I grabbed these guys off of ebay recently as I just had a feeling they were unique... I guess I was right. On our wiki these aren't listed, and as they are marked 1994 and with a letter they must be from this set here:https://toyanimal.info/wiki/Toy_Major_Reptiles
Unfortunately there's not much info there. So I ask, does anyone have any information on this set in particular? Or at least take a stab at species identification (I am hopeless in this department). If additional photos are required I can easily provide more. All 3 are quite small, only a few centimeters/around 2 inches long.

Marked 1994 G

Here are some results of a quick google search... not much information though. This set has the green figure and a different color of my yellow one I think.

The blister you linked is very interesting, it is not supposed that I do it but I will post it on forum, I am not selling them, just showing the picture.
It shows the product number and we can see Toy Major's logo.
I think they are 8 but sold in sets of 4, at least you have one marked G that corresponds to the 7th figure of a set.
I will post them on TAW as generic turtles and as it often happens, joining all the pieces of the puzzle, someday we will find how many and what they are.

Excellent idea Roger! I really hoped to find something more about them, but I am happy I decided to buy them after all to contribute to this mystery. Hopefully someday we can get more answers!

What timing- I just received a batch of Safari Carnegie dinosaurs I ordered off Shopgoodwill a few weeks back, and there was a small sea turtle hiding in with the dinos. It would like to come stay with you when everything is cleared at my end.

The letter on it looks like a 'G' to me, could be a C or???

So I never got around to documenting Kelly's sea turtle here but that was actually in good luck as he welcomed a new friend. The red-brown tortoise looking one is marked F also, and the sea turtle is marked C.

Thank you everyone! This isn't the most important mystery but I enjoy my lucky happenstance sleuthing. It looks like I have 3 from the set pictured above.

I found a variant of 'A'. Interested in him? Paint is duller, and markings lighter.

Better late than never. I´ve found my 2 Toy Major turtles. They are bigger and with more details than your figures, but marked the same: "1994 T.M.". The land tortoise is A, the sea turtle C.

Has anyone an idea for the identification of the land tortoise?

Strange, the same turtle looks two different species depending of each picture we use.
I'd suggest a keeled box turtle but I am not that positive about it. Identification of these turtles were never easy but I truly believe they intend to represent anything plausible.

Thanks for your suggestion. I think "keeled box turtle" works for my figure for the moment, until someone can say something more accurate :) Thank you!

You're welcome! I think [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] may be able of finding a much better identification. Very Happy Let's hope he finds this topic.

Thanks Duck-Anch-Amun for your update! Your larger turtles are lovely.

And another 2 makes 7! The yellow is marked D and the other F.

And given the slow idiot I am... I finally realized that the two pairs on the far right are the same sculpt but different paint.
