| You are more than welcome to Jill. :) I actually have a spare, would you like me to reserve it for you? No rush of course. _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

| Now I see the blue belly is marked B while the similar one on TAW is marked A. Do you want to drive me crazy? These frogs are really a mistery. |

Absolutely, any duplicate W.N. frogs you don't need I am interested in. :) Thanks! |

| A few news about World Nature, I found a Funrise box called ‘Reptile collection’ with 12 WN frogs inside. Like the ones in this topic, they use moulds copied from the ‘Club Earth Frogs to Go’ moulds. They are numbered from A to L with colourings and species sometimes different from those already presented here. I'm in charge of TAW now. There is still some unidentifed frogs in the batch. Any ideas ? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

| I can't help with identifying these species unfortunately, I have several of them and to me they seem like just random color and pattern choices. But I think it's great that W.N. is turning up more in other collections and that more little pieces of the information puzzle surface now and then. |

| So there is a connection between these W.N. frogs and funrise? That's really great to know. It would be much simpler if they were marked W.M. so it could suggest Wing Mau which was the manufacturer transversal to most of these North American brands. It is really hard to tell the species represented. Apparently they tried every single color combination. |

| What is symptomatic of the probable era was the confusion. This Funrise box contained W.N. frogs, TM lizards and smaller MiC lizards. W.N. frogs do resemble W.M. frogs, but the latter were of much better quality.

| Yes, it is like the ELC sets with tin boxes containing ELC and AAA figures together. I also think some Wild Republic tubes, especially the lower quality ones, are mixing figures of different manufacturers. It is interesting and part of the business but terribly complex for a TAW editor. |
