Andreas, I know that, that was the reason because I asked for it. So we have our STS-man reported live from the event. I am looking forward for the pictures!

This is a very interesting subject. I guess these figures have a lot to tell. I am also eager to see your report, Andreas.
If there isn't anyone from the STASI around, could you please take a Leningrad fox for me?

I was afraid it might happen, Андрей.

Roger, in this case not only  Андрей would be in danger, also STS website and for sure our
admins like our very important Роджер come under suspicion!

Actually, this kind of jokes should be avoided in these boards and I am the first breaking the rules. Maybe it is because I feel too much confortable with these subjects once I don't have any kind of afiliation. However, I shouldn't forget that Germany was divided by a wall until recently, it was prety much yesterday and surely it remains still alive among those who experienced it personally. Inspite of that, I am still interested in a Leningrad Fox.

Yes Roger, I understand what you mean and in general politics has no topic on STS. But a little bit humor at political facts sometimes are vey relaxing and not wrong.

I love that little pike in the advert photo. Don't expect to ever actually get one...

Yesterday was our "local" collector meeting, together with Ralf ( Yurumi). We visited that small exhibition. The most animals was really toys and only a few was more naturally. But all was huge, much bigger than Major brands. Here a few pics











all from OHG Leningrad

Some nice models in between

Thank you for sharing this piece of history with us. These toys show how important they are, mainly when life is more difficult.

The Asian? elephant is a very nice model indeed.

I like the pudgy little 'hamster'. Interesting that Russian toys from that era would feature a turkey, a North American endemic.

I enjoyed seeing the photos. The wolf is very nice looking, and I like the stylization of many of the models.

Very interesting, some great toys there
Thanks for bringing us the photos Andreas

Interesting models!
