Please be aware that due to the large number of Giraffes pictured, they needed to be photographed in groups and thus are not necessarily to relative scale in these pictures.
Giraffe Toy Overview:
There are currently 9 different Adult Giraffe toys available. We have ranked them from our favorite to least favorite. That said, any of the models would be acceptable in your collection. Your choice will depend on your preference for species (reticulated or regular) and color / pose.
Overall, we slightly prefer this figure due to its bright coloring. (especially if you are getting one model for a child). The model is more orange than brown and thus stands out when placed side by side with the other figures. The face is well done, and the body has a nice slight hair texture to it. Nice stance. Again while maybe not the most accurate coloration, the coloring on this model really pops and makes it our first choice for the casual collector.
In terms of a more traditional / standard colored (brown) Giraffe, this is our first choice. This figure has more tan coloring between the spots, (as opposed to whiter coloring). This gives an eye-catching overall coloring to the model. The darker mane (with nice texture) is a great contrast. This figure also has a pleasing texture to it. The neck has good nice extension – creating a good overall pose. We believe this to the most accurate representation of a giraffe.
We really like the action pose on this model – not only are the head / neck fully extended, but the tongue is sticking out like it is trying to strip the leaves off the branches. Face is good looking, coloring is good, and dark mane provides a good contrast. Figure has a slight (and nice) texture to the touch. Papo does not call this a Female Giraffe, but we believe it to be Female.
This is the tallest of the adult Giraffe figures currently on the market. Stands tall, good-looking face, nice dark mane. So on its own is a good looking model. This model can easily be purchased as a stand alone model. But when paired with the Papo Giraffe Female – makes a good mother / father combo.
This is a good looking figure from Schleich. It has a very slight texture on the body. Lines between the spots are a brighter white than on many of the figures. In nature, we would not find this bright white. Generally, while this is a fine figure and we would not hesitate to add this to our collection, we prefer the aforementioned figures better but when paired with the Female (and the Calf) makes a nice family.
1/2 of Second Best Male / Female Pair: Schleich Giraffe Female #14750
Like the above mentioned Male figure, this Female figures is a good looking figure from Schleich. It has a very slight texture on the body. Lines between the spots are a brighter white than on many of the figures. In nature, we would not find this bright white. Generally, while this is a fine figure and we would not hesitate to add this to our collection, we prefer the aforementioned figures better but when paired with the Female (and the Calf) makes a nice family.
This figure was new from Mojo in 2022, so we would have expected more features. Overall the figure is fine. We like the pose on this model. No / little texture on this model. This figure is acceptable, but there are better choices (see above).).
This figure was new from Mojo in 2022, so we would have expected more features. Overall the figure is fine. The most noticeable feagure on this model is the irregular spotting pattern. No / little texture on this model. This figure is acceptable, but there are better choices (see above).
Model is fine but looks a little more basic than the other models. Primary issue is that we simply do not like the coloring between the spots on the hide. Again, model is fine – just not our favorite.
Toy Adult Giraffe Review Conclusion:
Any of these figures are acceptable. As noted above, we do like some more than others .
