Brand Identification topic

The tiger's number is 14382. You are right, '07 is the year he was made.

The chocolate-brown cow and horse are 'OO Gauge' Crescent figures for model railway layouts, i think one or two of the larger ones may be Crescent too, but you'll have to wait for Dave or Chris to have a look! I also recognise the dog at the front but can't remember what he came with!

The flatter ones in the middle-ground look like home casts?

Many thanks LeeAnn and smallscaleworld.

Can anybody help me. I have in my collection this unmarked hardplastic dolphin. And i hope to find some more informations about him :)

A singing dolphin

I found these at an antique store while visiting my sister a while back. A few of theme appear to be like train set models or Christmas/holiday décor? Anyways, the buffalo, boars, and donkey are marked as Rae and made in Hong Kong, the bear is marked as made in hong kong, and the rest are a mystery. I was just curious if anyone knew a brand or what they may be for? (i.e. decorations model train scenery animals etc. I may be interested in getting rid of some if anyone finds them interesting, but I think I want to keep the small stags and deer in the first pic for my ertl farm set.

these are really fragile like plastic, kind of like the old style they used for holiday décor.

these are the same, but obviously their style is cartoony so I have no idea what they may be.

The doves/pigeons are the same plastic described above, the pheasant is more like your "normal" ertl plastic (if anyone is familiar with their chickens from their playsets), the frogs are ward rubbery plastic, the turtles are ceramic, and the rest is slightly more substantial plastic, sort of like a safari toob but obviously a little different.

If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. These were an impulse buy just because I was curious and I hope I can figure out what these guys are.

No idea but interesting catches Paige :)

Great and interesting find, - I love to see that kind of impulse-shopping
Arrrh, those doves, - and the deer in the first picyure are lovely

The donkey looks like the Britains donkey...maybe a copy ?

Warthogs and bisons are Prior models

Thanks Kiki, Susanne and Andreas! Wow, the buffalo and warthogs are from the 1960s! Thanks for the info. And possibly a britains copy... I checked the company RAE on the Toy animal wiki but the donkey and bear there aren't the same models. However the models on the website are from the 1970s. Thanks guys for the help, but does anyone know if they are valuable at all? (I'm not a money grubber, but I don't really collect this type of thing and would open to a trade or something if someone were interested, the only things I'm really interested in keeping are the doves, and small stags/deer and maybe a bison and warthog if no one is interested). Anyways, thanks again for the help guys!

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

Anyway, I grab the opportunity to show my two beloved Britains donkeys :
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

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 ?

Those are great donkeys! Thanks for showing them Susanne. And RAE apparently is a brand, but there isnt much on the wiki about them.

RAE and Prior I think used the same molds - they are Hong Kong maker and in the US many were sold bagged in pairs as a gasoline give away item, the ARCO Noah's Ark series. Buffalo and warthogs are definitely that. The red goat looks like it might be MPC brand.

Thanks Tim, its great to have an idea how they sold (as twins). And that explains the Rae models a little more too, since the animal wiki doesn't have much info on them. Thanks!

so i got theses today of my local buy an sell online shop an i was just wondering if anyone can tell me what these are i know the lions are aaa but what are the birds an the bear set ? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I am not sure about the brand for the bears.
I have 4 of those, but none are marked.

It's a bit hard to tell from the size of the birds, but the toucan looks similar to the one sold on Tapirback here

Bears could be PEC , birds could be Nayab :) ( i am sure for the Toucan)

thank you all for your help i was thinking some sort of safari ltd toob but i could not find anything on that so maybe something els an thank you anreas for the help on the birds i guess il have to wait til they arive to see if they are marked thank you every one for the help

These came with some Schleich figures I bought, but I have no idea what make they are. Any ideas?

And these say Procon on them, and I wondered if anyone had any information about them, as i'd never heard of the brand before


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

Wonderful! The above animals are Jakks Discovery Scanopedia animals. They used to come with an electronic pen which you had to put to the logo on them and then you would hear some information about them. They're quite hard to find these days, if I'm correct.

Procon is actually CollectA, or that's what they used to be called.

CollectA is a large manufacturer of toy animals based in Hong Kong. Their parent company is Procon Asia, and earlier released figures include both Procon and CollectA on tags. The CollectA trademark is now predominant. They produce a full range of animal types but are best known for their extensive line of Prehistoric Life featuring many unusual species.

Hope this helped

Oww thank you Julie. :)

They're very cute, and, apart from the bear, they're animals I didn't have in my collection :)

As for the Procon animals, I never knew CollectA had a previous name. :) I couldn't find anything when googling. :)

Fantastic, rare finds

I never even heard about Jakks Discovery Scanopedia animals before
Does anybody know how old they are ?
It looks like Ravenburger stole the idea for their TipToy-line , - or bought it perhaps ?

Try our own [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] ( Also called TAI in short) .
If type Procon in the search-function, your are redirected to CollectA.

TAI is not perfect, but with all us STS-people working on it, it is getting better every day
