Animal figurines

Animal figurines are figurines that represent animals, either as toys or collectibles. They are often made of plastic.

Historically, animal figurines were made of lead, and were made by several manufacturers, including Britains Limited.[1] Companies that manufacture realistic models include Schleich, Safari Ltd., AAA, Bullyland, Papo, Wild Republic, Science & Nature and Collecta.
