Random question but does anyone know of any companies that make Giraffe mini's? My other half has a b'day coming up and I wanted to surprise her with one if possible,she's got a thing for giraffe's (they are pretty damn cool though,right?).Anyway they could be anything really,a straight sculpt of an actual giraffe or even one of those funky 'Visions In Fantasy' mini's from Dark Sword.Any help would be greatly appreciated and score me a ton of brownie points,especially considering I'm spending close to AU$900 on Kingdom Death:Monster in a few days.
Cheers.

I could sculpt you one for "mates rates", lol! I'm probably gonna back KD tonight but have been wrestling with the decision (yes/no/how much) since day one!

[Edit] Brainstorm!!! Will she be playing Kingdom Death with you?! If so you should totally get a giraffe holding a lantern in its mouth, possibly with some kind of luggage strapped to its back. Survivor / explorer giraffe: now that would be epic!

There are lots in the "railroad", "historical" and "military" lines. Giraffes are popular, which seems weird to me, but so does the affection shown toward penguins and horses...but I digress. Point being, you can find giraffes just about everywhere, art shops (the shops selling paintings, sculptures and such, NOT supplies), toy stores and of course many hobby shops that cater to modelers and gamers. Seriously, the local Mrs. Tiggy Winkles or Toys'R'Us (or whatever the equivalent big box toy store is called in Australia) will have a couple options, you should stop in the next time you pass by. The quality has really come a long way in the last decade for the "crappy toy store figures".

Giraffes are popular among model train enthusiasts because circus trains are popular. For the same reason one can find lions, elephants, seals, and other circus type beasties.

Unfortunately, the most popular model railroad scales are either too small or too large (HO is about 75% 28mm scale, OO just a touch larger, and O is about 150%). S scale is perfect, but really really rare.

I just purchased some giraffe miniatures made by Mega Minis which I think are pretty good. (To make a diorama for my wife, as it happens.) The pack came with six giraffes with three varieties (male, female, juvenile). However, the models seem to be out of print. I purchased mine from www.nobleknight.com.

(sorry the picture is so small)
