Manley Toys Animal + Insect World 1990

Manley Toys Ltd. founded 1973 still exists 2020 but I can not open the website. ([You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
1990 I got a selling catalog on the Nurenberg Toy Fair. I cut the catalog in parts. I only left the sides with figures.
Here my scans of the pages 140-150.
Enjoy!

I believe i have never seen this antelope before

Thank you, so many interesting catalogues that you have!

Another great contribution to the forum! I like the wild animals that are all unknown to me. Painting is relatively poor but sculpts are alright. Is the antelope an impala? Hard to see from my phone screen.

Great contribution ! Thank you. At last we can't put a company behind some "unknown manufacturers" models

maybe...a lot of these have been copied and recopied and who knowns what came first and what's a copy. Among the insects, some of these are clearly Toy Major designs...

I thought the same as Christophe, but Blaine is right, - it is hard to know what is the original

Still, SO wonderful to see this catalogue !!! Thankyou ever so much

The animals in the first pictures are models that we always call "unknown brands". I own some of them, I´m sure they are marked "made in Chin", but I have to verify that. As Blaine said, I´m sure that those models are made by several companies - vintage (Britains) and China.

The set with the deer is also known as "China models". You can get this set often in Toyshops or as "awards" on funfairs
