The completely rolled trunk is an unusual pose in elephant figurines.

I agree, very rare. Congratulations.

Many thanks friends

Hello,
this elephant was designed and produced in the 60/70 Years in the UdSSR. This elephant is made of strong plastic but hollow and weights only about 140 g. It is not easy to press the body. The elphant is marked with the price and ?country? in kyrill letters.
This elephant is part of group of yellow animals like a hippo, lama, bear and cat and so on.

Hello,
here some rare elephants. I compare elephants of "ZZ Riesen" and "Holly".

Especially the elephant with the Kyrill letters is interesting. It is also interesting that i don't have seen this serie on a exhibition of toys from the UDSSR.

That yellow elephant has probably an interesting history behind it.
Could it be a Soviet propagandistic toy?

Hello Andreas,
do you mean the german traveling exhibition ZOO MOCKBA?
I found following information about this exhibition in the internet
and I found a picture shown in the exhibiton in Crailsheim with nearly the same elephant.
Look here: Bild Nr.13 Crailsheim
I think the grey elephant is a masterproduct from Boris Worobjew and the yellow elephant is variation of the grey one.

Hello,
I got two new Vintage Elephants.
A big hollow cast plastic Elephant.
And a italian designed Elephant.
Both are beautiful like the old days.

Especially the first figure looks good.

I also like very much the first model despite the large ears for an Asian elephant.

Here is my last of the family an asian elephant from Mojö;
Fine grain sculpture a bit average in size but very well sculpted.

Fantastic the Mojo Indian elephant in that 2nd photo, Jean! Is it normal pvc or the rubbery tpr they used for a short time?
Nice family too, Andreas!

I wasn't aware that Mojo had such a beautiful Asian elephant, congrats! I definately want to get this model now

I have never been a lover of elephant figures, they have always seemed to me excessively popular, overexploited and hackneyed....

Besides, children always answer that their favorite animals are elephants, giraffes, tigers, lions... But I, since I was a very, very, very little child, have had a passion for rarer or less popular animals (always fighting in favor of hyenas...)

But, I must admit that when there is an elephant figurine I fall in love with it, it is at the top of my searches...

I wanted to present with this introduction two figures that impress to me (one -arrived from Germany- was waiting for the other one, that landed yesterday in Madrid from France).

Here a beautiful pair of Asian elephants with more than a century of difference in age...
A Pfeiffer from 1900 and a Kerapolin...

PS: I am fascinated by Asian elephants with this characteristic pink discoloration...

The one with depigmented face and ears is quite nice. I like a lot the effect of very fine skin wrinkles.

WOW, treasures!!! Kerapolin? I've never heard about it. Congratulations for finding those fabulous elephants.

Magnificent wonders, real treasures

This morning, I finally received my own NF Bendable African Elephant. Here it is.

Impressive trunk!

Interesting elephant figure

Unusual design, I enjoy it. It is like a firefighter elephant.
