Brand Identification topic

Is this figure yours? This figure was heavily copied by Chinese makers. Is it marked Schleich?

Its mine but i dont have it with me. ill check it. So is it a knockoff?

If it is not marked with the brand name, it is a knockoff and it is probably only marked Made in China. If it is marked Schleich, it might be one of the variations but about it I don't know anything. I only know the model was available for a long time.

Its not marked svhleich but how do the chinese factories get the model from?

I don't know the modern technologies very well but the traditional method is. They just get an original figure. They make a clay sculpt of it and then they use it to make a moulding piece. Recently, they've been copying resin and polyresin pieces too and that's the reason why we also find very good Chinese knockoffs for sale of figures we're not used with.

Please anybody can help to identify this bear? It is only say England underneath….the style of letters seem to be little bit similar to timpo but I have never seen one of this…thank you for any info!

It looks a little bit 'crude' in it's production!
The feet are just flat blots of plastic.
I wonder if it is a made at home copy?? Someone just did a quick mould of a bear and mixed their own plastic filler??

And the 2 tone colours in the plastic are quite messy and unexplainable, especially if a company was involved. I think they would at least have quality control on it.
I'm quite sure that a factory would be able to get it's colour mixer working properly instead of producing a green and brown bear if it came to making money.


There have been sellers on ebay selling reMents. Something akin to making a mould from an existing model and selling the offspring.
I received some very light plastic copies of Beton Bergen figures - only to discover they were these 'rements'
when I enquired with the seller - he just ignored my questions
maybe he was the one doing it??

Thank you Sunny, even if hi is home made copy I wonder of which original model he is copy than? I know that even Britains where making models with two kind of plastic mix together not entirely.

What a beautieful figure of a not common species. Sorry i can not help but more informations are also interesting for myself.
If it is from a Action toy set, it is a perfect reason that i open the thread about Action figures. I think we dont to less about that kind of figures.

Sorry can't help but a very lovely Wolverine.

Help to identify the crocodile (light hard plastic) and the kangaroo (hard rubber). I put them next to the Azur ostrich to see scale..... I think they are both French made

The kangaroo reminds me the RAE one, in the same material than the Injecta Plastic Prior

It looks just like the ostrich... ah! I'm getting a little confused with Injecta Prior Azur... It happens to me like with some Pfeiffer series.

Except for the head, it looks a lot like the RAE

InjectA Plastic is the producer, based in Macau. Prior, Azur, lesieur, Réna were the companies who used the Injecta Plastic models as prime for their own products. Prior used the wild animals and Fish series, Lesieur and Réna used the birds series. Azur used the birds series but I don't know if they used more. I don't know teh company which used the Dogs series.

Thanks for the clarification, now it will be very clear!
The kangaroo is similar but not the same, "something" has in the mold or paint or.... it is not like the RAE...

I take this opportunity to also ask about this brown bear, it came to me with the Cofalu rhino, among others, maybe it is of the same brand?

It looks a lot like the Clairet Brown bear cub but less detailed so maybe it is a Cofalu from the "Hardplastic painted Clairet" series.
If so it is much rarer than the original.

Thank u so much for the info again

I can't read it well (besides "FRANCE").

What is the "Hardplastic painted Clairet" series? Can anyone tell me more about it?

Cofalu released a line of hardplastic Clairet-like models with  little differences on some models and no differences at all on overs(except the colours and the place and number of evacuation rings) and released too, the same models  in cheap monochrome soft plastic.

You can see these 2 Cofalu productions in "Vintage companies"... "vintage plastic "... Cofalu wild animals" (with comparison pictures with Clairet or Starlux  models)  :)

They are also on TAW

Thanks! So I understand they are Clairet copies, not real Clairets. But then why is this brown bear marked Clairet?
