I'll start I suppose, with a question that's a little more specific: Did Safari ever make a Parson's Chameleon?
has any modern company (non-japanese) made gibbons (esp. siamang), aardvark, babirusa, anaconda, dingo, wallaby, cassowary, reticulated python, pygmy hippo, bonobo ape, philippine eagle and binturong?
Has anyone ever made a hagfish?
Aaaah! I never thought I could be tempted hunting for a jar of slime but it seems I have to, now!
Yes, apparently. I've seen one recently but shipping to Germany was too expensive. About as large as the AAA Parson's Chameleon but with a very gaudy paintjob reminiscent of Trioceros melleri and I believe with rotating eyes, too.
ah yes stemturtle. i think we discussed this chimp over at the old DTF (v.1). but it usually is marketed as the regular chimpanzee by the mother company (Nayab) and all the repackers. i have this figure too btw.

Probaby just as hard to find as the Colorata figure.Quote from: tyrantqueen on February 06, 2013, 12:55:30 PMHas anyone ever made a hagfish?Only this And no, I don't have one, although I wish I did.

That's exactly why I was asking, I wasn't sure if it was just a repainted AAA figure. Okay new question, has anyone ever made my favorite reptile, a Perentie? Or how about a Chinese Crocodile Lizard, a South American Caiman Lizard, or a Crocodile Tegu?
Aardvarks (two of them) were made also by Noah's Pals. Company doesn't exist anymore but figures are yet possible to find here and there.
How about a thylacine? It's crazy that I can't seem to find one.

Available on Amazon.It is the yellow figure in the third picture, near the center of the board, about 2.25 inches (6 cm). The belly is marked Tasmanian Tiger.Credit to sbell for telling us about this set.
