That looks really    What is that white ball doing to the man?

Either subduing, or more likely, killing, the poor chap...   

Strange white ball   Better go look up the story. It is too strange to go unexplored

Great figures! I have the Corgi lion and lioness packed away somewhere, I think they originally came with a black and white jeep with a Longleat Lion logo on it.

Hi Ladytilly

The Corgi lions are from the ‘Lions Of Longleat’ Gift Set 8 which included as you have said a black and white ‘zebra’ stripped Land-Rover.

An addition to my collection that is not at least 40 years old! LOL!

It certainly is Tim. The shop had lots of Schleich animal figures and I was spoilt for choice but I came away just with the cheetah.

Plastic figures Donington 30th March 2014 by Chris*4, on Flickr

Left to right: unknown horse, next two Meccano horses - dark brown and grey from Dinky Toys 979 Horse Box, Corgi Toys race horse from 102 Pony Trailer, lioness and lion Corgi Toys, Corgi Toys Emma Peel laying down, Britains Herald Red Deer, Timpo lioness stretching and finally Britains penguin. In the background a plastic fir may be made by Merit?

All bought at the Donington Toy Fair today.  

The unknown horse is around OO scale, Dinky and Corgi figures around 1:43rd scale and the red deer, lioness and penguin 1:32nd scale.

Just found out that the Meccano horse was included in Tri-ang’s Spot-On Magicar set MG3:

Tri-ang took over Meccanco Ltd in February 1964 and released their Spot-On Magicar series in 1965. Tri-ang were past masters at re-using items from one range into another!

Congrats Chris!!

congrats.
