to you and great from Sue that is helping you.

Roger - I sort of like the painting of the bonobo. It may look more glossy in a close-up than in real

Oh great! Actually I was not judging from your picture, I knew it here from those Atosa versions and it was quite glossy. I am glad this version is not. :)

   CONGRATS ON YOUR FANTASTIC NEW RARE GEMS! Really, I'm so happy for you Susanne and they look wonderful. Big congrats.    

Huge congratulations again Susanne! Yes, so many very rare newcomers!

Congratulations on the wonderful additions Susanne! Great to see them

Wonderful new adds Susanne    Congratulation   

I have a feeling, that the Gemsbok is quite a VIP   Gorgeous model, and I like its eyes and expression   
Not being very familiar with the Noah's Pals series, but I really like the cencept   

Wow! Susanne, that´s a great catch! But where have you found it ?        

Thankyou all, for you kind comments   

Paige, you are always so wonderfully empatic      
Roger : Yes, those roans were really a pleasant surprise    

Lance and Yvette : I got them on Ebay.com 

Wow, that's amazing you managed to get the oryx brand new! The roan antelopes are lovely, congratulations Susanne

Wonderful new figures; as always! congratulations, can't wait to
see some more!

Thankyou, Hariet and Paige

THE GEMSBOK is really beautiful!

New oldies from Lennart   

A while ago he sent me this lovely crocodile from the mysterious, almost unknown Swedish brand, Berico , as a gift

And this week : a wonderful heard of Scandinavian cattle   
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Some real rarities, - cow and calf, also from Berico   
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And a family of Danish Reislers from the 50's
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I have more or less been looking for the bull in this colour for 60 years   
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

But the mighty mystery is the grazing, red/white cow !
The model and the material is from the 50's, - the mould is from 1953.
But red/white models were first made in 1964 , and never a grazing model  
Here she is flanked byt the red/white cows in a softer material and another style.
She does not have an item number that I can find, - and she does not look like a repaint.  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I have mailed to some experienced Reisler collectors, and they are trying if they can solve the riddle  

Congratulations once again! I'm glad you could find some more Reislers you didn't have yet, especially the bull in that color! :flowers: I hope the other Reisler experts can solve the riddle for you!

Congratulations Susanne, nice additions!!

Oh dear, I have another of this bull and the cow, maybe they all ended up in Sweden....
