Play Visions: listing of sets, animals and scientific names

I'm very proud and glad with the work people is making here.
Maybe here single pictures to each figure is too much, why not something like this?

I'm sorry, I don't know who is the owner of this picture.
But I think it is better first complete the lists, later add a collective picture and when someone has a complete set to show, open a topic about the set with individual pictures. Only an idea.
It takes a long time and effort for sure but I also hope this forum lives for a long time and I'm sure this work will end in a fantastic source for us collectors and to future members of the forum interested in PV figures.

I think the picture is from Veghead

I think Play Vision has done a Caribou, but I'm not sure of the set.

They did with their Arctic set. They also did an Elk with their N.A. set.

Quote :

No colobus in the set but a Grey langur

True, not with the monkey set - but they did do a colobus, with their African set (not the tube)

Quote :

caracara
kestrel
king vulture
andean condor
and also a harp eagle from the amazonas set

Also a secratary bird, a bald eagle, and an osprey - I believe the osprey was the same as the one in their NA tube/set.

By the way (just because you all know I like to frustrate everyone!) I had a playvision catalogue in the '90s - though it's long gone. One thing I remeber is they had a set of duck 'pencil toppers' - a full set of duck species miniatures that would fit on the end of pencils. I have looked for them over the years, but I have never seen them for sale.

Which other animals appeared in the catalog? Tell us more! Tell us more!
Seriously, you are the greatest source of information on this company for all of us (o)):

YOU HAD A CATALOGUE? And don't have it anymore?? to think about this makes me hysteric.

I wonder if it is possible to get hands on such a catalogue again. (I even wrote Play Visions two days ago for more information, but I guess they won't even answer or just tell me, they're sorry etc.)

I actually had two catalogues from two different years.

I moved a few times since then. Of course, at the time I thought these sets would be around for much longer!

It would be great to have the catalogue

By the way, the Prehistoric marine reptile set is from 1998.

Viverrids 1998
- African civet - Viverra civetta
- Abyssinian Genet - Genetta abyssinica
- Banded Palm Civet - Hemigalus derbyanus
- Binturong - Arctictis binturong
- Grey Meerkat - Suricata suricatta
- Spotted Linsang - Prionodon pardicolor
- Ring-tailed Mongoose - Galidia elegans
- Aquatic civet (correct: Aquatic genet) - Genetta piscivora

The figurine marked as a binturong is not a binturong. I have it just now in my hands and I think it's an Asian palm civet, but it's not sure. Christophe also have it but with another name.

Maybe we can adding a photo for each model, it would be perfect! If you agree, I can help you get photos of various figures.
The large figures are usually part of the sets. Were sold set with one big figure and four small, others with eight small and two large, or sixteen small and four large, so I think there are two great figures for each set.
Big Jaguar and Amazon River Dolphin for the Amazonic set, for example.

Yes I have caribou playvision of 1998 and I not know what set.

Other:

Moose.........1998

tapir...........1998

Badger.......1998

Beaver.......1998

orangutan---1998

Too there are two model of red fox.

And maybe you are right One thing is sure... The PV binturong can't be a binturong

I would be curious what the other one looks like.

Prehistoric Mammals

Cave Bear
Eobasileus
Mammoth
Megatherium

great, thanks - still sorting out the informations!

Somewhere I saw pics from PV moray eels and water snakes. Are there sets too (or are they one set)?

I'm confused with the cats... in addition to those listed by jhudstone I also know a Bobcat, Puma, Couded Leopard and others...
And this Anaconda? Ins't it part of the South American set?
