I have not done any walk-arounds for Odonata yet, so here is one for the Japanese biddie,
Anotogaster sieboldii Selys, 1854 by Furuta,
Insect Science, Figures
03 (adult) and
03b (nymph).
This is the largest species of dragonfly native to Japan. It is non uncommonly made as figures. In addition to the nymph and adult here, Yujin (Insects of Japan) also did a nymph and adult. Kaiyodo (Choco Q Animatales) and Rement also did adults. In addition, several bin-style figures are clearly modeled after this, or related, cordulegastrids. The dragonflies by CollectA and Bullyland (re-release, for the latter) also appear to be based on cordulegastrids.
The adult is 70 mm long with a 105 mm wingspan, making it just under 1:1. The nymph is 30 mm which could represent 1:1 for a younger instar. The wings are soft and the venation was clearly printed, which is fine as it means accuracy
. The Yujin figures are probably more realistic, but these are nice nontheless (plus I wanted to review something from this series). The entire Insect Science series can be seen here:
