/Taos' general additions update 10/2/2024

Thank you folks!

A great batch of dogs! The pups in pics 3-5 are from a vending machine. I don't remember the maker but I have some myself. The big dachshund is nice, I found the same but in brown a few weeks ago. Curious to realize its a nayab figure now. I like yours' color. Very nice dogs all around!

Nice, I have a bias for the Argentine mastiff

Thanks for the info Paige,much appreciated Yes,I was also surprised to find out the Dachshund with the Basset hound colouring is by Nayab!

Wow, all these dogs are wonderful!! What an amazing selection to have found!

What amazed me the most though were the little dogs in the first two photos- I have never in my life seen them before and they are beautiful, must be so rare! Such interesting breeds and the models reflect each one so well, I absolutely adore them! Are they made from plastic? The cocker spaniel is so lovely, it captures the English show type really well! And something about it also seemed really familiar and then I realised it seems to be exactly the same as this cocker spaniel photo that I often see on websites about the breed: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] And a dogo argentino! The pug, Pekingese and yorkie all look instantly recognisable too, so detailed, I love how even each stroke of fur can be seen! I wonder whether all these dogs might be Toy Major, or inspired by this brand? The Shar Pei made me think of this as it is almost an exact copy of TM's larger shar pei model Would you say they all seem to be part of the same series too because the spaniel and shar pei certainly fit the TM style more than the others? Now I know what they look like I'll definitely be researching to see if I can find out more about these dogs, it looks like a very interesting series!

The vending machine pups are gorgeous too, very sweet! They're all from the A&A Puppy Palz/ Adopt a Puppy series and looks like you've got a whole mixture of series 1 and 3!! Tin Tin's Snowy is lovely too as is the Nayab basset/ dachshund, that's a super find because the sculpt is beautiful and it's certainly not the easiest to find these days!
All in all a great selection of canine additions!

Yes,Bonnie would agree that the little dogs are very well made and in great detail.I think the Pug,Pekingese and the Yorkie are possibly from the same series and the Shar Pei and English Cocker from another series.None of the dogs have any marks/makers on them and I think they are either resin or plastic.The Dogo Argentino is definitely plastic but sadly again there are no marks/makers on it.I did a little research to see if they were dolls house miniatures but didn't get very far.Many thanks for the info on the little puppies as well!

That's really interesting, thank you so much for the information! I'll continue to research in the hope we can find out a bit more about these puppies!

Yes,be good to find out more about these wonderful little models.

Splendid models! I loved my wolf model so much as a kid he has almost lost all his paint.

Thank you Paige!

Those are lovely!

Thank you Kelly.
I managed to find in the UK ,the little group of Toymany puppies that Paige has.They also had a group of Arctic/Northern animals-except the penguin!-they are all nicely made and in the size range of tube animals/Safari Authentics.There is a very nice little Herring gull and my very first Norway Lemming.The seal is a little odd colour wise-looks like an adult but coloured like a baby!

Thank you. Found and bought. Now i hope to get the figures soon

Looking at the polar theme...could the gull be another species?

Yes, in the description is written it is a Glaucous gull. Not really bad for me

Yes, would agree that it could be a Glaucous gull it being an Arctic set,I will have to change my listing!!

I am so happy to get the polar set. Could it be that there is also the first figure of a white faced muskox?

Very nice set, congratulations.
