TM animals as promotion for FINA in 1995

This morning I got 10 TM wild animals.
TM may not make the most accurate models, and the painting is sometimes a bit...hmmmm
But I just could not restist these on Ebay.

They came with a booklet and stickers, and a receit from a Fina service station in Nottingham 1995.

Collecting stickers you could chose from a variety of "wildlife-oriented" things like books, videos, T-shirts etc.

For every 15 litres of fuel oil you got one sticker. And for 8 stickers ( tokens) you could choose one of these animal models

So one model per 120 liters of petrol...10 animals .... ...
here are models for 1200 liters of fuel oil
Therefore I see these as a whole and will not take them out of the bags

Zebra, - The little feller is also from TM. He stands on my piano and insisted to be in the picture with his new friend

Isn`t it amazing that somebody has had these lying around for over 17 years, - now they are in Denmak

That's crazy that they were still the bags! Great catch!

Wow, big congratulations Susanne! Great addition to Your collection, it's very very good catch indeed!

Thanks a lot, friends

BTW, what is the word for the kinds of things you get for free when you buy something else...I think the word "promotional" doesn`t cover it
Or does it ???

In Danish we call it medkøb, - "with-buy"

Thankyou Fernando

Thankyou Yvette

Thankyou Andreas

That-s a kind of toy palaenthology. Finding so many years later these figures in bags with all this additional information. Congratulations and thanks for sharing with us!

Great catch, never saw them as an promotional article for a petrolbrand!
