Miniature Animal Figure Collection

Is that a custom made Dingiso with the Cassowary?My newest haul, gift for Epiphany
1. Safari LTD Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis). I has been hesitating between this model and the Schleich one for the Indian rhino.
2. CollectA's Sable antelope (Hippotragus niger) male.
It only needed to be a bit retouched for making it better:
3. Safari LTD's Atlantic White-sided Dolphin (Lagenorhynchus acutus).
4. Papo's Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo). Many of you acquired this figure new for 2020, so it don't need much a presentation.
5. And finally I left for the end my most favourite figure of the batch: the unbeatable Safari LTD's Double-wattled Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius).

As you can see, my collecton give the term "Overcrowded" a new meaning, haha. And I still need more and more and more despite having no space for one single figure more
@Ituri yes it is, I put my New Guinean animals together for the photo
Very nice! How many total figures are you up to now?

290
Wow, you and I are almost tied! I have 282, but hopefully by the end of the week a box should arrive and bring me up to 292!
I should note however I'm excluding my homemade ones from that number as a few of them are experiencing structural issues and I'm not real happy with some of them the longer I look at them. If they're included that's another 36 which would bring my total up to 328.
(I have largely figured out my mistakes on the figures though, and am contemplating getting some more clay and trying again.)

Judging by this thread I’ll assume that I’m not a total freak, as I have a decent sized collection (creating a dust collection of their own) in my living room.
Nope, otherwise too many people in this thread would be freaks. Which we are not.
New additions received or acquired over the holiday season. Also a note to say that Southlands Replicas is shutting down so if you’d ever wanted some of those figurines now is the final chance to get some of their models directly [Southlands Replicas | Australia | Free Shipping Available]. However, they have been working with Mojo and a handful of their models are now 2022 releases (Perentie notably)

I just learned of this a little bit ago, l just picked up the gray Kangaroo a couple days ago via an order from them. I really want their Red Kangaroo but both times I've ordered from Minizoo they weren't available...
Maybe Mojo will bring that model back so I can snag it, I'll have to pick up the Perentie that way.

Nice new haul! Southlands already shutted down completely last year, it started doing long ago. That's why I hurried up near end of 2020 buying the remaning Southland figures I wanted on Minizoo before they turn impossible to find. A much discussed surprise for 2022 is the fact Mojo is saving at least some models of the brand - the perentie, Tasmanian devil and a couple of horses-. However the Mojo paintjob for these figures is much worst than the original Southlands one, notably in the perentie. Maybe other figures from this brand will be saved from Mojo, in collector's circles there is much expectation about if the never released Southlands saltwater crocodile will be released by Mojo but I don't think it's very probable.
This black rhino is very dynamic and very well done. The king vulture and old favourite of many. My collection still lacks an American black bear and this one could fit very well. The new Schleich manatee is in fact in my wishlist and I hope to get my hands in it. And the barbary sheep is the only of your figures that I have - as all CollectA hoofstock, it's a masterpiece.

Hi, today i have for all of you, i was looking at some prices of my old mini figures and was shocked to realise that some of them are worth nearly a hundred dollars. anyways i was wondering how you guys store them with limited space (mine are just crammed into a small bin sadly so im looking for new ideas).
Where were you looking and what figures? Because typically most of them are not worth that afaik.
Mine are currently between a shelf, some boxes, and a dresser drawer. They have all been in boxes at times.

Ok thanks for your storage ideas, and ya I did some more research and realized they probably aren’t worth the amount but they were retired so they don’t have a set price. It might have been a scam
Retired figures do command a higher price for rarity, but over $100 apiece is pretty steep.
The most represented brand in my collection is Safari, but as far as favorite I'm stuck between Papo and CollectA for detail and quality.
