Do they really just list it as an 'eel' in the set? From what I had been told, it's supposed to be a synbranchid, which is a far more unusual (probably a first time) figure. Doesn't look like any anguilliforme I know of.
Blaine, another great set review. I didn't know even about these but only about the butterflies from Nature tube. Some of them look wonderful and I'll use this topic as reference for Toy ANimal Wiki. I am just like you, I like to keep figures as they are originally once these mistakes turn them peculiar and turn it more interesting to compare between several brand releases.

I plan on doing reviews for the TOOB and Authentics sets too (but still tracking down all the species in the Authentics set).Feel free to use this text and images on your Wiki for educational purposes!

I'll surely use your pictures and list of species. . Your interesting reviews and comments are more adjusted to the forum and the Wiki doesn't intend to remove the interest in foruns. It is just a tool to collectors identify their figures and also to know what exists. Simple species pages of these butterflies will be created with galleries of all representatives we can find from each species. Another contributor listed these species from Authentics though we have no pictures yet.

I know I have the morpho, tree nymph, orange-barred sulfur, Siderone, and swallowtail. I do not remember a second sulfur but I will check. I was hoping to get a name on the 'swallowtail' but maybe Safari never supplied one?!?
Wow, what a great review, Blaine! I didn't even know about the existence of this set, let alone that they are identical to the mentioned K&M Butterflies Tube figures.
Quote from: brontodocus on July 06, 2015, 10:12:00 PMWow, what a great review, Blaine! I didn't even know about the existence of this set, let alone that they are identical to the mentioned K&M Butterflies Tube figures. they are not identical to K&M, but use a few of the same sculpts and share a couple species. K&M actually has some more interesting species. Now, the Safari and K&M Insect tubes are nearly identical sculpts all the way, just painted differently.
