/Taos' general additions update 10/2/2024

A interesting antelope but very huge

Lots of lovely additions. The antelope is very interesting and makes me think of a smaller figure from Nayab that I believe Andreas has in his collection.

Regarding the reptiles I already have the basilisk and gecko but the komodo dragon and chameleon I'd be happy to have

Thank you all.The antelope was on sale with a very large wild boar which I have already-this is the one.If anyone is interested I can check if they are still there. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

My local second hand model shop had closed at the beginning of the pandemic but has now reopened again at a new site .I was in having a look and bought a model and the owner remembered me and asked if I wanted to see some horses that he hadn't put on display yet and these are what I got!

So many wonderful additions, your charity and second hand shop sound amazing for animal figures!
That Shetland Sheepdog is gorgeous, we definitely need more models of Shelties and this one is lovely, it has such a beautiful blend of colours, it gives the model so much depth! And I love the way his head looks up, so alert just like the real breed- yours looks in such good condition too, especially as this is a vintage model! It looks a lot like the other (celluloid) dogs that seem to have been made in Hong Kong, with that glossy style!
I've never seen that GSD before, what a tall and elegant beauty! It has some lovely texture, and I love the alert focused look it has- and combined with the slim build it seems to be more like a working dog, a very nice model! Does it have any markings on it, I'd be so interested to know as I've never seen him before? Roughly how big is he? The closest series he seems to resemble are the models from the 'World of Dog' series by Shantou Tuoxin- they made a large series where the dogs were about 20cm, and a medium one where if I remember correctly the dogs were between 8 and 12cm, although I might be wrong- but when I found the dogs in this series I don't remember ever seeing a GSD, although they had a very similar style to this one... so maybe we've found a new dog from this series!

I especially like the first dog. Never seen before :)

Thank you both.
Bonnie-the GSD is 12cm tall and just has made in China and German Shepherd marked on it.
The Shetland Sheepdog is made in Hong Kong and a great little model!

Some more additions,this time from a children's magazine. A rather nice Spider monkey and a slightly cartoony tiger cub.I have done a comparison photo with the Safari Ltd model.

That's really interesting, and sounds right too- it must be from the medium sized series of Shantou Tuoxin!
A lovely spider monkey and tiger too!

What is the name of the magazine. The monkey is not bad.

Which brand is the last horse from please?

Andreas-Strangely the Spider monkey came with a magazine on Thomas the Tank engine!The was a model of a train and a very cartoony crocodile as well in the set
Caracal-the horse is Procon-before it became Collect A.

Bonnie-thanks for identifying the GSD for me!

Really great finds! Congrats!

Thank you!

Nice finds!! I wish our thrift shops carried plastic toys!

I love that shetland sheepdog, but a unique and lovely style. And that small greyhound, I've seen it floating around in lots and have always liked it.

Wonderful new additions Taylor, I see you found the wonderful Schleich lying calf, I need to find him

Nice additions

Sooo many wonderful additions!
That ELC collie is definitely a highlight- it's such a beautiful model, painted perfectly with those black and white markings and sculpted so well- it could definitely rival those by major brands! And a lovely Greyhound too- so delicate!

Thank you all!

Another charity shop find-AAA Giraffe
