| I hope to add more to this topic, - therefor the rather cryptic heading Lately I have been so lucky to get some old Marilin composition-animals, and got interested in this compagy with the interesting history. Perhaps best known is the small plastic-copies of Lineol models, which they made from 1967 - 2010. They are known as "Plaho"-animals, but acually the compagny now known as Marolin was only part of the VEB Plaho Steinach cooperative from 1975 - 1990 . Torsten Berg has made a fine overvew, which you can see HERE For me it is very, very hard not to look on ebay when I am playing with models of a certain brand, and HURRAY ! I found some models I missed in my collection A wonderful flock of poultry : [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]I am almost sure they are from a later period, - the paintwork of some of them looks far too detailed for the Plaho-period. Perhaps somebody can enlighten me ? Isn't this rooster beautyful ? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Two lovely hens [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The 3rd hen looks like a repaint, and I have not found the model with that kind of grass anywhere on the net or in catalogues- Does anybody know this model ? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]And here are the chickens I have been wishing fo for a long time As you can see there are two kinds of paindwork. Perhaps the ones to the right are from a later period ? They fit fine together, as the ones to the left could be hen-chickens and the ones to the right could be rooster-chickens ( Whatever they are called in Enaglish ) [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]And WOW ! I got the white elephant [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Her calf is ordinary grey, but a very nice baby [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

| Nice flock Susanne The 3rd poultry is really different indeed, never saw it anywhere before. I guess it could find a place in the "rarities" SUY |

| I also can't help Susanne! Though, I find them very nice, specially that sumptuous rooster. Hahah, trying to find names for chickens, what a great sport. Rooster, male and mature; Cock, the same as rooster; Capon, male chicken whose reproductive function was removed in an early age; Cockerel, a young domestic cock (usually less than 1 year); Chick, a newly hatched . So maybe the chicks to the right are cockerels already? |

| I have bee rather busy the last couple of days ( My son has helped me in the garden, and I have cooked wonderful dinners ), but I have also had time to play a little more with my VEB Plahos Recently I got hold of a Plaho-buffalo with dark head [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]So far I have only has them unicoloured, - and I wonder if the dark-headed ones are actually made by Marolin after 1990, e.i. they are not Plaho but Marolin ? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Unicoloured, lighter in VEB Plaho-bag : [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The white one was made in 2010, - the year Marolin stopped making the old Plaho-range. As far as I remember there was made 5000 pcs...or was it 500 ? I also seem to remember that one of our members of STS had them made, but I just can't remember who [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Here is the hippo-variation which was certainly made by Marolin already in 1990 [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Compared to the VEB-variation [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]And now the wolves It was made in various colours by Plaho : [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]But the Marolin-variation is clearly different : [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]I was delighted when i found out theat I have this lineol-wolf...could he be the original model made by Lineol in Brandenburg ? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Newer, older, oldest : [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]And here the squirrels ... They were certainly made with different colours by VEB Plaho : [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Here one even has grey base colour : [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Still, the one made by Marolin ic clearly different [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Three variations of the same mould...I adore this little figurine [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

| Susanne, all these figures are wonderful, you know I love vintage although I have only a little collection of these. :) I can't find the original white buffalo thread to confirm the number of pieces, it was probably in trade section and has gone. I remember considering to get it at the time but I don't remember how many they were. At first I thought it was @plahotiere who started that project but I think Thomas ( @effelderboy) seems more Plahosible! Both are experts and Thomas has always lots of figures to sell. I think it could be a good idea to keep contact with him. Soon we have 3 big Plaho/Marolin collectors, Thomas, Torsten and you! |

| I'm an eastern bloc child, so i had a lot of Plaho in my childhood. The best thing is, that there was a LOT of color varations from each species. Alone the horses had over 20 different colors. Sadly, that i had sold my figures at ebay. |

| Congrats, Susanne, these poultry figures are the most elusive ones from Plaho/Marolin ones! The small roosters mold should be really old, Czech company Durolin made identical "Masse" figure in era 1975-1980. When I saw such plastic rooster with the same mold, I looked for Marolin catalog for it. I found only white colour variant in the catalog but there is the black variant too. I never saw the "bunte" variant, thanks for showing us these pictures! Unfortunately, the low-quality colours were used on there figures, the painting on the heads and basis is often peeling off... Here is the black variant: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |
