Lakeshore: Playvisions + others (club earth?)

Some time ago I got these very nice boxes with animals. The frogs are Playvisions, the others are not. The seller had more lose playvisions without box and sold them under "Lakeshore animals", too. It were PV beetles, wasps, whales, sharks and dolphins (and he/she said to have another set with lizards but didn't want to sell that one). So I assume they were sold in those Lakeshore boxes, too.

I've never heard of that one before and wonder if anyone could tell something about it.
The butterflies are very nicely made and they have their common names on the back of the wings; I am wondering if they might be club earth? Due to the back numbers they are a selection out of at least 12.
Also the spiders might be club earth. They look similar to the PV spiders, but the material is softer and the models are flatter. I have seen them in a different forum under "PlayVisions" but they are not marked with a brand, only with name and number (maybe 12 different ones, too). On the last picture you see the lakeshore ones left, the PV spiders right.

I'd like to have more of those boxes, I just love the different and often so enchanting ways of selling Playvision sets, from unexpected (and often never heard before companies - see Moses Verlag).

Gosh ! Beartrice, these are fabulous   
You surely found GOLD there ! All of them !     

Great catches again Beatrice!!

Wow! Awesome find!

I immediately thought of the brand Lakeshore that makes model horses. But I don't think this is the same company.

Fantastic    I would love to catch these wonderful frogs   

Wonderful finds! Congrats

We have a Lakeshore Learning center 15 minutes away from my home.   Great finds! Lakeshore only has a giant bucket of various Nayab animals for 50$!!!!!!!!!! Ridiculous! That's all they carry now.

Beatrice, you're our PVpedia! It seems PV is only the head of the octopus... ;affraid:
Leeann, thanks for that link with horses full of charisma!

Congrats! The only sets I knew of true PV being sold in was the National Geographic ones.

The Denver Zoo use to carry a few PV before their discontinuation. Nothing much.

Great catch, congrats!

That’s a very interesting bit of information, because there’s a Lakeshore Learning store near us.

Lakeshore sells AAA also. I just bought this set- for a ridiculous amount, $70- and all the figures are AAA. It does have all the figures in the picture except the wolf, which is one I wanted. It was replaced by a quite small sitting/howling one. Ah well, hopefully I can sell some.

That's a shame! Looking at their website indeed the howling model pictured on yours has been replaced with the small howling one.

REALLY expensive in my opinion, but lots of good sets for the avid AAA collector. Even the sea set has a cuttlefish!

That's really a shame when you buy an entire set for a figure and that's the one which is missing.
I hope you can recover your investment.

A shame
