| While I was scrolling through this site here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] which I don't think you can buy from but it has an interesting overview of some of the model animals out there, I came across some dog figures that were by a brand called 'Animal Empire', owned by the company Lilliput International. Apparently they were made in 2020 and they look wonderful, I love that Akita! [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]I'd never heard of this brand before and decided to do some research, especially as these figures were released recently (And so maybe more could come in the future) and also because to me they looked very nice for tube sized figures! I found some more from their website, which is here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]It seems that they sell lots of copies/ bootlegs, especially from major brands, but the dogs definitely aren't. If you search under products, and then 'Animal Empire' or 'Animal Theme Toys' there are some sets of figures that look quite interesting- but with my limited knowledge of other animals I wasn't sure whether they were copies or not! But I thought I'd post the Animal Empire sets here first just in case (They may be copies) but there are more on the website if anyone is interested! There are lots of dinosaurs!

And maybe they will release some more animals in the future, I think I read somewhere that the dogs are hand painted which is always a good sign! |

| I think this might be a distributor rather than a manufacturer. A lot of those dinosaurs are Chap Mei. And that set of dinosaur minis looks to be CollectA knockoffs. _________________ Where I try to find the best figure of every species: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] |

| The horses are copies of Safari models.The dog set looks very interesting.I have seen the XXL Bully on various Chinese websites but only singly and I think they were copies of another maker. |

| Very good work researching it and you're presenting everything correctly. Lilliput International Co is a dealer and a manufacturer, a brand asks and they manufacture. Let's suppose Southlands wants to make a mini series of their models, they can ask Lilliput International Co and they make it. The brand is Animal Empire, it seems to be a fashion these days where these Chinese manufacturers have their own brand with known designs. I would love to know the manufacturing information on CollectA's minis. Safari tubes, Wild Republic tubes, those are all manufactured by Chinese companies that are not exactly a Chinese branch of the parent company. Somewhat like the Wing Mau that manufactured to many North American brands. |

| Thank you so much everyone for the comments and information! [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] That's interesting about the Dinosuars, it seems that this brand have a bit of everything, copies, distributing other brand's figures, and their own models! [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] That's interesting about the horses, yes I suspected they might be copies! I've also seen a much larger version of the Bully like you have- I believe the larger plastic ones are copies of the resin Mr. Z models! It's interesting that they've made a scaled down version and chosen this breed for this set! [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] That's so interesting, thank you! That's fascinating about the minis, I would love to know more about them too! I never knew that some brands turn to these Chinese manufacturers to make their miniature models! |
