Vault tales Run the Set 60 Safari Ancient Fossils toob

What's going on here? Well, some figures don't really need a full review. Especially small bin or toob sets. And yes, I have discussed individual small figures from sets before but it can't hurt to shake things up a bit. So for this one, and others in the future (should have done it for the Safari Dino Skulls toob one, for example, instead of just one figure). But I'll get to shake it up a bit, and do lots of…

Vault tales 55 Safari toob Kronosaurus

Who makes it? Safari Ltd, part of their Carnivorous Dinos toob. And yes, it's one of the 4 not-dinosaurs in the dinos toob...but it is carnivorous! The toob number is 699004. When did it come out? I want to say around 2003. There have been a few adjustments to things like the paint schemes, rarely for the better. This is supposed to represent one of the most powerful and largest marine predators ever... Still available? Surprisingly yes--given how many times…

Vault tales 53 Safari toob Henodus

Who makes it? Safari Ltd as part of their Prehistoric Sea Life Toob, item number 682404. It's a set that I've previously talked about before. When did it come out? The toob was released in 2009 Still available? I still thought it was...even though it was discussed by me before! I think I'm in denial. Where can it be found in my displays? On a whole shelf of small toob-size animals, mostly from Safari! How does it fit in the…

Vault tales 51 CollectA Deinotherium (mini)

Who makes it? CollectA, as part of their Prehistoric Mammal mini box set, item number 89A1100 When did it come out? 2019 Still available? It hasn't been out for a year yet...it had better be! (It is) Somehow, for such a small figure, it can still appear large! Where can it be found in my displays? Along with several other mini set figures, including CollectA ones. How does it fit in the collection? It's a prehistoric mammal. And it's a…

Vault tales 40 Safari Toob Baryonyx

Who makes it? Safari Ltd, as part of their Sue and Her Friends toob, item 681304. When did it come out? The toob that contained this figure came out in 2012. However, the sculpt was first released in 2006 with a different toob, the Carnivorous Dinosaurs toob. The way it's posed, it looks like it's calling out to the sky! Still available? This toob is still available. Where can it be found in my displays? I have a shelf filled…

Vault tales 38 Safari Charniodiscus

Who makes it? One figure in the Safari Ltd Cambrian Life toob, number 677104. When did it come out? The toob was first released in 2013 The Charniodiscus figure! Not the most exciting organism...but their very existence is interesting, from a time before animals really started to take familiar shape. Still available? Unfortunately, no, the toob was discontinued in 2017. They may still be out there in random stores, but it's been a few years now. Where can it be…

Vault tales 34 Safari Toob Brachiosaurus skull

Who makes it? It's one of the model in the Safari Ltd Dinosaur skulls toob. Item number 687404 When did it come out? It was first released in 2009. Later in 2011, they released figures in a bulk bag. I have ones from both the toob and the bulk bag. They're the same figure. Still available? So far, yes. A skull! Of a Brachiosaurus! Not much more to say...unless...is it really Giraffititan? Where can it be found in my displays?…

Vault tales 32 Safari Toob Liopleurodon

Who makes it? Looks like the Random number generator really wanted to look into this set...same as the last post, it's a figure from the Safari Prehistoric Sea Life toob, 682404 The massive (looking) Safari Toob Liopleurodon When did it come out? Still available? Where can it be found in my displays? How does it fit in the collection? Any story behind it? Again, not really necessary to go back into this...! It's all just a big callback to the…

Vault tales 31 Safari Toob Tylosaurus

Who makes it? Safari Ltd as part of their Preshistoric Sea Life TOOB, item number 682404 When did it come out? I want to say 2007. But it was apparently 2009. It's a small but mighty little figure! Even the teeth, while a little uniform, are distinctly visible! Still available? I just found out that toob was discontinued in 2017! This is very disappointing to me, as that is a really great set. I hope a new one replaces it…

Vault tales 16 Wild Republic Sockeye Salmon

Who makes it? Wild Republic as part of their Canadian Wildlife tube, number unknown. It's a salmon! Whoo! When did it come out? From what I could find, 2007 Still available? And from the same research, the set is discontinued so...nope. Sorry. This is a bit of a shame for reasons I'll get into below! It' hard to scale this figure. It would be a little small for the guy, but close Where can it be found in my displays?…
