AAA Elephants for for TAI :-D

AAA designs molds according with brand specifications and AAA also designs and manufacture their own molds that other brands can use in their range. That is what is called OEM and ODM.
These first elephants are AAA products. Bullyland instead of creating new molds to manufacture their own figures, They introduced in their range these AAA elephants from AAA "portfolio". Obviously Bully needed to pay to AAA to use and have them manufactured by AAA but it is much cheaper than creating their own molds.
Many other brands/companies use this kind of strategy in their early years to reduce the risk of entering in a market that may not result profitable. If market responds well, these brands start developing their own products.
Concluding, these elephants are AAA molds that were sold by Bullyland.

Finally, thanks to a good old topic like this one, I could find a way to sort most of the AAA elephants known in a reasonable way.
It can be found here.
I used Torben pictures and some others and now there are 9 AAA elephants pictured instead of only two.
If someone can provide more pictures or know other elephants, please feel free to continue using this topic.

Thanks Taylor. You have the bull of the first catalogue picture of this topic. Considering the same picture, which of the calves is yours? They look almost alike to me.

As you say its very difficult as to me the calves look near identical

Maybe they are the same, it is hard to tell although they look slightly different. Could you please provide an extra picture showing the other side of the elephant calf? It may help us identifying it.

Taylor's is 71355 and the other calf (as Julie has pictured) is 71357. I have both and they are different figures completely.

Thanks Paige but I was not referring to Karin's elephant. It is already identifyied.
I am just trying to know if the two elephant calves on picture below are the exact same from different angles or just two different figures in similar poses.

Oh I see. I believe those are the same figure at different angles. I dont see why they'd produce two that could be so similar, but it's also quite strange they'd represent one figure this way also. Sorry for the confusion!

Here is a picture of the elephant calf.I had a look and there is no serial number on it just AAA and the number 1 underneath.

I wish African elephants were as numerous in the wild as they are in the toy world...

Thanks Taylor for photographing the elephant calf from the other side. It seems evident to me now that both pictures, on catalogue, represent the same figure.
