FigureFocus 312 Safari Incredible Creatures Koi Fish (Yamabuki Ogon)

Just in time for summer and pond season (where I am anyway) today is the Safari Incredible Creatures Koi Fish, item 266329. First released in 2017, this figure was released in the line of large, fairly robust models of animals that can be at least somewhat true-sized. This certainly works for the koi figure, which is large enough to act as a bath or pool toy, but just as easily fits into a display of fish figures. An interesting choice…

FigureFrenzy 297 River dolphin, Komodo dragon, Coral snake, Mekosuchine

Another very random foursome. Really, really random--mostly reptiles though, by accident. But a good assortment! Safari Ltd South American Animals toob Amazon River Dolphin A fairly recent one, an Amazon River Dolphin from a Safari toob. Great to see one as a widely available figure. It's about 1:35 so the diver might be a little small, but close. First up, an Amazon River Dolphin figure from the 2021 Amazon River animals toob from Safari. This toob, number 100684, is a…

Vault Tales 224 FigureFrenzy Badger, Gharial, Water bug, Black bear, Snapping turtle

Back to another very random bunch of figures. Not sure if there is any particular way I can connect them...perhaps, all of them are living animals that could theoretically cause some kind of harm to people that aren't paying attention? Whatever connects them (it was random) they're all pretty decent models though! Play Visions American Badger A classic figure from a great series--the American badger from Play Visions. As with most PV figures, it is fairly small, about 1:13, close…

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…

Vault Tales 155 ToyTrio Chipmunk, Armadillo, Eagle Ray

Well, we're back to a pretty random trio...two are from Colorata, so that's a link. The other is very much not. But they're all really nice so there's that! Safari Ltd Incredible Creatures Chipmunk There's no way to tell of course--but this is a big figure. Life size, really, maybe a little bigger. It's meant to be an Eastern Chipmunk. First up, our Safari figure, from their Incredible Creatures line. This is their Chipmunk, Safari item number 263029. Overall, the…
