I always remember when I was new here, and "the oldies" talked about E.L.C.
When I asked what ELC is, it seemed nobody understood my question, - it was like nobody in this world could possibly be so ignorant.  But as we only had Schleich here, I had no clue what it was about  

Now, I am not scared of showing how stupid, I am, but others, - younger? - members may be more shy

What brand are the second from the left and the ones to the right on the 2nd photo ?

Beautyful, large collection

Also nice hippos Fernando   

Ohhh, Fernando, you did it again  
Myriads of rare and unusual models in all colours and shapes, one can almost imagine  
Even a green one, a red one, one with red eyes, and one that looks almost like a dachshound  

WONDERFUL collection !

I still need to post my hippos but I appreciate the effort of everyone showing their figures.
Though, contributions like those of Sue and Lesley are not only special because they show very rare and unknown vintage figures, but also because they let us learn more about the figures with their descriptions! The focus of these treads is exactly to show the different brands, variations and all information related with a certain animal or group of them.
How richer it was if all were identified! I confess my ignorance, from these last posts I don't know many of them... anyway, thanks for sharing!

Thanks Andreas,Susanne and Roger.   

For many years I collect sympathetic colorfull animals,
they were the pioneers of this hobby.
Now we have animals very fine, of famous brands.


I hope to continue filling my house with animals of collection

That tree-trunk hippo of the sixth picture is quite darling.

Susanne-the 1st picture are a from a set made by a Danish company-the name escapes me at present-they came with an elephant and a white rhino

The other models going from left to right that you were interested in are a polybag hippo by Wild Republic,an ELC baby hippo and and the last one is by T.M.

Ken-the hippo is by Plaho/Marolin

I agree. These threads could become a wealth of information. I'm hopping over to write the brands shown on all my SUY pictures thus far.

Danish ????   
It surely isn`t Reisler...or Lego...or KREA ...

Tohan is the authority of old, Danish toys, and I can see none that it could be.

It could be immensely great to know more   

As some may have seen, I am now the happy owner of a LINEOL-hippo  
A while ago I also got the beautyful, impressive ( but hollow  ) hippo from Safari`s Wildlife Wonder-series  

Allow me to show some VERY not-realistic ones from Bully and Schleuch, too , - here they are all together

I agree 110 %, - pleeeease,  it would be wonderful if we could see what brands all the wonderful hippoes come from.

Even if the main purpose is to see everybody`s collection, pictures etc. ( It is fine if we see the same model 1000 times here ), it is so much more fun to look through the pictures if they are informative !!!  

Beautiful Hippo collections everyone!    

Here's mine from Bandai 2001:
