Make-Believe Animals with Utility

Quite a few people nowadays, take great pride in owning a Zuny figurine. Those who do not have one are constantly on the lookout for one to add to their collections. Clearly, having a Zuny collectible figurine can make your friends look up to you with admiration or envy.

The word ‘zuny’ means ‘a funny zoo’. Appropriately then, all their figurines are of animals. These are usually unique, whimsical and homemade creations, with leather being the main material used. Zuny figurines came into being when a company from Taiwan decided to create lovable models of animals. The Zuny designers constructed these model figurines based on their imagination. The theme behind constructing these figurines was to serve as a stress-buster and to bring a smile to your face. Little could these designers have known or guessed that the toys they created with love, would earn so much love and acclaim. Even lesser would they have guessed that these collectible figurines would not just appeal to kids or teenagers. Today, grown-ups and adults make a beeline for them, pretending to be avid collectors of Zuny’s range of toys.

The Zuny range of collectibles resemble small, stuffed animals. They also come in several different models. Depending on the ones you buy, you could use them as key rings, paper weights, bookends or even as door stops. You can even use some Zuny collectibles as memo-clips or as articles for decorating your room or even your desk at the workplace. Their simple and unique appeal transcends the barriers of age, culture and social awkwardness. This is what makes them so special and appealing.

The Zuny Classic Series and the Zuny Series remain the two most popular series of Zuny collectibles. You can find lions, zebras, sheep and penguins in the Zuny Classic Series. This series highlights these animals in their natural colours of tan, white, black and brown. The Zuny series comprises animals that are bound to make your eyes open wide. The animals are more whimsical and come in all sorts of colours i.e. orange, pink, teal, purple and blue.

Zuny collectibles will always appeal to you – regardless of your age or personal tastes. Even if you feel that you have outgrown toys, you can always utilise them as key rings, paperweights, bookends or even as doorstops. Besides, did we mention that Zuny is an environment-friendly company too? They use animals to remind people of the scarcity of the world’s resources. They were certainly right on target…
