Roger if you are a species hunter there are MUCH better Ezo fox figures around, out of the whole set it is the weakest figure, its still nice and well worth having to complete the set , but if I can work out how to upload pics easily then you will see what I mean!

Robert, I'm a moderate species hunter and a hard fox hunter, even those very weird!
But of course I will not pay an expensive set to get only a fox. :)
Anyway I'd loved to see pictures of the sets. If you need help posting them you can always pm me! :)

Robert thank you for your comment

Thanks Robert!

You comments is detail & I just placed order for african set series 2 & forest set.

Great site!
Thanks for the link Kenny!

I find those animal figures really cute. Especially those lion cubs are adorable!

And the animals from this series are just too cute! *sucker for japanese figures*

When I visit Japan next time, I must keep my eyes open for them.

Here's an Ebay auction of the capybaras, if you're interested anymore. I came up with them earlier when I searched for Kaiyodo figures.
They're a bit pricey though.

They're very expensive D:

Hi all

I came across a new smaller range of animals produced in China by a company called Re-Ment. They come from East Asia (China/Hong Kong or Japan) and produce a whole range of miniature models, cute animals, cartoon characters and other novelties. These models are placed into little groups and within that group there will be a series of models (Similar to what Choco Furute or Kaiyodo do in Japan):

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

None of the ranges are of interest for us animal collectors apart from a series of smaller wildlife models sold across two different ranges. One is call the 'Re-Ment Big African Animal Story Book' and 'Re-Ment Big Animal Encyclopedia'. Each animal model within either of the two ranges is sold individually in a small metallic foil type bag. The Encyclopedia series models are in a non visible bag and sold as a blind packet meaning whenever you buy one you dont know what animal is going to be inside:

Both ranges are cute for kids and adults and there are no rare species included, just the usual animals. Basically its a range of over 16 models split across two different series. You have to buy each packet seperately and some of the animals come with an extra little accessory like a pool or plant which is really cool:

So I ordered one model from each series and I have received the elephant and the gorilla with baby. The scales are smaller than schleich but not too small. I absolutely love the elephant, it is quite detailed and actually looks like a young adult with the smallert tusks. I have taken photos of him alongside the recently discontinued African Elephants from Schleich and he fits in perfectly scale wise! He completes the set and moreimportantly is made from the same plastic and is the same shade as the adults! So now you can have a proper set of four African elephants!

I havent removed the gorilla from his packet yet but I will post photos later. Again, the models are smaller than schleich but they are not small like the Japanese Kaiyodo figures. I suppose some would fit in with our Schleich models like the elephant.

That's very nice youngster, congrats
Too bad you can't know what you're buying

Ohhhhh

WOW ! What a wonderful young elefant for your flock

They look like really nice quality, too

Thankyou VERY much for telling about this new brand

Congrats Numaan! These are from Japan. But made in China !

To me I specially love the African elephant and the proportion seen to be right and well details. And I purchased it was a set of 8 for wildlife series 1 and 2 directly from Japan.

New brands are always welcome.
I like their landsape items - pool, trees, grass. Have you held them in your hands, Numaan?

Wonderful models but at the moment not so interesting species for me.

Very nice animals Numaan! Congratulations Elephant is beautiful and flamingos are on my wish list

Thanks for this lot of information,Numaan!
The Elephant seems very nice,not too small and not too big,it really fits perfectly as a sub-adult.

Vivien you took the words right out of mouth. He is great to be in a herd because he is sub-adult looking and it is more realistic within a herd. The flamingos and zebra foal look great too.

Congratulations Numaan, these are lovely, I especially like the flamingos!

Just purchased the sub adult elephant off Ebay! I had a knee-jerk reaction to getting him!

HI all

I have only personally bought the elephant and the gorilla. I didnt know which models I would get as I couldnt specify it on the website i ordered it from. Although i know some sellers sell the whole set in one go if you google online.

I havent touched the other animals or seen them but given that the gorilla and Elephant are well sculpted and detailed I am sure the other are really nice. Yes I REALLY like the pool and tall grass that come with some of the models. I hope one of our famous brands can make some of these. It would be soo great.

Anyway I just took some photos of the gorilla with baby. The baby is removable and just sits on the head of the mother. The mother is almost the same size and scale as the new schleich gorillas! I am surprised! I attached all photos below.

As for the elephant it is meant to be an adult as they have also made a baby but with the short tusks and size in comparison to schleich it just looks like a teenager or sub-adult. A very nice surprise to find some models that fit in exactly with current schleich. Enjoy:

Thanks for showing Numaan, we already have in the forum some enthusiasts of the brand! :)
As a curious of brands I hope someday to find one of them, maybe the flamingo?
The idea of a removable gorilla is very good and they look nice enough!

Yes your right Roger. Shame that they wont make more animals, it just looks like a specific set of animals made for a small series and thats it.....maybe they will make a third set, lets wait and see. The flamingos do look great.

Congratulation Numaan, both are very interesting models with a very good size. Thanks a lot for sharing pics

Congrats Numaan :) They are lovely. I specially like walking giraffe :)

...Thank Numaan for pics! The interesting new brand! Our dear friends Lucky Luke, Robert and Jarda already did talk about it here [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
