| Yesterday I found these little lot of animals of four elephants and their frient the camel on Ebay Kleinanzeigen Germany. Below you see the pictures from the seller on Ebay Kleinanzeigen. I was mainly interested in the middle elephant No. 1 with the colourful luggage and the camel No. 5 on the first photo. But who were the producers? The brands ? Unfortunately, the seller could not give any information. So I could only guess. I was very sure about the manufacturers of the camel No. 5, the smallest elephant No.4 and the elephant with luggage No.1, although I had some doubts for camel No. 5. But who was the manufacturer of the other elephants No. 2 and No. 3 ? The large wild elephant No. 3 is interesting! It´s unusually large figure with an interesting structure. It could be bigger as the elephant by Vanishing Wild ? It is probably not a composition figure because of the size, perhaps a figure made of plastic ? Is there a manufacturer ? What´s about No. 2 ? Plastic or composition or what else ? In the meantime the mystery has been solved for me - the package arrived today already in my house today. What would you say ? Are they all plastic animals, are there mass animals ? Who could be the manufacturer ? Well, a little quiz - it´s your turn now, who are the manufacturers, if there are any ? Plastic or composition animal ? No. 1. Elephant with luggage in middle size No. 2. Elephant in brown with trunk upwards No. 3. Elephant, biggest one with kind of saddle No. 4. Elephant small No. 5. The only camel [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] I only keep elephant No. 1 and the camel. The other ones are looking for a new home. _________________ Yvette

| Hallo Yvette, herzlichen glückwunsch zu dem, was sie gefunden haben. Ich frage google nach "Elefant with baggage" und das ist es, was ich gefunden habe. Elefant mit Gepäck sind Krippenfiguren oder Figuren für Feng Shui. Nr. 1 scheint ein Elefant von MAROLIN zu sein. Nr. 2 scheint ein Elefant im Sinne des Feng Shui zu sein. Nr. 3 könnte Chap Mei sein. Benno.
When I want to determine an animal figure I use google picture-search. Therefore I need a picture of the site of the animal or a typical position of the animal. Then I open google picture-search and upload the picture of the animal what I want to determine and google show me some pictures of nearly the same picture. |

| Yes, I would say that the one with the luggage could be Marolin , and the one to the right Chap Mei no2 looks like it is made from wood ? no 4 must be plastic , could it be the Schleich one from 2012 [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] ? is the camel with fuzzy surface ? It looks wonderful - well, they all look wonderful |

| It seems our friends guessed them all. Why I didn't think about Chap Mei if I was sure it was an action figure? Apparently it takes batteries and makes some noises. However, there's always the Chap Mei and the Animal Planet versions and their features may not be the same. |

| Wonderful models, and lovely additions to your collection! I wish I knew more, but I suspect if I tried to guess it would probably be wrong! The elephant and camel are beautiful models! |

| Thank you very much for your advices dear friends. You are really good at identifying figures. Above I showed the photos of the seller. Now I had time to take my own pictures and here is the solution of the quiz. 1. No. 1. Elephant with luggage in middle size. - Babdo wrote:
- Nr. 1 scheint ein Elefant von MAROLIN zu sein.
- Susanne wrote:
- ...the one with the luggage could be Marolin
Right, it´s a composition animal by Marolin. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]No. 2. Elephant in brown with trunk upwards. - Babdo wrote:
- Nr. 2 scheint ein Elefant im Sinne des Feng Shui zu sein.
and - Susanne wrote:
- is made from wood
I could not guess this elephant from the seller's photos. It´s made of plastic, but in a "wood look" probably from the "Feng Shui corner" of a furniture store. It has no brand. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]No. 3. Elephant, biggest one with kind of saddle. - Taos wrote:

That's right Roger, he trumpets ! You are right again. Elephant is Chap Mei. It is the Action figure by Chap Mei from Jungle Adventure Treasure Hunt Playset. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]. No. 4. Elephant small - Susanne wrote:
- ....could it be the Schleich one from 2012 [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] ?
That´s right, Susanne! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]No. 5. The only camel. It´s the old Elastolin camel around 1930. - Bonnie wrote:
- ...and camel are beautiful models!
Thanks, when I saw the Camel in the photos, I suspected it was the Elastolin Camel around 1930, but wasn't 100% sure. So now I am particularly happy. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] - landrover wrote:

Thanks Fernando. They are all interesting figures. But I only bought the lot because of the Marolin elephant and the Camel. The other elephants are now looking for a new home. - Babdo wrote:

That's basically how I do it, but I couldn´t find the Chap Mei elephant. _________________ Yvette

| Oh, now I can see how beautiful is that Bactrian camel!!! It is also impressive the elephants comparison, Schleich suddenly seems smaller than ever. Even Marolin is such a big boy to not talk about the giant chap. |

| Thank you, Roger. I like the camel also because of its beautiful fur texture. Indeed, the Schleich elephant looks like a dwarf among all the larger ones. The Marolin elephant seems a little bit big for a composition animal. But that's because of the luggage. This figure is often used for Christmas cribs and nativity scenes. Here you see the Elastolin camel and Marolin elephant together with his friends by Pfeiffer/Elastolin. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] _________________ Yvette
