I am a collector from Republic of Korea. I'm happy to find such a wonderful and global animal toy forum. From now on, I would like to talk about figures with many other collectors. Nice to meet you all!

Welcome to the family! :) Will be interesting to see which brands are more easily available in Korea. I suppose a mix of CollectA and Japanese brands :D

Thank you!! That's right. Just like you expected. In Korea, toys such as collectA, PAPO, SAFARI LTP, and Schleich have a well-established sales network, so I can easily get them at Internet shopping malls and large marts. Also, there are many stores that sell company brands like KAIYODO, BANDAI because korea is close to Japan.

So distance doesn't matter :) I supposed that Papo (France), Safari LTD (USA) and Schleich (Germany) would be rarer in average Korean toy shops/stationeries than CollectA (Hong Kong) and Kaiyodo, Bandai, Colorata, Ikimon, etc :)

That's right. It doesn't matter. In Korea, animal figures are popular for children's play and education, so many brands are imported. Unfortunately, there is no Korean company. :'(
