Favorite Co. release a wide variety of animals, both extant and prehistoric, although I am more familiar with their prehistoric lines of figures.
Thie figure is of the Humphead wrasse, or more commonly know as Napoleon Wrasse, one of my favorite fish. It is from the marine life series. Napoleon wrasse is the largest of the wrasse species and is truly one of the most majestic fish in the ocean. Anyone who have seen a live one, both in wild of public aquarium will, without a doubt be struck by it's large size and beauty. Unfortunately, this species is now endangered due to the live fish trade, no this trade is not for aquarium, but for the food, specifically the restaurant industry.Live humphead wrasse are a status symbol in many of these expensive restaurant in Asia. The sad thing is that the only part of this fish that is highly valued is its lips.
Large specimens of this wrasse, once a common sight in tropical oceans, are now rare.
Anyway, back to the figure, this one is a large figure and very nicely detailed. Unlike others in the series, this one does not come with a stand.
