TM question

I don't know if this is the right forum/topic to post it but...
I've heard some of you talk about Tom Major and Toy Major, is there a difference between them?

Oh, and by the way my mother brought me a lovely hyena model from a secondhandshop marked:
©1994
HYENA
made in china T.M.

here is a picture of him:

I like him very much. Thanks mom!

That's the correct topic! The name of the brand that uses TM marking is Toy Major. Tom Major is a traditional mistake, I believe.
The most important is that I find your hyena very interesting! Congratulations and that was very nice from your Mother.
Is there any chance of seeing it with a more known figure to see the size?

A wonderful model, you got there
Your mom has a good taste

I found this site [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] , but it does not work, for me at least.
It seems that it has not been updated since 2001, so I presume T.M. as a compagny does not exist any more

here are some pics to compare the size with the schleich and safari wolf:

Susanne, when you click on the main link for the site, a bunch of animation initially pops up (I'm definitely no expert, but I think it's Flash) and depending on how up-to-date your web browser and other programs on your computer are, that may be the reason you are having difficulties.

It's possible that you can by-pass this problem by going straight to another regular html page inside the company's pages.

Try this link and if it works, then probably the difficulty you were having was indeed the flash animation.

I hope it works!

Thanks a lot for comparison pictures! They are very good and useful!

Hehe ... also my mom gave me the same hyena a few years ago! : DDD

Congrats A-J!

I've always thought its Toy Major. But then I started to doubt it when I saw people talking about tom major...
I have no idea where the Tom Major stuff has come from... Probably from the David Bowie song lol.

The correct name is Tom Major Rogério!
I never heard of Toy Major, but it is obvious when you talk about toy animals, isn't it...

Toy Major still manufactures. I see their varied and new toy animals here in our mall stores. Last year I bought the World Animal Collection Dinosaurs for my daughter.

Recently, I have been seeing their 1990's to early 2000's animals in surplus stores. Their quality differs, but there are some that are really impressive that caught my eye. I bought the baby T. rex.
