the complete set (pic from ebay)

Very interesting. A lot toyish but interesting. What are the blue birds?

I don't know, one looks like a vulture and the other one looks like a goose..

Very interesting topics you're bringing, Caracal! I love these premium figures!
It seems there is also a circus series.
It looks almost a Canadian wildlife set. A turkey vulture and a Canada goose could fit it, I guess.

Very, very interesting !!!

Thankyou for sharing all these great and informative photos

They are not as beautiful as Omo animals but at this moment, the childrens were very happy to collect and play with the the figurines from Davy Crockett's world: Mountain men, indians, animals.. or Bambi's tales! Thanks for your replies Andreas, Rogério and Susanne! :)

..and with the boar:




and from the circus serie:



from left to right: black panther, tiger and lioness

Those six animals are a treasure. congrats

you are serious Fernando?!..

Treasure because those figures were the ancestors of our collections.


I have many premium animals and I love them, although they are not very beautiful.

OK I understand better!

I remember these oldies of my youth. My friends had some but not me My father worked for another yaourt brand Stenval ( bought by Danone in the late eighties) so no Roche aux fées for me. I think the two white horses weren’t Roche aux fées, they came from a series called «  les chevaux du bonheur » ( Happiness horses), they were seven and I got them.

Thank you Christoph!
You are alright. The two white Horses are not marked with Roche Fees.
Can you tell me why this Horses called "Happiness horses"?
Benno.

The « chevaux du bonheur » were eight models inspired by a 3000 years old Chinese legend. It’s the tale of Mu, king of the Zhou, who travelled the world on a 8 horses charriot to meet the Mother Goddess of the West.

So the series had 8 white different horses.

Thank you Babdo for sharing these other models!

Christophe I have 4 of these "chevaux du bonheur" and wondered a lot where they were fom!.. I just used to call them "les chevaux fous" (mad horses) because they show rather strange attitude!

now I understand better their strange attitude and their "ivory looking"!


Thanks a lot Christophe for this information! but do you know if they were premiums and their brand?..

I love the little dog!

Very very interesting! What is that blue bird?

I’m not sure but I remember I got all of them in one batch so maybe it was a Stenval premium of the late sixties.

many thanks Christophe! :)

It’s only a guess Alain

Thanks to Legio and Mirof from french forum "Soldat plastique 1/32", I know now they are premium from "Jacquet".

Many thanks to have identify the range Christophe! :)
