Ok, i was already back in the Netherlands then, although i often visited Germany, as my older brother still lived in Münich...
Of course they sold those figurines rather to the west, that brought more money i guess...

But not so much. I was like today a chinese set with animals, if i remember me right the price for a set was 10 DM.

How many animals in one set then Andreas?

That was animals, they was really rare. I know the small cat was a gift from a girl in my first class in the school and that was in the christmas time. The cat was a untensil from a gingerbread house.

The little cat is from the Ferrytale-set(M-002) with Hänsel und Gretel, but only in black in DDR times.
Later Marolin made a white, creme and brown version to.
I really dont know if Froma gave these away to, i only have those white plastic very thin plastic figurines from this company.

Thanks Willy!! I got my cat in the year 1982.

Thanks for the pic Susanne, i think your kitties are all made by Marolin.
Nice group of variations by the way, but i don't wonder, as you are the queen of Denmark, uuuhhh, of variations...
By the way, i saw a nice movie last night about a young girl, and the crownprince of Denmark, called "The prince and me"... :)

...christmas season...
