My first thought is the Groovy Toob Gone Extinct dodo, mammoth, thylacine, Steller's sea cow and quagga, but it is really hard to tell because of the blurriness. A clearer photo would help (why wouldn't you just take another picture?).
Without the mammoth, I might have guessed the Club Earth set, but they didn't make a mammoth.

I can't take a better picture, the battery of my camera is dead. I had a friend take this one, but he's obviously not a talented photographer...
I googled that toob, it has different figures..

Ik zal in twee weken op Tessel zijn (I'll visit Texel in two weeks)! Are they still available? Is WNF/WWF the brand name of the ice cream (or is it distributed by Albert Heijn since they carry a lot of own products)? And one more thing: How much ice cream do I have to consume per figure? ;D I'll be with my kids anyways, so no problem to get rid of all the ice cream within minutes... |

None at all! All they have to do is cheer "Eat faster! Eat faster!" ;D Well, we'll see how big these boxes are - if they're still available of course.
Of course I hope I won't have to buy a 2.5 Kg box of ice cream for a single figure. Especially when I don't know which one I get until I open the box. And especially when they don't have woodruff ice cream. ;D

Very interesting set you got there. I assume they are small figures?

Haha ;D No, you can't buy them anymore  ..... but inside the ice creams was a small animal, like a tiger, crocodile, elephant or.... a dinosaur! There was also a small T-rex and a Brachiosaurus. The mammoth is quite nice! I have a spare of it, and from the dodo, would you like to have them? I will PM you  . They are prettty small, I believe 3 centimetres long or so. The ice creams are done by Albert Heijn, but the figures are from WNF/WWF. ;D |

Thanks for telling me about this, Ichthyostega! I never knew you could find stuff this interesting at Albert Heijn. I also got three of the dinosaurs (Brachiosaurus, T-Rex and Stegosaurus) but those are ugly as hell. Any idea whether I've got all figures of this line then? Or are there more I missed? And yes, they are small. Tiny, really. I've got doubles of the five figures seen in the pic above too, if anyone's interested. And Brontodocus, don't smoke in the Texel dunes. Very bad idea this time of year... they do have an Albert Heijn there though. |

And Brontodocus, don't smoke in the Texel dunes. Very bad idea this time of year... they do have an Albert Heijn there though. How could I do that! I never even allow my biology students to smoke in the field on our excursions, let alone in a protected area. Grey dunes are something you are not even supposed to step on. But good to know that the weather is apparently dry and warm! Yes, I was thinking of the Albert Heijn in Den Burg (I visit Texel almost every year). |

Hey.. what's actually that blue beast between the prehistoric horse and the Dodo? Steller's Sea Cow. Or at least, a small plastic representation of a Steller's Sea Cow. |

Seijun, I´ve got that Apatosaurus and erect Scelidosaurus (?), too and asked myself the same. I guess, however, they´re Chinasaurs - with a very special style.

Hasn't the weird humanoid pterosaur thing featured on Plasticosauria before? EDIT: Apparently not. But it would be a worthy entrant. Also, the sauropod looks to be modelled on the Inpro "Brontosaurus". |
