Deep scales on the underside of the tails of both lizards.

Hi!
You may remember the old rubber Made in Hong Kong green lizard that I bought back in 1983 (could it be an ocellated lizard, with its ocellate-punctured type scales?). I think I told you that when I bought this lizard as a child, there were other models of lizards in the cardboard box with it, from the same line. That particular line of lizards were recognizable by a series of deep scales on the underside of their tails, a characteristics they all shared with each other. I always remembered there were a collared zizard in the line.
Well, the thing is, not long ago, I found that collared lizard on Ebay and I received it this morning. It has the very same deep scales on the underside of its tail, just like I remembered... and just like the ones on the underside of my old green lizard's tail, as you can see. Only, my old lizard is just marked "Made in Hong Kong" while the collared lizard is marked "T.S." in a big sun drawing.
Well, what is my point, exactly?
My point is that I am sure that THESE TWO LIZARDS ARE PART OF THE VERY SAME LINE, despite the diffrence in the marks; to me, this difference is caused by the fact that one of them is a knock-off while the other one is an original, like we see ROM dinosaur toys only marked "Made in Hong Kong" because they also are knock-offs of ROM, even if they are from the exact same molds (one mold being used by more than one company, I mean).

So, what do we do now? Do we create a T.S. page on TAW where we coulp bput BOTH lizards? Or do we wait until we have more informations? Maybe you may have informations about this particular line... or T.S. yourselves?

Your really good with the alternative world of toy animal figures. I can't find absolutely anything about T.S. Maybe we keep this topic until we find more information before opening a page on TAW.

I am expecting a third lizard from this set, a lizard I remember very clearly was among the lizards back in 1983 (I remember it because it has the very same colors as my old ocellated lizard, but it has wrinkled skin). It has the very same scales on the underside of its tail. Only, this one is also marked "TS" and not "Made in Hong Kong". I will post its picture here when I receive it.

My ocellated lizard can be seen in "Show Us Your Lizards" in the Show Us Yours" thread.

The “collared lizard” is clearly a frilled lizard.

Here is the third model of that set. It is marked "T.S." just like the frilled lizard. I received it this morning. It looks like the "Ocellated" lizard with its similar colors, but it is different by its wrinkled skin and its spread out legs. It too was a lizard I saw back in 1983 and it too has deep scales on the underside of its tail.
