<p>[QUOTE="antidiem, post: 9823524, member: 30"]I do not know who made them, but I do not think they were made by Robert Wyland. They may have been made by an associated company. For a while, what I would call a "lesser" company (Dakin) was doing some smaller dolphin works and calling them "Wyland" so I am not sure if that company was affiliated with him or not.

IMO, they were a bit "off" in artistic accuracy of detail. Sort of like a child's version / children's less expensive collectible. I would take a guess that you have a Dakin.
