goblin shark – Fauna Figures

Vault Tales 219 FigureFrenzy Cockatoo, Coyote, Eel, Goblin shark, Wakaleo

Back to a randomized figure frenzy. And this one is very, very random! A lot of these will also be pretty quick...sometimes there just isn't much to say...

Another weird assortment today. Honestly, I'm going to keep these short. Not that they're not good figures in their ways, but sometimes there isn't much to say. Learning Curve "Dinosaur Train" The Old Spinosaurus This is a very strange depiction of Spinosaurus. It's cartoon accurate I suppose. First up, another Dinosaur Train figure from Takara.
