beautiful imitations!

Do you think they have been painted? It seems there are painting remains..

No, it’s not the first time I came across animals of this series and they are always like that

Interesting!

Any idea?

are they made from a soft polythene? they remind me of that material and usually the paint comes off easily on that surface. Maybe that is why they have 'colour' in their recesses?

I didn't get them in a single batch. Every time I saw them, they were in this state. So I don't think they were ever painted.
It reminds me more of the figurines made in the 70s to imitate Chinese ivory figurines.

In fact, I searched the brand and nothing came out of any animal, but the Indian buffalo is really beautiful. So can you sell me a water buffalo? I already sent you a PM

Replicas of one of the Safari Authentics boxes. Same scale and rubber. No brand, only with the name of the animal on the belly or flank (some of them do not have it written).
Anybody knows?

Those are very cool, I especially like the little dot paw pads.

Does anyone know this elephant? It was sold as Merten, but I don't see it in their catalogues, so I am sceptical whether it is. It's made of a hard, creamy coloured plastic.

And this small fox, already shown by Annette in a different topic?

The elephant isn't a Merten for me, the material, the pose and size are far from Merten. Here they are: Two plastic and baby and a composition (it was also,produced in plastic)

Yes, I found your elephants in the Merten catalogues. They look very different from mine.

I've never seen that elephant model before Roger. It's rather interesting with the unusual pose.

Christophe those figures are nice, in particular the baby, it's very cute.
The last pic reminds me of the plastic Timpo? model.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] the Merten elephant calves are beautiful, I am still looking for them.... What scale? They are not listed in the catalog, true?
The Timpo in composition is Merten? Are there more Composite Merten in this scale?

The scale is 1/43. The Timpo in composition isn't a Timpo, this model was also produced in plastic.

Here are the Timpos

Merten is quite small at 1/43 then?
Thanks for the photo of the illustrations. These are very nice models and poses especially.

There is two series , on in 1/43, with numerous models and a "1/32" series with only a few wildcats that I know of.

That's right, there is a 4 cm and 6 cm series. The 6 cm series only has lions and tigers as far as I know.

All Mertens I have are marked "GERMANY". My elephant isn't so I don't think it is Merten. The question is, what is it?
