pipsxlch's additions 05/17

Congratulations! I used to have all those dragons at one time, but sold them a while ago. I did keep the baby Nugur though, he's just too darn cute!

Congratulation, the incredible "fishes" are especially awesome

Beautyful and strange creatures, - they give fun and a bit of humpur to a collection

I like those older Schleich dragons a lot, - and the StarWar fishes are glorious

Congratulations :)

I remember getting my dragons, they are the best as far as I'm concerned. Big congrats on the new dragons and the odd little star wars fish, I enjoyed looking at them. And what beautiful flowers you have there! Here the world is frozen, its nice to see such gorgeous wonderful flowers in December.

I found a few things at a flea market this weekend, and just made a good sized find at a thrift store that used to throw away any toys it got. Yay that they are keeping them to sell now!

Most if the little figures are no names, just China except for one Hong Kong. Most of the little frogs and maybe half of the turtles are Safari. The toob looks like it might be pretty old? It had no top, so I don't know that some/all of the figures in it are original to it. I can't make out a company's name on the toob, it looks like Ooausini, Qausini or maybe just Ausini? No date or barcodes; it's labeled 'World of Wild Animal'. Sorry once again for the messy worktop!

I don't know if anything here is on anyone's wishlists, but I'd be willing to trade or sell pretty much any of them if so.

Interesting additions, can you share please closer pics :)

Sure, as soon as I can. Are there certain ones you want to see?

I can try to break that big batch into smaller ones to photograph, if that's what's wanted... and Photobucket cooperates.
I found a few new things at a fleamarket. The box is a Schleich tree, and the unicorn is a Breyer Paddock Pals sized (horn broken, making a new one). Cobra and cow are Safari, German shepherd is Toy Major, dinos have no molded stamp but Triceratops has an ink stamp (Yuangjin Guangdong or something like that, it's not here at the moment), Tyrannosaur has no stamp but looks/feels like same make as the Triceratops. Husky or wolf pup is no name resin, weird dino/dragon is also unnamed.

Great stuff there

The tree even in the old design box !!

Nice stuff, congratulations Kelly :)

Additions from flea markets are always exciting once we never know what we will find there.
I have some questions, is your Toy Major German shepherd the 1999 version? You can confirm it just seeing each year is marked on it.
About the triceratops, it is also very interesting, Yuangjin Plastics co. may be the manufacturer being the other name the province where it is located. Actually that is a place with lots of Chinese manufacturers.

Nice batch, congratulation

Hi Roger, the German shepherd is stamped DOG 1999. And I have the triceratops here now, my mistake the stamp (on the side of the tail) is Guangdong Yinrun Industry Co. LTD 0514 Shantou China. Except for the mold join around the middle and the sick zombie paintjob of the eyes, it's not a bad figure. Pretty big though, about 10" long. It and the tyrannosaur came from the same flea market vendor who had a bunch of secondhand stuff, only a few toys or models.

Thanks for additional information! Markings are very important. You've just confirmed that it is the same dog we can see in Emilia's collection website and it is just marked dog what explains why it is not with other dog breeds. It may probably be a part of a farm set or it would be marked with breed name instead.
Your triceratops is marked with the Chinese manufacturer, not very usual, a brand name is or just "Made in China" is more usual, though it may be a good start to we find one more unknown series.

My husband and I went out to Cocoa Beach last weekend and hit a thrift store while there; I found a few small animals. (went to The Dinosaur Store also, I highly recommend visiting it if you're going to be in the Orlando area! Saw my first Papo dinos, gorgeous, and some interesting modern no name things but my husband said "no"- till the next time that is!)
The two Styracosaurs on bases are stamped Walking with Dinosaurs 3D. Other stuff is Chinamals except for wolf pup is Safari. The black bull angered his wife I think but he had a nice flow to him, I will try to fix him. Angel wings on Parasaurolophus aren't attached, they would fit any small animal.

Also today I found a closing store that supplies churches and schools mainly. (guess they're just going to online sales?) I picked up a few things; most I hope to sell but I'm keeping a few.

These figures are HUGE- some are soft rubbery plastic and some hard, they are attractive figures and are stamped 'Learning Resources Made In China'. I want to keep the fish but sell the rest.

A box of tiny, mostly dinosaur/prehistoric Chinamals, will probably use as child's handouts but would sell most or part. A larger toy marked as a baby reindeer and another as a squirrel were buried inside also. Tarunyada, one of the non-extincts is marked as a manatee (all seem to have species on them), and Roger, another is a fox.

A bag of dogs, about the same scale as the major brands, not bad sculpts but horrible paint. No brand.

Smaller toob sized dogs, same not terrible sculpts but horrible paint.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Cats, about same size as larger dogs, same not terrible sculpts but horrible paint.

And Play Visions sharks! Bought 2 bags of these, one to keep and one to share. Toob sized.

The store also had a few 12 pack animal sets I didn't get (butterfly, snake, frog, seahorse, jellyfish, I'm probably forgetting some), HUGE packages of wild animals and sea animals, a mixed sea animal set (small), and a few Safari toobs- I remember the pets one and I think a horse one, plus a few others. They also had a set of huge figures like the pets one I showed, only farm animals, a dog agility(?) set that I think had the same figures as the large dogs bag with accessories, and a cats play set with accessories and I think the cats bag. I will try to get back if I can/someone's interested before they close next week, but no guarantees I don't have a day off before then and unless I get off early I can't get there before they close in the evening.

Wow, Playvisions!!

WOW !!! You must have had a wonderful time, - I wished I was there too

Great congratulation

I enjoy a lot seeing these almost random toy animals. We always learn a lot and it is incredible the diversity of toys that can be acquired.
Among them some gens and it is exciting that you could find some Play Visions.
Is it possible to see a close-up of the fox you've found?
I am also very curious about these 12-figures sets. Do you recall if they had a similar quality to Play Visions or they were only variations around the same mould?
There's some chance that they are Club Earth, K&M or so. If they are, they're very interesting toys. If, for instance, jellyfish figures represent different species, I am sure it won't be hard to find a owner for them on forum.

Great additions and a lot wow congratz

I have received a very lovely gift from a forum member, a Prior fish! It really means a lot to me, so thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Here he is with my Yowie desert pupfish. They make a great pair!

That's a beautiful figure and a lovely gift! In fact, it bears some similarities with your Devil's Hole pupfish. Do you have any idea of what species it is?
