Thank you. I dont know that figure before the hornbill found me (on Facebook). I got a offer :)

Lucky you, I spent hours on spanish websites to find one and I failed.

That’s a very special find, Andreas! Some Jecsan are really rare and even in Spanish sources it is not easy to find them. Christophe tried it without luck and you’ve got it without even searching. Collecting is like that. Jecsan, Lafredo, Pech Hermanos and many other vintage Spanish brands are very interesting and still almost anonymous.

Yes it is too bad because they produced some jewels for vintage collectors.

Thank you. I think not only vintage spanish brands are often anonymous. At the moment i wish to know more about (mostly Hongkong) any other vintage brands.

You have some more examples, especially for a specie collector

I will ask the collector from Spain, if he can find a another figure too.

Here's my only one for this category, a Schleich toucan I bought yeeeeears ago when I'd gone into the shop for horse models to repaint and just couldn't resist getting one of these as well!

I have considered this one as a mate to the newer one but it has become too expensive for what I'm ready to spend on a mate (ie, not a new species).

What a lovely toucan, Andreas

George, I love that old Schleich model !!!

Two wonderful Toucans!
