FigureFrenzy 276 Brachiosaurus, Spiny terrapin, Sand tiger shark, Caecillian

Let's look at another weird range of figures. One of them isn't much to look at--but how often do we see caecillian figures? Almost never to be exact. Kaiyodo Dinotales Series 2 Brachiosaurus More dinotales! This time their really nice Brachiosaurus. It's about a 1:185 scale figure, so the man there is too big for that scale. First up, another of the great Dinotales figures, specifically the Brachiosaurus from series 2, number 27. There is not a lot to still…

Vault Tales 181 ToyTrio Alligator, Rhamphorhynchus, Poison Dart Frog

Well here's a truly broad assortment of figures...I don't even have two of them on display, for various reasons. Let's jump right in! And we'll probably keep these short... Animal Kaiser American Alligator It's certainly a reasonable Alligator figure. Not sure if it has all the details or not, but unmistakable for anything else.

Vault tales 67 Animal Kaiser Sperm Whale

Who makes it? Of the many properties that Bandai has had licensing deals with--it's a figure made in conjunction with the Japanese game (card? video? both?) Animal Kaiser--part of the Bigger Beast Series 1, number 8. I think. Kind of like the Playmates Dinosaur King figures. When did it come out? I honestly don't know. Last 10 years or so is my best guess. I'll say it now, the figure was hard to photograph and get the colours. Still available?…
