Review: good quality - Fair Warning: I'm just going to post this in all my animal items needing reviews unless one of them stands out for good or ill. My son has a built up a heck of a collection made up of Papo, Collecta, and Schleich, and Safari Ltd. My son and I, or he and his friend, have enjoyed playing with them, some for several years. As there is often a predator-prey battle, there can be some violent collisions, "clawing", "pouncing upon", etc. The Papo, Schleich, and Collecta are high quality replicas--all good build quality, durable, wonderfully detailed, a good weight and heft but not overly so, and they have held up without any issues (as mentioned, I'll note any exceptions in the individual review). The Safari Ltd. have suffered the most from the treatment, though the vast majority of those creatures have come through relatively unscathed. I'd say they're lesser quality i both durability and craftsmanship, but they are more than adequate for playing even somewhat roughly with. If it has thin legs, or other parts, it might be better to go the Schleich or Collecta, as they really are excellent build quality. But for creatures without a lot of appendages or thin parts (say, a beaver), the Safari are fine, if not quite as nicely made.
Review: Believe it or not, I got this for my wife...and she loves it! - OK, a little explanation. My wife REALLY likes hippos. In fact, if she were going to be reincarnated she would choose to be a hippo. It's not a bad choice...think about it. Being really big and fat is best, you get to lounge around in warm water all day, you waddle up onto shore and eat your fill and then head back to the water. Plus, hippos are allegedly really bad-tempered...there are confirmed reports of people being killed or maimed by them. Anyway, I gave one of these Papa: Adult Hippopotamus units to my wife for Valentine's Day this year (along with a few other things), and it was a HIT! This toy appears to be VERY durable. It's size is as advertised. It is heavy and has no external openings. This is a quality toy. It's pose shows the general demeanor of these animals, and it would be fun as a child's toy, on the office shelf or desk of a professional, or, like ours, in a place of honor in our home :-D. This toy is worth the cost, and my wife is VERY happy with hers. 5 stars all the way!
