| First thanks for replying to my request. Watching your useful pictures, I believe I knew most of these figures as Hong Kong copies of Britains. I've never seen a brand attached to them and I also didn't know they could be from Singapore. Some are still easily available as vintage premium figures, I guess. Actually the larger size for that wolf is not bad at all, I think no other company respected the 1:32 scale as seriously as Britains did but the wolf always seemed too small. |

| ..and the leopard too!..
I'm not sure this brand is from Singapore because there is no mark at all, but at the same time, most of others Chinese copies of Britains were marked "singapore" and it's why I supposed it was Singapore too.. :) |

| It's interesting to find out what they are copies of. First of Taos's pictures: All Britains, except the orang utan, which I think is Timpo. Second picture: Adult giraffe, okapi and camel are Britains. Hippo is Timpo. I have often seen the baby giraffe, but I can't remember. I don't know the elephant, it's a nice sculpt. Third picture are all Britains. |

| Roger, the "orang utan" of the first Taos's picture, is a copy of the Timpo one.. :) |

| The elephants in the Punch blister are very different from the ones you are showing as Punch Alain. Punch isn't a singapore brand it was the Prisunic store brand. |

| You are right Christophe, it is the same model than the ones I believed from Feral! So I replace the wrong elephants by the right ones! :) Even if Punch is a Prisunic brand, do you think that animals from the first set above, have been made by Prisunic or a french factory? :) |

| Where Prisunic made or supplied is still a mystery to me. At the time, there were enough manufacturers around Paris not to run to Hong Kong. Instinctively, I would say that the first set may come from Asia and that the monochromes have a very "made in France" style of the time. I add the giraffe |
