Brand Identification topic

What a beautyful, beautyful Bluespotted stingray
Great find

Hmm, the mark is a big S with some Chinese signs around, isn't it ?
Sorry, I have no idea what brand it is

A next interesting chinese company that we dont know

Karin, I think you've found something really unusual. First, the figure is beautiful and it is incredible that nobody knows it even if it is clearly marked. We are good identifying at STS, so it may surely be a rare and unknown brand.

Ha! Now I know the species too, thank you Susanne

Yes, and kind of S with lots of Chinese/Japanese sings around it.
The hard part is, there is some kind of tiny text underneath the S with signs, but my eyes are so bad, I can not read it!

The letters SWCN are, I think, the initials of the brand? I have no idea...

I think so too! I wanted to trade it at first, but now the mystery is so big, I want to keep it XD
It is indeed clearly marked, it has a meaning, but what and who?
I could not find anything on TAI o.0 So it is a big mystery!

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to make this inquiry, but I could really use some help identifying this little guy. We found him in my grandmother's house many, many years back and he's been sitting in my animal figurine collection ever since. It's clear that he's an old model, but I had assumed that he was some random off-brand toy until recently when I read the fine print on his belly. It's hard to see, but it says "Schleich" in that little circle and "W.Germany" under his front leg. My research has turned up nothing so I thought that maybe you guys can help. Could he be a really old Schleich figurine?

Hello Sylvius

I have re-located the topic to this section of the forum

Oh indeed, it looks like it! Andreas already provided you with the link to the TAI page

Hello, Sylvius, and wellcome here  

You can find a list of the development of Schleich logos in their book "Anywhere's a playground" from 2006.

Important : The blue text is added by me, because there is copyright

If you wonder what "Biegefiguren" is, you can see some of them HERE
They were the first models that Schleich made.

Thank you all ever so much! I didn't expect such a quick or thorough reply. And thanks for the logos too Susanne, that was going to be my next question (I just knew I'd seen that little running man somewhere before, haha). You guys are awesome!

You are welcome

Btw , in case you want to collect Schleich Classics : Some of the oldest ones have no marking at all, some are only marked "W GERMANY"

I surely understand that you want to keep that beautyful ray

-------------------------

Now I also have a question, even if it may be easier.

Looking through my New-Ray models-on-base, I dicovered these models that I had completely forgotten.

They are unmarked...the style make me think of ELC or such, and I am sure they have been discussed in the forum, but I just can't remember when of what

Can anybody help, please ?

I have this small black woodpecker figurine, i think it is a pencil topper. But does anyone knows more?

Andreas, your woodpecker is from a nice series of pencil toppers manufactured by Wing Mau. As this company produces to many other brands, we may be able of finding it sold by other companies.
Scheck the complete series.

Yes, i know. I had that woodpecker from Sergey, the owl and the frigate bird i found on Taobao. I think that pencil toppers are only small give aways for childrens. I think it is hard to find a brands.

I think it is the same System Service thing like that with Yujin. Or like Nayab, only a little better quality for brands :)

Yes, it is the same system. There are lots of Chinese manufacturers like Wing Mau. So, when there's no brand info, the best is to identify them through the manufacturer. :)

Found these at a car boot sale
I think the little dolphins are copies of PV models
The little rabbit has no marks on it
The shih Tzu has topple and 1997 on it
The Rottweiler puppy has MI on it
The strange coloured Yorkie has no marks but I think it may be a Puppy in your Pocket or similar.
More information would be most appreciated

I have the same model and you are right, it is a chinese knock off :)

Thanks.

I don't know what they are, but they are lovely, - great finds !

Hi everyone, I am calling for assistance to see if anyone recognizes the company that made this Coca Cola premium stag beetle (Prosopocoilus inclinatus). I bought it on YAJ via Brett so I don't know the manufacturer. I am sure it is not Kaiyodo, but thinking Yujin or Kabaya are likely candidates. The base has the Japanese name of the beetle on one side and 'Coca Cola' on the other; nothing on the underside.

thanks for your assistance!

I don't know, - but what a nice beatle

No idea but also very interesting. But why not Kaiyodo- a special Coca Cola bottle cap edition?

Well, I think I am aware of all of Kaiyodo's insects, but you are right, it could have been some limited special release. Kaiyodo is pretty god about marking their products, however...

Those are New Ray too, probably from the bigger set, maybe that's why they aren't marked? I had most of these in my childhood days All except the goats. Piglets and geese were available in a big set with barn
