I need an elephant replica for a project I will be starting soon. Imperial is my first choice, but Schleich, Safari, Papo, Collecta all will work for me. I need an adult elephant preferably male, no calf figures. Paint rubs don't matter at all. I have quite a bit to trade, just send me a PM.

specific size?

Doesn't matter a whole lot. I do like bigger ones. I know the Imperial one was around 12" long. But really any size would about do. Whatever Safari, Papo, Schleich ect. makes.  I have to mock up a circus wagon/ calliope to go with it ..so 6" would be the smallest I think.

well I Have acces for a Mojo Elephant, Its not huge

I haven't seen that one before, let me look it up.

Blade-of-the-Moon

Okay I did. Is it this one ?



The size is right around 6" which doesn't bother me at all. Not really a mammal expert at all, but it looks a little off proportion wise and it's balancing on it's trunk ?

I don't believe that would do for me to scale up darn it. :/

I have some Schleich ones, older (grey) and newer (brown). Do you just need the one?

Blade-of-the-Moon

Yeah I just need one. I plan to scale it up to almost life size for a scene setter piece for our haunt next year.  Is it Indian, Asian, or African ? male/female ? Would you say the Schleichs are pretty accurate as well ?

In general they are well done and quite accurate. I have male & female African, and an Asian as well, I think a female.

What would you want for the female African ?

So anyone else have an elephant ?

As an addendum, I would like to find an elephant skeleton replica..or I guess even a mammoth one would work for my needs. Just some cheap plastic one.

If you're still searching for one, this might be interesting, one of the best African Elephant figures. It's quite huge, 194 mm at the shoulder (which makes its scale being anything between 1/12 and 1/20) and approx. 1.4 Kg.

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a T-rex by Krentz? My friends all have Sideshow, I must make amends.

Sorry, I haven't been about much--if I recall, I'm asking 10+postage for the elephants. You'd have your choice of a grey or brown one.

No worries bud. I'm watching one on ebay for .99 plus 7.00 for postage. But if you want to trade that might be cheaper for me..just let me know. :)

Odd. I had a message on there. I thought. It was supposed to ask if you had a trade thread or list somewhere.

I scanned through the whole thing looking for one..must have glitched or something.  Yeah I have my sale thread, I'll trade anything on there for a similar valued item.
