Can someone help with the identification of these elk models?

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I searched on Animal Wiki and I found the Vitacup Ivorine animal series here:

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

BUT two issues:

1. The Vitacup series are not German and these stags have 'Made in Germany' written on them.
2. The Vitacup model is smaller and looks less detailed and exquisite unlike the ones shown above which appear bigger with clearer, finer detailing and finish.

Any ideas?

thank you

Thanks Christophe, the one in your photo matches looks exactly like the one!  Thank you for this and boy are you clever in finding this..... Very Happy Very Happy

How comes there's no information about this range or the company Simex on Animal Wiki? Shame

Below are some photos of a 'cheaper' looking version that is probably copied from the design above.......

are these your models Numa ? They look stunning!!


I really like how they have a 'wood carved' effect yet are made of plastic!

the cheaper versions have less pronounced 'carving' on them.



This has to be one of my favourite stag poses and I have a couple different versions of the same model, but I love the heavily carved style the most.

One is a very old figure in brown. I will take photos in the daylight hopefully tomorrow.

Another are the tiny vitacups in ivorine that you mentioned

And I just got a couple that look like they are 3D printed. The plastic is very very light (not hollow) and slightly bendy and some of the finer detailing is missing. No make on them.

TAW is made by a few collectors, that means fewer workers than work to do.

The other reasons is SIMEX is unknown and we don't have pictures.
