| I've been looking around to find some wildlife figures to display amongst my dinosaur collection. I want to mingle some extant mammals in there, just to get a general idea of how big/small dinosaurs were compared to animals we know today. This dinosaur collection of mine is in 1:30 - 1:35 scale. And I'm looking for giraffe, elephant, or rhinoceros in that same scale. Since they will be just props, I'm not willing to spend a fortune on them. (That money is reserved for the dinosaurs. ) All I've found in this scale so far, for a giraffe, is Britains and Playmobil. Do you good people of STS forum have any more suggestions? Any cheap China stuff maybe? For example: I'm looking for a giraffe that's 14-16 cm tall. An African elephant that's 11-13 cm tall. And a rhinoceros that's 5-6 cm tall. Thank you. _________________ Simone |

| Great idea I would think that if the Britains giraffe fits, then other Britains models may as well ? Preiser makes models in various sizes for model railways, but as far as I can see, they don't make 1 :30. HERE is their shop, but there are tons of retired ones, if you can find them. _________________ SUSANNE |

| Britains is really the 1:32 brand, VEB Plaho are a bit too big.
In modern brands, the ColectA white rhino can do the job, the Papo African elephants too, I don't talk about the 2017 one. |

| Thank you all very much. I'm surprised to read about the CollectA white rhino. I actually have that figure. I'm going to measure it right away! That link you provided Susanne, has some very funny 1:32 scale people. Now I'm very tempted to go that route, maybe. _________________ Simone |

The head and body length of a white rhino bull is 3,7 to 4 m and his eight at shoulders is between 1,7 and 1,8 m. The CollectA white rhino scale is between 1:31 and 1/33. - widukind wrote:

No, the VEB Plaho elephant is smaller than Papo or Britains Ltd and also smaller than 1:32 scale. I thought about VEB Plaho lions and maybe I'm wrong |

| After seeing the SUY human figures (for the first time LOL), I realized that Safari ltd. has toobs with human figures. Are they around 1:32 scale? Does anyone know? _________________ Simone |

| Which toobs are you thinking of ? There are so many that contain human figures Many of the models are on TAI HERE , but as this group is relatively new, there are still lots of "holes" ...perhaps a job for me next winter _________________ SUSANNE |

| I was thinking of the Toobs "People at Work" and "Family Designer". I have a feeling they would be perfect for 1:30 scale animals. Edit: I found the answer to my own question on MPV. They have them listed as 5cm tall = 1:32. _________________ Simone |

Britains still have farm related human figures in 1:32nd scale (along with their soldier figures which are usually given as 54mm). In the past Britains, prior to 1998, had various elephant, giraffe and rhinoceros figures in 1:32nd scale. Elephant on the right is from Britains 1:42 scale Mini-Set range _________________ Chris |
