Geoworld Embolotherium Model spotted in local TK Maxx Store - Photos

I was in my local TK Maxx store over the weekend and was walking past the toy section when suddenly, out of the corner of my teeny weeny beady little eye I spotted something........was it an animal?  Was it a discovery of a new species?  Was it the discover of a new range of animals?  The excitement was too much and I wondered over to discover that it was a prehistoric mammal model.  

It was no interest to me as I do not collect them but I took photos thinking it was something no one will have heard of but unfortunately it seems like it is 'old news'! Oh well.....anyway I though it may be one of those cheapish copy toys which are usually hollow but actually it is not. This one is sculpted quite well and it is a solid heavy plastic model so feels good in the hand and respectable if you know what I mean.

Anyway I attach some photos for you of the model and packaging as I am sure some of you will find it of some interest......enjoy!

WOW !!! What a wonderful find !!!

It s a gorgeous model !!!
And a very rare animal model.
In TAI, there is only a scull : [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I think this one is perhaps even more interesting than the Megacerops !

Lucky you to have such a shop near by.
Thankyou very much for sharing the pictures

Thank Susanne

Just to add that I did not buy the model, I just took photos but glad you enjoyed them

I am surprised these are not for sale on MPV or somewhere easily accessible for collectors out there?

An interesting interpretation of an embolotherium. These Geoworld series seemed very popular when they started. Now it seems there is a certain lack of interest around them. Maybe they are not easily available anymore and it may have contributed to it. Thanks for sharing, these prehistoric mammals are nice.

It's a magnificient piece! And what a gorgeous set!!! Is it still available?

I will have to check my local TK Max for this model as its not always in every shop as TK Max can be erratic with their stock!
