AAA Orphans

Hi everyone! My name is Chris, I live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I was a AAA (Triple A, as I said it) collector as a kid. I recently decided it would be fun to finish the collection I never could afford to finish as a kid in the early 90's. I have a bunch of parent and baby/big and small pairs, but there are a bunch that I only have the baby/small of. I've been hunting on eBay, and have realized there are a LOT of varieties of the same animals. Before I go buying away, I was hoping someone here might be able to share a picture/link of some of the adult/big versions (or any other family members) of the ones I need. That way I don't end up buying anything I don't need. Thanks for the help everyone! Here's my orphans...

Leopard and Great White Shark (I actually recently purchased these two on eBay, thinking they were from the same time frame, being the Leopard looks similar to my Cheetah, and the Great White Shark looks similar to my Tiger Shark - Was I right?).

Welcome to the forum Chris, nice collection!

Thanks Harriet! They do - I was all about them as a kid. My allowance went to them every week!

Thank you so much!!! That was so nice of you to take the time to post those pics! I will begin the search!!

Hi, Chris, nice to meet you !
At last we have a member of the forum who´s main brand is AAA

I can contribute with the parent of the little Moose calf. They are wonderful, old figures, and were also sold by Bullyland once

I hope we see more when you find what you are looking for, - perhaps pictures of your other AAAs

Ohh, I found the dad of the little panther also

You're welcome :)

As Susanne said, it's nice to see someone who mainly collects AAA. I too use to spend all my money on them as a child but very foolishly sold nearly all of them !

Ohh, Rio, - what a shame

I always think when I see on Ebay something like " My son is not interested in these anymore.." I hope it is not just a fit of tidying up

Chris, here is a jaguar-parent

Welcome Chris!
As you see you've found the perfect forum! It's very interesting to see someone concentrated in AAA brand and I hope you have good luck finding them! :)
But we also want to see here your collection growing! I don't have any AAA but I love to see all collections! You know already post pictures, start topics, etc. So I hope to see many more!

Thanks Susanne! I never would have thought that little guy was a moose! Of all them, only two or three actually said their names on the bottom. I actually found an auction already with the panther parent, so I'm on my way to my goal thanks to you! I'll be sure to post some more pics soon!

He, he, yes, the moose-parent is a bit funny, too

Nice to meet you too!

Nice to meet you Chris

Its always great to see somebody elses collection, and it´s realy cool that you focuse on AAA, as "the big 5" (or 6) is the most common to collect.

Hope you find the ones you are looking for, and it would be realy great to see pics of your whole collection sometime

Hello Chris, welcome to our animal-crazy family here!

The adults for the hippo and Cheetah that anna(Arrakai) showed were correct indeed.
