Vault Tales 244 Run the Set OUMCRAFT ‘Life’ Game figures part 3

Way back in April of 2021, I received a package from Thailand featuring a number of prehistoric animal models meant to be used with the Life game by designer Oumcraft. I detailed the figures I received in that package in two parts; the first featured the Cambrian, Ordovician and Silurian animals; the follow up looked at the Devonian age fish that I received. I had mentioned then, that I only received some of the figures, as others were still being…

Vault Tales 206 Run the Set OUMCRAFT ‘Life’ Game figures part 2

Only a couple days ago, I wrote about the first Oumcraft models I received in conjunction with my Life game from Kickstarter. Those ones focused on the Silurian and Devonian figures, including a number of acanthodians, conodonts, agnathans and early vertebrates. This time around, I will show the figures from the Devonian stage of the game (although there are a number of Carboniferous taxa as well--that particular age does not have a round in the game). There are quite a…

Vault Tales 205 Run the Set OUMCRAFT ‘Life’ Game figures part 1

So last week (April 20, 2021, for posterity's sake) I received a package in the mail from Thailand. Yes, I receive parcels all the time...but this is the first time I've ever received one from Thailand, which was cool. Even more cool is what was in that parcel. It was a game that I had backed on Kickstarter, called LIFE: The Evolution of Life. In case that name doesn't make it clear, it is a boardgame predicated upon using some…

Vault Tales 166 ToyTrio Huayangosaurus, Cave Bear, Thylacine

Today we will look at three very different figures, all of extinct animals. After that...they're all completely different from each other. Even a variety of materials! Kaiyodo Lawson Dinotales Series 7 Huayangosaurus It's always great to see a less traditional stegosaur figure, and Huayangosaurus is definitely an unusual figure! Our first figure today is from the last Kaiyodo Dinotales series, series 7, released as a Lawson series. As with the fifth and sixth series, there were two versions of each…

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…
