AAA catalogue from italian stockist Edilio Parodi

Hello everyone! Here in Italy the AAA brand was always quite popular in '90s, you could find those animals in every toy shop, in both original and bootleg forms.
Personally I've always thought that Edilio Parodi, the stockist that distributed those animals, was actually the company that produced them, but when they started to import also Safari Ltd. stuff I figured that AAA had to be an indipendent brand (I had no internet ad the time).
I contacted Parodi yesterday, asking if he still imports AAA stuff in Italy other than the Safary models: he said yes, and was kind enough to send along some catalogue page with AAA products. It brought me a lot of childhood memories, when I loved to own and browse one of those catalogues, I hope to be able to purchase or order some of those pieces, I think there are some lovely gems in the brand. I decided to share it with you, even if it's not the complete AAA toyline (some stuff is discontinued, I guess) and if the names are in italian and often mistakenly labelled.
Hope you find it useful in some way ^^

Thanks for posting this. It's always interesting to see what is available from AAA. There is always something new or different whenever you find a list.

This is a very very interesting find. Thank you so much for sharing with us!

Those horses! I really like the grazing one! Never seen these before!

Many thanks, lots of interesting figures! Pangolins, aardvarks, chipmunk, etc. The most realistic reptiles and I love female mouse with babies and others!
I wonder if Susanne have these two....

Yep, from AAA you never know what you can expect. This catalogue is pretty close to the entire AAA production ever, but something is always missing (like the entelodon and the hyaenodon, for example). Notice that some animals are listed but not photographed (like in the "Giant animals" photo, you can read "Also available: Giraffe and Lion")

There are lots of figure I've never seen myself, even if I've actually seen in person the majority of those figures. I guess some of them never arrived in the shops before they switched to schleich and more "trendy" figures.

I fell in love with aardvarks too, they've gone immediately in my wish list. Also, I LOVE those reptiles, they're more recent releases and I want them all, I think they're among the best lizards ever made

There's a lot of good stuff from AAA, even if we usually see always the same figures around (lions and other cats, marine life et similia)
The fox is reeeeeally nice

Yeah, my list has grown too, with this catalogue ç___ç

Aaand I decided to ask the stockist if he can sell me directly some figures even if I'm not a seller, I hope he agrees, cause some figures are practically impossible to obtain in other ways, expecially the more recent releases (the ones made of hard plastic, to compete in those years with schleich, safari and bullyland). If I manage to buy figures directly from the distributor, I could also try to buy some of them for you in the future, I'd love to help the community in some way.

That sounds good, thank you for that

Yes, I remember a long time ago someone posting that fox on forum but it vanished from my poor memory! There are still some AAA foxes missing here and that particular one is very special for sure. I hope Frederico can figure a way to help us!

Flying squirrels, small ducks, aardvarks, Cape buffalo and small reptiles are on my wishlist

   Ohhhhh ! If you could get those Siamese cats for me, I will be grateful to you FOR EVER    

Well, I am already grateful to you because of the pictures

Flying squirrel for me too please:)

I'll do everything I can to get some of those old models, even if it will not be so easy. Tomorrow I'll go to a local toy shop that still has some (really) old stock, like reptiles and other stuff from AAA. If I find anything of interest for any of you I'll let you know :)

That's extremely kind from you. If you find the fox 035310 (close to beavers), I am also interested.

I love them all. I wish they were easier to find.... or still in business. I can't help but love their charm and detail and ideas for figures. I wish the modern companies were a little more like them.  Thanks for sharing!

Federico, any news from distributor?
