Recent acquisitions

[Arctinus]

Oh, I thought the second sentence referred to the first one.

I just watched a YouTube video on Schleich badger and it also seems to have a glossy black fur, so I don't know if it's just a glossy paint they use for black colour or something. I don't have my figures with me to check whether other black animals have the same glossy appearance. I don't remember their chimpanzee having a glossy coat, but then again my memory isn't really great.

I've recently acquired:

1. Science & Nature yellow-crowned parakeet.  I like it!

2. Science & Nature brown snake.  It's amazing!  Jason Smit is a great sculptor!  I know he sculpted the Southlands Replicas figures, but I'd like to know if he sculpted any other Science & Nature figure besides the brown snake?

3. Schleich mini chameleon.  I like it too, it replaces my Mojo chameleon.

I've acquired a better-painted Safari great grey owl.  I've also acquired the Safari Galapagos toob!  I bought it for the two boobies and I'm happy with them!  I noticed that they both say "red footed booby" underneath!  Not a problem for me though, I know what the blue-footed one is!

Haul time


A bunch of safari ltd sea animals. Am shifting my collection I to a smaller scale. The lineup I have gotten is the Safari ltd Manta, Toob sawfish which I'm using as Pristis clavata and a K/O of the toon Bottlenose dolphin which I may eventually get the toob



For this and my next haul, it would be my last prehistorics for a long time as I have grown tired of having to constantly replace figures. Here I have gotten the Safari ltd liopleurodon, which is a childhood favourite, the Kaiyodo Icthyosaurus, which I'm using as a smaller species in the genus and the Favorite Ankylosaurus which is q crudely painted on my copy and I noticed the feet looks quite odd (see next picture)



Lastly, some SpongeBob merch. The Super7 ultimates wave 2 finally shipped after waiting since September 2022 and they're basically 1:1 copies of the characters from the show. Some other items I've obtain includes a Youtooz Sandy, Miku Squidward, hopes and dreams grave and the tiki house.

I've acquired the Archie McPhee garden birds set, thanks to @brettnj who very kindly got it and sent it to me!  I'm very happy with it!

[EpicRaptorMan]

Obtained the Schleich Scarlet Macaw. Looks pretty good. The posture is a bit weird when standing on its own. But I'm satisfied.

Latest haul time:

Eikoh Baby seal

Kaiyodo dimetrodon

Kaiyodo Eryops

Colorata male green turtle

collectA Mosasaurus (prolly mosasaurus lemonnieri)

Eofauna Tyrannosaurus

Hi all! I just swung by Japan for a few days on my return from a few years in SE Asia, and here's my newest haul:



Some of these are from the secondhand figure stores in Akihabara but most of them are from the gachapon machines at the mall near my friend's house, and a few from the gacha centers in Shibuya.

The yen is super weak to the dollar right now, so I may have gone a bit overboard...but I haven't really been collecting for the past two years either so it was nice to finally grab some figures that I really wanted (I clearly like freshwater stingrays) and get back in the game.

[EpicRaptorMan]

Not sure what I have shared here yet or not but things are my two recent batches over the past couple months. Some of them I've had for a while but I haven't had the chance to add them to my album until now and are thus here now.

I also have that macaw and I like it. 

Also, just saw your newer post and I like your recent-additions layout! Some I already have and some I'm yet to get.

Where did you get the Eofauna T-Rex? What do you think of it?  I like that it comes with a base, since I seem to have bad luck with their Giga and now even Papo's T-Rex.

Wow, nice additions!

I got it off a Chinese site but AliExpress has it. It's the best theropod figure imo and the ppl whining about it's minor flaws can shut up cuz it's beautiful

Thanks! I think I'll wait for Modelpferdeversand (where I usually order, since I'm from Europe) because I'm not in a hurry yet.  I guess some people get more demanding, the better the figures? I guess we all want the most perfect models, but that's kind of impossible with animals that have been extinct for millions of years.

[EpicRaptorMan]

Some beetles I got.

A five-horned Rhinoceros beetle and a golden stag.
I'm a little disappointed in the size of the Hercules beetle...REALLY wanted it to get bigger. I got other insects that I may post for sale if anyone's interested

Does anyone know of a good sized Hercules beetle? I checked the ToyAnimalWiki and only a couple popped up

[bmathison1972]

If you want a life-sized Dynastes hercules there are A LOT of options from Takara, Sabuardo, and Bandai.

I just did an ebay search for 'hercules beetle figure' and on just the first page, these all popped up in 1:1 scale:

@bmathison1972 maybe not life size but something more substantial than this one which measures only 3 in from horn tip to abdomen.
Something that will go well with the my CollectA Stag and Rhinoceros Beetle

My New Whale Finally Arrived...

The 2014 Safari Ltd Bowhead Whale!

Fun fact I actually had this guy when I was younger but unfortunately unlike my schleich 2016 Sperm Whale The old one has not stood the test of time.

[EpicRaptorMan]

@Ultrazilla2054 how did it not stand the test of time?

I have this whale too. But I painted the white ring around it's eye to match the rest of the body.

1. The family dog got to it a long time ago
2. I've thought about painting the rings as well, they kinda just look like humongous eyes lmao
