AAA animal babys with stamp feet

Recently I got these little fellas in a lot. First I wanted to do them away in the lot selling box, since I don't like the big AAA babies very much, but then I took a closer look - and was surprised:
They have stamps on their feet, showing the exact footprint of the animal. And most delicious, take a close look at the panda bear - he has different forepaw and backpaw patterns. I just love them - does anyone know which species else they made this way?

These are so cool! And it even looks like they were never used. Congratulations!

Aww so cute! The calf is too lovely Congrats!  

Very interesting, i never saw before!! Nice catch Beatrice!!

How delightful   

Great for children to learn from, - and great collector's items too, I am sure    

I went searching for a topic like this since I got some of these in the mail today and was curious about them. I figured adding them here would be better than starting a whole new thread, especially since I do not have that calf! Do we know any more about these? Just AAA animal babies with stamps on their feet at some point?

I actually had the black leopard cub with stamp feet when I was a kid, so it was nice that I found him again. Unfortunately, these suffered in the flight from California to North Carolina and many of their stamps melted, so they wouldn't be much good for their original purpose anymore.

Of all the strange models, these must come close to the strangest , - but ever so fun and inventive
So many you have. A gorgeous small collection  

A terrible shame that the feet melted, - does it really get so hot in the flight
It seems that only the stamps melted . The material of the stamps must have a lower melting point than the animals themselves.  Fortunately !!!!

Poor hippo calf he suffered on all four feet
But we can still see how nice the paw-prints looked

Great that you added these to an existing topic.
It makes it much easier to find them all

This is such an interesting idea, I love it, and certainly a wonderful added bonus that you get a combination of lovely stamps and wonderful animals!

I'd be glad of listing those, how to call the series? Animal Babies with paw prints, is it the same as stamp feet?

Very original idea to put stamps on their feet. Great find!

Thanks everyone! They are pretty neat, even though I disagreed as a kid and tore off the little stamps, haha.

It is quite a bummer! The hippo's stamps are a different color from the others, and I think a softer material since they melted so much more dramatically (the goop was all over the inside of the box). The brighter orange stamps just softened and lost their print, though that's just as bad really. But thankfully the animals themselves are just fine! Everyone was very soft and flexible for a while though. I assume it was the flight since the baggage area is not temperature controlled and we weren't having very hot weather here, but maybe it sat somewhere in CA on a hot day for a little too long, who knows! All I know is they weren't like that in the seller's images, so it must have happened in transit.
