thank you Taylor. They are Noahs Pals. I got them from Kikimalou :)

I found a surprise the other day when I was repacking my collection. About 90% is permanently packed away for the time being, and I came across a batch of Starlux I had completely forgotten I even had

and a while ago I had spent ages looking at some figures on here for sale and drooling over them. Only to discover the other day that I already had them!

Here they are, one of each, but I've taken lots of pics. All except the mother giraffe who came from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Very nice and they look to be in excellent condition. Glad you discovered them before you bought them again although that wouldn't be a bad thing either

What nice finds! Starlux are such beautiful figures, and those are really nice. I love the bison especially, he's so expressive, and the elegant panther. Also love all those tiny friends in the earlier post! Those skunks are indeed really precious, but that tiny llama is also excellent. And that cat is SO tiny!!

Very interesting animals in your collection. My favorite is the dimetrodon by Toy Mayor.

It is splendid figure.

Wonderful oldies

Great bunch of Starlux you found. Nothing better than discovering that you already have the figures that you wanted. The lion, moose and rhino are my favourites. Christophe's giraffe looks fantastic too; my impression is that it is quite rare. It may be better not to store Starlux in boxes. I don't know whether it is true, but some people believe it is better to air them to prevent the acetate disease.

Wonderful Starlux!
I will have to lookout for those lovely Striped Skunks!

ha ha yes that would be funny and nice! I nearly did buy the bison again but I ended up choosing some other 'more wanted's instead
indeed they are all in pristine condition. Funny how I cannot remember getting them, it must have been a very very long time ago.

thank you Jill, yes Starlux are beautiful - elegant and interesting!
and thanks for liking the tiny friends too - I got the minuscule fawn coloured cat from @whitelighteningwolf and the black sitting one too. Can't remember where I got the tiny llama from.
The skunks have a lot of detail in them and are very characterful

Thank you very much! I'm quite an eclectic collector    and I have a few dinosaurs as well

Indeed Roger, it was a big surprise. I'm so happy to have the big giraffe, and very happy to discover that I had the baby too :)
The fine detailing on the lion is wonderful, and I love the rhino's detail too, it is very special with all the lumps and the moose has very fine antlers and legs
I think these have been stored in a cardboard box for well over 15years. Each was wrapped in thick kitchen roll paper with plenty of space around them. Perhaps that makes a difference ?

Thank you Taylor! I will also keep an eye out for the skunks for you too

I love your wonderful clear photos of these beautiful and delicate Starlux models!

thank you very much Bonnie!

here are some flocked made in China models that I got a while ago
the large ones have Totsy, Made in China on a gold sticker under them and nothing under the small zebra and kudu - which are exactly the same mould as Toy Concepts animal friends
there is no mark in the baby kudu's forehead for horns

and I got the rest of the little Toy Concepts animals in a super trade with Bowhead Whale ! Thank you Bowhead Whale !
I love flocked animals a lot :) and have a few different ones in my collection.
When I was in primary school I went to a local wildlife park and I remember spending time in the park's shop looking at all the animal toys. With my pocket money I bought some small ones and also a beautiful larger flocked sitting tiger that I still have today.

here they are all together

the oryx from this set is on my wishlist

Very nice, I remember when I was about 12 getting a flocked Zebra from a marine park in Skegness. It was nice but weird they sold zebras at a marine park

The flocked animals are so nice, and nostalgic - I have vague memories of seeing them a very long time ago, though I never owned any, so perhaps it was in a zoo or wildlife park gift shop, we did go to a couple of those on school trips. The kudu is my favourite, just lovely to see a more unusual species outside the typical choices for these ranges.

Congratulations

These flocked animals are lovely and really well made!

I am glad you like and have Starlux models of my childhood and I like the flocked models too! I have some Toy Concept: Gorillas, wolves, lion and Teddy bear looking standing brown bear!

thank you! a flocked zebra sounds wonderful! I think they were maximizing the park's income by providing for all animal lovers
I was happy to see animal toys anywhere I went

thank you Alain! yes the Starlux is a beautiful make :) I think my favourite may be the eating zebra, which I am lucky to have
I looked on the wiki page I can't see any reference to the wolf there! Do you have a photo of it ?

Here they are:

thank you so much for the photo Alain, you are blessed to have them

I am glad you enjoy them so much! :)
