updated Nov. 21 with a gemsbok

It have the head of an Arabian oryx and he flanks and legs of a Gemsbok. Somewhat chimaeric. But easily fixable with some paint.

According to Mojo on Facebook, the Coral Snake is specifically an Arizona Coral Snake (Micruroides euryxanthus)

Chris from Mojo has reached out on the STS forum to get advice on how to change the coloring. I gave him your thoughs and suggested changing either the legs or head, depending on what species they want it to be. My guess is they will change the legs to match their original intention of it being an Arabian oryx.

Oh, it's surprising that big companies care for details as reading forums and taking advice from just normal people like us! That's amazing!

I also would like to fix it as an Arabian oryx rather than a Gemsbok, since Schleich already have a very nice Gemsbok (that I bought) but few if any company made a realistic Arabian oryx.
So I would keep the head painting but change the body painting making the back and flanks completely white (no brownish shadow), the lateral black stripe much thinner (and not bold black) or even absent, and the legs completely black except a small white patch near the hooves.

Actually, the head needs some repainting too. It's Arabian oryx-like seen from above (the black patch in muzzle is isolated, not connected with the black patches of eyes like in Gemsbok), but not from side! It needs black on cheek to the throat, and also a black line running the edge under the neck until reach a black patch in breast that connect the black of the forelegs. Ah. and the horns should be darker, almost black.

updated 12/10 with their proposed color changes for the Arabian oryx. Sorry the image is blurry, I tried to slightly enlarge a thumbnail.

Wow! NOW it's an Arabian oryx! So great! I will add the figurine to my wishlist to buy

Updated 12/11 with a caribou calf

12/15 updated with adult reindeer to go with the aforementioned calf. It's OK, can't quite compete with CollectA's IMO
