Andreas, i won't be at home next days. But if i'm not wrong they are marked DEP... 76. As far as i know there aren't gazelle or seal, though,  orix and sea lion are sold like that. What is marked om yours?

Sorry, i forgot. The seal (i think a cub) is not marked and under the gazelle i cant read with my eyes    But i ask my daughter with her eagle eyes and she read DEP 76  

hurray for your Princess lynx eyes! Wes, we use lynx instead. So it is a Dinamização figure. If it is not the antelope posted om first page, i think you have some exciting news to share with US! pictures please.

Yes later  

I am really happy once I completed my collection of Portuguese Dinamização figures!
Below some comparisons with the British figures from Britains.
Portuguese are those uncolored that are teaching English proverbes to the British ones.

Many thanks Andreas, I am already hunting them!
When we know that a collection is not complete, it is not a sad but a great news! I wished they were more than 1000!
We must find the correct species to that antelope/gazelle, it looks less elegant than other Dinamização figures but as it is marked, there's no doubts about its brand.
The seal needs more investigation but it won't surprise me if it is also a Dinamização as the seller told you.

Many thanks Susanne and Kiki :)

I also like the hunting for figurines but i hope for success- also for you my friend:)

Here is another presentation I've completely overlooked!

They are among the most charismatic older figures I've seen! I would pick favorites, but I can't without looking longer. They're really great discoveries. If I ever came across things like this...well, maybe it's best I don't- I'd be so tempted to paint them...

Andy, let me know if you want some of them. They pop sometimes in Portuguese auction websites.
No problem that you want to paint some of them, mainly those easier to find.

Very nice models and interesting sculpts to!

Hi, Willy
How great to see you back

And great that you brought forward this more then 6 years old topic !
For some strange reason I never saw Roger's wonderful proverbs before

Wonderful to see you Willy. Last night circumnavigation around Britains brought you to this topic what is really great. These Dinamização figures these days are more difficult to find than crazy macaques.
It is a topic from 2013, when I used to be on computer until late hours waiting for Willy's posts before going to sleep. Great days my friend, I hope you recover your animal figures fever, Britains don't take too much room.

Thanks also Susanne for pointing me back to the blue pics with English proverbs, it sounds silly but I had a lot of fun re-reading my own posts.

...real , wonderful crocodile-humour

I like the one under the flamingos: If God had meant us to fly, he would have given us wings. But the Britains flamingo has such small wings that I don't think it can fly even with them. The Dinamização flamingo is very good!

Thanks Rogerio, but no, i started to collect car-models again, American classics from the 1950's and 1960's...
a crazy macaques are not difficult to find, i see one every morning in the mirror, Christophe does the rest...
I am still a nightdweller but busy with other things...

Do the figures of this brand have something written on the belly? MOD DEP 76?
Some time ago a member of the forum showed a painted orix (and the paint looked factory, not amateur...) and I wonder if there is indeed a second brand, besides Gulliver, that sells the painted Dinamizaçao figures...
Does anyone know who showed the orix by the way? I can't find it here...

The collector who unearthed these two little nuggets is Christian Keller. He found them in Alsace or in Germany, I don't know.
There was also a giant panda.
I think the Brazilian brand Casablance also produced Dinamizaçao but I'm not sure.

i don't know anything about the painted versions, I only can confirm the Dinamização figures are marked MOD DEP 76 and I'm sure they're Dinamização since I have the original box.

Ok! Do you have located the post where he uploaded the orix?
Thanks for the info Christophe and Roger! When it comes to vintage you are always quick!
