First off I am titling this June but am posting it in July because I already have 14 new animals on their way to me that aren't here yet, so it's really referring to my collection as it was at the end of June. I started this particular project as a celebration of the 10th Anniversary of my Animobil website which has just happened. I will be adding the big photo to the site in my next update. So here it is:

You can click the link to go see it in full size, which is fairly big. It's so much though that I had to take a bunch of closer shots you can blow up to really see things well. I will post those in responses below.
How many animals are there in the photo? 1059
As a collector of course I look at it and just see the huge gaping holes where the 92 I don't have are missing
But 14 are on the way already, and most of the rest I don't have only because they haven't been released here in the US yet and I am too cheap to pay shipping from Germany for them so far. This patience and waiting thing isn't always my strongest trait. I may get them early yet if the Euro drops again. There are just a handful of older ones that I don't have, about 14 that are not in production that I am watching for yet. Some I may not be able to get ever as they are pretty rare, hard to distinguish from more common ones in photos, or just impossible to get in the US. I hope to go to Europe again in a few years and will time it to be at one of the big collector Playmo fairs so I can shop through the dealers and hopefully find a few of them.
