Ensky is a company specializing in the production of animation surroundings, basically no animal figures.

Is this the squid you saw ? This squid is the perimeter of the Special Deep Sea Squid TV program produced by Ensky for NHK TV.

Thank you, yes the yellow squid it was :)

Do you have also a knowledge about vintage Hongkong figures? Or unmarked chinese figures. Especially also where to find?

I basically collect Japanese figures, so I know very little about other brands of figures.

Are unmarked chinese figures  like these? These models can be found on Taobao.

Hey Kosta,

This was a biological model exhibition in Japan in 2018, the four participants in the exhibition were all famous Japanese prototypers, these models were gk.

One of the prototypers collaborated with Kaiyodo, 樹山 (Kiyama), he participated in the production of the Kaiyodo WILD RUSH series, such as the lion of the WILD RUSH 1, the arctic fox of the WILD RUSH 3.

Ahh, so they are kind of prototypes ?
They are gorgeous

Ah, I see ... thank you very much for the info :)

But , I think, we will not have a chance to get these models then ..
Like Susanne said, they are gorgeous.
And this explain to me why I like so much the arctic fox of the WILD RUSH 3 ... as much as I like these.. :)

Roger, I think they are generics issued by one of the big contract-manufacturers in China, they have been around since the 2000's at least, mid-late 1990's more likely and I have them in another novelty wholesaler's catalogue somewhere, you can also get them with Soldiers, Sky-divers and Footballers (Soccer) in them!

I have a bunch somewhere, I got some (arctic animals and dinosaurs) out of the balls and they are very small, the shape of the ball naturally makes them look bigger through diffraction I think?
