| Thanks Andreas, I didn't know them. They are not top quality but they have some interest. They look somewhat like Wild Republic polybags. Giant anteater is quite funny and it is also funny that they reuse the same molds with different painting to represent different species. For instance, the ostrich is used in Australia, probably as a emu and I am not sure the mold is the same for rhea on South America. For my collection there is a fox with some color variations, I wonder which species the fox is representing on South American set? They have cards included so species info will be possible to know if someone gets one of these sets. |

| I bought some elephants from Wenno some weeks back, they sold them in a big department store for carparts! ( they also have a section for cheap toys) They are not great, but they were cheap, so I thought why not? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

| Yes, Anne presented it recently [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] in her additions topic and I remember watching it and suddenly I forgot! Susanne is also right, they look a lot like Brunnen, elephant, sea lion, panda, look very similar, I guess. |

| I have seen the African sets on sale here in the UK in a shop called The Entertainer.They seemed to be copies of other companies models and aren't too badly made. |

| Came across this boxed set on Amazon recently and decided to buy it since I've never seen the animals before (and I also just had to have the wolf ) I apologize if this brand was already discovered and a topic made but it looks to be fairly new. It is called "Wenno". The copyright on the fox is 2016 and all other copyrights are 2017. I don't have great photos but here are a few. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Here's the manufacturer and also a website (didn't look into it yet.) [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]These animals are solid plastic and pretty weighty too. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]If additional photos are wanted I will post a few more. |

| What a wonderful set Andreas showed a lin, a while ago [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] , and now we have a set to convince us of the nice quality The moose and reindeer remind me of the old Schleich ones, and pershaps there is a bit Safari on the wolf and the fox, but they are NOT copies |

| Andreas have asked it before and Anne from Norway was the first showing one of their figures on foru. However, we are now much better informed than before. I thought they were hollow and they are solide and heavy. They're marked with year, that's nice to know too. Maybe these first sets, are just a non expensive way to they start adventuring in this matter. Sculpts are acceptable but nothing special. One of the things I really dislike with this company is that they are using the same mold in several sets with different painting and, often, representing different species. I am still curious to know what is the fox representing in South American set. It is just a red fox and an Arctic fox on remaining sets where we can find it. Their cards may help us. There's a moose dressed like a fallow deer, an ostrich like a rhea, etc. What I like in this company is that they are just starting and I enjoy their initial concept. I hope they surprise us as Andreas suggests. By the way, when possible, I will create a page on TAI and we will need some pictures. |

| Wenno is a premium line from Shing Hing Toys, thus, that's the reason why we see both names in these boxes. Shing Hing is already widely known on forum as we can see through the links below. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Dogs on Emilia's website [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Considering Percefone Horses are marked "SH" and their card reads Shing Hung, it may probably be the manufacturer we know as SH.... the only doubt is because these are marked with dots "S.H.": [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]It may mean that most of our China unknown models are just Shing Hing. Maybe even [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] |

| Interesting! I did not know they had been around for a little while. When I have a few days off from work, I'll have to take photos of them for TAI. |

| Pardon me for bringing this up again, but this set is pretty neat! As Susanne pointed out, some bear resemblance with some major brand figurines, but overal, they're pretty nice. Of course I love the wolf and fox! Haven't seen any of these sets before. I do own some S.H. marked figurines. Thanks for sharing, Fallon! - Roger wrote:

I'd surely be surprised if they would come up with a crocodile dressed up like a ballerina! |
