NF Roaring Tiger

Here are my NeoForm animals. I only have four: the zebra, the stag, the lion and the tiger. The zebra was bought last week in the local second hand store. The lion, the tiger and the stag were bought back in 1985. They were presented in boxes in which we picked the animals we wanted. I remember there was also a model of chamois sold along with the stags. I should have bought a chamois as well...

Interesting figurines, especially the stag :)

Those models are not from Neoform..unless there are two compagnies called Neiform
Neoform made composition models

Anyway, thankyou for sharing, - they are nice. Especially the stag, as Andreas says

They ARE NeoForm: they are marked "NF". They were from a 1980's series.

Unfortunately, I have no information... unless there are TWO manufacturers marked "NF"? Are your NeoForm animals also marked "NF"?

Yes. But they are composition models, which were made In Denmark from 1946 - 1964.
They don't look like that at all, as many were copies of pre-war Elastolin models, and they were all in that style.
There are some example HERE .
There were also some dinos designed by a Danish professor, which are so sought after, that they are said to be the most expesive vintage dino models at all.

They are marked NF,  N.F. , or a logo where the right strok in the "N" is the same as the left stroke in the "F" , or they are marked DENMARK. Or not marked at all

My lion, tiger and stag were bought back in 1985 and I remember the zebra was part of that series when I bought the felines (there was also a chamois on sale with the stag, but back then I didn't have money for all of them). My NF (by the way, can't you distinguish the "NF" sign coming out of the zebra's belly?) animals are also marked "Made in Hong Kong"; I see no sign of Denmark on them... Do you think NeoForm took a leap in completely another direction in the 1980's which could explain the difference of style between my NF animals and yours? Do your NF animals come from another generation than the 1980's?

I have the lion and tiger by this company but I also have a black panther by the same company.

Nice!!!

I resurrect this thread just to thank you, I tried to identify those toys for a long time, I think I have a bootleg version of them, they were among my favourite toys as a child.
My tiger is yellow, for example [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Well , there is also an indonesian company named NF Toys

You think two distint manufacturers are called NF?

There are two distinct toys manufacturers: One is called NeoForm and is Danish, the other is called NF Toys and is Indonesian.

... and we also have Nardi Fratelli that used to mark their figures with N.F. and Italy. Though, those were also composition models. It seems Nardi also worked with plastic but I am not sure they did it with animal figures too.
Curiously, Federico, that owns a yellow tiger, is an Italian member and see what I have found in an Italian online shop

This Indian rhino

Apparently, it can be bought directly from that shop. There are also some mint new Toy Major in boxes. The animal is described as NF and made in Hong Kong.
It is unlikely that these figures are Neo-Form. The company was defunkt when these figures were released.
About being NF Toys from Indonesia, I can't find any evidence but obviously it is also possible.
The way is to not let this topic die and keep searching for more informations or wait that someone has something more to add to this subject.

NeoForm, Nardi Fratelli and an indonesian NF mystery manufacturer... that is pretty confusing. No wonder Suzanne didn't believe me at first when I thought my figures being NeoForm...

Oh, I know that Rhino, it was pretty common among cheap animal bags when I was a child!
Never heard of Nardi Fratelli, tho

And here is my newest NF arrival: a beautiful sow!

Nice newcomer :)

These NF Toys still keep popping and feeding the NF mistery. That's a nice piggy but I really would love to know the exact origin of these toys.

So would I! We already have SIX N.F. animals in this topic and we cannot put them on TAI yet for this reason.

That "NF" 1980's company also made a Gorilla, a Polar Bear, an African Elephant, a Chamois and a Horse. I remember having seen them in stores when I was a child. They probably made more, but I don't remember them.

Is it the same Neo Form like the red headed vulture in the Toy Animal wikipedia??

Wasn't aware that NeoForm did plastic models. It has to be another company because I'm fairly certain NeoForm was long gone before the 80's rolled around. Those letters have to stand for something else.

I have a NeoForm wolf that is stamped "NF" but it's a composition animal. Certainly is a good mystery.

If you read the earlier replies, you will see that we already know it's not NeoForm, and we are looking for the identity of this NF 1980's company. Do you have a clue?
