Papo "Lioness" Figure

I like to gather animal toys for decoration

Too detailed and high quality to let kids play with them! Great as teaching tools. :)

ライオンの置物を置くと風水的によいと聞いたので購入してみました。 リアルで今にも吠えそうです。何も言わずに机に置いていたら娘がビックリしてました。

This feels like actual shera wali mata ka sher.

Gli animali Schleich sono davvero maestosi: i dettagli sono unici, realistici e curati in ogni minimo particolare. Al tatto si percepisce subito la qualità dei materiali, solidi e resistenti, che li rendono perfetti anche come pezzi da collezione. C’è però un aspetto da considerare: alcuni modelli risultano piuttosto pesanti. Nulla di grave per un adulto, ma se in mano a bimbi piccoli e un po’ vivaci possono diventare “pericolosi” se lanciati durante il gioco. Nel complesso, sono prodotti eccellenti, che uniscono gioco e realismo. Li consiglio a famiglie con bambini un po’ più grandi o a chi vuole regalare un gioco educativo, resistente e con un fascino unico.

This is the most realistic animal figurine I've seen so far! She's absolutely beautiful, exquisitely crafted, down to every hair. The colors are right, the color transition between the darker main coat and the lighter underside is gradual and natural, the detail on the face is carefully painted and very realistic. She even has paw pads painted on the underside of her feet. I got her the male lion from PAPO as well and they look great together, although he's quite a bit darker in color. There's one thing I'm not happy about. On all my other PAPO models, the production information has always been subtly embossed on the underside of the belly, with no color; however, on this lioness, this information has been moved from the belly to the thighs, spanning both of them, which is more visible. Moreover, in addition to the standard embossed tagging, there's a four-digit number painted in *black* on the inside of one of her thighs. It's very jarring against her pale thigh, and completely unnecessary, given that all the other information is still only subtly embossed with no color. I don't understand why this had to be done, why in color and why in such a visible place, and why this figurine has to have it at all given that none of the others do. I know it must sound silly, but it's somewhat reminiscent of those concentration camp number tattoos, so I'm not crazy about it. Oh, and one last thing - there are these weird lines going across the sides of the body, which look like scorch marks or burn scars. Upon a closer look, I think it's an attempt to enhance the muscle definition with darker paint, but the effect isn't very natural. Despite my complaints, I'd still give her 5 stars because she's so gorgeous and lifelike, and so much better than anything else that's out there!
