Here is our Yak herd.

We have seven plastic and composition Yaks in our herd, each one by a different maker.

Also in composition, Tipple-Topple Yak (left) and a Durolin Yak (right).
The late-production Durolin Yak was originally sold without the horns, which are a later addition.

WOW !!!!
I am speachless

Please will you explain to a stupid Dane : What is a composition figuere ?

Hi, Susanne!

'm sorry, I don't know the Danish, but I think the German is "aus masse". An animal made of "composition" is made with a mixture of sawdust, glue, maybe some plaster-of-Paris, and perhaps a few secret ingredients. I know that Elastolin and Tipple-Topple used a lot of sawdust in the mix, while Lineol included waste products from a nearby linoleum factory!

Thank very much, Lesley
I learn so much on this forum.
I don`t know if there is a Danish word for it, but I have much better idea of it now.
Wow, so they did some very, very smart re-cykling then, the concept was not even invented then, I think.
And that is why it is called Lineol

:) :)
I find very pretty Tipple-Topple Yak (left)

Me too! Never thought there could exist such a variety of yak models. In fact, Schleich yak was the first yak figurine I've ever seen.

Impressive yak from old to new maker. Thanks for sharing!!

Lovely yaks! They're one of my favorite types of cattle, but so far I only have the Schleich version.

Almost 5 years later ....The grey--purple-black NF yak is not from Italy, - it is Danish and made by Neo-Form
