Saarlooswolfhounds New Additions! 11/20 Thankful for great forum friends!

I love the Prior line. So many great freshwater fish.

Just don't trust the given names from the company, they're mostly insane. But the fish can usually be identified eventually.

I am really impressed with the Prior fish- would like to find more of them. These are partly what I was talking about a while backn in IDing some species as I have a general idea of what type of fish but no idea on species directly.

The COG Ltd. are my first from the company. Of course I do love dinosaurs- but I REALLY love anything earlier or immediately after as they get less attention. Cambrian stuff is super weird to boot! I just think they are fun to have in a collection.

But for me the stars are the canines of the bunch. The dingo I have been looking for for a looooooooong time! And the Preiser is really attractive- in fact a lot of the vintage era wolves are attractive to me as they have something about them that catches that "wolfiness" more than many modern day examples. I plan on adding lots more "oldies but goodies" canines to my shelves.

I can try to help with the Prior. Many years back there was a thread on the STS. There were links, but the vast majority of the IDs from the company were wrong.

I managed to get most of them to at least family... some are wild colours that match nothing

EDIT- there's a few listed here https://www.mokarex.fr/priorfish.html#

But again, weird names in many cases (none moreso than the 'Balentio', which is supposed to be a bala shark.

I have two batches to present, but broken up into a few pics.

First up are things I found/bought on my own searches. To start, I have two new horses courtesy of HHT and I will be reviewing soon. I found 2 stablemates from the Tractor Supply's latest blind bags. I took a gamble on some dog figures made by a brand called Pedigree- at one time they made dog food and treats etc. and apparently made a few show dog figures. I did not expect them to be so big! They aren't the most skillfully sculpted, but I like them a lot anyway and have admired the cocker spaniel for years. I won a cheap auction for the TM moutain goat, grabbed the gray cane corso to pair with my black one, bought some mystery pigs, and found some K&M and knock off figures at a thrift store.


And now for the real treat! I am absolutely privileged and thankful for my dear friends and relationships I have cultivated in the forum communities I am a part of. It has not only lead to a richer community experience here for me but also has benefited my curation. All the way from Bulgaria, I got some treasures!

Several Nayab mini models- some completed sets for me like the macaque, others were sought after for some time such as the maned wolf, some are brand new treasures like the antelope and goat/sheep set, and the remainder will likely become repaint projects for myself.


I snapped up a few Nayab larger figures, a few AAA frogs, some Kaiyodo Ural owl chicks too cute to be believed, the mysterious little plastic quail I have seen around a few times, and the highly sought after Kaiyodo NT wolf! And even better- it was so reasonably priced it didn't bankrupt me!


Eikoh has been a brand a little on the backburner for me... I have obtained a scant few (like... 3?) over the years but unfortunately they just weren't too easily available to me. I feel fortunate to have snagged several that I really just love!

And perhaps most excitingly, my dear friend was so kind as to include a completely shocking gift- a full set of the WingMau "Dangerous Dogs" set! A rottweiler, American Pitbull Terrier, Neapolitan Mastiff, Dogo Argentino, Caucasian Shepherd/Ovcharka, Tibetan Mastiff, Tosa Inu, and Fila Brasileiro! At this scale they are really well done and I am so eternally in adoration of these tiny figurine treasures!


ENORMOUS THANKYOU to my dear friend Maria over on STS Forum for this splendid package! It came at the perfect time when I could use some cheer- poor Flynn, my 16 year old rescued cocker spaniel suddenly began having seizures two weeks ago. They have been frightening and very alarming to try and deal with, luckily they have not yet crossed into the dangerous territory where they last so long they cause neurological damage. Its been a bit expensive and taxing trying to care for him and figure out what can be done. Luckily just tonight he started a new daily medication that will hopefully reduce the frequency of these events and allow him to stay with me a bit longer. So this parcel was just what I needed to bring a little joy back to me after some long and hard days!

That Wing Mau set is neat. Wing Mau produced some really interesting sets under their own name! I love these small sets of Japanese miniatures!
