Ich schreibe diesmal auch in deutsch, die Welt möge mir verzeihen.
This time I'm writing in German, the world will forgive me.

Hier geht es um die Rinder vom VEB Plaho.
This is about the cattle from the VEB Plaho.

Wie wir wissen, wurden irgendwann bei allen Plaho Figuren Auswerfer "eingebaut".
Zu dieser Zeit muss auch die Form der Rinder kaputt gegangen sein.
Ich nehme an, dass die Auswerfer bei den Rindern erst sehr spät "eingebaut" worden sind. Wahrscheinlich weil die Form kaputt war.
Seitdem sieht man die Auswerfer und extrem veränderte Figuren.
As we know, at some point were "built" in all figures Plaho ejector.
At this time, the shape of the cattle might have been broken.
I assume that the ejector with the cattle have been "installed" until very late. Probably because the mold was broken.
Since you can see the ejector and extreme changes in figures.

Beim Bullen sind die Unterschiede am größten, siehe Foto.
Die Beine wurden dünner, der Schwanz steht ab und ist auf die andere Seite "gewandert". Der Schritt wurde verändert und die Hufe sind unstrukturierter.
Das Fell wurde grober. Deshalb nannte ich sie anfangs "Highland Cattles".
In the bull, the differences are greatest, see photo.
The legs were thin, the tail and it is accessible to the other side is "moved". The move has been changed and the hooves are unstructured.
The coat was rough. So I called her first "Highland Cattle".

Beim fressenden Rind wurden ebenfalls die Beine verändert.
Das Fell wurde grober und der Kopf wurde verändert.
When eating beef have also changed the legs.
The coat was rough and the head was changed.

Beim stehenden Rind wurden die Beine dicker und unstrukturierter. Das Rind sieht abgemagert aus. Das Fell wurde wie bei den anderen Figuren dieser Gruppe.
When an upright cow's legs were thicker and less organized. The beef looks emaciated. The coat was as in the other figures of this group.

Beim liegenden Rind wurde ebenfalls der Kopf und das Fell stark verändert.
When beef is also located the head and the fur was greatly changed.

Scheinbar wurde die Form so stark beschädigt, dass alle Figuren verändert werden mußten.
Bei den Hausschweinen war das ebenfalls der Fall. Diese sehen "repariert" gräßlich aus.
Ich weiß leider nicht, welche Beschädigung solche notwendigen Veränderungen an den Formen hervorrufen kann!?
Apparently, the mold was damaged so badly that all the characters had to be changed.
When the hogs that was also the case. This view "repaired" horribly off.
I am not sure what can cause damage to such necessary changes to the forms?

Hier die Schweine...
Die reparierte Form ist einfach gräßlich.
Die Borsten sind unstrukturiert. Schwänze sind eigentlich kaum noch erkennbar. Beine sind ebenfalls sehr unförmig.
Außerdem sind die Auswerfer auf der anderen Seite "gelandet". Ich vermute, dass diese Form eigentlich komplett erneuert werden mußte. Dies ist nicht gut gelungen.
Here the pigs ...
The shape is so horribly repaired.
The bristles are unstructured. Tails are really difficult to see. Legs are also very bulky.
In addition, the ejectors on the other side are "landed". I suspect that this form must be completely redone properly. It has done no good.

Very interesting!! That i dont know but in the 90s i start to collect other brands.

I started also with other brands.
Eventually, the Internet and Ebay came faster. There I saw my, as a child so beloved characters again.
I thought at first unaware that there were so many different characters of Plaho. In the GDR, they were so rare.
That made me sad and angry.

The most of my Plaho animals i found in my chilldhood, here in Dresden we have a few more shops so was the chance more bigger. Also i have traded traded traded. The ostrich i get as a gift long years after my search (but as child). The latest Marolin i bought in the middle of the 90s by Karstadt. That was gibbons , chimpaneezes, orang utans and the big tortoise.
