Milkylandia series
The Milkylandia series consists of different (two?) waves of hard plastic cartoonish figurines, achievable as gadgets to Milky cheese portions. The first wave is illustrated in a leaflet (10 items), and we have a second wave ad with further 10, with a posterior add indicating a total of 20. Furthermore, we have an add indicating 11 items (showing items of the first wave), probaby including the guardian. The first items were also given a first name.
First wave (Gabbia di Matti): Lion (Sganga); Tiger (Begun); Hippo (Lorelei); elephant, camel, orangutan, kangaroo, chimpanzee, raccoon, guardian (the list includes 10)
Secon wave (Gabbi di Matti): drake, Lochness monster, seal, bear, rabbit (the one illustrated is a pink one, the actual item is a lightblue one holding a carrot), horse, giraffe, snail, porcupine*, teddy bear* (the list includes ten)
It is not know which was the eleventh item added to the first wave, but does not seem to be included in the eventual total number of 20.
A couple of illustrations* of the first wave ad, do not correspond to identified items (a teddy bear and and a porcupine), and may have never been manufactured, or discrepancy may have originally been there between programmed items and actually manufactured ones. On the other hand, a number of items which were manufactured in the same period and share similar craft and art features (whimsical animals) are attributed to the same series. These items are made in hong kong but do not report any additional alphanumeric code as others. We find putative items included in a series named Zoo, within a blister also containing items of both waves: tortoise playing the guitar, donkey, panda, poodle dog.SA sacket with items of the first wave was also commercialized otherwise under the same Zoo banner . A couple of items looking older, a deer and a horse in a rigid toy-like position, may also belong to the serie (some collector show a photo of a bunch including them). A seal plyaing with a ball is sold in alot with other Milylandia items (being possibly the only exception).
