Happy Hen Toys - Buying Guides

[NSD Bashe]

I have the CollectA one

[BlueKrono]

These are great comparisons.

I got the Schleich one. I like it, but wished it were larger. This photos alone would've helped a lot back when I got it.

I got Papo for my red squirrel representative. And I am quite pleased with that purchase

[Gwangi]

I have CollectA's, which I reviewed, but will also get Safari's since it is a different species.

[bmathison1972]

I have CollectA's red squirrel and Safari's eastern grey squirrel.

I might have gotten Papo's red squirrel if it has come out before I bought CollectA's but I see no need to replace CollectA's!

I'm not overly thrilled by any of these beavers and so I don't have one in my collection yet, despite it being a favorite animal of mine. Schleich's, Papo's, and CollectA's all look awkward and misshapen, especially Papo's. I like Safari's well enough, but it's a bit too cute and toy-like. I actually think Mojo's succeeds best with posture and proportions. Great write-up!

I notice that done of them appear to have the orange layer of enamel over their teeth. An easy fix, I suppose.

I have the CollectA beaver tho considered maybe the Schleich one because the CollectA is a bit chonky.

I wasn't crazy about any of them either. I have Safari to represent the North American beaver and Mojo for the Eurasian beaver

Previously we posted the pictures for the Toy Giraffe Calf Figures

We could not get all the giraffes on one pic so there are extra pics this time.






Hopefully this helps.

It's good to point out here that Mojo 381008 was specifically marketed as a Masai giraffe. I have that one and Papo for a reticulated/northern giraffe

[Gwangi]

Awesome, I still need a giraffe for my collection. This will be helpful.

[Isidro]

I never told a word in this thread but I wanted to give a big thanks to Happy Hen Toys for these extremely useful comparison guides. They're a wonderful tool for synoptic collectors like me, for choose the best representative of each species.

My giraffe is the CollectA one, undoubtely the best one with difference. It have the best proportions: thinner legs, smaller head, a very natural neck position, together with a very accurate  paintjob and sculpt, and it's the only one walking (rear hoof raised). I only wish it was bigger but there is shortage of bigger scale models of giraffes in the trade, in every brand. If CollectA did a bigger giraffe in scale with most of their antelopes, 1:18 to 1:20 it would be awesome.

[EpicRaptorMan]

Good giraffes. I like the Papo with the outstretched tongue. I have an old Schleich one, not shown here, for my reticulated giraffe. And then the Mojo 381008 for my Masai representative.

When do you guys expect to get the Goblin shark and pink river dolphin from CollectA, @HappyHen ?

The USA distributor for CollectA is not offering those 2 figures directly in the USA. HOWEVER, Happy Hen Toys is able to order them directly from the factory and they are already on order - we just need to wait for them to ship them to us (they come by ship - thus the delay).  They have split our order into 2 parts, part 1 is scheduled to arrive mid-May, part 2 is scheduled to arrive end of Q3 / beginning of Q4.  Unfortunately, they have not indicated what specific items are in part 1 and/or part 2.  Anyone on our email list will be notified when they arrive.  Let me know if any other questions. 

p.s.  I added your note about the Mojo Giraffe to our website.

there's also the Safari ltd Monterey bay aquarium one that's still in production

[HappyHen]

JimoAi You are correct.  We will get this added when we get a chance!  Thanks for pointing this out.
