The mahi-mahi (Coryphaena hippurus) is a highly sought after species of sportfish belonging to the Coryphaenidae family along with one other species. They’re prized recreationally and commercially for their size, beauty, and mild sweet flavor. They’re also abundant within their range and listed as least concern by the IUCN.

Rainbow Trout (3″ figure by Replica Toy Fish)
4.8 (8 votes)
Back with another figure in the Replica Toy Fish Salmon and Trout releases, this time a very familiar species, the rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. More properly, based on the colouration and the North American focus of the company, this is likely meant to be one of the many subspecies of rainbow trout.

Back with another run of Replica Toy Fish figures, this time the last series that was released as retail models. Based on my records, these were out in roughly October of 2015. The entire lot of them are all from one family, and overall were super popular with customers for their brief run.
Alligator Gar, juvenile (3″ figure by Replica Toy Fish)

Back with the very last August 2015 releases from Replica Toy Fish, the second of two figures that use the same model, this time the juvenile alligator gar, Atractosteus spathula, seen originally as a six inch figure. Last time I focused on the adult figure, now we can take a more pictorial look at the juvenile version.
Alligator Gar, adult (3″ figure by Replica Toy Fish)

Here we are, working toward the last August 2015 releases from Replica Toy Fish, which is technically a pair of figures that use the same model but different colours. And more specifically, three inch figures that represent a species already seen as a six inch figure. That’s right, more figures of the the alligator gar, Atractosteus spathula.
Shovelnose Sturgeon (6 Inch Series by Replica Toy Fish)
4.6 (7 votes)
This figure is the sixth and final figure from the Replica Toy Fish 6 inch series, and possibly the most unique model of the whole company’s run. The figure is the shovelnose sturgeon Scaphirhynchus platorhynchus, by no means the first sturgeon on the blog, but the first not from the genus Acipenser (previously including lake sturgeon and Chinese sturgeon) and…probably the only figure from the genus so far (there are other Acipenser figures…and someday we might get to Huso, but I digress).

Back with another Replica Toy Fish figure, another from the original (and only) six-inch figure collection. I won’t lie, of the 6 this was one of the two I was most excited for. At the time I think it was the only model of the species…or maybe even the whole family (the collection is a bit of a blur sometimes).
Guadalupe Bass (3″ Figure by Replica Toy Fish)
4.9 (19 votes)
In August 2015 another wave of figures was released by Replica Toy Fish. Once again, no real announcement or launch, I think I found out because of a photo on the STS collector site or something. Maybe I found out about a different figure, and this one was there too. Seems like something that would be important for a company to make sales…anyway, it was just a few more species, but again, pretty popular models.
Longnose Gar (3″ figure by Replica Toy Fish)
4.5 (4 votes)
Back with the next 3″ fish from Replica Toy Fish, and based on my purchase records, this is the last one in the April 2015 releases. This is also one of the few models that got a 6″ and 3″ versions later in the series, this is the small version of the longnose gar Lepisosteus osseus.
Sailfish (Marine Life by Papo)
4.6 (10 votes)
With alleged speeds of up to 68 mph the sailfish is said to be the fastest animal in the sea. However, recent studies suggest a maximum speed of only 34 mph. That’s still fast for an aquatic animal though, matching other ocean speedsters like the mako shark and killer whale. And with its tall, sail-like dorsal fin, it is one of the sea’s most visually distinct and impressive fishes.
Lake Sturgeon (3″ figure by Replica Toy Fish)
4.2 (6 votes)
Back with another Replica Toy Fish figure in the 3″ line, another of the models released in or around April of 2015. Again, I think one that I caught wind of via another collector or forum. This one is the lake sturgeon, Acipenser fulvescens, a species that was seen once before in the Safari Great Lakes toob, and was a welcome addition to the RTF series as well.
Longnose gar (6 Inch Series by Replica Toy Fish)
4.7 (6 votes)
Back with another figure from the Replica Fish Toys 6″ line, this time the longnose gar Lepisosteus osseus. Not as well known as its relative the alligator gar (and certainly not as common in figure form) this is nevertheless another distinctive, prehistoric fish from the waters of eastern North America, from southern Quebec to the Rio Grande drainage in Mexico and Texas.
