Vacation Hauls
Recently I made that entry with lots of souvenirs I have collected on my various travels. I have some more to add to the collection from my vacation last week ;) See the detailed pics under the cut.
Seems my cow collection is complete, now I am starting a sheep collection ;)
I need to find a small plant pot yet for it.

After centuries without any wolfes, in the past few years we got some new wild packs in Saxony.
This is a Nici wolf in sheep's clothing I got in a museum's shop. Too cute for me not to buy instantly! I've never seen this before. You can even take off his hoodie.

The same shop also had tiny tiny animals which I couldn't resist. These are made from hard plastic. I have a similar animal collection made from gum, but they are only one color, not as nicely painted as these.

At Görlitz Zoo I also saw a nice small plushie camel but you'll have to wait till Christmas to see it, as my mother got it for me.
O-o, the wolf already is disguising himself among the sheep on my sofa!

Nice plastic animals, too. I loved collecting them as a child. I'd totally swipe your tiger (black panther? but it has tiger's head) even now! :)

And the tiny animals are cute. I had some of the tiny rubber/gum ones like 15 years ago -- a shop on my way home from uni had a whole bin for 10 cents each, and I'd stop and pick out a couple every time, because they always had something new, or just a kind I hadn't seen lying on top before. These are definitely much more detailed... though I liked the rubber texture of those.

I should do a post of my sheep collection so far. It's more than I thought!

I need to look for that.

Oh that's cool that you also know the small rubber animals! And yes, it has been many many years. We should compare our collection ;) I bascially bought everything but skipped a few of the different dog and fish kinds, as I felt that would be too much. And I think I also went rather for wild animals than farm animals, which I kinda regret now. Some of them already have played a part in my figure pictures even. See what you can find in here ;) http://dieastra.livejournal.com/156252.html

These are much smaller than the usual zoo animals we played with as a kid though! The panther is a bit shorter than my thumb.

I have no idea where my collection is, sadly -- downstairs somewhere in boxes, or possibly even in my parents' garage. I do remember concentrating on wild animals and rodents, though. I think I might have the same hedgehog...

I'll just post pictures of mine and then you can see whether you recognize anything ;)
