Going Batty!!!

[Varanus]

This thread is dedicated to those remarkable flying mammals, the bats!
So whether it's a Little Brown Bat or a giant Flying Fox, post 'em here!

Here's my pitiful bat collection:



These six bats look like they could have been made by PV, but they're not.  I'd love some help IDing the species!


I bought a whole bunch of these bats at a Halloween store because they looked surprisingly good.  They look a bit like a flying fox and a vampire bat.  I also saw at that store a bat that looked like it was cast from a real specimen (looked like a "brown bat" sp); it was attached to a necklace.  I regret not purchasing it.

Cool bats friend  .

Oh, I'd overlooked this thread. Good choice of animals!

I must confess, I've somewhat overlooked it, too.
Identifying bats is really hard, though (at least to species level). The brown one on the left in the first photo is apparently a rhinolophid. Some of the others may be identifiable further, too. And they really look like PV. Wasn't there a PV bat set, too?

I have two flying foxes:

Pteropus dasymallus Temminck, 1825; Ryukyu Flying Fox. Furuta Choco Egg Animals of Japan Series 5. Not sure about the scale since I forgot to measure the figure but I believe it should be something between 1:10 - 1:15.


Pteropus giganteus (Brünnich, 1782); Indian Flying Fox. Colorata Endangered Animals - Wild Animals Vol. 1. Length 22 mm, wing span 84 mm, scale approx. 1:14 - 1:18. This figure can be attached to the tree of the Orangutan figure from the same set. Together with the Flying Lemur it makes a nice "mini diorama". well, sort of...

Lovely bats! Congratulations!

I have these two:



Both figures represent the same specie: Pteropus dasymallus - Ryukyu flying fox and both are Kaiyodo My fav is the one with tree Hope to find more bats to my collection soon

Sooo jealous of that Kaiyodo National Monuments Flying Fox (the one in the tree--I think thats from the "monuments" series, but maybe I'm wrong).  Wonderful picture!

It is indeed! But the series' correct title is 'Natural Monuments of Japan'. Here is my complete set .



No.19  Pteropus dasymallus - Ryukyu Flying Fox

Hmmm, not very many bats in my collection. I know I have a couple from Yowie, need to find those

There aren't a lot of bats out there that I'm aware of (figure-wise, I mean).  I'm new to the hobby so I'm not as aware of a lot of the Japanese brands and such, but I do really wish the Big Companies paid more attention to bat releases.  As it is, I'm only aware of the Incredible Creatures brown bat from Safari (they have a new release for 2013, can't remember which right now), but I'm not over-fond of the way they look.

I would like that other brands as Schleich will do species of bats  .
