My name is Paige, I go by Saarlooswolfhound on related forums online. I have a Bachelor's degree that focused on zoological and anthropological sciences; I don't work in those fields professionally. I have been a collector for many years, but have had these plastic figures in my life since I was about three years old. Many of these figures were originally toys for me (I still retain them in my collection), in addition to adding new brands etc.  I recently launched my own website in 2022, and add new figures to my curation all the time. I have always been passionate about the animal world and its many diverse wonders. I am especially enthusiastic about the canine family; wolves are my specialty. I myself have two beloved domestic dogs, one a rescued American cocker spaniel and one Decker rat terrier. If I am not spending time with them, I am reading the latest scientific journal articles I can find or cataloging something new for my collection. At the last count, the collection was well over 5,000 pieces and is still growing! I often get asked what I will ever do with them, but honestly I can't imagine life without this excellent hobby.   https://thecuriouscompendium.wixsite.com/curiouscompendium
