Snake – Fauna Figures

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 Run the Set 132 Innovative Kids Groovy Tubes Raging Reptiles

So two Innovative Kids Groovy Tubes set in one week...sometimes the Random Number Generator doesn't seem so random...Anyway, kind of exciting to finally get to one of the animal sets. This is actually the first one that I saw in a store, and couldn't believe some of the animals inside. There were some that I…
