VEB Plaho / Marolin collection / colors / variations

Everything ok then.
Yes, when they are painted, they are no "slip-throughs" of course...
They really sold everything then...

Here again the Chinese piracy of Capricorn. You can clearly see that the horns of copies is associated with the body (In the original, the horns / antlers still removable).
Also you can see from the plastic color (different) that they were probably copied over a longer period.

Photo: left and right copies, the original in the middle.

...See on my other topics, I wrote. There exist more of this chinese copies...

From my other topic...my collection...

One can hardly believe it. China robbed the GDR. Here a few pirated copies with typically Chinese manuscript. Bad processing, bad colours. The pirated copies are a little smaller, however, the structure of the figure is identical. The plastic is harder or much softer.

I know also the tiger, the panther and another donkey. But there are certainly more ...

Interesting Thomas, as always! :)

Very interresting indeed !

So interesting! Thank you for sharing! I love learning all this history and seeing the old figures.

And I love all of the sheep and lambs! They are fantastic! Now I have to find them!

12 cm figures fit very good to the Schleich figures. I collect them also, but not so expansive/extrem.

...from last year...[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

now why did you have to go and do that?!?!? talk about whetting my appetite! they're wonderful!

the camels! Is the saddle molded on, or does it come off?

The saddle of the 12cm camel is removable. From the 9cm camel the saddle is fixed ... but there are also two models.

That is what i mean with "never see before".

oooooo! those camels! those sheep!
If i weren't obsessed with collecting sheep, I'd collect camels. I love camels.

Great stuff again Thomas!

Did I ever tell you that I once was on the Galapagos Islands? At that time I was still an enchanted princess.
Do not worry, I'm just a little bit crazy.
