Also, is the title of this thread not erroneous? I thought hippos were related to cetaceans, not horses...
Unfortunately, my near attempt of acquiring the Colorata pygmy hippo ended in disaster I won and lost it... seller lost the figure and refunded me
There are some other very good Hippo figures besides the Papo version! The Lineol, Mojö and Britains figures look phantastic, too! And of course the big Wildlife Wonders Hippo.Quote from: OkapiBoy on February 16, 2013, 01:52:15 AMUnfortunately, my near attempt of acquiring the Colorata pygmy hippo ended in disaster I won and lost it... seller lost the figure and refunded me Oh, dear, sorry for that... I had to wait quite long for mine but eventually received it. Here it is:It's a very tiny figure, only 45 mm long and 20 mm high at the shoulder, so the scale is between approx. 1:33 and 1:39.
