The outstretched wings of Derek are quite dynamic, flying in with it’s branch. Now, to the main event, the pair of doves, named Derek and Delilah (nice names!) I believe Derek is the one holding the olive branch, hinting at the end of the story, while Delilah is the one looking as if she is roosting. My only issue is his staff, as the hands aren’t very good at holding it, being too loose, resulting in him dropping it quite often. At 2.9″ high and 1″ wide (shoulder to shoulder), it fits with the rest of the line, and could work with others too. He is shown as wearing robes and basic clothing as might be seen a thousand or so years ago, looking like a typical depiction of a wizened old man. This review covers the set containing the most famous animals in the Noah story, the doves, specifically rock doves ( Columba livia), a ‘common species’ in the series, as it is found across the globe.Īs these animals are so central to the story, and quite small, this set comes packaged with Noah. In the mid 2000’s it also inspired a toy line, Noah’s Pals, where animals are packed two-by-two and numbers based on their conservation status, educating children in a fascinating way. Zoos have been named in his honour, and peace symbols based on animals in his story. Whatever your stance on religion, it is hard to deny the impact that the story of Noah has had on animal welfare and conservation.
