Vault Tales 136 ToyTrio Lotus Flower, Blue Spiny Lizard, Powan

Today's trio is all over the place...in terms of species, company and quality! Safari Flower Toob Lotus Flower It's a Lotus flower! Okay, not super exciting, but good potential for filling out scenes, like with a Schleich mini frog! Or with The Doctor, about 1:7 scale, but who knows for sure. Well, first up we have a plant. The lotus flower from the Safari Ltd Flowers toob, product number 682904 from 2013. As a set, it is certainly different; I'm…

Vault Tales 133 ToyTrio Andalusian, Mapusaurus, Utahraptor

Another ToyTrio, and another pretty random assortment! MojoFun Andalusian stallion I don't have many horses. And really, this one is only in the collection by accident I believe that this might be the first horse I've looked at on this blog. As I've said before, I don't really have much to do with farm/domestic animals, and have never gone too far into horse collecting--from what I can tell, that may be the largest subset of animal collecting there is (even…

Vault Tales 129 ToyTrio Housecat, Brachiosaurus & Mammoth pair

A ToyTrio today and it's...diverse. Again. Which is probably an accurate reflection of the animal figures in the house to be honest. I'm going to just jump right in. CollectA Mini Box Dinosaurs 2 Brachiosaurus The mini Brachiosaurus is a decent little figure, although I think every maker struggles with how, exactly, to pose them to look dynamic. The they make it like this one. Here we have another figure from a CollectA Mini Dinosaurs box. Set 2 this time…

Vault Tales 126 ToyTrio Megalictis, Dromedary, Helicoprion

Sometimes a Toy Trio has a theme, something that links them together. Maybe it's a taxonomic theme, or a geographic theme, or maybe their respective companies have something in common. And sometimes, the only connection is 'animal figure that is in my collection'. This trio is one of those latter ones. These are seriously all over the place. Just like the actual collection! RalPartha Beastmasters Megalictis Small pewter figure of a giant extinct wolverine-like weasel? Of course! So, in the…

Vault Tales 123 ToyTrio Doedicurus, Tarsier, Daspletosaurus

Today is another Toy Trio, this time featuring a really...really...weird assortment. I suppose if we want to connect them, they all have a Japanese origin of some kind? Let's go with that. Kaiyodo Dinotales S6 Doedicurus One of the classic 'Ice Age' animals--a mammal that found out about ankylosaurs and said, "I can do that" Our first stop is another excellent little figure from the Kaiyodo Dinotales series. This Doedicurus figure is number 102 in the original Dinotales series--and by…

Vault Tales 120 ToyTrio Vauxia, Reef Manta, Paradisefish

Here we have another ToyTrio, with a chance to revisit a figure from an earlier, revisit a set I mentioned once, and visit a set I'm very fond of for the first time! Safari Cambrian toob Vauxia These photos probably look very similar to the ones from my Porifera clades post. There's not really much to be done with just this figure on it's own. This first one is a look again specifically at the Vauxia figure from the recent…

Vault Tales 118 ToyTrio Nimravid, Iberian Lynx, Ichthyosaur

Time for another Toy Trio, a model I use to look quickly at a few figures that were picked by the Random Number Generator, but might not warrant a full on post on their own. It's also a chance to work through the list a little faster...I'm not going to run through it anytime soon, but there's lots to get to! Mech (?) "smilodon"/Nimravid This is not a high quality figure...and despite the label, there's no way that is Smilodon…

Vault Tales 114 ToyTrio Liopleurodon, Water Monitor, Rhino Iguana

This one is a new Toy Trio, a model I've used only once before. A chance to look quickly at a few figures that were picked by the Random Number Generator, but might not warrant a full on post on their own. It's also a chance to work through the list a little faster...there's about 3900 items still on there (give or take some doubles or skips) so I'm not running out anytime soon! Kaiyodo Dinotales S1 Liopleurodon A very…

Vault Tales 103 ToyTrio Char, Salamander, Maiasaura

What do we have here? A new format. I realized that a lot of the time my random number generator picks figures from the collection that might not necessitate a full entry, or require more than a couple photos. So as the figures get picked, I will choose a few and discuss them together. It is unlikely that they will be that closely related thematically--instead it will be a quick opportunity to give a brief glimpse at how broad my…
