Nursing Tigress with cubs (2 figures)

I love the idea of the tigress and cubs. Excellent for Sandtray. However, there is the solid black line running around the middle of the tigress. The paint work is not as detailed as the advertised photo suggests (thanks Papo). The paint on the cubs is barely there, and I’m not confident of the longevity for this miniature. Pros: can be used together or apart. Great expressions. Cons: Paint work is mediocre. I would expect better from Papo. So, until Safari or Schleich make their own version of a tiger mother and babies, this one is worth having in the collection.

The photo is amazing; however, the actual figurine does not match. The tigress has a vertical, dark line 1/2 through her body, it makes the piece look like it is two pieces that were bonded together. I inquired to customer service, basically they said it is what it is...they are all like that. My question was, "Then why don't you show photos of the ones that are actually in stock?" No answer, not even an offer to refund me.
