Book – Fauna Figures

FigureTales 287 – Clades – Cladistia

We're looking at a clade again today, and as far as clades go...I have been excited and dreading it all at the same time. As the title says, it is the crown group Cladistia, which includes the modern bichirs and reedfish and their fossil relatives. I'm excited because as I'm sure I've mentioned before, bichirs are easily my favorite fish of all time. Dreading because, well...not a whole lot to say. I may be a fan, but I'm no expert.…

Vault tales Run the Set 132 Innovative Kids Groovy Tubes Raging Reptiles

And just like the last one, this set is going to look at another Mythical/Fantasy set. This time it is called the Magical Creatures (as opposed to the aforementioned Mythical Beasts). Both sets feature novel interpretations of…

FigureTales / monster / Run the Set

Vault tales Run the Set 89 Innovative Kids Groovy Tubes Mythical Beasts

What is this? Another Run the Set already!? Exciting! This is a bit of a weird departure. I don't often discuss fantasy or mythical animals here, as I don't generally collect them much now--but I would take advantage of unique sets when they appear. For example, as you can see from the photo of the box, it was super discounted! And it has some interesting models--plus a book and a game. A very simple, lame game. Only $10! I'd have…
