Anyone know what brand this orangutan is ? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Hi Oryx,

It’s from a set from a shop in the the Uk called the “Early Learning Centre” the set came with a monkey and person looking through binoculars. They normally stocked AAA branded animals.
I hope that is of some help.

Which brand this eagle is from please?

Hello caracal,
what a beautiful eagle and interesting to know who the maker is.
But I get irritated when I see your photos. The photo marked CHINA C does not match the other photos. It looks like the underside of another bird.
Can you check your photos again?
Benno.

Ho you're perfectly right, it's the underside of an unknown vulture I shall post soon here. So I canceled this picture and added another one. You can see there is no mark at all, even not "CHINA". Thank you Babdo!  :)

Nayab, the one from the realistic set.

OK thank you very much Jarda!

Hello !

I've found this cow in a french fleamarket. The seller supposed it was a deluxe sized Bullyland cow (he also had a pair of said deluxe gorillas) but there is no brand on my cow and I can't find any similar Bullyland release.

Do you recognize this model ?

Obviously she has seen better days but I'd like to ID her before deciding if I eventually customize or restore her.

Thanks

Exactly, and as a fishexpert, and i can say that after 40 years of keeping tropical fish, beeing an international author on tropical fish, giving lectures even on universities, and beeing a teacher for everybody who is selling fish in the Netherlands...
But i am not a real expert in coralfish though, although i know a lot from this field also.
But that all doesn't matter, as any collector of animal-models can see that a lot of these models are far of the reality...

Exactly Willy toys are made for kids to play with and toy manufacturers produce stuff for children. Colour can be a fantasy and the kid isn't going to care. Unless their parents are fish experts and they take on this level of knowledge! If one wants realism one needs to purchase models.

You can buy a toy car for a £1/$1/€1 but if you want a model car you need to pay £100/$111.67/€113.99.

Very realistic - thanks for the answer jarda. Thanks for posing the question and the image Caracal. BTW what size is it?

I do not know what RAE is, so I can't check    

Anyway,  I grab the opportunity to show my two beloved Britains donkeys :

The grey one is from my childhood, and has the impressive name : "Donkey"  As you can see, he is so played with that there is no structure left on his sides
The brown one is marked 1970, but I think the grey one is older ?

Susanne, how wonderful that you still have that old 'Donkey' from your childhood. I can see he was really loved.

He was introduced into the Britains range in 1961 and replaced by the one on the left in 1970. He lasted until 2002.

The middle giraffe is truly special. Superb animated pose. A classic design.

Bullyland figures are usually marked and I don't remember seeing a Hereford made by Bullyland. Though, I might be wrong.
Does the material feel like Bullyland?
Also, what's the size when compared with a Schleich?
It really needs a good restoring but it is sensate to identify it first.

She doesn't have the distinctive Bullyland feel, she's rather heavy like a solid cast.
I don't have a comparison picture with a Schleich at the moment but I've measured that she is 10 cm high at the withers (bigger than a Schleich and a Collecta).

So the chances of being a Bullyland are really low. Hopefully you can find the brand someday.

Does anyone recognise this lead dog and cat? They were sold as Britains but I don't think they are. They may have been repainted.

Roger, not seen a Britains lead cat or dog in these poses. The dog looks like new production as in non vintage as the pose has an animation not usually seen in older designs. Thinking similar regarding the cat.

Thanks, Chris. I was thinking the same about the dog, it looks modern. You may be right about the cat too. We'd be looking for a more modern company that still produced metal figures; I can't think of any.

Here are a few for starters:

William Hocker; Tradition; Nostalgia; Britains; Steadfast; British Bulldog; Dorset; King and Country; Imperial; and Trophy.

An industry started in new metal soldiers since Britains released their first set in 1973. They were solid metal instead of hollow-cast.

Some manufacturers also went on to produce non military ranges and included farm related models and this is where I believe the dog came from although I cannot, as yet, identify the manufacturer.

Whop knows the brand of this Doberman dog recantly arrived in a batch please? (without any mark)
