Marlow Int company: African fauna figures

Just obtained some interesting figures, set of African animals - these figures are made by Marlow Int company in South Africa and were acquired in Zimbabwe. I don´t like much the figures with base but I could not resist to get these. So, there are some African animals with real African origin in my collection now

As visible, these figures are photographed just after arrival before the cleaning procedure.

Wuhuuuu!!! Very very interesting!!! Big Big Congratulations!!!

Where you found this and you know more about the other animals?

I find nothing about marlow int

Thanks for congrats first... :)

These figures are made by Marlow International for Steers, Steers is a steak and grill chain based in South Africa. I heard about that company never before so I have no clue if my set is complete. The figures are relatively good shaped, I like especially the birds.

Until now I don´t have some species in my collection, so I am happy with the crowned crane (AFAIK there is only one competitor - the outdated Starlux one), cape vulture (the first model of this specie I ever saw) or bateleur (AFAIK there is only one rival from KM).

Oh, I love them! Interesting species!
It was better without base but they are very nice indeed. :)
Now I understand why they are African from Africa!
Looking forward to see more!

:) :)

Wow...THanks....THanks,

Is important to trace of these animals and its brand .

Other possibilities to our collections..

This is SO fantastic

I wonder if anybody in the forum ever heard about them before
I can`t stop looking, REAL African animals from Africa

Do you have more of them ? You write about a bateleur and a Cape vulture ?

Thankyou VERY much for sharing these great finds with us

It's always great to discover a new brand I can't wait to see the birds

any more info on this brand?

Nice figures Jarda.

I love the crane too!

Yesssss, a baboon, and good pose too

Very good, but at the moment not really new species for me.

But i think the baboon is Yowie UK, he looks like mine:

...Thank for the new brand Jarda!

*squee* A bateleur!
What a great set of models! I like models with bases - it does decrease playability, but I don't mind that. They look more "ornamental" somehow, at least when the base is well made.

The more I look at them, the more I love the cheetah and crane

No doubt You are right, Andreas. Each figure has on the base info about Marlow Int company except the baboon - no base - no such info. Thank You for the alien disclosure :)

love the crane and great vulture!!

This vulture is cape vulture (Gyps coprotheres). This one has dark gray head unlike the great vulture (Gyps fulvus) and the base info says:

A new bateleur is a really good news I like to see rarely seen species in more than one brand...

I saw now a cheetah and a lion for sale as

Andreas, You are really great hunter! It seems that both figures are in excellent condition for good price (not sure about the shipping fee). Do You know if another species from this set (not mentioned in this thread) were made?

Thank you,. I found this by my hunt for the hamerkop. But i dont buy it because a lion and a cheetah are not so interesting for me. But i hope to find there more in the future, especially your gray crowned crane   
But i dont know more   

One another rare Marlow African animal - WILD DOG (Lycaon pictus) - just arrived from SA (not my photo but image from the seller):
