Thought i would post photos here of my most favourite and treasured of all my animal models. I absolutely love them. Some of you may have seen these in the past on the LG forum. The first photo was taken from the Safari website many years ago - the model there has a shiner paint finish and the legs are in a lovely pose, unfortunately the real model has straighter legs...I wonder if the warm water/hair dryer solution would work but I dare not ruin these models.

They are beautiful Numaan, thanks for these pictures. I think Torben is searching for the foal?

Fantastic Numaan. Those critters are absolutely awesome

Oh, they look so lovley

I would love to have them in my collection, but I guess they are realy realy rare

Lucky you

thanks for the messages folks. I had such trouble getting the two adults ten years ago.....one i found from a mail order company and the first one I got after contacting Safari direct. I sent them a really long email about how I was desperately looking for it and a month after i sent them a letter someone in customer services emailed me and told me that she got me one but would not reveal how she got it. I was grateful! Anyway enjoy the pictures, these are my most prized models, along with the Kaiyodo Bongo and Schleich Oryx. Does anyone here have one of them?

Congratulations on having these. They are so beautiful. I have searched long and hard for these and never seen them for sale. You are definately lucky to have them.

I would love to have these, my Schleich Oryx is my most prized model in my collection.

I recently got two of the adults on ebay from a seller in Japan. They were not expensive and arrived in good shape. I believe there were about 8 sets available with no shipping cost to the U.S. and pay pal for payment. I got them in August. I will look on ebay and see if they are still available.

exceptional ! great figures ! i don,t see it until now.

Hi Numaan, nice to see you from time to time here!
Of course i saw these models from your collection before...
They are great, and the trick with the hair-dryer and cold water won't ruin them, believe me!
Just today i used this trick to re-model a 1970's model, and it worked out again!

oh i loooove those!

I just spent the last hour trying to find the shop that I bought my two oryx from. The ebay store is Shop for Fun. They are located in Hong Kong not Japan. They currently have no listings on ebay. They also sell alot of Batman and Superman figures. If I ever find them again I will pass on the info. I will try to post pictures soon.

Too bad that didn't had the oryxes anymore at the moment...
We would love to see your pics of them too of course!
