I picked this figure up in an Ebay lot. It's missing an ear, but I figured it was still important to post it, since I could find very little info about it, outside of the fact that it comes from the Joy City Ltd. Wildlife Tube. I honestly think it looks much more like a cheetah, but the bottom is clearly marked 'leopard', so oh well. This figure is currently for sale on my Ebay if anyone is interested [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

A very nice model Very Happy

I know absolutely nothing about the brand, but can see it on TAW study

In TAW it says the models are diecast models, - isn't that metal models ???? scratch

The mention to diecast is to introduce the company as best known for their metal injected car miniatures. It is the same as saying Larami is best known for their water guns or Maia & Borges for their Comics. Diecast is really a term used for metal car miniatures but it is never used to animal figures. Hollowcast is more used with animals. These figures are made of a very rubbery material, at least those I own are. It is one of these Hong Kong companies that make cheap toys to several brands, supermarkets, etc.
Don't be surprised about your leopard/cheetah, this kind of models are always very ambiguous regarding spotted wild cats. Just check this rhino - it is supposed to be a Sumatran rhino and it is clearly an African white rhino. Purely an example of exagerated modularity.
