Panini – Fauna Figures

FigureFrenzy 294 Megalosaurus, Amargasaurus, Moeritherium, Woolly Rhino

It's all prehistoric megafauna today! From the Jurassic to the Pleistocene. As far as the figures, well...one if them is really nice. One of them is very okay. Two of them are very basic but ones that are probably pretty easy to get! Wild Republic/Imperial/random 'Megalosaurus' Lots of versions of the same figure...probably based on Megalosaurus toys and paintings from some time ago. Using height, probably around 1:92, so the explorer is close in scale. Our first figure is actually…

Vault Tales 228 FigureFrenzy Futabasaurus, Salmon, Velociraptor, Xenacanthus, Teleoceras

More random figures. Possibly more random than normal! Even a figure that was customized (not the first one I've discussed, I think. But a weirder one). Mostly prehistoric animals though. That's something. Playmates Dinosaur King Futabasaurus This pattern on Futabasaurus is almost a meme among early figures of the animal. Not sure how that came to pass.

As a clade, we are looking at the least inclusive group including mammals and Exaeretodon (foreshadow!); in my personal system, this will refer to the Cynognathia as a 'basal' group (plus a few taxa ancestral to that), sister to the Probainognathia (which contains true mammals and their closer ancestors, broken…

Vault Tales 182 FigureFrenzy Hyena, Spinosaurus, Polar bear, Sea turtles, Sasquatch

So I decided to change things up a little, as mentioned at the end of my last post. It felt like it would be more fun to do more figures, with shorter discussions. Unless, of course, it warrants more discussion. So I'm labelling these FigureFrenzies! Lots of fun stuff (I hope). Let's do this! Panini Spotted Hyena One of my first hyena figures. From a blind bag. And yet somehow I have so many of them! Roughly to scale with…
