I’d like to share pictures of my newcomer – brand new Safari Ltd Barn Owl.
Photobucket
To my mind, Wings of the World Series is the real gem of Safari Ltd. model range, and this bird is the only addition to the series this year.
So, let’s take a look.

James Connolly was very kind to send me three Mojo Fun figures I like the most. Here are they:


You may say I’m repeating myself, but once again I dare to say that Mojo beaver is the best beaver figurine available at the market today.
Here is it in my European display (this pic looks like the photographer was sitting in ambush in shrubbery near water and snapshot the beaver coming out of a pond):


To back my conclusion with arguments I’ll try to make a consise review of beaver figurines by major brands.

Thirteen months have passed since I set up my second African display located in a cabinet. It has been updated with new animals and plants since then and I’d like to share some pics of how it looks now (photos are clickable).
General view in horizontal plane – this is how my daughter can see this display from her bed (I removed glass doors while taking pics):

Until now there were no figures of male lions at the market that satisfied my taste. But Mojo lion is just what the doctor ordered! So I dare to say that it is the best male lion figurine available at the market today.
And here are some pics (clickable).
I settled the new lion in my Africa cabinet display – look how he is studying the terrain:


The former "king" of this "jungle" is being expelled by the stately Mojo male:


And here he is wading a river and stepping on a bluff sand ridge:


This figure reminds me of this guy:

To the moment among all the 2012 new animal figures with photos unveiled this one is my favorite - Waterbuck by CollectA:


The very choice of a species is excellent and unbelievable. Moreover, the figure itself looks magnificent!

Flamingos look better in a flock! That’s why I bought four of them, and they became a real highlight of my Africa shelf:
