Some nicely made in China copies

The Papo Cheetah,a rather good copy of the Collect A Water Buffalo,and a Spanish bull-found these on a day trip to a neighbouring town in a tiny toyshop and sadly only one model of each as would have gotten others to trade!The Water Buffalo is from an importer called Nugar in Eindhoven and the Spanish bull is from an importer called Toinsa in Madrid.

All these large Nayab models-again from Toinsa-I found in a small supermarket in the centre of the town!I went in to but a drink and walked down an aisle to the checkout and passed a tiny toy section with a box of model animals and the Capybara caught my eye and when I looked in the box I found the rest!and sadly again only one model of each animal!

The Nayab animals have either an English name or Latin name underneath so there is
Spotted skunk
American badger-a rather blue one!
Raccoon
Capybara
The mongoose looking animal has Suncus murinus-Asian house shrew!!!!!!!!!!!
Beaver
Giant Armadillo
Bradypodidea-Three toed sloth

Other interesting batch, I like the toro de lidia, the giraffe and horse.

congratulations.

Great holiday catches :)

I love the armadillo best but all of them are wonderful!

The Nayabs are interesting concerning their size. Maybe we have now some more figurines for the TAW. I´m especially interested what Roger thinks about those critters.
The latin name of the mangoose/marten-like figurine is funny I have this figurine, too and I´m not sure about the species. But I´m sure that it doesn´t present a shrew

Great souvenirs! The bull is especially nice.

Great additionas

For some reason I love the skunk most

Thank you all.
The mongoose like model is a hard one to figure out.Possibly an Aquatic genet?

What's the likelihood that you found that armadillo, as I had a dream last night about this figure (it looked identical) even though I'd never seen it before

They are truly great additions, and now I want the genet and armadillo !

Bravo Taylor! You can find new figures everywhere, including tiendas. :)
We will need for TAW, pictures of the Nayab extralarge skunk, armadillo, mongoose, capybara and if possible also the badger, yours is an interesting variant.
I wished the mongoose was a house shrew instead but I will probably list it just as a dwarf mongoose.

No problem,Roger,will get those pictures for TAW.I will amend my model to Dwarf mongoose as well!

Taylor, I already entered them at the wiki but I'd love to know exactly what is marked in that armadillo and badger. I have the info from another collector that the badger is marked as an European badger although he got it from a North American polybag. About the armadillo, is it specifying it is a giant?

Hi Roger,
The badger has American badger on the underside and the armadillo has Priodontes maximus on the underside.

Thanks Taylor, I was wrong about the badger being marked as an European badger. It is the Wild Republic version, from a North American set, that is painted exactly like an European badger although it is marked American badger as yours. My confusion is maybe also because the lynx of that polybag is marked with the scientific name of the Eurasian lynx. Thanks also for telling what is marked on armadillo, now I understand the giant thing.
