Any sets have interesting figurines but it is sad the some figures are identical in different sets. So can be one figur stand for 2 or 3 species.

Do you plan to get Wenno's dinosaur sets? I'd be interested in what species are in those sets.

No, i prefer only wildlife animals. And there is also no information on that poster :)

Ah, okay. Well thanks anyway :)

Well, most of them are not that hard to identify, even for me

I suppose you have already seen the link, Andreas sent a couple of years ago ? [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Oh, I actually hadn't seen it, thank you. Oddly, the thumbnails do not match the detail photos! It seems they have changed the sets over time.

All informations are from this poster

Great work Andreas! I introduced informations on TAI according with your first post. It needs a second round once it is missing the prehistoric sets and some sets need some more work like Africa, farm, etc. Though, that's a good start. :)

At the moment i have Australasia and South America. So i can give pictures. And i hope to get more soon. But it is strange that one figure can represent more than one specie.

Your pictures may be useful once I suspect not many people will collect these. Some of the species are really positively surprising but the quality seems quite poor. As you pointed, the use of the same moulds to many different species shows a little effort to make the figures look like the real thing. I have mentioned it before with the ostrich/rhea/emu and now it seems the fox, of my personal interest, represents simultaneously a red fox, an Arctic fox, a coyote, a culpeo and I haven't checked yet the raccoon dog but I suspect it will be the same.

Oh wow the Johngarthria and Christmas Island red crabs are new genera and species for me.
Andreas, if you get sets with those and can part with the crabs let me know.

Thats the problem. Often is also the colour the same. At the moment i dont have a contact to the owner, but i hope it is only a question of time.

I will do it, but i think some crabs are one figurine with any specie names by Wenno

I have seen and scanned in a shop a Tyrannosaurus and a Stegoyaurus with a child

That's ok by me. Not an uncommon practice really. Look at all the Toy Major butterflies lol

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], thank you that's very helpful! I just wanted to make sure there weren't any particularly unusual species, which is the only reason I would be inclined to hunt them down. I appreciate it!

In a local toy shop i can find now a few tubes marked with Wenno,

here are young animals

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

another tube "Safari" is marked as Wenno, but the figures inside are cheap chinese figures in a small size- so surely not really Wenno

Also a farm tube exist.

The tube "forest" you can see in my zoo news

The figures in here are so lovely!

Lovely set, Andreas

Could be fun to see some of them repainted by one of our experts

Oh, I confused Wenno with Weico as there are some models (buttlerflies, lizards, sealife) sold by this name on Sandspielfiguren.
I didn´t know Wenno and their page doesn´t work anymore. Such a pity that nobody seems to have some of those figures as the TAW page is rather empty

I have a few of farm and wildlife models by this maker but I didn't realise they made so many models!They then to appear sometimes in discount shops here but I have only seen that commoner models.
