People love to collect their favorite animals, including my mom who collected dozens of pigs and a SIL who collects geese. Not to mention that the cat figurines are adorable and would make a sweet little gift for children as well as all the many cat lovers who would find them unique and appealing.

My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic figurines, Spyro the Dragon toys and "Zootopia" toys.

It's just these "Old West" figures are based on the myth of the "Old West" 9mostly Hollywood's version) and they try so hard to "cute-ify" it.

Well, to each his own I guess.
