im so sorry the iphone app does not show me auction comments and I always forget to check. They are made of a solid plastic rubber material, not the cheap ones that break but like the animals you would get from the feed stores or collectibles for the kids, Im pretty sure the dalmation is from the toy animal bin that Target used to have with all of the little animals. Hope that helps, they aren't cheap but good to play or collect. I just have wayyyyy tooo many.
