The zebra is an hollowcast plastic REISLER. Maybe it is not very realistic but he was born in 1955 in Denmark, so it is older that any member of this forum...
The two lion cubs are AAA

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
The wild boar is from a Chinese company which produce animal figurines and sell them to different imports companies.
At least, Willy, Lucky Luke and me have one but never from the same brand
The maned wolf is made in China and you can see a beautiful repainted one by Yurumi here :

It is a composition animal. It is not a LINEOL but I suspect it is an old HAUSSER ELASTOLIN. Any logo ?

HAUSSER-ELASTOLIN composition figurines.
I'm not sure for the tiger cub.

The small Kangaroo is a HAUSSER ELASTOLIN Lilliput.
The lions pair are REISLER.

The mongoose in the first pic is made in China.I had a lighter version,and I am repainting it now!

Anna these are fabulous! Wish I had some of them congrats on having some really old ones!

Great figures, sorry I can't identify any of them. The only ones I have are the AAA tiger cubs.

Reisler Never heard of it befor. Is it That old

I dont think the lioncubs are AAA, they dont have any mark, and they are about half the size of the AAA cubs

I wish some of the big brands would make a maned wolf, think they are beautiful

Never heard of prior eather. I dont think it´s bully, because I´ve scaned every mm of it, and cant find any brand anywere

Thanx for the help Can´t believe that so many of them were elastolin. And that some are from the 50´s

The lion cubs, I have the other cub that goes with them. Mine has it's paw up and is playing. They are a copy of the AAA lion cubs. Less realistic but more solid.

The lying down Donkey and Large lying down cow, I have seen them before, or something very similar, and they are actually on my aunties nativity set

I will try to give some extra info where possible

W:Reisler from Denmark is very hard to get, specially in good condition, maybe more in the Scandinavian countries...
Here is a link to the site of a Danish collector.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
I have those lioncubs too, they really look like AAA, often they are only marked with China under them.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

At least, Willy, Lucky Luke and me have one but never from the same brand

W:I don't have the wild boar yet, but for the rest Kiki is correct, it is made in China, and sold under different brands around here.

The maned wolf is made in China and you can see a beautiful repainted one by Yurumi here :

The Morning Sun Star is a Bully I guess

W:PRIOR is from Hong-Kong in the 1970's, they made a lot of Britains copies, although in a smaller scale.
The morningstar is Bully indeed, i traded it with another collector some months ago.
The little white dog in the middle and the little jumping goat on the right under are Reisler too.

They are JEAN Höfler (W-GERMANY) figures from the 1960's and 70's. They were bonus with several products. In France they were goodies of the "Heudebert" breakfast rusk

W:When marked with W.Germany they are from Jean Höffler indeed, here in Holland you got them with products of the Dutch supermarket "De Gruyter"(which doesn't exist anymore) , and they are marked with that then, instead of W.Germany.
They come painted and un-painted, and in different colours sometimes.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
These are HAUSSER ELASTOLIN from the 1970's.

W:Yes, indeed, they came in 2 scales, 54mm and 70 mm, the plastic feels kind of soft in your fingers, and they are handpainted, be carefull, the paint scrubs off easily.
The lightbrown horse is somewhat bigger then the 54mm(1:32) figurines.
I have them too.
The Bactrian camel is in the 70mm scale.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
All REISLER except the white horse which is HAUSSER-ELASTOLIN and the central squirell.

W:I have this horse too, that is correct, Hausser Elastolin, they were made in several colours, like most of the horses, and the cows too.(54mm)

You can find the H-E squirrel in Kiki's and my collection, like more of the models shown here(see the link under my treads)
The brown horse is a copy of the Hausser Elastolin model.(maybe Reisler too?)
The dark pony next to the squirrels is Reisler again.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
The sealion is a REISLER

W:I only recognize the lying brown calf, it is Reisler too.
The donkey, sheep and cow(ox) are from a Christmas stall, but i don't know which brand.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
The two smaller elephants are HAUSSER ELASTOLIN
The horse is REISLER.

The little lion is from a Corgi Toy set, "Lions of Longleat" from the 1960's.

W:When it isn't a Hausser Elastolin, maybe Tipple Topple from Austria or so.
By the way, the composition models are not hollow most of the time, but the weight is low, because they are made from sawdust mixed with glue, and a metall-frame inside sometimes(not always).

HAUSSER-ELASTOLIN composition figurines.
I'm not sure for the tiger cub.
Great batch !

W:I have the tigercub too from my friend Kiki, but which brand??

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

The small Kangaroo is a HAUSSER ELASTOLIN Lilliput.
The lions pair are REISLER.

W:I only recognise the pine-marder as Lineol, because i made a bid on this model this week on e-bay.
I have the Reisler lioness myself, the male is correct too.

I hope it help you

W:Sorry i couldn't be more helpfull, Kiki did the most already.
Sometimes it is very hard to find out where a model came from, and made by which company.
You have to be lucky to find a collector who owns them too, and knows which brand it is...
By the way, the pink pelican could be an older raw un-painted Bullyland model, but it almost looks like the Schleich pelican, but i am pretty sure, that they never used colours like this for their raw models.

Thanx for the help Willybacoman

I have some more animals that I want to know more about. Will post pics of them tonight.

It´s so fun to be here with all you experts. At home, when I try to talk to friends and family about my animals, they all look at me like I´m crazy

Ha ha, ye your probably right

It´s realy fun to look at their faces when I tell them how much I spend on new animals every month. They look like they think that I should be locked away somewere
(for the record, I spend about 200 or more euros a month on new animals)

Welcome to the madhouse then, haha.
Like Kiki said, this is the place to be for us mad collectors.
I think, you are quit reasonable with your spending, i do spend that amount at least too, and whne possible even much more, depending on what i (want) to find...

Every year i see the news of the famous producer and i think i must buy them. The famous producer are for me: Schleich, Papo, Safari, Collecta, Bullyland. Than i see other makers and i think i must have them, and i buy them devoid before intended them. My last undesigned are Colorata, Kabaya and NewRay. So i think my collection will never end.

Those golden retriever puppys and those dogs under are Keenway's Champion Dog series. Look HERE

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
That little terrier behind is also Keenway's. Sitting boxer could be Lundby's but I'm not sure...

Thanx for the info Deseo

I guessed that the dogs were from the same producer, and now I know Thanx

Last month, I made the biggest, and most expensive order in my life.

This week, christmas came early with a "little" package from Lgf toys in USA

It was a real yoy to open the package and find all those beautiful animals inside!

It was a mix of Schleich, papo, safari, bully, collectA and some other, over 50 animals!

It is not even 9 on a Sunday morning, and I already learned something important

Thank you Willy
