The last cat for the Cats to Go set, #10 Somali

I found some of these cats and I am curious about them as well! Mine do not have a breed and origin (even an incorrect one) on the bottom, only 1990 Made in China New-Ray Novelty and a number (except one). I also notice TAW has all the breeds listed. Do we know which unpictured breed goes with which cat?

Here's what the bottom looks like.

So, you think now this Alsatian you received is the genuine figure of the early Wild Republic Dog tube

Yes, it matches the set and also the dog I can see inside the tube in the catalogue

- Bbefore editing, let me check first. I should remove the Alaskan on TAW which is eventually a knock-off of the legite Alsatian of that tube.

Probably. Right now, my "knock off set" are the ones pictured on TAW (except Paige's Boxer which is also on the Boxer page). I don't understand which one is "real" though, because they are all so similar, and both sets have figures that match the catalogue page in color. Maybe both small and large versions should be listed on each, the way the Boxers currently are? Or not?

OK, I understand now they're both Alsatians. It is marked with [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], very useful info because it is consistent with the numbering we see on early horses and sharks by Wild Republic. Is it the Alsatian knock-off also numbered? What about the other dogs already uploaded on the TAW page I'm linking? Could you check if they have numbers too?

The smaller "knock-offs" and the larger "probably originals" do have some numbers, but they are not as easy to figure out as hoped:

- Large Great Dane (Fawn): 3
- Large Great Dane (Harlequin): No number that I could find but I would assume a 3 also
- Large St. Bernard: a backward 5 maybe?? Or a really weird 2?
- Large Doberman: 8
- Large Schnauzer: No number that I could find
- Large Alsatian: 10
- Large Boxer: A number I for the life of me cannot decipher. Maybe an 8 but it doesn't look like the other 8 and it doesn't seem to be quite symmetrical.

- Small Great Dane (Harlequin): 3
- Small Boxer: Backward 2? Backward 7?
- Small Schnauzer: No number that I could find
- Small St. Bernard: Same strange shape that might be a 2 or a 5
- Small Alsatian: No number that I could find

Not a very helpful turnout, I'm afraid. I feel like I am muddying the waters more than clearing them with these finds.  [You must be [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to see this image.]  [You must be [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to see this image.]

Step by step you keep finding some more informations. Though, I edit so many sections that I get lost even if I've read again the whole topic.

Before adding these and since you are checking them carefully.
Do you think I should list #1, #2, #10 with this black #4 and #11 as Play Visions minis while the other marked with numbers as Club Earth To Go as long as the mistery is not solved?
I was listing the numbered as Club Earth while those marked China as Play Visions but probably it makes more sense the other way round because those you call Play Visions match the catalogue and it is a Play Visions catalogue after all.

Thank you, Roger! I have come across quite a few of those Putz figures in flea markets and antique shops through the years. It is surprising not many people seem to know about them given for as common as they seem to be. In all honesty, Putz was the first composition figure company I learned about. I had no clue other brands of these composition figures existed until I joined here. [You must be [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to see this image.]

And after learning about Lineol...oh my, I couldn't stop picking up their wolves everytime I saw one! [You must be [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to see this image.] (And I can't be certain I'm finished in doing so yet!)

Although I did indeed get the CE Anise Swallowtail, I didn't picture it with the group above since I had promised to trade it to Beatrice. It was the only one she was missing from her set. If she hasn't already, I know she will be adding the photo on T.A.I. [You must be [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to see this image.]

As for all those TM butterflies, I am sure Blaine will be of great assistance there as he is now the new owner of all of them. [You must be [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to see this image.] He expressed interest in them when I offered the CE Black Widow spider he had been looking for and decided they would be better appreciated in his collection than my own.

Good news! The elusive #3 and #10 CE Tropical Fish have been found!

#3 Threadfin Butterflyfish


#10 Powder Blue Surgeon

Wonderful! This little Schleich dino belongs to a small group of dinosaurs that really excites me. I love it, it has a wonderful expression and, apparently, it is not as inaccurate as most Schleich dinos.
Susanne, you never resist to a ceratopsian, even if it is not as fancy as most of them. Also, as you show, the parrot lizard as it is known, is a common presence in your collection.
Well, I made a little research about the Psittacosaurus as a toy and here goes a possible chronology.

1923
The genus Psittacosaurus, is described, for the first time, by Henry Fairfield Osborn.

1984
Starlux releases, what is probably, the first toy figure of a psittacosaurus. Maurice Massat was the sculptor.

1987
Playskool Definitely Dinos psittacosaurus is released for 2nd series

1992
Funrise includes a Psittacosaurus in their Jurassic Age Authentic Dinosaur Collection

1998 or before
Play Visions releases a bulk of 24 small colorful dinosaurs, Psittacosaurus is [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. These same moulds are likely the same we know from Panini or Mech.

1999
Safari Ltd, in colaboration with the Carnegie Museum, introduces a Psittacosaurus in its Carnegie collection, Forest Rogers is the sculptor.

2000-2001
Salvat Editorial launches a series of 40 Dinosaurs with respective fascicles, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is Psittacosaurus, largely inspired on Carnegie figure

2004
Kaiyodo releases a limited edition of a hatching Psittacosaurus for Dinosaurs Expo 2004.

2005
Palaenthologists found one individual with preserved long quills on the tail, and also preserved scales of varying sizes and shapes across the rest of the body. Some coloration evidences too. It changed how Psittacosaurus were portraied since then, namely the tail.

2009

Obviously there are some more that I am not aware and others that I haven't listed like the Capcom-expo psittacosaurus or the Oriental Trading Co., marked as Iguanodon! [You must be [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to see this image.]

Thanks for opening this topic, Fallon! I hope you can find #3 and #10.
These figures are very beautiful! As Susanne pointed, these are too well painted to be those regular China figures we know from almost all Club Earth or Play Visions sets. They are also nubered and species marked and it is often an evidence that they belong to a branded set. I would love to see the cheap China versions, namely these two missing in this topic, thus, we could try to guess, at least, the species. #5 was already listed on Club Earth Sea Animals series, so, I am not sure it belongs to both. It is important to tell that Beatrice is an expert grouping these figures in series. She pays atention to all details, from the way they are painted, manufactured or even the lettering used to get them marked. :)

Recently came into possession of two animal figure lots from eBay. One had the Club Earth Butterflies and this one...Club Earth Tropical Fish!

Here are photos of them in numerical order:

#1 Flame Angelfish

#2 Red-Headed Butterflyfish

#3 Threadfin Butterflyfish

#4 Copper-Band Butterflyfish

#5 Scythe-Marked Butterflyfish

#6 Long-Nosed Butterflyfish

#7 Common Clownfish

#8 Moorish Idol

#9 Regal Tang

#10 Powder Blue Surgeon

#11 2-Banded Anemonefish

#12 Black-Tailed Humbug

An overview of some butterfly figurines as French Feves!

After recently reading about a porcelain French feve figure on the DTB, I decided to investigate and see if I could find insects in this medium. As it turns out there are a lot of butterflies (and a few moths)! I do not know the exact manufacturer of any of these, unfortunately, but I figured the Reviews section was still the best place to highlight them.

Feves (there is an accent there but I haven’t figured out how to make them yet…) are French porcelain figurines designed to be put into Mardi Gras epiphany cakes! They are quite small (the butterflies below are 2-3 cm across their widest points) and quite charming. Some are more realistic than others. Nearly all appear to be clearly modeled after actual species.

I bought some belonging to three different sets. No idea if these are complete or not. Those marked with an asterisk (*) are new species for my insect collection.

Set 1:
These are more realistic of all those shown here. They depict lepidopterans from all over the world! Four of them are new species for me. When I first saw the set online, I attempted to apply species names based on the pic. When the figures arrived today, they actually had the Latin or French names on the underside and I was happy I had them all correct, except for [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] which I initially didn’t have a clue on.

1. blue pansy, Junonia orithya*
2. scarce bamboo page, Philaethria dido*
3. common postman, Heliconius melpomene*
4. cecropia moth, Hyalophora cecropia
5. Old World swallowtail, Papilio machaon
6. paper kite, Idea leuconoe
7. monarch, Danaus plexippus
8. common blue morpho, Morpho peleides (although this is the coloration of the underside!)
9. European peacock, Aglais io
10. blue peacock, Papilio arcturus* (could this be the unknown swallowtail in the Steal Street set?)

Set 2:
These figures all have their French names painted on the bases (which is good, because it made identifying them easier—they are not as realistic as the previous batch!). All of them represent European (and presumably, French) species, which is nice to get a geographically-specialized set! The French names below are what is printed on the figures, I supply their English and Latin names. Three of them are new species for me.

1. La Goutte de sang (cinnabar moth, Tyria jacobaeae)*
2. Le Bronze (small copper, Lycaena phlaeas)
3. Le Monarque (monarch, Danaus plexippus)
4. Le Citron (common brimstone, Gonepteryx rhamni)
5. Le Robert-le-Diable (comma, Polygonia c-album)*
6. L’ Azure Commun (common blue, Polyommatus icarus)*
7. Le Demi-Deuil (marbled white, Melanargia galathea)
8. Le Grande Apollon (mountain Apollo, Parnassius apollo)
9. Le Peon de jour (European peacock, Aglais io)
10. Le Grand Porte-Queue (Old World Swallowtail, Papilio machaon)

Set 3:
There are two here and they are probably part of a larger set.

1. European peacock, Aglais io
2. Cypris morpho, Morpho cypris

These pictures mean there is still at least one unconfirmed Marvel character. The Doctor Strange box says [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. Including the first six and assuming the Green Goblin and Iron Man are 7/8, 7/9, or 8/9, there is still a missing figure. The first article said it is Dormammu, Iron Skull, and Ultron. In a newer one, it said Thor would be included.

Thought I'd put in my 2 cents on these fish!

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] looks like some variety of armored catfish though it doesn't have the "whiskers".
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] appears to be a Cichlid
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] isn't any bass I've ever seen; looks more like a neontetra, but the dorsal fin in wrong
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] looks like a male guppy I had when I was a teenager

Not sure I was of much help.

You can find the numbers of XX frogs on Toy Animal Wiki. Though, now with more time I checked it better and again you're right. Those are not Club Earth neither XX. I should have noticed once they have a remarkable lower quality. Those are brand Adventure Planet from RINCO company. RINCO company had not long ago, some legal issues with K&M International, once according with the later, Rinco cpimitated and copied entire lines of copyrighted toy products owned by K&M.
I am sorry for using some frogs again to awake the macaque but maybe it can help someone sorting some of their unknown frogs. With a little luck, I'll find an official picture of XX frogs and with even more luck, I find them for my collection and start studying a little more about these small, noisy and colorful creatures. :)
Do you think they're identifyiable? I tried but I am definitively not good with it, the first seems an American green tree frog but the catalogue says it is a collection of poison dart frogs. As we say in Portugal, frogs are not my beach.
