5274 Wildlife Tigers and apes
« on: February 05, 2014, 14:22:41 »
I am not to familiar with the fact that by introducing the new collection a part of the old disappears. I had been postponing to buy the orang oetans as an add on and now they where gone...

I tried to order them separately but they were way more expensive (7,95) and the whole set that was on offer for 27,95. The snake and the white painted tigers I also didn't have.
So I decided to buy the set and I'm happy I did. The set is way bigger than I thought based upon the pictures on the box.

I'll give you a review of the set.

The car is a nice one with the WWF logo on it.
I also like the apes very much. They look friendly and are able to hang in various positions. Too bad the young ones can't move their arms.

I was a bit disappointed in the rocks. They are one piece and you click it on to the base plate. There's not much variation possible.

The ranger comes with a lot of camping and explorer gear. I like the microscope!





This is the complete set.





I love the expression on the young tigers face.

Here you see a secret hiding place for the scorpions.





The ranger also brought some cooking gear. Maybe he has to hunt for meat. There is only one can with carrots and pies and some salad, cauliflower?

The car is my third landrover. I took some pictures of them. Eventhough Playmobil used the same mold I like the variation between the cars. There is also a new jerrycan!

Thank you for the review of this set. I've had my eye on it at TRU. I don't like those rock formations either, and I already have them from another set, but the vehicle is beautiful and I need more orangs. Of course here they don't say WWF and have a zebra instead of the WWF logo. :(

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Yes, I was very disappointed with that - playmobil finally supports a cause I hold dear, and the sets are only in Germany. I had mine from there (this one and the okapis)

Guess we all agree on the rocks... Rockies would be a lot more useful..

It's a nice looking set. If you really want the WWF one Bonnie you can order it through Amazon Germany, cost isn't much different than buying it here in the end.

I bought this one at www.webgigant.eu

They have all the WWF ones for the dutch market. I bought the okapi and gorilla set a while ago at another online shop. This one also had the zebra instead of the WWF logo while on the site they showed the other box. I also like the logo on the klicky.

Thanks, lovely review!

I really like the landrover. I hadn't noticed the microscope and the camping gear before. Maybe the ranger is a vegan or something. Makes sense  ;D

The rock-on-baseplate is a bummer, indeed. I've got one from a fairy set, in different colours. It's difficult to store, because of its odd shape.
