I have a few odd things, but none may be stranger than this:

It's a wolverine from a National Wildlife Federation set given out by Dairy Queen! It might have originally had a base, but I don't have that (I found the figure at a garage sale).

I don't even know what the National Wildlife Federation is.

From this serie exists also a elephant, that is the only information that i got.

There isn't much out there--it was a dumb-luck find at a yard sale!

We will see, a collector friend will look for me :)

The wolverine is from the set made by T.M. for NWF in 1996. Every figure contains color base with appropriate continent shape and ID card. These figures are hard to find. Unfortunately, NWF stopped plastic animals releases years ago, the new NWF ones are stone resin figures only.

There were different sets for different years with different animals.

The complete set from 1996 contains 7 animals: Wolverine for Europe, Koala for Australia, Penguin for Antarctica, Elephant for Africa, Jaguar for South America, Giant Panda for Asia and Grizzly Bear for North America. All animals are monolithic, good quality and are not in scale.

I am not sure, Andreas. I failed in my effort to got any scan of old NWF catalog so I know only the species from 1996.

Thank you again.

Here are some of my rarities, maybe many Schleich collectors have them, but for me they are really rare and I am glad to have them in my collection :)

Those are neat!

It's cool to at least know what the NWF line should have in it--but I'll be honest, I lucked out and got the only one I would have wanted! No base or cards, but that's okay.

And now I'll throw in another rarity--one I've done a walkaround for before, but it fits here if only because they weren't released for the public (unlike the NWF--those were from restaurants, there should be lots out there).

The walkaround is [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

The Safari Ltd Desert Pupfish is still one of my favorite figures.

Great, the most birds i have too. But are you sure that the lion cub is Schleich, or a Fremdserie?

Wow, yours?

What a lovely set, Jarda! I'm especially in love with the wolverine <3 And I really like the fact that their bases are the continents they come from. Very nice

Here is a rarity from my collection:


K&M International red wolf from the large solid animal figurines

A phantastic red wolf
