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 190 FigureFrenzy Hammerhead sharks, Rainbow trout, Beluga Whale, Luna moths

So here's a bunch of random figures today...sometimes the random generator is really, really random! So let's get random!
