Musteloidea - Weasels and allies

Walk-around of the American badger by Safari Ltd (Wild Safari North American Wildlife). What a floppy-looking creature!

Not my favourite red panda. My favourite would probably go to Papo.

My dream would be to get all the Yowies figures that I want. Sadly this probably won't become a reality.

The dream of everybody in this forum is get all the any-brand figures that they want

I was surprised to see that this one is not featured here yet, the Safari long-tailed weasel (Neogale frenata). I recently reviewed this figure on the blog and it's also now retired.





I thought this would be a neat comparison photo. You don't usually see toys compared to the real deal.



Might as well also share Schleich's new otter.





And the Safari European TOOB badger.

2. Japanese river otter (Kaiyodo - Capsule Q Museum collection)
3. giant river otter (Yowie Group - Wild Water Series)
4. Asian small-clawed otter (Kaiyodo - Wild Rush 04)
5. Eurasian river otter (Papo)

I was going to wait a bit longer to buy the Everglades TOOB but your pictures are tempting me to get it sooner.

Thanks! Did four tonight. I'll do the birds tomorrow. The birds are the weakest I think (paint is particularly sloppy on them, compared to the reptiles, fish, and otter).
