I had the feeling I hadn't made up that we were discussing the set when it was still available at Japanese auctions. Still a pity that I didin't acquire a set back then.
Those are pretty cool. Although I am judging for the lack of scale bar or other references for size.
...also, changing the name of this thread to Plankton and Protozoa so it covers all range of similar eukaryotes
Giant amoeba (WizKids), height about 2 in. or 5 cm.This is a collectible miniature from a game by WizKids called HorrorClix, available as an individual figure on eBay. The card says that the amoeba represents an alien beast.The rescued victim has been pried loose from the green plastic with a knife.The scarcity of protozoan figures can lead to acts of recklessness. Now the giant amoeba may be identified as Chaos carolinense.Comparison with Amoeba proteus (EISCO) shows that the pseudopods of Chaos carolinense are more pointed than they should be.
Bmathison, glad that you did not say that I'm the one who came unglued.
thanks stemturtle; I never thought about Shapeways for protists!By the way, here is a great reference for protest/eukaryotic classification and is what we are adopting in the clinical realm:http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1550-7408.2012.00644.x/full
