They are a wonderful flock

I think there are at least 3 different sets there, but am no expert at all

well, I'm not an expert too. NEW RAY is still a mysterious brand on STS 

I bought these up the post office when i was a kid. I remember getting these figures in two sets, i think one set had more than the other.
Thanks to everyone for their help with this so far.

This serie of New Ray was sold in diffrent kind of sets. Basically it was called "Zoo park" but as i remembered they were also sold in single blister packs.

Set 1:
Tiger
Python
Gorilla
Polar bear
Black leopard (panhter)

Set 2:
Rhinoceros
Koala
Moose
Anteater
Wolf

Set3:
Gnu (Wildebeest)
Panda
Elephant
Antelopes (Eg Gazelles)
Lioness

Set 4:
Horse + hunter (eh, with camera...)
Fox (with young)
Hippopotamus
Two rabbits, two Squirrels and two racoons on a piece of land

Set 5:
Lion
Zebra with foal
Kangaroo
Wild boar with piglet
Camel

Set 6:
Brown bear
Chimpanzee family
Giraffe
Wild horse
Lizard

They are all roughly 1:32 scale, some is good, (ex Wildebeest, Wolf) same bd (Camel, rhino).
The coulors differs a lot from diffrent sets, some are ok some terrible.

Later on they relaesed family groups of Cheetah with 4 cubs, White tiger with cubs, and as I remember Wild boar with piglets, fox with puppys and maybe something else.

The also made farm animals att that time, now they merly makes hunting sets, some of that animals are nice. And I think it was New Ray who made some horse jumping sets I have got similar to Britains show jumping set from the 60:s.

There are other modern chinese makers like Tim which ha a nice set with a deer family, wild boars, squirrels and hares + sets with farm animals.

I realize I'm adding nothing of value here, but: OMG! Hippo on the move! :DIs this the first hippo model that isn't standing still and/or yawning?

Hello, Lennard

Long time no see !

Great overview of the New Ray-sets, thankyou very much 

Thanks for the info Lennart, i hope i come across the other sets some day.

I have quite a few New Ray Animal sets including some that are mentioned already.I also have some of the farm animal sets that they made.They seemed to available alot in the 1990s and 2000s but then seemed to vanish!They are sometimes on Ebay Uk but as somenone mentioned the make wildlife/hunting sets and also quite a number of horse/farm/rodeo sets but they tend only to be available in the USA.

Hi Taos, could you upload some photos of your sets please, i would love to see more of these animals.

Here is a selection of some of the models made by New Ray.

Thanks for the photos, they all look great. I have one of the cows that's in one of the photos but mine has what looks to be Chinese painted on the sides.

Thanks Taylor for all these pictures! I wwished I had the foxes. Is the rhino the same size as the Britains rhino?

Lots of interesting ones there, some of the groups are different than you see often and remind me of the old Britains.

Very interesting topic

Since it is about New Ray animals, I moved it to the NEW RAY section

I have these wildlife sets too
But a lot of them are in a not so good condition, cause as a child, I played a lot with them. So some of them have a lack of ears, the antilopes aren´t stick on the ground. Leguan has lost his ground and the panda has lost his food

Here is the additional and later sets I wrote about above:

Wild boars; New ray to the right, Britains, chinese (?) Elastolin & Marolin to left:

Another Chinese brands version of Wild boar family, this set had Deer,s squirels and rabbits too.

Thanks also for your contribution Lennart! That is very interesting!

Lennart... You CLAIRET cheetah is so rare it is the first time I see one      In think it is a leopard.

The CLAIRET cheetah is this one

And your "Chinese" wild boar is a Japanese YUJIN made in 2002.

Kikimalou: You are probably right about the Clairet cat, its build more like a cheetah, some figures are actually not so great modelled... I'm not really sure that it is a Clairet, but the material feels like it.

Didn't know its was rare, I'm not good at Clairet, is there a cataloque somewhere?

Are You sure about the wild boar being japanese? I don't now where I've got it but probably in a lot. Never seen any japanese animals sold in Sweden.

I think it is a CLAIRET, it is a so typical pose  

Unfortunately no catalogues are known from this old brand

This model was made for PV and used also by YUJIN   Here is mine

Aha, but is there a difference between PV (Playvison?) and Yujin cause I have some PV:s?

Mine is marked Hog boar China, but it looks like mine except that Yours is better painted.

YUJIN are often better painted than PVs... About mine, it is marked YJ 2002 CHINA - Japanese Wild Boar

The CLAIRET cheetah is this one

I am not an expert with these figures as you are but it is very interesting to me once I love these rare and little stylized vintage figures. I watched on Willy's collection once the first Clairet figure Lennart is showing looks much more a cheetah than a leopard to me but of course it can be illusive due to the lack of accuracy of these figures.
I have found this leopard in Willy's collection and this one I am sure is a leopard.

It is a leopard and it is a CLAIRET   This mold was also used by WENDAL and MARX TOYS... CLAIRET touch' rules  

Lennart's lying one is also a CLAIRET, I have no doubt about this. The company made also nearly the same tiger.

Well, we are far from NEW RAY isn't it ?
