The specific link to Dodo and Albino gorilla were these but I have checked ans they dont work BUT always worth emailing the seller and asking if they have one in their warehouse somewhere, you never know: I have checked my emails and both were bought from: SO back to the Albino Gorilla: I only found out it was made for 1 year in early 2017 and searched and found a German shop selling this and the long retired Papo Dodo so I bought both and had them shipped to my dad in Germany who brought it with him on a visit to the UK.
