| That looks like him, yay Jill! Mystery solved! The same squared-off pectoral fins. I don't remember the marine set, but my little brother had the Space Shuttle one. I played with it. Think I still have 1 or 2 of the astronauts in my Darth Vader head. (You're right about the typos. Word choice is very confusing!) |

| It seems Jill found it indeed! That Adventure People series from Fisher-Price looks very cool. I am sure I would get really excited if I had found one of these during my childhood. I will post the picture with the Lego block on TAW. Thanks for comparison, do you think it is a tiger shark too? I am glad your hatchet is not suffocating anymore, soon it will stop sweating. Here a F-P pic I also found online. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

| Hooray, I'm glad he found his place in the world! That's a much better picture of the whole set, I couldn't fins anything very large at all. |

| I found the astronauts lol. He has compatriots now. Today my mom found a box of my daughter's old toys in her garage. Sorry for the bad photo, after 10-12 years in a dusty dirty garage in the Florida heat and humidity they desperately needed a bath, and my draining towel is an unfortunate background color. The jumping horse has the stickies. I'm keeping the shepherd, others would like homes though I may keep a couple. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]A box from Shopgoodwill a friend is sharing with me also arrived. I didn't photograph everything, a lot is probably not of interest. I will edit in the link if anyone would like to see the whole batch. Not everything is being kept by my friend or I. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The larger figures here (they could use a bath too!) [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]These tiny guys also [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Size comparison photo of the tiny dogs and one of the Mini Whinnies with a Stablemate. I should have added the miniscule Siamese, it's almost microscopic. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][/url] These fish are *drool* they'll be staying with me |

| Beautiful fish! I would be interested in many of the mini whinnies/stablemates and the spotted pinto in the first pic top right corner, and maybe the sitting pinscher if they aren't spoken for.

| Thank you! I wonder what they are; maybe New Ray? They are reminiscent of gashapons in hand. I have you for the Mini Whinnies; the pinto Stablemate is a rather poorly done paint your own from the thrift store if you want to change your mind, but it's yours if you want it. The warmblood Stablemate in the comparison photo is available if you like it. I think the pinscher is spoken for; it's a hard plastic (celluloid?) Hong Kong figure. |

| So many wonderful models- that must have been amazing, to find a box filled with so many animal figures! And a fantastic selection of dogs in there too! I love those sweet little retrievers from the New Ry hunting sets, and the bigger ones too are lovely- definitely a good idea to keep the Shepherd, he's such a nice model! I'll send you a PM! |

| The retrievers go perfectly with the Breyer Stablemates, same scale. I got them a while ago, they are very nice. Are they Labrador retrievers?
What is the minuscule Siamese? A Siamese cat? If it is minuscule, I may be interested. What is the bird in the photo with the Newray dogs? A bald eagle? |

| Thanks, everyone!
Roger, the little dogs do indeed seem to scale well, and they appear to be Labradors. The Dobie actually could also, some bloodlines like Warlocks can be quite large.
The Siamese is a tiny sleeping cat that came with the accessories with the horses. In the horses on the towel photo, it's above the Lego bricks. The brown wings extended bird is a bald eagle (besides the turkey, both others are pheasants). Its feet look like it was originally posted on a branch or somesuch. |

| You are right, Dobermans can be very large. Thanks, the cat is indeed minuscule, but still too large; mine need to be microscopic . |

| That's fine! It would have to be a big cat to be at your scale. Maybe a Maine coon mix? I took a picture anyhow, here it is with a tiny white tiger that begs to be repainted a cat that I found. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

| Here's a couple more stowaways found in the dollhouse stuff. The puppy will be going with its parent to a new home. I believe all are New Ray. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

| Lovely finds, especially the little Dalmatian pup! Such a sweet model, and even though he's so small he has a perfect level of detail! And I love how New Ray haven't exaggerated his cuteness and kept him looking like a natural puppy- because natural puppies for me are always the sweetest! |

| Found a few more of my daughter's figures (dinosaurs this time) as we clean out my mom's garage. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Also stopped at a flea market today and found these figures. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Including this strange ugly spiky toad thing that sticks out its tongue when you press its back. I love weird ugly things, so... Stamped Disney Lucasfilm, so not appropriate here and too big but it's cool anyhow. |

| Oh, the charcharodontosaurus, humpback and gray whale! What brand is the smilodon? Does it have a stamp anywhere? _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

| I remember thinking how cool the Dagobah critters were, and the sunset toad (worrt) on Tatooine, and wishing Kenner made more of the creatures from the films. Thanks Blaine! The Disney threw me- don't care for the creatures from the newest trilogy.
Paige, the Smilodon is stamped 2016 Fox. Must be from some film. It's smooth and somewhat stylized, but I thought it an attractive and decent figure. Only weird part is little blue spots on the ears like earrings, but a repaint could fix that. Yours if you want it. |

| What a nice sight to start my day. Fortunately my pc display does not look like a mirror or I'd get worried. |
