And how many years old?

Hong Kong figurines were mostly produced in the late 1960's and 1970's, and some in the early 1980's.
After that they became China figurines.
I do have the same lion, twice actually, but much smaller in the 1:64/1:72 scale, and made in China(probably early 1980's).
they look very much like the lions that guide the entrances in Chinese buildings and hallways.

How wonderful, you found out how to insert pictures

Ninna, I LOVE your old lion a lot
It looks so ancient and wise. It is clear that is is a much-loved lion
There is nothing like a figuere one has had for really many years

The others are beautyful also, they really have style

PS, Willy, I can not see the lion is the same as yours

Thank you,Susanne I also have couple of this small lions,not my favorite actually.But this one is made of the strangest material,it's the only figure of that kind of plastic that I have.Anyway,thanks for the info.
Here are some more:
This is the oldest animal package I have,I remember that I got them when I was about four years old and I remember how the package looked like-it was half plastic with blue cardboard.They are my favorites of whole my collection,I know they don't worth much but to me they are priceless I would be soooo happy if someone could find a photo of this package,I'd like to see it again so badly.And also I am missing a giraffe It is small and plastic and in one light orange colour,if somebody have one to spare,let me know

Yes Susanne, my little lions do look the same as the bigger one, only slightly different.
They are not the nicest indeed, but they have something special about them like i said, a real Chinse connection...

I never saw this set of animals before, and neither one of those models, same for the bears in different colours, very nice old stuff!
All of your horses are westernn and medievel horses for knights, and army.
The smaller one on the front misses his footpatch, he is made by Jean Höffler Germany.
The running horses in white and black on the right behind,and the black second row front left, are probably made in Hong Kong, but Britains copy's.
And a lot of those horses are made in the USA in the 1960's or so.
The standing lightbrown horse in the centre is a western horse made by Timpo Toys Scotland in the 1970's.

I got this horses and bears together in a huge lot of 250 figures for 50$ few months ago.What a catch!Thank you so much for the info!

Ninna, what is the figure in your Avatar ?
Is it a horse ? I keep looking at it, but it is so small. Is it possible for you to send a larger picture of it, please ?

That's My little pony dressed like Lady Gaga

Pooor tiger, perhaps you should give him a bandage on

I love those rhinoes, - and the sparrow. Do you know where that sparrow comes from ?
Your collection is wonderful

Thank you very much but those are hippos,Susanne I don't know anything about anybody from this pictures.so if anyone does,please help

Of course they are hippos
Sometimes my English fails me

I totally understand,I didn't use my english for 10 years or so

Wow ! And you write it so well !!!!
It must be terribly difficult for you compared to Russian
At least Danish has a lot of words that resemble English

Well,thanks,online dictionary helps I've allways loved english,I remember how happy I was when we started learning it in school(in fourth grade)because everything I was interested in-movies,music,it all was in english.My speaking english is very good,but my spelling is not as it was.So I started to read in english again

Reading English is a good practice .
I started by reading the novels of Dick Francis in English.
( The one who always writes about a poor, brave and honest guy among crooks in the horse racing world.)
They are so exiting, I just HAD to keep reading, and after a while it goes much easier

More old figurines, but not worth very much, so be carefull to pay to much for them...
You should get them for a few cts each normally.
Mainly because they are figurines from the 1970's, but mostly copies of more known brands.
The 3 horses on the right are Britains copies again, from the cowboy series.
Thoese were made by Britains in a higher quality, and in the Swoppets series, where you could change riders, and more parts, but in a lower quality.
The most left black panther is a Prior Hong Kong model maybe, i have the spotted version, but it is marked as Prior to under the belly.
The hippo's are produced in Hong Kong or Singapore in the 1970's, and i never saw a known brand who produced this model.
The austrich and pelicans are Britains copies again...

These are mostly my figures from my childhood :lol:Now I buy most figures at flee markets so they don't cost much.For example latest figures in my collection(with that so called fox and tapir)came in the lot with Kinder surprise figures(160 figures)and I payed 10 euro for everything

Thanks for showing your collection! Nice you can find them in flea markets for such nice prices! :)
