Bandai – Fauna Figures

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 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 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. It's around 1:50 scale, so ore or less in scale with DnD guy there. First up, yet another Animal Kaiser figure (I have a surprising number...hopefully…

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?…

Vault Tales 3 Bandai Spotted Hyena standing

Who makes it? Bandai, as part of a World Natural Animals capsule series of African animals. Most were paired mother & young, or a family trio. The hyena set is two adults; the pictured one is the standing adult (the other one is sitting in a decidedly not-hyena like pose). They don't give product numbers in the line. UPDATE--right after posting this, I noticed the number 12 in two places on that card. I guess there is an item number...:/…
