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 112 – Clades – Pliosaurs

Part of the fun of doing these clades ones is learning more about the models I have! Here we some that only show up as one example in my collection--the CollectA Rhomalaeosaurus which is not quite a pliosaurid but is a pliosauroid; the CollectA Attenborosaurus, a long-necked pliosaur that I originally thought was a plesiosaur; the Feves Peloneustes recently discussed here; and the Innovative Kids Brachauchenius from their Gone Extinct book. So we are back with another Clades discussion--one that,…

Vault Tales 110 CollectA Uintatherium

The Uintatherium as proposed by CollectA. It's a pretty active, dynamic beast. With the obvious knobbly head! Today we are going to look at a single figure (I know, it's been a while!), the recent CollectA Uintatherium from their Deluxe prehistoric mammals line. It is number 88800 in their series, and was released in 2017, although I don't think I actually purchased mine until...2019? Not fully sure what the delay was. Probably a matter of needing to track it down.…

Vault Tales Run the Set 108 CollectA Dinosaurs MiniBox 1

All 12 figures from Dinosaurs set 1. I personally think we might be due for a couple more. So we're back already with another Run the Set! This time we'll look at a much more recent one, a box made up of miniature versions of some of the CollectA Deluxe and Standard dinosaurs. This is box set 1, released in 2016 under the catalog number A1101. Set two was released at the same time--giving us 20 small versions of CollectA…

How does it fit in the collection? It's a prehistoric mammal. And it's a…

Vault Tales 12 CollectA Black-backed Jackal

Who makes it? CollectA, as part of their Woodlands (?) collection. Never really thought of these as woodlands animals, but that where they put it. Item number is 88655 When did it come out? In 2014, back when it was easier to get the CollectA figures! The black-backed jackal, skulking along. There's a bit of personality in this figure. He (?) is clearly thinking deep thoughts. Or is hungry. Still available? It is indeed Where can it be found in…
