Title: Made in Mexico

I am moving home, so it will take some time before I can show you my collection (in addition writing in English takes long time for me). In the meanwhile, I can only show you my most valuable and oldest figures. Let Klick Kong to show you what I have. Enjoy!  :)

Animals! :love: Love them all! That mama polar bear is very special! The color she has turned makes her so realistic, like the color of many real polar bears. Thanks for sharing, can't wait to see more!


Btw, Klick Kong! :lol: :lol: :lol: That's cute.

While I was organizing my collection I found this surprise. I didn’t even remember that I had it. It’s an Aurimat product made in Mexico from almost 25 years ago!!!  :yippee:
