Pipe cleaner animals from Hungary

When visiting Hungary in 1991, I stumbled across a little gift shop
in Budapest that specialised in pipe cleaner toy animals. Some of
the unique little handcrafted toys came home with me - a little duck,
hedgehog, tiger and horse.

I would love to find out more about these animals and whether they
are still being made now twenty plus years later

The wording on the old business card seen in the picture is:

SOUVENIR

1073 BUDAPEST VII., LENIN KRT. 4.

Hi, the duck on the left is made by Berg, not sure about the hedgehog, the pony is an ARA made in Austria (Ara Jeretzian was originally from Budapest, but moved to Austria in 1960.
