Vintage Spanish Brands

Hello all, here is it a few spanish animals pictures of my personal colection. They were made around between 1950's-1970's. Usually they are very hard to find and relatively expensive.
Below each picture, I'll tell you few data.

Amazing! The buffalo is my favourite. And I have 3 camels like that (but with better paintjob) to put them in Christmas, in my "Belén"... I´m not sure how do you call it, it´s like a little diorama where you can see Jesus (baby), Maria, José, the Magic Kings...

Thanks to share with us these interesting figures, is nice to learn something new, I like the buffalo too!
No foxes from these brands???
Me gusta las zorras!!! :)

Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

aandmkw, these brands are almost unknown out of Spain, even here are mostly rare because they are vintage.

SyLoBe, are you spanish? I just seen your location

Thanks Roger, that you write in spanish has another meaning

thank you for sharing those old models with us.

I love to see vintage stuff I never saw before

I think it is called a "Nativity set" in English.
"Krippenfiguren" in German.
"Julekrybbe" in Danish

Those figures are really interesting! I love the buffalo! I know they are vintage, but what years were they made? Approx?

Another vintage Spanish brand called Pech Hermanos from 60's! I've searched and found these figures and some more...

Isn't it impressive?

I'll try to answer your questions.

Roger, fox says in spanish "zorro" for males and "zorra" for females. Zorro in masculine means too astute, but zorra in feminine means bitch or hooker.
I have got animals from Pech too, I'll post some pictures. Don't trust in tag sellers, more times are wrong. For example, rhino you post are the same I post, and it's Comansi, not Pech, look at him.

Kristie, OMO animals are from 60's.

Greetings

Oh Sorry Incha! Entonces no me gusta las zorras because I need money for my figures!
I've found these pictures in a Spanish forum where you are a member! I think some figures I saw it before, when I was a boy, here in seasonal markets ! Not sure, I was very young and never had it! Anyway is interesting to know the history of plastic figures of your country, I remember a lot of soldiers but I'm really interested in animals! :)

Yes, it's fantastic to see something unknown for me, I will wait for more pics

Great pictures Incha, i think we discussed these figurines already some time ago, as you mentioned that you knew those from my collection as OMO figurines.
I got them as a child from my mom in the 1960's, as she bought OMO washingpowder, and i pushed her to buy this of course, haha.
In my case, they are made out of one-coloured hardplastic, not rubber, with some colour-variations to.
The most common colours were white, silvergrey, shineybrown, black and sometimes even red.
Here are some pics to compare, although not very good pictures, as i made them long ago.

Some of the other figurines have resemblances with older composition figurines of older german brands...

Thanks Willy, at first, nice to meet you. I'm a follower of your collection, it's realy very big and good. Your pictures are very good.

About your lioness or my black panther , I call it panther because is painted in black, and there aren't black lions, I supose she is a panther (jaguar, leopard,...?), because already there is a lion in OMO animals.

P.D. I like tropical fishes too and I have some tanks

Do you see a brush in the tip of its tail? So it is a lioness!
If you don't see it, so it is a leopard (black panther)! :)
Let's look at the tail!

Yes incha, I´m from Spain! I was going to answer Roger about "zorras" but I´ve just seen you did it before me! :)

Perhaps you are correct and it's a painter's mistake


SyLoBe, nice to meet you Encantado de saludarte.

There is another interpretation, figures are similar and they wanted to save some money and used the lioness sculpting for a black panther painting it in black! The figure is not completly accurate, what we understand but the morphology is of a lioness! So, if this interpretation is correct, this is a black panther made iwith a lioness mould! A catalogue would explain what they wanted to do! Anyway congratulations, you have a black lioness, very rare figure!

So this is not a brown leopard
