Vault Tales 144 ToyTrio Orthacanthus, Frilled shark, Blacktip Reef shark

Well, recently we looked at a bony fish trio and a theropod dinosaur trio so today is another group of cool animals, a shark trio! A prehistoric shark, a so-called primitive shark, and a fairly 'typical' shark! Safari Ltd Prehistoric Sharks Toob Orthacanthus One of those really weird 'pleuracanth' sharks. As weird as it looks, this figure may not capture the full strangeness of these animals. This could possibly be the first figure from the Safari Prehistoric Sharks toob that…

Vault tales Run the Set 141 Safari Tropical Butterflies toob

Summer is winding down--so time for some colourful bugs! It's a run the set today, and I'll be honest, it's going to be brief. Not because they aren't nice figures, I just wouldn't really have much to say. It's the Safari Ltd Tropical Butterflies set, number 684504. I believe first released around 2016 but it could have been earlier. As far as insects go, butterflies are a fairly popular, safe choice for companies--but with this set they went into some…

Vault Tales 136 ToyTrio Lotus Flower, Blue Spiny Lizard, Powan

Today's trio is all over the place...in terms of species, company and quality! Safari Flower Toob Lotus Flower It's a Lotus flower! Okay, not super exciting, but good potential for filling out scenes, like with a Schleich mini frog! Or with The Doctor, about 1:7 scale, but who knows for sure. Well, first up we have a plant. The lotus flower from the Safari Ltd Flowers toob, product number 682904 from 2013. As a set, it is certainly different; I'm…

Vault Tales 129 ToyTrio Housecat, Brachiosaurus & Mammoth pair

A ToyTrio today and it's...diverse. Again. Which is probably an accurate reflection of the animal figures in the house to be honest. I'm going to just jump right in. CollectA Mini Box Dinosaurs 2 Brachiosaurus The mini Brachiosaurus is a decent little figure, although I think every maker struggles with how, exactly, to pose them to look dynamic. The they make it like this one. Here we have another figure from a CollectA Mini Dinosaurs box. Set 2 this time…

Vault Tales Run the Set 124 Safari Dinosaur Skulls TOOB

A bunch of dinosaur heads! Note the range in size--because there is no way these are all to scale! Instead of trying to find appropriate human figures I'm leaning into it with our Jurassic World trio checking them out in the garden. We're back with yet another Run the Set, this time the Safari Ltd Dinosaur Skulls toob. You may recall way back near the beginning of this blog I wrote an individual post about just one of the skulls,…

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 Run the Set 113 Safari Trees TOOB

It's the whole set of trees! Evenly split between angiosperms and gymnosperms if you're curious. With a Safari Ltd mini bison. Back with another Run the Set! This time I'm going to go over the entire Safari Treess toob, set 684304. I talked about one of the figures...or two of them, because of different colours, about a year ago, the maple trees. There isn't a whole lot to add to that post, honestly. They're trees! They...stand there (as toys). Four…

Vault Tales Run the Set 111 ToyFishFactory American Angler Collection

It's a set of fish! popular American angling fish no less! We're back with a Run the Set again, this time the American Angler collection from Toy Fish Factory. I know I've talked about the TFF line at some point--I think in the old version of the blog. Since then, of course, the purpose of the site and how I discuss things has changed. But in case you don't want to go read an old thing, here's a quick run…

Vault Tales Run the Set 108 CollectA Dinosaurs MiniBox 1

All 12 figures from Dinosaurs set 1. I personally think we might be due for a couple more. So we're back already with another Run the Set! This time we'll look at a much more recent one, a box made up of miniature versions of some of the CollectA Deluxe and Standard dinosaurs. This is box set 1, released in 2016 under the catalog number A1101. Set two was released at the same time--giving us 20 small versions of CollectA…

The whole set of skulls. These are not to scale So we're back with another Run the Set again, heading for a second hundred posts! After writing up the last one I really like the way that format worked especially for these kinds of picture-heavy posts. So I am going to go with this kind of format. The thumbnail galleries and small pictures look better to me, I hope it looks good to you too. Safari toob Hippopotamus and Rhinoceros…

Vault Tales 99 Safari toob Champsosaurus

Not a croc--but it was in the toob! And now you'll know how! We're going to look at one of the oddest figures in an odd toob today, from Safari's Prehistoric Crocodiles toob (item number 679804). Strange because it's not really a crocodile at all, and strange because they're such weird animals overall! I am speaking of course of the choristodere Champsosaurus, one of 10 figures in the Safari toob that was available from 2010 until 2017...yes, another toob that…

Vault tales 79 Safari toob Sarcoprion

Who makes it? Safari Ltd as part of the Prehistoric Sharks toob. The toob item number is 679904. When did it come out? I think 2010...that sounds about right. Not the whorl-tooth shark we usually hear about--this one is much pointier! Still available? Sadly, no. Like other great toobs from Safari, this one has been discontinued. Where can it be found in my displays? I actually have a few of them. One is one the main shelves with lots of…
