Correct - this is what Timpo thought a gorilla looked like!

Wonderful and unusual designs. Gorilla and rhino result from very artistic interpretations.

I don't know what or who is Plastic Warrior 2011 but I can't agree with this list.

Timpo didn't produce any monkey but three apes, the Gorilla, the Orangutan inspired by Lineol series III Orangutan (Monkey on tree) and a Chimp with ball (Baboon... Laughing ) inspired by the Lineol III Gorilla with ball.

We had some discussion about the TIMPO monkeys and apes here: https://sts-forum.forumieren.de/t21706-two-old-england-models-from-timpo

I assumed that the catalogue numbers and species mentioned in the Plastic Warrior came from TIMPO catalogues. The species don't always make sense, that's true. It may be another case where the identified animal differs from the way it was marketed. The mountain goat also looks more like an ibex (though the painted version is white).

Yes I remember now this topic.  study  I was a bit involved in Laughing

We don't know if the animal identification is made by TIMPO or by Plastic Warrior. Even the offical catalogue pics aren't helpful.

But, since I'm collecting I learned one thing: Never believe in the identifications provided by Toy soldiers collectors. They often show little interest in wild animals and their identifications are sketchy. It's true for France and I'm sure it's the same in the UK.
I have a book on metal animals (Aluminium and Hollowcat lead) by Jean-Michel Tisné, a great metal toy soldier collector highly esteemed in the collector world, there are still some bad identifications, whether for the species or for the brand.
Many Starlux collectors refer to the "Loup cervier" as the "Maned wolf". Even Google will translate "Loup cervier" into "Maned wolf". Yet the name "Loup cervier" designates a Lynx from Europe or Canada...

The same for the Timpo "Mountain goat", does this name come from a Timpo catalogue or from Plastic Warrior imagination ?

What seems to be sure is that Timpo gorilla, hippo, polar bear, croc and kangaroo have been copied by Hong Kong brands!

If Plastic Warrior made up the species, then we can ignore them. It would be good to have a TIMPO catalogue that shows the zoo animals, but the catalogues I can find don't have them. Hopefully Chris sees this and can give us more information.

And yes, there are many copies of TIMPO animals.

I have a few Timpo catalogs and the only official identification I could find is for Hollowcast lead animals. The Ibex is indeed called Mountain goat (but it is different from the plastic one), on the other hand the two monkeys are called monkey, no baboon... And no Orangutan either

It seems likely that TIMPO used the same names for the plastic animals that they had previously used for their metal versions. It suggests that the Plastic Warrior made up the species but we can't be completely sure.
