Plus - Troetels

Besides the lovely Albert Heijn WWF figurines there is another Dutch supermarket that produced animal figurines. These so called 'Troetels' are about the same size as the AH WWF figurines, but are less realistic, are made of a softer kind of plastic and are covered in a soft flock coating. There are two series made, one in 2011 and one in 2013. Each series exist of 25 animal figurines, but for the second series there was one special edition made as well. So in total there are 51 Troetels. The photographs are not mine; I just want to share this series with you.

It may surprise you that I have very few of these Troetels (only about 5 of them)    I wasn't really interested in them - until now. So I have to hunt down another series of cute tiny animal figurines

Congratulations,  very cute :)

Arrw ! There are SO many that I don't hav

They er SO cute

Oh I love the little zebra! So cute!

I still have these spare Troetels.
They were in my tradelist that has gone missing.

I scraped the skin off the polarbear and the brown bear.
They have nice white and brown plastic underneath.

Here in Holland we see them all over the place at fleamarkets.
So maybe the others can't be that hard to find.

Thanks for all these informations! It is always interesting to have a reference to these little figures.
I don't use to point mistakes because it is a quite normal thing, but organutan sounds great!
That gibbon looks actually a very serious Sir.

Awwwr so flurry!

Indeed, they aren't that hard to find I just have to look for them the next time I'll visit a flea market!

I even looked it up so I wouldn't create some sort of new species, but it looks like I made a typo anyway Thanks for pointing it out!
