O is for Olá

Olá is an Ice Cream brand in Europe, who were (are?) part of or a subsidiary of Walls in the UK. Along with Tito, Kellogg's and others they issued a variety of premiums in the late 60's/early 70's including Rosenheim & Lippmann stuff and other products. Some of their give-aways were however unique to themselves.

Among which are these animals, not quite in scale with each other but all roughly 20mm. This is almost certainly not all the poses and they are all marked 'OLA' somewhere on their body.

These are among the hardest to find of all the small scale premiums (although eBay France and a cheque-book would probably offer up a reasonable sample in a week or two!), they are the small range of Tin-Tin figurines from the early 1970's, these are about as small and realistic as premiums come, being 30mm tall and very naturalistic.
