THE MINS

The Mins were an early creation from Carol Lynn Penny for Genesis Creations, there were about 9 or 10 of them, they consisted of animals in shells and had names like Dormin (Dormouse), Elemin (Elephant), Walmin (Walrus) & Pandmin (Panda), odd little creatures but Carol loved them. They sold slowly and steadily but they never took off in a big way and were short lived so are hard to come by, but they do appear every so often. Seemingly, according to feedback from the reps, people loved the little characters but it was the thought of the snail shell that put them off! The shells were painted so beautifully that people actually thought they were real!

They're not at the top of my list of pieces to get but if I come across them I will buy them and I would like to own a full set eventually but I don't actively look for them because it's the Dragons I have always gone for but I've included them here because they are a little rarity that not many people know about and I occasionally get asked why I've not included them, so here they are (sort of).
