Naturalism owls

I saw there was a thread for another one of Naturalism's series, so here's one for the owl series starting with a question from me.

I've been searching to find images of the figures from this series, but I haven't been able to find them anywhere except for a forum where you need to register to see the images.  Not even Toy Animal Wiki has photos of these figures.  Can anyone provide photos of these figures?

If you can provide images of the Naturalism owl figures or somewhere where they can be bought, I would be happy to send you a Toymany penguin set for free!

There was a link in the Safari Ltd thread during the discussion of the Great Grey Owl, but it looks like the listing is no longer there when you click the link.

You can see at least the Great Grey here: https://animaltoyforum.com/index.php?topic=3124.msg36311#msg36311

All the owls, if I remember correctly, have a similar "head-tilt" cutesy pose.

Thanks very much @Shane!  I was quite surprised by the long discussion of the Safari great grey owl in that thread, I read through all of it and to me the Safari figure looks very good and I intend to get it.  In that discussion I found a link to where all the Naturalism owls can be seen: https://www.yoybuy.com/p/iChaGXkBx8KbCfwodtxh.html

I wish the Naturalism owls had a more neutral head posture...  The only one out of all of them that I might be interested in is the grass owl.

I'm very happy to have seen them though!  If you PM me your name and address I'll send you the set of Toymany penguins that was recently discussed in the Toymany thread.

The Naturalism line has been of interest to me for a while, but I've had similar difficulty finding solid information about the line, much less viable sale listings (I'll have to consider that yoybuy link sometime, maybe). Thankfully, the owls seem slightly easier to locate than the eagles, and I did some reverse image searching using this AliExpress listing to find some more high(ish)-quality official photos to record for posterity.

It's tricky to get "clean"-cut images; I suspect all of these pictures were directly ripped from the original website of the brand line, or whomever else originally sold them.

Thanks for that @Fembrogon!  For the eagle series there's a gallery of them on Toy Animal Wiki, and @Saarlooswolfhound showed me they are available on ebay.  I also found them on Aliexpress.

@Fembrogon, how do you enter a search query on aliexpress in order to get what you are looking for? maybe there is some secret? for example, if I enter the query "naturalism owls", I will receive a couple of paid advertisements with plastic multi-colored owls, but the product I'm looking for will not be displayed.

Honestly I don't remember how exactly I found that one listing. That's the problem with this set: it's rarely listed under consistent labels.
Honestly I would recommend just bookmarking the above listing (while it works, at least) and watching the "similar products" on the page for any additional listings on other shops. Alternatively, do a reverse image search with the pics above and see what links Google can find.
