Actually, this is local China brand. Very small scale, about half of Schleich and not expensive.

So they are models you can get in the shops locally ?

Hello Susanne, I can't get them in the local shop. They are only sold on the Alibaba(Taobao).

I bought them one year ago, but they are not sold well in China because the scale problem.

Do you have the Cape buffalo and the tiger ?

They are the only ones that lack pictures in TAI

A fellow collector from Poland, Dorota (also a member of this forum, nick: Dorotheah) has found very interesting horse models from the times of her childhood. I wanted to help with identification but I really think I see them for the first time. She let me share the photos here on this forum.
Does anyone know what brand are these horses? We think they may be originally designed in Poland but perhaps they are re-casts of other brands from a different country? They are at least 30 years old. The size is similar to Britains horses.

They are lovely I really, really like them very much !!

Perhaps they are made in Poland ? Poland is known for some great horses

I too think they are quite lovely and I haven't seen them anywhere else. So, now I think they are very probably designed in Poland.
Those times Polish producers made many copies of Britains, Veb Plaho and Marolin animals, so I thought maybe they didn't design any original animals at all, but it seems they did Ha, now I wish I could find these horses to my collection also

You must ask all your friends and family to look for them
Or are the flee markets as hopeless in Poland as they are in Denmark ?

I think flea markets are not very popular in Poland, unfortunately. I don't think I have much chance to ever find those models but who knows.

Brand of this lovely puffer please?
Fond it today in a secondhand shop, puzzle animal, Schleich penguin for size.
Oh and after I took the photos, I turned his head the right way

Yes it is that, and sbell wrote for me in my searchlist that: Ricolino, which is a Mexican candy company that has often made toy animals. I have a download of a pic. But i can share it because it isnt a pic from a unknown person :)

If you can share the pic, please :) Ricolino, thanks Andreas

Wow! I just typed in Ricolino Animales on Google, and I got photos of the puffin!
Also, one of Julies mystery manatees is a Ricolino! Ha! Now we know both!

That is the Kaiyodo Black rhino released in 1989, resin model kit.  
It was sculpted by Shinobu Matsumura, he also made the African elephant which was recently re-released.

It is 1:12 scale (28 cm long).

Maybe we will see a Black rhino reissue in the future
