    I believe he is talking about the eastern grey kangaroo.

    For someone who started just this year your collection has grown immensely. It took me 13 years to get my collection of 130 ish pieces.

    Absolutely magnific! You're very good selecting each habitat!
    What is the figure between the Southlands emu and the CollectA civet? I can't recognize it!

    Thanks!

    That's Safari's Wolverine. Looking at the photo again it is a bit hard to tell what it is!

    These photos are fantastic - I still need to dig out all of my old figures when I'm home.

    I passed near a toy shop where I bought other times. Incluenced by the positive feedback for this figure given at the animal toy blog ( Minke Whale (Sealife by CollectA) ), especially about the presence of ear holes and the two bulges in throat, and after knowing how small can be these whales in real life (about a quarter of the lenght of a blue whale), I decided to purchase the minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) by CollectA.

    It's as magnific as the blog review says. Every detail in sculpt is exquisite.

    For now I only have two baleen whales. They scale more or less well with each other, overall if we count the minke whale as one of the largest individuals and the bowhead whale as a somewhat young one.

    But... beware, there are whale killers in the ocean, and not only those in ships...! Minke whale have same approximate size than orca so they fit well with Collecta killer whale.

    The other figure I bought in the shop is the nilghai (Boselaphus tragocamelus) by CollectA.
    [​IMG]

    Sizewise, it fits very well with the larger Indian ungulates done by major brands, such as gaurs, rhinos or this buffalo:

    Of course, I must present it with its closest living relative, the four-horned antelope:

    The nilghai is unaware of the danger behind it...
