Help identifying my Animals :)

Hi everybody :)
There are a lot of mysterious in our little animal collector community, are there brands that we never heard about it or animals that we never had seen before
I have the problem with some of my figures, that I don't know which species they represent.
Other figures aren't such beautiful or I already have them in my collection...and there is the possibility to repaint them :DAnd I saw here in the forum some good painters with creative ideas, su you might give me suggestions in which species I could paint some of my animals :)

1. White-Noised Coati (Thanks to AlopexLagopus)
2. Marder or Civet, but which species
3. Wolverine --> will transform it into a grison
4. Marder or Civet
5. Red Panda --> will transform it into a ring-tailed cat
6. will transform it into an aguti
7. fox --> will color it

I know your problem. But i think your suggestions are not so bad (most for pic 4). I would often look in my books for this old or chinese models to indentified that, but no time for that.

I know the antelope 1 is made by Manurba and Willybacoman have this in his collection. The Nayab models in pic 4 have Jean-Luc identfied and hier in the forum is a pic of the real turaco- but i cant fin it at the moment.

But what is the bird 1 ??? And the brand will be interesting (is it the same material like bird 4 (i have it too) ?). Can you share closer pics please??? And also from animal number 1 in pic 4- and if you know the brand too.      

It will be fun to see if you can identify them all !

The bird no 3 is a Grey heron from The K & M River-set  

It would be nice with bigger pictures of the birds, as Anderas says

In your last photo I have 4 down as an Otter Civet and 6 as a wombat - they are both from the Nayab small animals series

Thanks for your help and your suggestions :)

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. It's probably a wombat. But I think it looks also like a bear?

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. No Problem.
Here's the Bird:

It's the same material as Number 2 and 4. But I can't find a brand, it's only marked as Made in Hong Kong.

The Mammal Number 1 in Picture 4 is marked as Made in China...no brand. It's hard plastic and can be compared to Nayab-Figures. It is a repaint and I bought it on ebay as a coati. But it looks more like a civet, martens or weasel.

Thank you, is this bird plastic??

yeah all of them are plastic :)

Thank you, if you find a second bird please let know:-)

Number 2 could be a belted kingfisher?
Number 4 could be a crested lark?

1) White-Nosed Coati

2) pine marten

3) Wolverine

Oh Thank you!
I really think Number 2 is a belted kingfisher It also has the same colours :)
And also Number 4 could be possible :)
Thanks

I even didn't know that there are more coati species o.O So I think it's really a coati, but not the common one :) Many thanks :)

Thanks too:D 

Number 6 in picture 2 is a Scissor-tailed flycatcher

Interesting information for me too:)

I wonder if the black-blue bird number 1 mightn't be at least trying to represent the Seychelles paradise flycatcher (Terpsiphone corvina)?

Frankly, I think animal #1 in picture #4 is a triconodon:

Only real difference is the length of the tail which could be explained by whichever company's artist just decided the creature needed a longer tail.

Just my 2 cents worth...

Oh yeah, that could really fit

Hmmm I like the idea that it is another coati species better

I wanted to thank for helping to identifie some of my animals. As you can see in the updated first post, with some reasearch, we already have identified quite a lot.
Here are some more: help is needed, for the unknown in the first post and for those birds. The informations can also be used in TAI :)

The first bird was bought as a "Eremitenvogel"
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Identified as hook-billed hermit (Glaucis dohrnii)


The second bird was bought as a "Weißkopfvogel", a white-headed bird.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Identified as Chestnut-cheeked starling

The last bird was labeled as "Goldfink", an american goldfinch. But the colours don´t fit.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Identified as Yellowhammer

I think with the colours in the past it could be better. But it think your suggestions are not bad. Especially i dont found anything about the Erimitenvogel but i think it could be possible :)

You are surely not the only one who has been wondering about these lovely, little birds from Elastolin.

I have got some of them, and hve been searching the net and  my bird-books to no avail

We see the same with the butterflies ...somebody makes a mould and perhaps some guidelines, - but then the manufacturer wants them to be more colourful or -what-do-I-know

However I got to the conclusion that it is a Yellowhammer, a bird that is often confusingly called "Gulfinke" in Danish, and perhaps also in German.
It has the crest on the head when upset, and the colour on the back was mixed it COULD be like this one

Could "Eremitenvogel" be just a Migratory bird ????

Yeah I know that the colour pattern for older figurines is always very hard, but I think, that the manufacturer must have had an idea what he wanted to present...so I´m sure that there are animals that look nearly as the figurines^^

I used the website [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] which gives a lot of information about birds living in north america. Based on the colors (blue, brown, white), the second bird could be a Chestnut-cheeked Starling.
For the third bird, a yellowhammer already looks more acurate.

I do not think they are North American birds. Elastolin was based in Germant, as far as I know

Thats true but the name of that serie was "birds of the world" :)
