Manta Ray – Fauna Figures

FigureFrenzy 286 Tree frog, Owl, Bat-eared fox, Manta ray

We're going to go through a bunch of mini-size figures this week! A good look at how many companies have actually made these tiny-size figures! With one exception, most of these figures are sized well for scenes and dioramas with more traditionally larger figures. In keeping with the theme, I'll keep it short (there's only so much to say...) Safari Ltd Good Luck Minis Red-Eye Tree Frog A tiny little Red-eye Tree Frog. Which looks pretty good, if a little…

Vault Tales 186 FigureFrenzy Crappie, Hemicyclapsis, Stingray, Botia, Manta

Is it another Figure Frenzy? It is! Another 5 figures (some with a few versions) all of the fish variety! It feels like it's been so long since I visited some fish figures. Replica Toy Fish Crappie Such a Crappie fish figure! But seriously...that's what it's called. The figure is apparently 1:7 scale, so a little big for The Doctor but maybe it's a really big one! First up, we have a Crappie figure from Replica Toy Fish, which I've…

Vault Tales 173 ToyTrio Hammerhead Shark, Manta Ray, Knob-tail Gecko

Starting the year with what might be described as...very random figures. Most of which are, at best, okay. But they're all part of larger sets so there's that. Let's get to it. Safari Ltd Endangered Species-Marine toob Great Hammerhead Shark Possibly one of the most popular shark species to be made as a figure, a hammerhead shark! It's pretty hard to mistake for anything else at least! First up, we have a Great Hammerhead shark toob figure from Safari Ltd.…

Vault Tales 120 ToyTrio Vauxia, Reef Manta, Paradisefish

Here we have another ToyTrio, with a chance to revisit a figure from an earlier, revisit a set I mentioned once, and visit a set I'm very fond of for the first time! Safari Cambrian toob Vauxia These photos probably look very similar to the ones from my Porifera clades post. There's not really much to be done with just this figure on it's own. This first one is a look again specifically at the Vauxia figure from the recent…

Vault tales #20 Epoch Oceanic Manta Ray

Who makes it? A figure from the Epoch 'Life Account of the Trip' lines, specifically the Shark & Ray Series. No item number that I'm aware of. When did it come out? I don't have any idea. I've had it since about 2003. So sometime before then. The figure on its base. The peg has a ball joint that allows the model to be rotated and tilted. Also, that peg is easily broken when the ball is being pushed into…
