As the first group to leave the waters to become, at least partially, terrestrial, amphibians have had a long and intriguing evolutionary history. Though no longer the mighty giants they were once, they still exist in a multitude across the globe, in spite of the many trials they face from disease and humanity. There are a plethora of frog models on the market, and here we see one by AAA.
Once again, identification is an issue, as it is just labelled “Frog”. There are many frog species, so trying to track the exact species is not easy. from what I’ve seen, I believe this is an example of the European common frog (Rana temporaria), based on it’s colouration largely. The toes may be a little short for the species, but it is the closest I could see. I leave this up to debate.
The pose is a simple sitting position, maybe looking for prey, maybe about to hop off somewhere (had to work that in somewhere!), it’s up to you. It is small for figures in general, but large for most frog models, measuring 1.6″ high and 3″ long. Still good for not taking too much space on a collectors shelf.
This is quite a nice little figure, smooth and working well for what it is meant to be. This is a discontinued figure, as with a lot of AAA models, so eBay is your best bet, and I do recommend it. It is a great model, so grab it if you can.
