It is with great pleasure that I now have a black swan figure!  It's the Science & Nature version.  I've removed the base from it, now finally I have a black swan figure!

@NSD Bashe what an absolutely beautiful (and deadly) orb of a fish that is. Congrats on finding it!

[NSD Bashe]

thanks

I've acquired and removed the bases from:

1. Bullyland peacock.  I was surprised by how soft its plastic is!  But it's a great figure, the best peacock figure in my opinion.  I'm happy to have a figure of this iconic animal!

2. Papo pheasant.  As soon as I saw this figure in person I was filled with happiness!  It's such a wonderful figure!  Papo didn't need to make it as good as it is, but they did anyway!

3. Safari king vulture.  This figure is made from very hard plastic, so it was a challenge to remove the base from it.  I persevered though and succeeded.  This figure looks very realistic!  It's satisfying!

4. Papo mandarin duck.  I'm happy with this figure!


I've also acquired the Schleich adult greylag goose pair, but they don't look enough like the real animal for me, so I'm putting them for sale.

I also would like to add that I mostly like Mojo's geese, but they are modelled after domestic geese as can be seen from how the body extends past the legs.  I find domestic geese that are distorted so much unpleasant, so I will not be getting Mojo's geese.

Where's the finished product?

I can't take photos of my collection at the moment, if I do in the future they will include my customised figures of course.

Recently found a grail I've been searching for for a long time. Safari Smithsonian Insects Luna Moth.

In pretty great shape considering its age, and for a pretty reasonable price. Really thrilled to finally have this in my collection so wanted to share.

[Saarlooswolfhound]

Congrats everyone!

@Shane, that luna moth is truly special- congratulations!

[sphyrna18]

That is a great figure @Shane!  It took me a while to find that one, as well, but it is well worth it!  The Lubber Grasshopper and Leaf Insect are two of my absolute favorites from the Smithsonian Collection along with the Luna Moth.  Isn't it about time Safari releases updated figures for these 3 insects???

Eldrador is usually too weird for me, but how could I not get this?



It's even physically not bad!

Been a good week for hyenas! My Colorata hyena and dhole arrived from Japan!

I got a new Diormansion. This one is called 'Quarry' and it will be good for critters that live in mountainous habitats.

Also, I didn't realize this when I got it, it is a Dioramansion 200, so it's 20 cm square. My others are Dioramansion 150, which are 16 cm square. So, it's larger which means I can use it for slightly larger figures. I wish I could replace some of my older 150 dioramas with 200 versions, but it looks like a given style is in a single size.
