Some are FAKE or REPRO. I have tried to idenify which are fakes or repros.
The list is updated as I acquire some of these figurals.
I have ordered them in alphabetical order according to maker and number.
Where the ring is "unmarked" or "unknown" (which could be unrecorded by me) that is the alphabetical tag.

They may have also been made by someone back in the day even.
What goes against that theory is that teh rings are all different and in some cases poor quality, but where did all the cat and cart bits come from?
Did someone mass produce them in the 1980s? Where did the cat come from?
