Another Giant Anteater, but no Clairet i think, but i guess Christophe can help me out here...

Congratulation Willy I guess the last anteater could be a Cyrnos.

Ok my friend, thank you! I think you could be right!

Those are really, really lovely

Congrats Willy! Always showing curious figures! it's always nice to see anteaters, my favo animals! I see these figures are also very small! :)

I see it also in Kikis collection, i think clairet is not bad, i need anything!!!!!

Thank you Susanne, Rogerio and Andreas!

No, these figurines are not small Rogerio!
The modern brands are to big, haha, and take to much room in our cabinets, and they are not even in the same scale to!
A big hurray for the 1:32 figurines from me!

Ahah! Hurray!!!
So those are also 1:32 scale figures! Remember that I'm a new collector and my interest for animal figures was born under the influence of large modern figures! I understand your point when I see some Deluxe from Bullyland, also some AAA and even the large Safari, I confess I don't feel confortable with such large animals!
Now that I own some more Britains I need to confess that is nice to see the way the figures fit with each other and how fun would be to play with other brands making in the same scale!

Congratulations Willy

So, even without a Clairet in my collection I must admit that they are wonderful!

Yes, the Clairets are very nice indeed, they have a kind of slenderness over them, very refined in some way...

When were Clairet pieces available in stores?

Available in France from the end of the WW2 to the end of the 1960's.
