Ravensburger tiptoi animals

I found those in a local toyshop today:
Ravensburger tiptoi
They have a microship or something below the yellow spot. with a special "pen", they tell you something about them,.....that's why they're a little expensive. But quite nice. The lion is a pretty nice figurine to rework, the leopard is really good, same with the crocodile and even rhino and elephant. Common species but nice candidates for a makeover,....
Unfortunately, the illustration on the website make them look worse than they actually are. Much better proportions and details as e.g. (real?;-p) Schleich.

Interesting find, they seem very "major brand inspired." Thanks for sharing!

 undoubtedly

I especially like young giraffe and rhino looks also very interesting! I wonder how they look in real, these photos looks good but the real things? Did you buy any?

Thanks for link, they look interesting. Isn't the antelope an impala?

Not yet. Have to think about which ones are worth paying a lot wor a rework job. Indeed, the rhino is very good. Especially as the head isn't too big as some of the other models existing. It could eben be repainted a Diceros bicornis michaeli i think. The Giraffes are really nice too although i concentrated on Croc, Lion etc.  

Nice figures. I like the leon and the croc. It's interesting.

They don't look half bad. If anyone buys them please post pics of them.

More a Grant gazelle:scratch:

I think this product is very similar as Scanopedia animals    But i like the figurines and i think the antelope will in my zoo   

Here some pictures the shop owner allowed me to take:








So you see, the leopard will receibve some surgery plus the next time,....  
I can buy some for you if you need some. Choosing a nice figurine is better than ordering. The is pretty close to where i live so there's no effort.

Thanks for these extra pictures, they actually look much better in these pictures then in those we can see at the website.
Agree also with you that the rhino has fantastic proportions for a black rhino, small head, short ears, tall legs and apparently, not excessively bulky.
I really like the rhino though the spot is a minus for me.

Thanks Andreas, unfortunately we cannot see the rump patch or it would be much easier to identify it. The shape of the horns really doesn't fit perfectly those from an impala. Though still have some doubts too!

it's actually not a problem to remove the spot.I just did,...repainting is the biggest effort although the grey of the rhino should be more simple to cover.
So ana:
You should have a try to "michaeli" one;-p

Thanks to you and to your daughter! It is not always easy to identify some antelope and gazelle species. So the company worked it to the subspecies detail and it is being sold with the gneric name of antelope. It turns the figure even more interesting, do you have it? I would love to see more pictures, mainly from back side.

Surely, Andreas! :)

Is this possible to take more pictures of the impala and the crocodile face if you return to your store? 
 

I also saw this figures in a toystore near me, some of them looks awesome. They only are a littlebit too small, if you want I can take some photos.

A new hippo, a male gorilla and a few farm animals will new release in may
