Opabinia – Fauna Figures

Vault Tales 268 FigureFrenzy Ichthyosaurus, Opabinia, Ammonite, Stethacanthus

All prehistoric! All aquatic! All kinds of different taxonomic groups. And wildly diffefrent companies. Just a small glimpse of the range of figures I have I guess. Dinotales Series 2 Ichthyosaurus More Dinotales figures! This time a classic prehistoric animal, Ichthyosaurus! And a really great representation of the animal. It's about 1:38 scale so the diver is way too small. We'll start with a figure from a series that, of course, I've looked at many times before, from Kaiyodo Dinotales…

At least here I can save some time--all of these are of course long out of production, and can only be found through auctions or trading.

Vault tales Run the Set 135 Kaiyodo CapsuleQ Palaeozoic

One of the more recent sets by Kaiyodo. Admittedly, only 80% of a recent set... We have a Run-the-Set today, this time the Paleozoic Era set from the Kaiyodo CapsuleQ Museum line. This set was released as a limited run in 2015. I am not sure what exactly, but it was likely for a museum event or some kind of promotion with a Dinosaur Expo in Japan. In this instance, it was reflecting a number of Paleozoic fossil creatures that,…
