Futabasaurus – Fauna Figures

Vault Tales 285 Run the Set Kaiyodo National Museum of Nature & Science

It'll be a quick look at the figures I have from a set today--two thirds of which I looked at in greater detail once before (when I apparently changed my format!) But always great to look at the history a bit more. Two figures that I've visited before, but so worth the extra look. Futabasaurus in the purple flesh, and a Futabasaurus skeleton. Clearly, the museum and Japan are proud of their sea monster! As said before, the series was…

That's something. Playmates Dinosaur King Futabasaurus This pattern on Futabasaurus is almost a meme among early figures of the animal. Not sure how that came to pass. It's about 1:60 scale, close to the diver. Visiting another Dinosaur King figure again already? Yup, another wave 2 figure, and one that…

Vault tales 91 Kaiyodo National Museum Futabasaurus & Skeleton

(Side note--I've been doing this for almost a year, and have decided to change up the format. I'll say about the same things, but I'm just going to go with paragraphs now!) A pretty purple plesiosaur perfectly perched...precariously? The alliteration got away from me, it's actually on an acrylic peg of course. Today's figure (well, figures) are continuing the Kaiyodo theme, with a pair from the Kaiyodo National Museum gashapon series--a set of capsule figures with a natural sciences theme.…
