| Hi guys! Remember this poor yet beautiful fellow? Well, I was able to fix its broken parts thanks to Citadel super glue (used for Games Workshop/Warhammer figurines). Result: Still missing the tail and some cracks are still visible, but I think he's gorgeous ![I love you](/users/3211/17/63/12/smiles/1767105116.gif) Now I'd like to know a bit more about him, so maybe there's a composition expert here on STS who can tell me more? ![Smile](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif) Kosta already showed me this link. I know my hyena is Hausser Elastolin and was released postwar. It was probably discontinued in 1969, because the brand went out of business in this year (and all known Elastolin figurines on TAi were discontinued in this year as well). But does someone know its exact release year? And for adding it to TAi, should it be part of the Hausser Elastolin composition zoo animals section? Thanks in advance!

| I have two of the same figure--but neither one is spotted! They are painted more like brown hyenas!

| Is your hyena the same as below? It is an Elastolin composition figure as you pointed. I am immpressed with what you can do with love and glue! ![cheers](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_cheers.png) ![Hausser Elastolin Spotted Hyena Tufa273](https://2img.net/h/www.bearlintoys.com/Images/tufa/tufa273.jpg) |

And thanks, Roger. I now know how fragile these old composition figurines are, I wish he would have survived his journey better D: - sbell wrote:

| Julie, I think I have pictures of the same hyena to put on Toy Animal Wiki from Susanne's collection. I haven't added it on TAI yet probably because I was not sure of which brand it was. Hausser Elastolin composition figures were widely copied and it is easy to find other composition figures very similar. I uploaded it on TAI meanwhile. The website Kosta linked to you, that we often use to identify our composition figures, says it is a 1930 figure. Curious is that Christophe has in its collection a Hausser composition striped hyena and he claims it as a 1938 figure. Kiki is definitively an expert in this matter. ![Hausser Elastolin Spotted Hyena Hausser_Elastolin_Striped_hyena_1](https://2img.net/h/toyanimal.info//images/3/30/Hausser_Elastolin_Striped_hyena_1.jpg) |

Great work, Roger! ![cheers](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_cheers.png) My only problem is that Figurenmuseum.de states that the growling wolf and striped hyena are 'Vorkrieg bis 1939', which means they are 'prewar until 1939'. So they were made before WWII. Yet the spotted hyena, which looks like my one, is stated 'Nachkrieg', which means 'Postwar', so they were made after 1945. How can it be that it's still from 1930? ![scratch](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_scratch.png) Maybe you mean they're from around 1950? |

| Judging by the bends in the legs, I think you may be right--although, mine are not painted as distinctly 'striped' as in the photo.

| Again I am so terribly sorry I am not allowed to show pictures from my book about Elastolin The auther, Ulrich Raue ( UR), would be very, very upset if I did . But I am sure I can tell you what the pictures and text concludes ![Very Happy](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_biggrin.png) According to UR there are 5 different Elastolin-models with basically tree clearly different moulds and many colour variations of which he shows 15 !!! The oldest mould was made in two variants, both made before WW2. It has a very bulky, fuzzy mane and short, thick tail. He calls them no 1 and 2.The second mould was made both before ( VK) and after (NK) WW2. The tail is the same as 1 and 2, but the mane is not nearly as fuzzy. It has neither spots nor stripes. UR calls them no 3. The third mould was only made NK. It has only the slightest hint of a mane, and the tail is thinnner. It came both spotted striped . UR calls the spotted on No 4 and the striped one no 5. Myself, I have only two. But perhaps they can illustrate ? The one to the left is almost similar to model 4 and the one to the right is a late ( But still VK) model 3. ![Hausser Elastolin Spotted Hyena Hyenas1and4_zpsde6jwljy](https://2img.net/h/i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh540/susannescollection/Composition%20models/Elastolin/Hyenas1and4_zpsde6jwljy.jpg) ![Hausser Elastolin Spotted Hyena Hyenas1and4Back_zpse6dghlsy](https://2img.net/h/i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh540/susannescollection/Composition%20models/Elastolin/Hyenas1and4Back_zpse6dghlsy.jpg) ![Hausser Elastolin Spotted Hyena Hyenas1and4Tails_zpsnncyd1va](https://2img.net/h/i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh540/susannescollection/Composition%20models/Elastolin/Hyenas1and4Tails_zpsnncyd1va.jpg) I hope this explains something even if UR has been cought in a mistake with the buffalo ? _________________ SUSANNE ![cat](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_cat.png) |

| It explains a lot, thanks Susanne! ![cheers](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_cheers.png) And thanks for sharing these pictures as well, very handsome hyenas ![drunken](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/drunken_smilie.png) I wish mine still had his tail! I found this beauty on eBay. A bit too expensive for me (I think it's a good price, but I prefer spending my money on other figurines, yet I'd love to have this one in my collection ![Razz](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_razz.gif) ). It's stated as a 'wolf', but I think it looks more like a striped hyena (photograph by seller): Anything about this handsome fellow in your Elastolin book, Susanne? |

| What a beauty ![drunken](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/drunken_smilie.png) I agree it muct be a striped hyena with the mane - and stripes ![Wink](/users/3211/17/63/12/smiles/1466736124.gif) It is certainly not from Elastolin. Those are all more or less like the ones I have. I never saw this one before _________________ SUSANNE ![cat](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_cat.png) |
