Racoon dog figures

If you have any, please show me! :) They are one of my favorite animals. So cute! I haven't seen any figures of them though.

Didn't know were to put this thread. If it's not right, please move it.

Wow! I dindn't know this excisted! How awesome! They are so cute!

Are they wild animals?

Sandra, there are some raccoon dogs, again I'll use Christophe's website. I must pay a comission to Christophe for using so often his website and I also need to receive a comission for divulging it so much! Clicking below you will see Playvisions and Caiyodo figures from his collection.

I also need it!

They are also one of my favourite animals!

I'd love to see more!

We are so lucky to have Christophes enormous and beautyful collection, and his unique site to drool over, and to show us a lot of models that we never even dreamt about
Thankyou Christophe, and thankyou Roger for pointing them out


The racoon dogs, - we cal them Marden-dogs in Denmark.
They look SO cute

But here they are considered an invasive and very unwanted species.
They are enormously talented hunters, killing off all the small game, causing the native species to starve and bringing the eco-system out of ballance.
Also they may carry rabies and infectous parasitic worms like flat worms

Most of the ones in Denmark are pets that escaped. They look so cute, but they ARE wild animals, so people who get one smuggeled into Denmark can be very unpleasantly surprised...and if that person is suficciently ignorant, he or she may just drive out and let the critter loose in a forest.

But they DO look very, very cute

Aaaah, Noora ! You have these lovely models

Great pictures and wonderful repaints

We have a lot of them in Finland, and like Susanne said, some people see them as unwanted and harmful to the nature. But actually they are really clumsy and not very good hunters. Bigger reason for hunting them is that they eat bird eggs from nests in the ground, and these are the same birds that the hunters would like to hunt themselves. Not very fair for the raccoon dogs, I think.

In some countries (like in Finland ) raccoon dogs are raised at fur farms. What makes this even more sad is that in the nature they hibernate in the winter (at least here up north), but at fur farms they aren't given the opportunity. One of my repainted puppies is white, I think that variation exists only at fur farms - mine is a free one though :)

Also one from the Kaiyodo Natural Monuments serie. If i get my exemplar next time, i will post a pic.

That is very interesting, Noora

Yough! I HATE fur farms

Roger and Susanne: Christophe's site is awesome. I would visit it more often, but then I'd ruin my computer with all the drool spilling out of my mouth. (gross, I know.)

Andreas: I'd love to see the one from the Natural Monument series!

Sandra: As you can see from Christophe's site, Kaiyodo makes two "ChocoQ" (chocolate egg) versions of the Raccoon Dog. Noora posted an additional picture of one of them. Here is another picture of the other. I see them both available on eBay pretty regularly.

What to say more ?


As Andreas said, there is another one from KAIYODO which I don't have.

About my website, I made it to be beautiful and useful, I hope it is at least useful

Guess who is going to get the Kaiyodo Natural Monuments raccoon dog too..
So if no-one else posts pictures of that, I will at some point.


The other ChocoQ raccoon dog looks (at least to me) more like the Japanese subspecies, tanuki. I got no scientific proof for this, just my own experience that the ones in Finland have longer fur and shorter snout and the colour is also a bit different. I could be wrong though, I'm sure they look very different at different times of the year. And I suppose Kaiyodo has tried to make both (or maybe all) of them look Japanese and also calls them both tanuki . Anyway, I hope I get that one too at some point, regardless of the subspecies.

See, this is what I mean:

And oh, I forgot I had one more, but it's not a very good one The original (TOPPS raccoon) on the left.

Thanks for showing me these! :) Hope I'll find and buy some of them. Are they rare?

xfoxx: They definetly look like different sub species.

Very nice Andreas! I really like that Natural Monument series. (I don't have any. But they look great. I'd especially like the Skink and maybe the Iriodote.)
