Nice fishes Fallon. But are you sure that they are Club Earth? I know Club Earth very similar like Play Visions but these figurines i have as cheap chinese figures without the specie names :)

Thanks for opening this topic, Fallon! I hope you can find #3 and #10.
These figures are very beautiful! As Susanne pointed, these are too well painted to be those regular China figures we know from almost all Club Earth or Play Visions sets. They are also nubered and species marked and it is often an evidence that they belong to a branded set. I would love to see the cheap China versions, namely these two missing in this topic, thus, we could try to guess, at least, the species. #5 was already listed on Club Earth Sea Animals series, so, I am not sure it belongs to both. It is important to tell that Beatrice is an expert grouping these figures in series. She pays atention to all details, from the way they are painted, manufactured or even the lettering used to get them marked. :)

Yes, these are Club Earth. I consulted with Beatrice and she believes these are Club Earth too. The species names are on all these figures as well as the series number. (You can actually see the speices names on each of these in the photos if you zoom in.) As Susanne said, the paint work is entirely too nice to be just the cheap China figures.

I think I know the similar cheap china set you are talking about though. Beatrice has the same set but as you said, none of hers have the names or anything and the paint work isn't as good. Very Happy

Btw. the missing fish are probably these species, a butterfly fish and a blue powder tang, but I have only the cheap copy, so this picture is just showing the type not the Club Earth fishes. I hope you will find them one day (and I hope I will find the whole set ;-) )

As far as I know Toy Major always has marked its animals with the usual TM in oval and a year (have the butterflies and they are definitely marked).
But it is possible that TM also copied this set (like they copied the CE butterflies, too)

Oh wow...did not know Toy Major also copied this set! Thanks for the picture btw! I will keep my eyes peeled for the nicer painted versions of those two. Very Happy

Congrats! I'm very happy that you have found the missing ones cheers

Now that you have found the CE originals and posted the pictures one can see very clearly the enourmous painting quality difference (and also fin structure)
