Turtle – Fauna Figures

FigureFrenzy 276 Brachiosaurus, Spiny terrapin, Sand tiger shark, Caecillian

Let's look at another weird range of figures. One of them isn't much to look at--but how often do we see caecillian figures? Almost never to be exact. Kaiyodo Dinotales Series 2 Brachiosaurus More dinotales! This time their really nice Brachiosaurus. It's about a 1:185 scale figure, so the man there is too big for that scale. First up, another of the great Dinotales figures, specifically the Brachiosaurus from series 2, number 27. There is not a lot to still…

Vault Tales 254 FigureFrenzy Apatosaurus, Char, Poraspis, Archelon, Spinosaurus

Wide range of figures again today. All over the map--prehistoric and modern, big and small, really nice and...less high end. I guess that's what happens when picks are random...! Jurassic World FK mini Apatosaurus (Walmart) It's a very basic Apatosaurus from a Jurassic World set. Decent monochrome though, although the 'blood splash' is a little weird. It's about 1:182 scale, so the guy's about half the needed height. First up, a small mini dinosaur figure from Mattel, an Apatosaurus from the…

Vault Tales 243 Run the Set Safari Ltd Alligators Alive! toob

Now with another toob from Safari! This one has a very narrow theme, in this case focusing on a number of American Alligator figures (and a few associated reptiles from their normal range). In a way, it's surprising that a toob like this didn't come out sooner--Safari Ltd is a company founded and based in Florida, notable for their alligators; and even their logo is an alligator. All of the adult figures, more or less similar in size, on average…

Vault Tales 240 Run the Set CollectA Prehistoric Marine Animals MiniBox

Staying with the sets, although this is the first one in some time that isn't Japanese! It's a more recent one from CollectA, the Prehistoric Marine mini box. CollectA item number A1104, it was released in 2017. The only figures that were already part of the CollectA prehistoric figures lines. On the left, the only widely available), in the centre a Temnodontosaurus, and on the right, a small Dunkleosteus It was super exciting when CollectA first announced they would release…

Vault Tales 231 Run the Set Kaiyodo UHA Chocolasaurs Dinotales Series 1 PART 1

Part 1 - The Mesozoic Figures! That's right--as the title suggests, I am going to be looking at the full run of the Series 1 Dinotales line, the one that started it all! I have looked at various individual Dinotales figures before of course, but I don't think I tackled a full complete set. And it turns out, with at least 25 figures that gets a little daunting. Because unlike some sets, Dinotales deserve at least a little more time…

Vault tales Run the Set 132 Innovative Kids Groovy Tubes Raging Reptiles

The whole reptile gang with the box cover. Possibly the most diverse reptiles set ever. As for the figures, they are a solid O K. 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…

Vault tales 41 Dinosaur Train Adocus

Who makes it? The company Learning Curve, as part of the series of figures with the Dinosaur Train PBS series. His name is apparently Adam. When did it come out? Originally came out in 2010 Adam the Adocus. He's a very happy turtle. Still available? I honestly can't tell. The distribution was always a bit difficult to pin down. Probably not though. Where can it be found in my displays? On the shelves filled with colourful oddball figures. One of…

Vault tales #18 Shapeways Odonotochelys

Who makes it? It is a 3D printed model from Shapeways, the creator goes by the name Prehistoric Creatures Shop. It's a very fitting name. When did it come out? I received it 2011. But I believe the file went up earlier than that. Here it is...stark white against a reef background. Still available? As long as the file is available, and there are 3D printers, yes Where can it be found in my displays? I have a shelf full…
