Vault Tales 247 FigureFrenzy Ichthyosaurus and belemnite, Torpdedo ray, Catfish, Cusk eel, Trumpetfish

Another frenzy of figures! And all aquatic animals! Mostly fish, with one prehistoric reptile + mollusk diorama...let's get in the water! Bandai Hungry Dinos series 1 Ichthyosaurus A very detailed diorama featuring Ichthyosaurus leaping from the water with some kind of cephalopod in it's mouth; likely a belemnite of some kind (I assume Phragmoteuthis based on location and size). The figure is roughly 1:30 - 1:40 scale. I've also included a closer photo of the belemnite. The first figure is…

Vault Tales 246 FigureFrenzy Bat, Horse, Smilodon, Megaloceros, Theropoda

More randomness...including what might be my first accidental repeat of a figure! Considering how many I've done, I'm surprised I haven't done it before (or at least, didn't catch it before I had everything together!) I'll put a different spin on it I guess...it did throw off the otherwise 'mammals only' theme for the post though. Schleich Miniatures Bat A teeny tiny BATfigure! No species is given or determinate. But it is small. First up, another of the very small…

Vault Tales 245 FigureFrenzy Sea Cucumber, Sea Star, Pipefish, Garden eels, Goby

It's been a while since I did a random figure frenzy, but here we are! Five figures from varying companies, of varying quality. And all represent marine animals (although I don't think they coexist...) FUL (Nayab?) Sea Cucumbers large & small A couple of Sea Cucumber figures from ta set of small and large marine figures. Let's be honest, not a particularly common animal figure...similar in size, about 1:5 and 1: 4 scale First up, a pair of weird little…

Vault Tales 228 FigureFrenzy Futabasaurus, Salmon, Velociraptor, Xenacanthus, Teleoceras

More random figures. Possibly more random than normal! Even a figure that was customized (not the first one I've discussed, I think. But a weirder one). Mostly prehistoric animals though. That's something. Playmates Dinosaur King Futabasaurus This pattern on Futabasaurus is almost a meme among early figures of the animal. Not sure how that came to pass. It's about 1:60 scale, close to the diver. Visiting another Dinosaur King figure again already? Yup, another wave 2 figure, and one that…

Vault Tales 227 FigureFrenzy Cheetah, Iguanodon, Milkfish, Sifaka, Sturgeon

Well, today is about as random as they're going to get. All over the place in terms of species, quality, brand, materials...Kind of like my actual collection, it can be kind of all over the place! Schleich Bayala Arelan Cheetah I personally think this is one of the most interesting Cheetah figures made, by Schleich, and among many other cheetah figures. The posture is such a unique one. About 1:18 scale, so close to the misguided zookeeper there. Our first…

Vault Tales 226 FigureFrenzy Paraceratherium, Pleuroceras, Pteraspis, Pronghorn

It's a day brought to us by the letter P! And P can also be for prehistoric...mostly. Although the only living one only has prehistoric relatives. CollectA Deluxe 1:20 (1:40?) Paraceratherium First up, a figure of the biggest land mammal (or...at least one of them?), the CollectA Paraceratherium. It's an impressive figure, but was marketed as a 1:20 when there is pretty much no way. It's 18cm at the shoulder, putting it closer to 1:40, close to The Doctor there.…

Vault Tales 225 FigureFrenzy Camel, Carnotaurus, Mosasaurus, Sarcosuchus, Alligator

Lots of reptiles today, and a single tiny mammal! Some prehistoric, some modern. A few are collectable...some are just kind of there...! Lots of 'mini' figures! Ausini Bactrian Camel A tiny little Bactrian camel from the Ausini mini series. It's a pretty basic figure...around 1:130, so that guy there is a little too big! Or the camel is a small one. We're going to start with a little figure from the Ausini set again! Once again, a fairly recognizable animal…

Vault Tales 224 FigureFrenzy Badger, Gharial, Water bug, Black bear, Snapping turtle

Back to another very random bunch of figures. Not sure if there is any particular way I can connect them...perhaps, all of them are living animals that could theoretically cause some kind of harm to people that aren't paying attention? Whatever connects them (it was random) they're all pretty decent models though! Play Visions American Badger A classic figure from a great series--the American badger from Play Visions. As with most PV figures, it is fairly small, about 1:13, close…

Vault Tales 222 FigureFrenzy Allosaurus, Hallucigenia, Pufferfish, Triceratops, Lungfish

Another frenzy of figures! As usual, kind of all over the place. Dinosaurs, fish, weird invertebrates. And all from different companies. For the first time in a while, I think these are also all figures that I currently display! That doesn't always happen! I also just realized that every one of these figures is from a different Japanese series. Which might indicate just how many Japanese models I have! Kaiyodo Dinotales Special Release White Allosaurus The colour of this Allosaurus…

Vault Tales 221 FigureFrenzy Rutiodon, Helicoprion, Reef shark, Jackal, Postosuchus

Back to some random figures, but as a group, ones that I am overall pretty fond of! I think you'll agree that they're all collection worthy for various reasons. ActionProducts I-Dig-Sharks Helicoprion The position of the tooth whorl kind of gives away the age of the figure, although it might have just been wrong! The figure is roughly 1:120, so the diver is too big (or it's a small Helicoprion) First up, a strange, short-lived figure from a company known…

Vault Tales 219 FigureFrenzy Cockatoo, Coyote, Eel, Goblin shark, Wakaleo

Back to a randomized figure frenzy. And this one is very, very random! A lot of these will also be pretty quick...sometimes there just isn't much to say... Safari Ltd toob Sulfur-Crested Cockatoo The same Sulfur-crested Cockatoo figure from two different toobs; the one on the left was purchased more recently...but the figure on the right is much more detailed! The figures are about 1:5 scale, so a bit big for Ray there, but it looks about right First up…

Vault Tales 213 FigureFrenzy Lionfish, Bamboo shark, Wobbegong, Axelrodichthys

We're going all fish today! Cool fish! Extinct lobefins! Weird sharks! Oddly...all sharks are carpet sharks. Short introduction. It's a great bunch of figures so let's go! FameMaster 4D Puzzle Lionfish Starting with a very fancy puzzle, a FameMaster Red Lionfish. It's about 1:4 scale, so I don't really have much to scale with it. It would go very well as a near life-size aquarium diorama fixture (but I don't think it would do well in water. I have spoken…
