Z is for Zoo Animals

Continuing to look at Pikit Toys carded sets here;

Another Pikit Toys import, probably shared with Gordy International, and - from the unpainted nature of the contents - possibly from Rado / Ri-Toys, I've added close-ups of the bright-pink Airfix clones to their posts;

Airfix Zoo Animals Set 2






These are the unused shots from that compartment.

A Rado Industrial Co. / Ri-Toys zoo set (isolated from a larger image in Bill B's catalogue), the similarities lead to the above comment, but, while it's not clear, the elephant is a different sculpt to the one in the Pikit import, so the Pikit set may have product of more than one maker and Rado can't be 'called', definitively, even though they may well have had more than one elephant in their inventory?
