What Abt the eagle ray? It's the most accurate one made so far from the photos alone

I am content with my eagle rays; doubt I'll replace Mojo or Safari

I would, one day, want a bighorn.

But I did notice the Muscovy Duck which I am excited for. Will look good with my mallard and mandarin.

@Gwangi - according to a source on STS, the red bull and calf will be Salers, to compliment the cow from a couple years ago

Oh, nice! Definitely getting the cow or bull, I didn't know they already made a Salers cow.

Yes they did one in 2019 I believe. I have it!!!

EDIT: It came out in 2019 but it was a re-release of a 2005 model.

If it's that old I expect the bull will be better and that's the one I'll aim for. From what I can tell it looks impressive.

the cow is very nice; I suspect the cleaned up the sculpt in addition to a repaint. If you get the bull, we can have back-to-back Blog reviews

I like the way you think!

I have updated the first post with some name updates; these are French-to-English translations, so some species have yet to be figured out. I put my thoughts in brackets

[JimoAi]

Love how the young Octopus is just an improvement over their old octopus, similar to Schleich's Giga case.

On the other hand, looks like the right whale is going to be a small figure judging by the green tag

Is the spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum as suggested or could it be Tegenaria domestica? This is what comes up when I search the German name and this is also the domestic house spider in Europe.

Yeah might have to wait until one of us gets it in-hand; if it's anything like their wolf spider it should have accurate eyes

Either way, it's nice to get another spider, hopefully an accurate one.

the child in me would've loved that zany looking concavenator   

[bmathison1972]

I updated the first post with nice, high-res pics of all of the new animals (except the horses)

[NSD Bashe]

Hey, those are pretty nice
