FigureFrenzy 293 Pike, Salmon, Reef shark, White shark

It's been a while, but we're going all fish today! A couple of sharks, and a couple of freshwater fish, both Protacanthopterygiians (and also both from Replica Toy Fish). Overall a good day for fish. FameMaster Great White Shark A pretty decent Great White Shark model for a 3D model puzzle. Too bad the seams are so obvious. The diver is about 1:72, so it can work for the figure. We're going to start with the biggest fish (although not…

FigureTales 288 – Clades – Holostei

Okay, thanks to the Random Number Generator, it looks like I'm working through the 2021 Fishmas tree again but I promise I'm not...plus, the Chondrostei was covered a very long time ago anyway! But it's going to be another daunting one for me--another fish group that I greatly appreciate but don't have much personal knowledge on, the Holostei, so the modern Gars and Bowfin (and a whole lot of fossil taxa...) One of those groups at least has some pretty…

Vault Tales 260 FigureFrenzy Stegosaurus+Allosaurus, Goldfish, Sea turtles, Salamander, Gar

Bunch of random figures yet again! Overall, pretty great figures. Including a cool gar from a company I haven't visited for a while. There's even going to be a few paired figures! Takara DinoExpo 2012 Dino Kingdom Stegosaurus+Allosaurus A classic pair of dino antagonists! Stegosaurus and Allosaurus on fancy bases! They are both around 1:83 scale First up, we have a pair of dinosaurs that were released as part of a set with a Japanese Dinosaur Expo in 2012. The…

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 145 ToyTrio Ayu, Brown trout, Wels catfish

So, another trio and this time it's all (mostly) freshwater fish! All of them being ones that are frequently caught by anglers, for various reasons. Plus, I don't think any of these fish figures are actually still in production anymore...so there's that. Yujin Freshwater Fish Pictorial book 1 Ayu Popular in as a food fish, the Ayu is also known as the Sweetfish. They are also popular as figures from Japan. Our first one is a fish from Japanese company…

Vault tales 127 – Clades – Chondrostei

I am back with another Clades post. This one is exciting because it features one of my favorite fish groups! It's also daunting because I have a lot of representatives of this group (unlike most of the ones I've done) which means more to say. And also trying to sort out photo presentation... As it says in the title, it is the clade Chondrostei, the modern sturgeons and paddlefish (and of course a variety of fossil relatives...none of which are…

Vault tales 92 Customized Replica Toy Fish Amur Pike

The original northern pike (left) with the Amur pike repaint Today's figure is another fish from the defunct Replica Toy Fish Company, but more than that, it is another custom paint job of one of the RTF figures. Last time I turned a brook trout into a bull trout, this time I turned a northern pike into an Amur pike (AKA blackspotted pike). Like the majority of the small RTF fish, the northern pike came out in about 2010. I…

Vault tales 81 Replica Toy Fish Yellow Perch

Who makes it? One of the original 3" fish from Replica Toy Fish. At one point they were divided into sets, the yellow perch was part of the Pond Fish set. When did it come out? About 2010. The release was hard to pin down between when they were announced and when they came out. A yellow perch. A pretty classic fish species. Still available? Disappointingly, no. The whole series was discontinued about 2017. There are still a couple of…
