Yes, Neo-Form , Danolin and Nordlyset were little compagnies started I Denmark just after the war, - they copied Lineol and some Elastolin models.

Nordlyset is almost unknown now, but Neo-Form is especially famous for a range of beautyful dinosaurs.
They were madly expensive at the time, and were mainly sold to school, so these days they are among the most expensive vintage dino models of all.

Thank you :)

Ahhh... cape! So is a cape buffalo a type of water buffalo? I was searching for images of the difference which looks like the cape has the horns that come out on top of the head like giant eyebrows...but both versions are popping up in both searches as water buffalo.

Well, actually, cape buffaloes are a species, not a kind of water buffalo. Cape buffaloes have a wig like horns, and water buffaloes have roll horns. Another thing... Cape buffaloes are from South and Western Africa, and water buffaloes are from India, Philippines, Rindja (Indonesia), and Indochina (where they were domesticated). Here are others:
Water buffalo Bubalus bubalis, cape buffalo Syncerus caffer
Water buffalo 48 chromosomes, cape buffalo 50 chromosomes
Water buffalo's predators are Tigers, striped hyenas and komodo dragon. While cape buffalo's predators are lion, african painted dogs and crocodiles.
Water buffalo is light grey, but cape buffalo is dark brown.

Interesting! Thanks!

Very nice! Well, talking about buffaloes, I forgot to talk about the Elastolin (Tipple-Topple) water buffalo. In the ToyAnimal Wiki, when I go to the African Buffalo page, I can see the Tipple-Topple buffalo... I would say that the Tipple-Topple is actually an Asian water buffalo, not the African species... If you see the horns closely, you'll find that the Tipple-Topple water buffalo is based on a Bulgarian Murrah, a breed of domestic Asian water buffalo. Here you can see it: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

The good thing is that this Asian water buffalo is still available on eBay and Figurenschnapp.de...

I agree, the main problem is Tipple-Topple named it a Cape buffalo on catalogues. So what to do ? Maybe we could let the name and put the link on the TAW Water buffalo page ? What do you think ?

An unknown bison! [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Yes, I believe that is the best option. It's better if the Tipple-Topple buffalo is on the Bubalus page.

By the way, there is supposed to be a Bubalus bubalis (Domestic water buffalo) page on TAW. The only pages are for the tamaraw and the wild water buffalo (Bubalus arnee).

The domestic water buffalo page should include the Tipple-Topple buffalo, the Bandai Buffalo female and calf, and the Safari Ltd. Carabao.
