| I was very busy taking photos tonight! These are the ones I couldn't find on TAW and which have no helpful markings. They felt like sets, but maybe also like knock offs of sets. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you!!! Set of cetaceans/pinnipeds - all hard plastic, no markings [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Beaver - marked only China. Is it a knock off of the Nayab beaver? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Set of dogs and cats - all are rubbery plastic with a hole on the underside, no markings [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Comparing the Pekinese to the other Peke/Chin I have (Hang Shun Toys) [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]This mouse - marked Made in China [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Cat and Dog - seem to go together based on stamp text, Made in China. Cat looks like it might be a knock off of the Club Earth cats, but I don't have this specific original mold. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

| These are chinese figures. Hard to find the correctly maker. But the beaver is by Nayab i think |

| Thank you! I wasn't sure if a Nayab figure would have the brand name or not, and since this one doesn't, I thought he might not be the original. I had some hope these might be identifiable since some of my other unmarked creatures have been, but I would not be surprised if they are in fact more "random." Which, no problem, I have a growing "random" box. |

| I definitely recognise the walrus and seal which I have- unfortunately I don't know the brand but like Andreas I would guess generalised made in China figures! And now for the wonderful dogs! Such a gorgeous collie, the sculpt is so nice and I think this model would almost be perfect if it was repainted! I think this is probably one of those moulds that has been used across many brands, and this dog probably came in a made in China pack! If this helps I found a link, and I think that it's the same collie even though it's painted differently: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]The other two are lovely too! They are part of a series of 8 dogs made by Shing Hing Toys as pencil toppers! I have a Pomeranian from this series, here (Thank you so much to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] ) : [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]I hope this helps! |

| Nayabs often aren't marked with the brand names on the hollow " made in china" like models. The beaver looks like a nayab to me. I like those dog figures!

| Thank you both!! Bonnie, you're exactly right on the collie, because the cat, pig, cow, and poultry were also in this box. I didn't post some of them here because they were a little less interesting to me, haha, and also don't have the same stamps, so I didn't assume they went together. Pencil toppers perfectly explains that hole for sure! I'll admit I was hoping the Shih Tzu was going to be the one from the Club Earth set, from the photo. |

| More! I looked under Wing Mau (that's the logo, right?) and saw that there is a Kitties Collection, but no images. Wasn't sure if this was that, or something else. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]And this guy is the same mold as the Play Visions moropus, just a different color. Wasn't sure if it was just a knock off, or if there's a different set out there? He has 20 Moropus China stamped on him (like so many of my Play Visions/Club Earth/Something like that creatures).

| That is indeed a WingMau kitty. And what a strange looking striped figure! _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

| Thank you all! Yes, Roger, it’s that second one on the top in the photo, thank you! - Saarlooswolfhound wrote:

Isn’t he? I don’t know my prehistoric animals very well, so I had no idea what he was supposed to be in the photo of the lot. |

| To be fair, he does look like a tigerkangaroolizard, the way they've made him - so even if you'd heard of them before, I don't know you'd have immediately recognised him as one |

| Maybe we should open dedicated topics to see if we can find pictures of the Kitty and Pupy sets. They're nice actually. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]About the moropus, as we assumed here - number 20 is the number used to this mould on Play Visions series. It is used by other brands but markings are different. For now, it is safer to assume it is just a color variation of this model. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Picture from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]We could complete the series on TAW through the work developed [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Some pictures are not showing since the TAW was moved to a new platform but TAW won't let me to fix the topic for now and the set is complete anyway. |

| Nice, thank you! I will just let this guy hang out and not worry too much about him and if he has more in his alternate color set, as the prehistoric beasts are not as much my interest. I like those cats and dogs, though! I probably need another obscure little set to look for . . . |

| Good luck with the Wing Mau puppies/kittens! They're hard to find if you're looking for the whole set, though some appear not rarely. I only remember seeing them being sold new once, at a little toy shop in Key West. Haven't been able to make it down there again, and I'm unsure if it's still there even. |

| I have all the puppies and kittens but have repainted some of the puppies. I see them in some places near me. Maybe I will buy some extras next time I see them for anyone interested. _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.
