...But maybe it is early version Nayab,s elephant, Willy? I say it because I,ve bought this elephant in one set (box) with well known "as Nayab" giraffe, rhino, gorilla, tiger... Maybe Torben know everything about this elephant.

You really have an eye for spotting them

Cool Sergey... I have animals by this brand but in my country it´s ZOOLANDIA I love that gazelle, rhino, giraffe and flamingo

Love those rabbits

Congratulation Anna

I stopped using the TGF toys because the shipping fees were really outrageous. Did you have the same problem ?

By the way, the orangutan baby and meerkat are Chap mei models

The small gliptodon from British museum is an INVICTA

Yes, the shipping cost alost gave me a heartattack, but I had two reasons for living with it.

First, I have never found any other site with that much animals from that many brands (If any of you know another site with large range and lower shipping, please let me know).
And second, the US dollar is pretty low right now, so the animals were realy cheap for me and it would have been a realy good buy it it wasnt for the shipping.

And thanx for the help on the baby animals

Ooh Anna that is fantastic! You are even crazier than me 50 new animals... wow!
And BTW... that elephant is really... EW!

Haha, I know, he´s sooo ugly

I accually think it was closer to 60 new animals in the order.

And that was just that order. Apart from them, I also bought about 300-400 other animals

I found some interesting animals at the end of the year, apart from the major brands.

I think these are a little older. I love the horses, they have a very special feeling to them
When I bought the moose, I thought that it maybe was a elastolin. But when I got it, it had a very hard, hollow feeling. felt more like an old made in china, but I still like it alot

Too big and hollow, but the kangaroo is pretty nice

Any suggestions?

Really lovely set of bernese mountain dogs!

I like them all, but mostly the horses!

taos; Yes, they are realy lovely I also have a pair of collies and dalmations that I at least think is from the same brand

remowshake; The horses are my favorites to, love both how they feel an how they look. It was realy a lucky find

Those horses, moose and sheep, - they look fantastic
And the crocodile, - just the kind I love. So charming.

Why, there is nothing whatsoever wrong with "made in China" in my humble opinion

The last croc looks very much like the AAA croc-baby that I have. Is it the same material ?

the moose look fantastic and horse too!

is the dog is from keenway if I am not wrong?

The Moose is Preiser Elastolin, it is the 1/25 scale serie. When HAUSSER ELASTOLIN closed down in 1983, PREISER bought the mold, so those models are still in production now.

WILD REPUBLIC models

NAYAB... China

Kikimalou is right so far...
The moose can be Preiser Elastolin, but can be Hausser Elastolin too, as they made some hollowcast hardplastic in their last years too!
In that case the moose must have written Elastolin under it, or was packed in a plastic bag with a carton card, on which Hausser Elastolin was printed...
The pony on the left side of the same pic is Hausser Elastolin, so called soft plastic in the 70mm(or 1:25 scale) series.
The other horses are from the 54mm(1:32 scale) series, but are somewhat bigger then the normal horses in the 54mm series.
They are all produced in the 1970's, the moose in the late 1980's or 1990's...

Christoph and me do have the same koala, which is from Wild Republic China indeed.
As we do have the Nayab crocodile too, which was sold under many brand-names, but was manufactured by Nayab China indeed.

Congrats on all these new additions Anna!

Yes, really nice find! Congratulations Anna!

Hey, I have that croc! Mine came in a boxed set with a hippo, which was what made me buy it in the first place. Really a nice model, very alert-looking.
The rest of the models are great too - I especially love the pony and moose!

Welcome Anna! :)
It is hard to define some models sometimes...
The way your moose is painted, he still could be a Hausser Elastolin, the Preiser Elastolins are more brightly coloured in many cases.
Here is my moose:
