Susanne's additions for 2014

Yvette did it again, yay!    
Very interesting new animals, my eye catches the ostrich, such a handsome model!
And you got the Peregrine Falcon!     

Lovely additions, especially the Hare from LeeAnn. Pretty impressive model, I think   

Wonderful additions Susanne! I love the ostrich chicks and falcon.

Great additions Susanne! I really love those CollectA ostriches. I had considered getting a second copy of the adult as a toy for my son, but discovered that the adults has become a bit difficult to find, at least in the US. (By 'difficult' I just mean inconvenient -- e.g. not as easy to find online as, say, the schleich adult ostrich. But who knows, perhaps they are slowly disappearing…if so, I'm glad you picked one up.)

I question on rather or not that Giraffe is really retired. Because The type of tag it has did not appear until last year. Before then, the tags were stuck on the ankle of the figures.

I like the details in the ostrich's feathers, they look very real

It could be that most of the U.S. reatailers are out of stock and it seems like it takes a few weeks for the importer to get them back in stock to ship to the stores    If you email TGF Toys they should be able to tell you when they're going to get another CollectA shipment but what they can't tell you is if a certain figure you're looking for is in that shipment.

Congratulations Susanne, great new additions!

These beautiful ostriches should be in all colleccions.

Are splendid. congratulations    

Again Roger has sent me a fantastic , HUGE parcel

In Roger's parcel there was a incridibly wonderful surprise   

The very rare set from the Spanish bran Miniland, showing people with handicaps. Fantastic models, showing children that people with handicaps are also part of everyday life

Complete with the box

This set is very precious to me for many reasons, one of them being the fact that it shows that toys are also educational.
They are heart-warming, and I am sure they are a piece of history, as modern technology fast makes the aids much more easy to use, and natural looking

and there is more....  

Roger also sent me two more of the CollectA models, I have been wishing for a long time : The Mountain goat and the newer stag

Thankyou, Roger ! Again you added completely new and wonderful models to my collection    

Nice additions again Susanne, especially from Portugal:) Congratulations,  sometimes we have the same newcomers

Wow, wow, wow! Amazing package from Roger indeed Hurray for Crazy Crocodile and congratulations for you Susanne!!!

Watching this topic I can feel the happy spirit of this forum, how amazing!

These Dinamização animals are really beautiful!

What a great parcel - The Dinamização models have a lot of character. Very, very nice! 

Now you have in Denmark "Christmas in the summer"      because of the most friendly croc of the world!

WOW! What a fantastic box! The figures just keep coming, don't they? Congratulations!

That's a pleasure seeing these figures being so well presented!
I was right when I decided to send these Miniland human figures to you, you interprete them exactly as I do. Also, as they are in 1:13,5 scale, they work very nice to show with animal figures of the same scale.
Excelent also the way you present my Portuguese unpainted friends! Let's see if we can complete the collection.
I also want to thank the good words of everyone but I also have some Danish surprises to show!

   

Great adds, great pics, great friends   

You must be soo happy! Great croc we have, the worlds friendliest croc
Those Portugal animals are so charming, I like how they are not painted and you can see their mold/pose to good.

Ooh, that stag. What a stunning fella! And all those Billies in a row  

very beautiful new figures Susanne! i love them!   

Thankyou, friends

The humans are actually pretty cute, and with some lively expressions   

And the CollectA mountain herd is just awesome   CollectA is just great
