Iguana – Fauna Figures

Vault Tales 211 FigureFrenzy Greek Chimaera, Olenoides, Trilobite, Iguana

So today is going to be...brief. Not a whole lot to say about most of these so it's going to be brief. Not everything in the collection is gold...Two different trilobites so that's unexpected! Safari Ltd Mythical Realms Chimaera A very distinct take on the Greek Chimaera. With extra dragon head and wings. Scale is of course meaningless, so let's just put an adventurer from DnD with it. It's probably oversized but again, it's also made up. First up, one…

Vault Tales 204 Run the Set WingMau Lizards

I'm going to be looking at another full set today, the Wing Mau set of lizards. I have visited one of the individual figures once before, but I'll go over the full set of 12 now. It's an interesting set that features a number of species that we don't otherwise see made as figures. And since they're all marked, it's even better because it takes away some of the guess work (seeing as the paint jobs are...not always accurate). Most…

Vault Tales 198 Run the Set Kaiyodo Takara ChocoQ Amazing Animals

It's a Run the Set today, a few figures from one of the last Kaiyodo Choco animal series. In this case, it was a set called Amazing Animals, released with Takara in the rebranded 'ChocoQ' line. This occurred after Kaiyodo parted ways with Furuta in about 2003 (I think); from what I recall, Kaiyodo had insisted to Furuta that only their ChocoEgg Kaiyodo figures would be part of the Furuta offerings...then Furuta didn't do that. So Kaiyodo went over with…

Vault Tales 197 FigureFrenzy Japanese weasel, Sidneyia, Marine iguana, Fukuiraptor

Today's newest Figure Frenzy is a bunch of random figures again! So much fun! This time, though, we have two from Safari, and two from Kaiyodo--demonstrating some variety in on what those companies can do. Kaiyodo ChocoEgg Animatales Japanese Weasel It's a weasel figure, a Japanese Weasel which is of course a less common figure (outside of Japan anyway). It's about 1:6 scale, so pretty in line with The Doctor. First we have a figure from the Kaiyodo ChocoEgg Animatales…

FigureTales / ToyTrio

Vault Tales 114 ToyTrio Liopleurodon, Water Monitor, Rhino Iguana

This one is a new Toy Trio, a model I've used only once before. A chance to look quickly at a few figures that were picked by the Random Number Generator, but might not warrant a full on post on their own. It's also a chance to work through the list a little faster...there's about 3900 items still on there (give or take some doubles or skips) so I'm not running out anytime soon! Kaiyodo Dinotales S1 Liopleurodon A very…
