I really knew a few of these figures but I couldn't sort them correctly. Namely these tapirs. I also didn't know that the brand of the beautiful Chinese animals is called Naturalism. Their models have a high quality finish, I even thought the pvc used was a kind of polyresin. The way they are boxed follow the same high quality standards. I didn't know about the other series of this brand.
It is being really exciting, many thanks for your precious contributions.

Wow, so Naturalism actually made all these models ...
Thank you very much for all these information
You are doing a great job informing us I hope we don`t make you crazy , asking so many questions

So it's better to call this brand Naturalism instead Natural History as I have in my signature??

It's a bit strange to see the CollectA's chiru being sold as CBIOV. The other two species are genuinely from them I think (I own both)

Naturalism's logo. I don't think Naturalism is good translation. The logo Chinese means Natural History Small Museum.

Do you know what the connection between Kaiyodo and Miyage is? Many of the figures in this photo were (also?) produced by Kaiyodo. The Ueno Zoo panda is Kaiyodo, but I just discovered that the leaflet below also says Figure Miyage and Kenelephant:

At first Kaiyodo made the Miyage Big Show series in 2003, later it made Figure Miyage series collaboration with Kenelephant in 2012. Figure Miyage series designed by Kaiyodo, Kenelephant was responsible for planning and sales. So it’s right that it belongs to Kaiyodo or Kenelephant.

Thank you, that explains it! Which figures are in the Miyage Big Show series?
