Vintage or repro?

I saw this little phone on Marktplaats, and I was wondering if it's actually vintage or not. I can't find anything on it due to lack of information, and Google wouldn't find anything based on keywords either. Anyone got any info on the age and brand of this phone?

Those are a novelty phone. There were several different styles. They came in different colors and graphics and they had several tail fin configurations.

Here is a link for another model  w/box.

It could be that some company has taken the chassis of a popular phone and put a different shell on it to make it into a novelty phone.

I have one like the link I posted. They are a new phone. I have never tried it out for quality.
