Kaiyodo Asahiyama Zoo

I got these Kaiyodo Asahiyama Zoo figures and wanted to put them onto TAW, but aren't quite sure where.

Currently, there are 5 sets of Asahiyama Zoo figures listed on TAW, but not these. They look quite old, so I wonder whether they preceded set 1 on TAW. Does anyone know more about them?

A interesting set

I think there were multiple releases of the Asahiyama Zoo set. You can see more here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Very, very interesting and unusual models !!!!

Thankyou very much for sharing

Thanks. Yes, they are good, even though I prefer my animals without cages. Quite small, even for Kaiyodo standards. They can still be found quite cheaply on the Japanese auction sites.

There were indeed several Asahiyama Zoo releases. TAW lists them very nicely as 1-5, but where do these fit in? My feeling is that they preceded number 1 and that the other sets should be renumbered, but it's just a guess.

I am now thinking these were not produced by Kaiyodo at all but by Yuijn. Look at this Asahiyama set by Yujin: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
A lot of similarities.

I got these figures in their bags, but they don't help much in identifying the brand. They show "FamilyMart", but this is a Japanese convenience store chain, unlikely to be the maker.
