I like these figures, even if they're not the most realistic, they're made with love.
Strips are almost artistic,, the tail brush turned upwards and the way the right hind leg is posed give a special touch to this model.

I like them too because they are witnesses of my childhood. Everytime I see any of them, it reminds me of that store that does not exist anymore and where I found so many great toys...

Hello,
here are some of my Zebrasss:
OMO, 2x unknown and not marked.

The smaller one looks like a cheap and smaller copy of the Chialu compo one, it is an amazing find 

Especially the smaller one are interesting

I love the OMO zebra so much ! There are a few 1/32d models of zebras that are impressive in many ways, however I feel the OMO has a special energy about it. It is such a clean beautiful sculpt with very elegant lines. I've seen this in different colourways too.

and that kicking zebra is just gorgeous! I love how the back leg is shaped wonderfully.

what a joy to see these models! thank you Benno !

Hello,
I found a black zebra made in Singapor.
This zebra is made of black plastic with some grey/white colour points.

I think I like best the black version. It looks a bronze statue.

Benno, are you sure the one on the right is a Britains Ltd ? I have a doubt

Hello Kikimalou,
thank you for your question.
I give you following answer:
the zebra on the right side is the BRITAINS Ltd. zebra which was produced until ~1972 and this zebra was/is copied by the asian companies.
Because of this circumstance the company BRITAINS Ltd. created a new zebra, see picture below.
BRITAINS Ltd. changed many more of their animals in the 70years.

I know the two Britains zebra Benno, the Pre-1972 was the copy of the Hollowcast lead one but on your first pics the front legs of the Right corner zebra look different from the Britains.

Hello Kikimalou,
your comment is alright!!!
The zebra on the right side seems to be a copy of the BRITAINS zebra.
Thank you for hind!
Benno.
Below you see all the zebra we speak about.

I really like that black zebra! What a wonderful find :)

the zebra with the red eyes is a copy of the older model of the earlier model Britains zebra (the 3rd one along, which is thin in appearance)
The last zebra (on the right), is the most recent Britains zebra. Fat and round and very zebra like

I have many brown, black and white versions of this black zebra, some without any mark.

 I thought it maybe was an hemione! :)

Seriously, I'm telling you that you get figures of all kinds that are interesting.

very interesting zebras Leo, congratulations!
what are the 2 white pinky ones I have marked in your photo? Do you know the make? I really like their pose, I've never seen this model before.

I'm not sure if the brand was produced by Nayab or Toy major or another At the end of the 90's or 00's but as a child they gave me a bag with those zebras And other animals that are the small replica of the animals that Toy Major produced at the Fina gas station, I have the lion, lioness, elephant, rhinoceros, hippopotamus, tiger, cheetah and wild boar baboon.

They are Toy Major minis, they often don't show brand markings.
