The laying down lion cub looks like Nardi...

Many brands copied Elastolin/Hausser! :)

what's the lizard?

?.. looks like Lacerta agilis..  :)

That's a dangerous world, Alain!

These are so beautiful, the detail and powerful poses are wonderful!

Gorgeous models! I love that tiny lizard! Bonnie is right, the dramatic poses and detail in the muscle and fur are lovely.

the lizard is so cute! looks like an iguana ?
and I really like the standing lion's curly tail. Such splendid detail in all of them. Stunning!
They are all very lovely figures, well done Alain!

I know but I am very very very prudent stripedhyaena!

Thank you Annette!

Beautieful additions, especially the lizard :)

Many thanks to you all Rogerio, Jill, Bonnie and Andreas for your comments! Je

I don't think it is a Nardi, the end is different on this one, more closed to the body I think.

I first thought it was a Pfeiffer but it isn't. Another msyterious thing I guess

Really lovely additions especially the Wild boar and the Ibex!

Thank you Christophe and Taos!

Indeed, I was not mistaken. The cub lion lying down is NARDI.
Surely the most valuable piece of the whole set. Nardi Fratelli’s features are unmistakable!

 oops! I forgot to shoot the basilic alone..

Nice lot! Were they new? What size are they? I recognise the puffin, but what species do you think the other birds are?

We know these as Nayab, I guess but as it happens often with Nayab, they might be something else.
I really love the hoopoe, I don't think we know other models of this emblematic bird.

 I don't know if they were new for it was my first visit in this shop.. about the birds, the blue one makes me think to Victoria crowned pigeon, the 2 black ones to puffins yes, the tall 2 others maybe to cranes and the yellow one to a gull (?).. I hope somebody will help.. :)

 Here is a comparison picture with Starlux crocodile little model:

 Thank you Rogério!.. :)  Would you mean the blue bird could be a hoopoe?..

Yes, haven't you heard about the blue crested hoopoe? They're endemic to aquaria and you only can find them there.
Sorry, I went to the TAW page about Nayab birds and while watching the hoopoe I brought it to this topic. I was really refering to the blue bird but it is not a blue hoopoe. It might be the 2nd version of the crowned pigeon, no?
