BlueKrono's Collections

[BlueKrono]

Absolutely fantastic collection! Where did you get the Axolotl? I've been looking for one and found nothing.

Thank you

In my neotenic collection there is only one true axolotl, the tiny green one in the middle. It's a Kaiyodo figure; I think they also made it in albinotic colors. Got it off eBay a number of years ago. Were you referring to a different one?

The white, green and black/spotted ones (seem like a set) look like true axolotl, I was referring to these.

Managed to find a Kaiyodo on eBay, but it does not compare to your white and green ones.

Those are the various Safari ltd mudpuppies. The green and brown are discontinued.

Stargatedalek is right, they are mudpuppies. The spotted one is from the Tennessee Aquarium Collection. Here is a nice walk-around of it:

The other two are usually just called "Safari mudpuppies" and are both available on eBay right now. I got the spotted from an aquarium in Duluth, MN, the green from a small, third-party website and the glow in the dark from a zoo in Chicago, IL.

Thank you!

Albeit similar to axolotl, Mudpuppies are different species so no thanks. I can only hope that a nice figure comes out soon.

True. Mudpuppies are my favorite amphibian, and I have a tattoo of one on my ribs. I'm actually surprised there aren't more axolotl figures out there with how popular they are in the pet trade. The Japanese especially seem to love them, but there aren't even a great abundance of Japanese figures of axolotls.

It's the same with vaquita, another critically endangered species, almost no figures. I guess the popularity applies to both species and figures.

I believe there is also a figure (albino form) with the Hikari set of aquarium figures from Japan--and that one is even harder to find.

Also, I just noticed that Logan has the same salamander lure as you do! I cut the hooks off because, well, duh. It would be nice to pull the metal right out, but what are you gonna do!

I'm late to the party as I wasn't around much when you posted your pics but... amazing collection! @BlueKrono I'm trying to imaging what your huge collection (I know how extenstive your prehistoric collection is also) would look displayed all together. You'd probably fill a room, if not a house. Where do you keep it all!?

I had to upgrade from a one bedroom apartment to a two room. Amazingly, my 2 or 3 largest collections aren't even uploaded on the internet yet. I'll do so as soon as I get a new phone and could justice on the photos.

Looking forward to that!

Accomplished something big today: putting up the last of the shelves in my new collections room. We bought a house near the end of the year last year, and one requirement I had was that I get my own room to display all my collections. Now shelves span its 14 ft. walls. The moving process took much longer than I expected, as I spent a few months moving my stuff to the new place and several more getting the old place in list-worthy condition. I cleared out my storage unit a couple weeks ago and now have all my possessions in one place for the first time in years. Over the next week or so I'll be putting the figures up and finally curating my collection. Cool things on the horizon! 🥳

Can't wait to see those shelves filled!!!!

[Saarlooswolfhound]

That is SO exciting for you! I cannot wait to see it all up for display. Congratulations!!!

That's the best part!

The initial setup and organizing on the shelves!

I'm still reworking mine. Again.
