Some Interesting Sets!

Subject: Some Interesting Sets! Sun 27 Dec 2020, 19:52

About a week ago I went on a dog figure hunt before we locked down, but I didn't forget my animal collecting friends on STS and took a few photos of some sets of plastic animals! Very Happy

Obviously the quality isn't the same as major brands, but the figures were still quite nice!
Firstly some Toy Major sets:

And then this animal set, which came with a children's book about the animals. There was also a sharks, bugs and possibly reptiles equivalent Very Happy

But I thought the cheetah was quite nicely done- simplistic but capturing the animal well!

And finally these wonderful Peterkin reptiles! Very Happy

Recently on the forum we have been talking about the amazing sculpts on the Peterkin dogs, with quite a few collectors adding them, and their reptiles really were just as good, if not better, especially the frilled lizard:

And on the subject of Peterkins, they have also released some very nice cats like their dogs here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I recognise the reptile set as it is at my local Toymaster, and I may pick it up next time I go, also thank you for showing the other sets which are beautiful too

I'd definitely recommend the reptile set from what I saw! Very Happy

And so glad the other sets were interesting too! Very Happy

Could you share a comparison photo of the cheetah to any others you have? Great catch!

I didn't actually buy the sets- so sorry! Embarassed

But next time I go I'll remember to bring along the Schleich cheetah and take a comparison pic! It was quite small, maybe 3-4 cm high if I remember correctly! Very Happy

Oh geez if I could read correctly. geek

Sorry. The cheetah and black leopard look quite nice even if they are small.

That's interesting to know, yes they seem to be pretty standard plastic animals! Very Happy

And how wonderful to have the Peterkin cats too! cheers
