PostSubject: Questions about K&M-Wild Republic   Questions about K&M-Wild Republic EmptySat Aug 06, 2011 11:53 am

Please can some guru provide me any infos about company K&M Int.? I found some relations with Wild Republic...  Shocked I am totally confused... I saw some low-end one dollar figures with K&M Int signature as well as some excellently shaped and well painted (and significantly bigger) ones. The company probably produces no such figures anymore I am unable to find any old K&M catalogue. Some figure photos I found on CollectorsQuest only.

The any K&M animals was sell also in Toobs like safari and they have also bigger animals in a softer material (i have two sharks). Today K&M is wild republic and you can find any animals in the tubes by wild republic.
I know follow K&M tubes (any animals are very small):

Monkeys
Big Cats
America
Asia
Congo
Australia
Endangered Animals

any time ago i see 3 tubes in a online-shop, but i can find it now.

My penguins sold by Wild Republic have K&M on them. They are larger than Schleich and also hollow. Two of them have a squeaker !

Thanks for your answer, Andreas, I know You are K&M expert (since I have some K&M figures from You)! My WR small animals from buckets are idetical as some Chinese unbranded ones or Nayab marked pieces. Some bigger WR animals I have are hollow-multipart-composed figures but K&M figures were softer (as You wrote) and AFAIK no hollowplast. So I think maybe the WR company is K&M company official follower but origin of the WR production is closer to the nonamed "Made in China" figures than the older K&M ones...

No, i am not a expert. I became my K&M animal tubes in the 90s in the shop of my hometown Zoo Dresden. They have a lot of tubes. And i search also for this animals, because they have also a lot of species, they only by K&M (Red river hog, bateleur....). And i have also the Wild Republic buckets animals by Nayab. But i think, they are actually sale also by Wild Republic and other.

If not expert, then very experienced collector at least Wink Do You have photo of your (old) K&M collection or catalogue? I am especially focused to the small felids - some days ago I received really great ocelot figure with K&M Int signature but completely different than the "K&M ocelot" from CollectorsQuests photo. It was be great if there are another K&M high quality small felids, e.g. margay, manul, caracal etc., but my searching was no succesfull (I don´t know exactly which figures should I search)...

PostSubject: Re: Questions about K&M-Wild Republic   Questions about K&M-Wild Republic EmptySat Aug 06, 2011 3:25 pm

Indeed K&M and Wild Rep are the same company. K&M is a subsidiary company of KAIYODO.

NAYAB is a Chinese company which produced generic toys for several brands. We used to call those animals NAYAB on STS because it is easier than talking about NATURE ZONE, KIM PLAY.... AND why not WILD REPUBLIC.

K&M sold different toobs and products and it is possible to find several models of the same animal.

The WR toobs sold on TGFtoys are the same than the older K&M.

I've also a keen interest for the K&M figures, although I think that most of the Playvisions figures are higher in terms of quality.
