something I noticed, my lioness has an "A" after Jeol, does anyone know what this means? I guess mine is a newer version as the material is different as well as the colour

Congratulation, Harriet! :)

BTW: My lioness is marked "Jeol "A" Hong Kong" as well.

Congrats Harriet! One more lucky victim of Sue and Lesley generousity!
I also love them. Do you have a Britains lion or lioness to take a comparison picture for me?
I know I'm always talking about Britains... sorry!

Nice lions! I sure wish Papo would make their lioness in that lying/resting position!

Thank you everyone!!

Excelent pictures, Harriet! Jeol figures have a special artistic touch, I guess! And the difference in size donnot really hurt! It is a shame that some brands are really hard to find! Thanks a lot for having all this work to show them in comparison !

Wow Harriett, The Joel lions look so much more realistic than the Britains. I love them

Did I miss the thread where they talk about the history of this company?

I would love to know more about Joel.

Thanks from me too for the comparison photos with the Britains!

A lovely gift from two lovely ladies to a lovely girl.

No trouble at all
The size difference isn't too bad, I'll keep an eye out for the Lions for you.

Thank you Sue The Lioness used to be at my grandparents house, in a box of plastic animals, when I was about three years old and when I visited I used to play with them. I liked the lioness so much that I was allowed to keep it and took it with me when we moved to Canada.

No doubt the Jeol lioness is very nice and rare figure but -moreover- Harriet´s lioness is figure with the long history! And very experienced traveler...

What a great gift again!
I really really love the Jeol models!
I am open for any suggestion to get any of these models, the moulds are really realistic, the models look great!

I am in agreement with you Willy. They are very realistic and I also would love to own some. I searched Ebay for Jeol and came up with "Jello" HA! That is not helpful at all.
If I find doublets Willy I'll share with you

Oh yeah, please let me know then!
On the double, haha...

That's very kind from you, let me know also if you find the warthog and the other wild pig!

Or any other Jeol figurine!

Yes ANY Jeol figures would be great!

Did they only make the few that Sue and Lesley shared photos of?
Was there a catalogue? I guess not if there weren't very many made...

I sure appreciate it when members share photos. Thanks!

Pics of these are rare as models i am afraid, alone those who own them have pics...
