Britains plastic Giant Tortoises

Thank you for the introduction, these models are for me the apex of the 60's and 70's turtles.

I hope you will share more pics of these beauties, they deserve it

They are beautyful !!!

It is very interesting to see and read these topics about Britains, - thankyou very much

These topics comparing both versions of figures with the same product number are very interesting for me. Normally, I miss one of them once I'm not always aware of it. So now I know that there is a wonderful tortoise missing here.
I have the old one here pictured with the Dinamização shy tortoise.

Those two fit well together

Thanks for posting this, Chris! I really enjoy seeing these posts on the different variations and histories of vintage models.

You are welcome Christophe and these two tortoises are indeed fine replicas.

This image is the first of a few I plan to post.

Thank you Susanne always glad to supply information about Britains animal figures. I had the old version when I was young so having this example relives some wonderful memories.

Roger what a nice tortoise model from Dinamização and a great companion to the Britains model. I have only heard of this brand from your postings here on STS. The newer Britains model shouldn’t be to hard to find and will certainly add nicely to the two you have pictured here.

Fully agree Christophe and hopefully one day I will find an example of the Dinamização brand.

Many thanks bjarki12 glad you find these posts informative. I always wanted to know what the difference was between these two Britains models too. It was only last Sunday at the Donington Toy fair that I was able to obtain the new tortoise model and therefore able to show a comparison between the two.

Hello Chris, it is true, I think only Andreas posted a Dinamização figure that I was not the source of it. These figures were only sold in Portugal as far as I know and it seems I acquired the few ones that were available in Portuguese websites.
There's still a uncomplete lot available and I am contacting a previous seller to see if I can get an extra tortoise to join the sea lion that I have here for you.

Hoping to include an image of the undersides of both models. The new model’s underside is well detailed and worth seeing.

Roger, this is very kind of you to locate this fascinating Dinamização tortoise for me. I didn’t know you had that sea lion especially for me too. The friendship I have found on STS is truly amazing. Once again many thanks for your time searching for these models and for your kindness.

You're welcome and thanks for your words. It seems we are lucky and it won't be hard to locate a tortoise, if you want more Dinamização, please send to me a rpivate message or just post here, I can't find all at this moment but surely I can find a good part of them. You can see the whole collection here!
