FigureFocus 310 Bullyland Gomphotherium

So here's a fun figure from a line I haven't talked about enough. Another figure from the Bullyland Naturkundemuseum Stuttgart Prehistoric Mammal line. As I've said, this was a wonderful series with a relatively broad (especially for the late 90s) diversity of Cenozoic prehistoric animals (admittedly, all but one were mammals). This figure, the Gomphotherium was especially exciting because it was probably one of the earliest non-mammoth prehistoric elephant figures, barring a couple of hard-to-get Starlux models. And although the…

And yes, coincidentally, we already visited a mammoth earlier this week, along with some other prehistoric mammals. It isn't planned, just kind of random. A very classic animal, in a very classic rendition. The Bullyland Woolly Mammoth is number 58355, and was among the earliest models made…
