PostSubject: Spanish Bull - vintage model   Spanish Bull - vintage model EmptyMon Oct 29, 2018 11:13 am

A while ago , I found this very interesting and very charming looking, plastic model of Spanish Bull.
I bought it from a bulgarian seller , who informed me , that he has it since he was a child .. ( `80 )

The model is hollow and it is so light ... It is almost like you hold just an air. The material is very very thin ...
I think the right name of it is `` celluloid `` .. ot maybe ``nylon`` .. ?
It is not hard, it is very thin and elastic.

I think, it is a vintage, russian model , from `70 or maybe `80 ( at least the style is looking like that) , but I still don`t have a proof for that.

Ok, now it`s time to see a walkaround of this charming and friendly looking guy :

Spanish Bull - vintage model 8

Spanish Bull - vintage model 9

Spanish Bull - vintage model 10

Spanish Bull - vintage model 11

Spanish Bull - vintage model 12

Spanish Bull - vintage model 13

Now you can clearly see , why I call it : Charming and friendly looking Very Happy :

Spanish Bull - vintage model 16

Ok, maybe you are curious of the size of this model ... ? :)
Let me show you ...
Ta daaaa :

Spanish Bull - vintage model 18

Yes, it is actually quite big and his new friends , the CollectA and Mojo bulls are also impressed of his size Very Happy
But like I said, it is soo light ... every one of the major brands models, is much much heavier than he is .

I was trying to find any info about this model on internet ... and till now , no results scratch
Nothing, except this :
I found a statue of a bull from a russian webstore , made of cast iron .. and it looks exactly the same as mine plastic model .
Unfortunatelly on this store, they don`t show any info of who made it .. or the year of manufacturing.
Check this out :

Spanish Bull - vintage model 67657646

Spanish Bull - vintage model 67657648

And one last photo ... for TAI .. maybe ? Very Happy

Thank`s for watching sunny

To be fair, I have seen it and I even tried to find some information. The fact that I couldn't find any info about it is surely not a good excuse to not post. I think it is always gentle from us to post even when there's nothing too special to say. Afterall, you are bringing something unknown to the forum and your effort deserve our thanks. cheers No reasons for your charming bull feel sad, we are just a few but we are good. cheers

What an amazing model !!! And very, very charming cheers

Again you found something both beautyful and rare ! Applause

So he is more or less a copy of a metal bull, so perhaps he was designed by a well-known artist ?
Good idea, Andreas, to ask Sergey if he knows something Very Happy

About the material, I think that it could be celloid.
I had two celluid dolls as a child, and they were ultra-light. But in that case, be very careful , as they burn very easily.
I remember when bycycle handles were made from celluid. Naughty children loved to hold a looking glass in the sun over the handles, and after a short time, the celluid would begin to smoke and crumble Suspect
My mom always warned me not to take the dolls near the christmas tree ( Back then we only had real candles, elecric light chains were not invented yet Laughing )
Thankyou for sharing you new, wonderful find with us. Take good care of him, he may be quite fragile Wink

My celluloid figurines are not elastic, but very breakable and very easy weight.

Thank you very much friends for your nice comments sunny

My Toro is happy and even more smiling , reading them Laughing

Yes Andreas, the last photo is with DeQube Toro Bravo model ... one of my new precious, spanish models, which Miguel was so kind to help me to get. Soon I will show them Wink

Now I think, that my Bull is made not from `` celluloid `` because I`m reading here, that this material is very breakable.. So, maybe the right name of the material is ``nylon``.
It is very squishy :)

You can put the bull for a short moment in a fire. If he burn, it was celluloid Wink lol!

Great to see this gorgeous model again cheers

Reading the descripton again, I wonder if the material isn't bakelite ?
Celloid is not flexible .... scratch

Very beautiful bull. Bakelite is definitely not elastic.

Thank you to remind us this incredible Toro, to tell the truth I don't remember it since I missed the topic Laughing

I like very much to discover unkown and unusual figures and this is one for sure.

Could you share a pic of your whole Toros collection ? bounce Very Happy

Thank you Kiki . Glad you like it :)
Taking group photos is difficult for me, because of the lack of space for photo shooting,
but I am waiting a new Toro models ... I hope soon they will come,
so with them, I will try to do something about it :)

An amazing bull figure Kosta. Whilst I cannot identify the brand this site has some interesting information:

http://dirydor.blogspot.com/2009/04/toros-de-lidia-en-plastico-54-mm.html

Mainly deals with bull fighting figures in 45mm to 54mm but it does say that Jecsan produced 70mm bull figures and these are like those from Teixidó and they are convinced the same sculpture was used. May be an avenue to explore.
