I never saw those koalas before, - are the extremely rare ?

I don't think so

These are great!

Can anyone tell me -- Christophe perhaps? -- what the name (in French and English) of the Starlux man standing next to the figures pictures above is? The little guy wearing the gold suit -- it looks like an old fashioned swimsuit, or exercise suit? I'm really curious. (And I'd like to search eBay for one of these human figures, which is a wonderful "reference" figure for scale.)

The Starlux man is a Clairet tamer (dompteur in French).

Nevertheless, it is sometimes called Tarzan or Akim on eBay.fr

My love for the French brands grew when i saw the first pictures of collections, and the wide range in species they had in their range, which was awesome for the time they were made.
Christophe made this love only bigger, and the modelling of Clairet is awesome in art-deco style, which came from France of course, although they were made in later area's...
I do have a big Acedo Flamigo, boxed as well, i don't think to many people can say this...


This is my Acedo Asian elephant


This is the big flamingo

The monkey Acédo is like the hollow cast DC,
