Feline Toys

[KeU]

Hello all, just got my account started here.
I was planning on getting some big cat toys and was looking through the reviews here.
Just want to have some recommendations on the figures as not all of them have the reviews.
I am looking for accuracy and detail here.
I think that the Schleich cats have good proportions while PAPO's are excellent overall.
Not sure about Safari, Bullyland and the rest.
Thoughts?

My vote would go to Papo

This reminds me, we really need a cats thread in the animal groups section of the forum!

Yes, Papo is the big cat producer No.1!
I have the male Tiger, the female Lion, the Jaguar, the Cheetah and the Puma. All of these five are going well together (about 1:20) and are beautifully sculpted and painted (see pic).
Only problem for me is the male Lion, but I haven't found a single manufacturer who's making one that pleases me, I'm still waiting.

Cool, I know what I'm gonna get now.

They are really small aren't they? They look tiny in the images.
But it's cool they come with their own stands.

I don't collect mammals, but I remember liking Papo's and AAA's felines. Papo's kitties are very lifelike, but AAA's are great for their vintage feel and slight stylisation. I remember that AAA also made cubs for their lions and tigers.

You should seek out the Safari Vanishing Wild line- their sculpting is excellent. Sadly, they're discontinued and quite expensive

OHHHH... I finally know which lineup my Snow Leopard is from!!!! I got her (female Snow Leopard) as a gift years ago and have no idea that she is from the Vanishing Wild line. I've got to agree, their big cats look good, even though a little exaggerated.

Got my big cats. Decided on PAPO. Thank you everyone for their advice.
These guys are fantastic.
Just really really minor complains about my lion's dark color and that the jaguar turned out smaller than the leopard.
Hope they'll release a snow leopard figure soon.

[KeU]

Did you guys hear?? Snow Leopard from PAPO next year! And a new Lion as well.

[brontodocus]

Yes, I saw it! From what I saw I like the Snow Leopard a lot. The head may look a little small but that's also characteristic for the species.

[KeU]

Well, I guess it's due to its extra fluffy coat, making the body look bigger.
No PAPO Giganotosaurus for me next year but the Snow Leopard and Dilophosaurus more than make up for it.
