Author Topic: What are the Rarest Animals? (Read 11632 times)

Obviously I have some idea myself but I would like to hear from other people out there in other places what they think is rare.

There are two ways to think about rarity - how many were made, and how hard to get they are.

There are quite a few animal variations that were only in one set. The actual molds have mostly been used in multiple sets, perhaps with color changes. The oldest animals can be the hardest to get, even though many of them were made.

I actually think at this point I would put some of the older 1-2-3 animals towards the top of the rare list. A number have been very hard for me to find.

So what do you all think about this topic? I will post a list of animals that I believe have only been in one set later.

Seems to me the brown eagle is rather rare, though I think it was in more than one set. Also the dark green regular birds. The green caiman has only been in one (rather expensive) set, though it's a still available set. And any of the brightly colored animals from the free game series that are not recent -- kittens, frogs, etc. The recent ones like koalas are not hard to find, but those have definitely only been in one set. And there's certain dogs that are pretty rare.

The mountain goat is my best guess. What do I win?

i think we discussed this some time ago, maybe last year?

I think the mountain goats are pretty rare, as far as I know they were only in the rescue set. Of course I think the mountie horses are, like you said allready, one of the rarest animals. The albino elephant is second, I guess. I don't know anything about 123 playmobil, so I can't tell anything about the rareties...
The new hammerhead shark and okapi are (going to be) on the marked, but it feels to me like they are extreemly rare

Off the top of my head other rare ones -

Red Nessie
White Shark
Black Panther Kitten
Baby Seal in white
Polar bears with painted eyes, dolphin baby with painted eyes
Both Orange Corals
Most of the old style Indian horses
The old style colts in grey and both spotted versions, and some of the painted saddle ones as well
1-2-3 Fish in green
Most of the Color animals, especially the orange color tiger

As Bonnie said, the colored animals from earlier game sets. Also the animals that have only been in release at the Funpark - my favorite being the glow in the dark lobster.

non-standard rarities:
white mouse
Deinonychus with yellow claws
Purple and white cow

Is there a black panter KITTEN

And aww, I saw the white seal baby and the white shark for sale, but I didn't buy them...

I think Antex have always made their polar bears with paited eyes so maybe I can get you some if you want Tim.

To me the white elephant would be the rarest, but I don't know much about the subject.
Also maybe the old type of sheep...

There are colts with painted saddles? There are colts with saddles?

Will have to investigate these:
Black Panther Kitten
Baby Seal in white
dolphin baby with painted eyes

(see what you've done? my wallet is screaming murder already!)

Still looking for the white shark, and some of the color animas and funpark animasl...

need some advise from you all:
7, 80 euro isn't much money for the white shark+white baby seel+ white mouse+glow in the dark lobster, right?
And can I ask this here or is there another sub-PlaymoFriends for these questions? Sorry and tell me if I'm in the wrong place... $:-\$
