I think I have the bottom one Taylor, but it came in a bundle so no idea where it's from.

What are these 2 crocs please?

The top one looks like TIMPO, the other one I don't know. But I thought TIMPO are normally marked ENGLAND.

The top one is from Timpo or a "Singapore" very inspired from. :)

That explains it!

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?

I have no answer for now

The green one is probably a Marx copy

thank you very much Roger, Christophe and Alain, and there are no marks on either of them that I can see

So the top one is a "Singapore". 

It is the first croc I had before the Starlux and the Prior ones when I was eight or nine old! I loved him because he was floating very well in the puddles so that I just could see its muzzle, eyes and back line at the water surface, like true ones! The other ones could not swimm.. :)

Plastic. Size as AAA seagull. Probably vintage French brand. Any ideas? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Hard plastic or soft ?

Semi... of the type Hausser figures 1:32

Not a very common material in France

I am sure that someone knows the provenance of these animals. When I was a child had some of these but in black with greenish touches in the paint. They are rubber and only these two are marked on the base.

I have these models as well in slightly different colouring

I have the pheasant and maybe a roe deer but no brand name.

I remember having the "stoat" and "fox" in the past, I think they are Chinamals

I like the stoats!

Beautiful
I love the pheasant and the fox, it could even be personalized as a fox Corsac

Many thanks for the info to all!

those are some bright colours! How interesting, I wonder who made them?

I'm not a big fan of rhinos (I think it's because when I was a child I "had to choose" between them and hippos, and I stuck with the latter). But when a rhino figurine fascinates me, it moves up places over other species that I would prefer to prior.
Most of us know this mold, but I don't know the brand of this particular one:
- I think it was made in Spain. The only two I have seen I found them here. It also has a very characteristic smell, the same that the Spanish rubber figures have (Jecsan, Pech or Lafredo). It is a very characteristic smell that I have not noticed no other rubber figure.
- the figure is rubber, not plastic or metal like its distant cousins of other brands.

Any ideas?

I know this model and I agree it might be Spanish but I can't help for the brand unfortunately.

Other vintage unknowns. Probably Spanish (with molds inspired by several brands from Spain and France). Small size and plastic (somewhat translucent).

I think they were bought around 1995?
