Another first... and only, I must add. During one of my eBay searches, which I am trying to minimize... this Hippopotamus Westland Music Figure (#7077) came up, and I had to have it. I did not expect very much of it, as it was only 10 USD, but I was in for a surprise. All the hippos are very much detailed and really nicely done. Even the tune: Talk to the Animals (link to version of Louis Armstrong), sounds nice. Of course not as nice and jazzy as the one by Louis, but "considering-it-is-a-music-box-nice". Most of the time, I am not that much into whimsical hippo items, but I have become rather fond of this lovely bloat. Just wondering who would come up with a design like this, as I would not necessarily put "music box" and "hippos" together. Just happy somebody did. Whatever floats your bloat!
