I am a beginner in Künstlerschutz collecting, and I am by no means planning on trying to get a complete collection. I started out with a donkey I got for a Lundby stable, then added a few dogs, especially the smaller ones which I discovered work great as Lundby pets. Then I fell for the anthropomorphic ones which are super cute as inhabitants with slightly smaller and more basic furniture, such as Dol-toi, since they only measure about 3 inches. They live mostly in my Ashland houses from Michael's - you can click on this link to see those houses https://lundbylisalove.blogspot.com/search/label/2021%20Michael%27s%20Ashland%20room%20boxes
My latest idea was making a snow landscape this Christmas and using as many animals as possible. I was excited to win the large polar bear to add to this scene, and I couldn't resist adding a few of my other favorites. Let's face it, if you have polar bears, penguins and Christmas elves in one scene, you might as well have a giraffe as well.
Anyway, here are some pictures of my little Kunstlerschutz collection.
My first little guy:
Varying sizes:
Anthropomorphic:
Mr Hedgehog went a bit overboard collecting teapots!
This donkey came without clothes, but he's getting ready to take a bath.
As Lundby pets:
The small puppies work best for scale.
Unconventional pets:
As dollhouse children's toys:
Farm animals:
Snow landscape:
The penguins are not Künstlerschutz - they are vintage made in Taiwan, but also flocked. I think they work well for my snow scene - the real Künstlerschutz penguins would be much too big.
