A Mixed Lot came in for March 2013...

I bought a group of very different animals from Thomas here on the forum over e-bay.
First a chimp which was marked as Manurba, Domplast or so, but i doubt that, as the material of the plastic is much harder then the older Manurba's and Domplast, but here it is.

Chimp, anybody knows from which brand this really is?

Domplast Hippo calf 1, i had this one already, although slightly different in colour, which is normal in this type of plastics in the 1950's and 1960's, so one is available for the trade.

Domplast Hippo calf 2, a new position and model for me.

VEB Plaho DDR produced this model under numer 01753 as an American bison after the old Lineol mould, and they were re-produced as white bisons again, but by who, maybe Thomas can tell.

This big model of a giant tortoise was made by Marolin after 1990, so not in the DDR times anymore, but the mould was from before, but never produced in that time.

This is a Marolin model to from the later years, i think moulded after an old Lineol model or so, never for VEB Plaho as far as i know.

Wonderful newcomers, especially congrats for the Marolin models Willy

I bought also the tortoise in the 90s and was then wondered why i never heard of this before. Later i found out why

Very nice animals, congrats!!!

They are GREAT !!! Congratulations

I know you was looking for that turtle, there is nothing ( almost ) like finding a long-wished-for gem

Thank you susanne, Ana and Andreas!
Yes, i actually ordered them from Thomas already a long time ago, but got in a financial flow, so i couldn't make the deal then.
After buying some models from him on ebay, he offered me these models again thankfully!
