copies of ? and Schleich

3,90 euros each box!.. the same size than the schleich and Papo original ones.  You can also find zebras, lions, giraffes, elephants, leopards (with a jaguar!), African buffaloes and brown bears (but I did'nt find them)..

The orangutan with baby is a Safari Ltd copy

so, only girls in this box! :)

i'm sure they will turn up in one of my local discount shops!!

I hope these do not ruin our beloved companies. I also can find some good copies in importants shops as Toys'r'us. Could you show a picture of the back of the box?

When I was a child, I was happy to find little very cheap soft plastic animals and soldiers to play with, because Starlux ones were rather expensive and I could buy only few of them as soon as I could save some money. I realised later that these very cheap figurines sold by packs were copies of big brands like Clairet, Cyrnos, Cofalu etc..

So, I am happy that chidren without many money can afford to play with cheap copies because Schleich or Papo replicas are far too expensive for them..

I don't feel guilty to have bought these copies because I bought the original figures before, and I never command chinese cheap copies of models from big brands I don't have yet because I can afford to pay them at their fair price justified by the great work they need to present the high accuracy level we  all want!.. but you're right Roger, these chinese copies may present a danger for the big brands like they ruined historical french brands in the past!..

These boxes were not in back but just displayed on shelves.

I have a few knockoffs too. Most I have the originals but not all. I don't recomend this kind of figures but I also don't criticize who buy them. I agree with the money question once I live in a country with very low salaries. but I always believe there are other ways to make good unexpensive toys. I didn't mind seeing these cheaper toys made without too much research but with designs made with love and imagination.

I have seen that in Germany too
