I think this is a 2018 release. The first of its Kind. A American Porcupine made of PVC

[AnimalToyForum]

Such a weird texture.

Takama, thank you for doing a walkaround of this. This figure is so far more better than most critics on the forum gave it!

 I wish Safari did one in their North American line.

Beautiful models, excellent setup and pictures.
Thank you for sharing.

If these are in fact hazelnuts and not acorns, I would consider this to be a Townsend's Chipmunk from Oregon, the top hazelnut-producing state. What do you think? I would like this figure, by the way. Too bad it's discontinued.

hazlenuts are abundant in eastern North America, no reason to assume this is anything other than the eastern chipmunk.

I bought mine not too long ago from an eBay dealer in the US, so keep doing searches, you're bound to find one.

wow, and I thought the nuts on the CollectA Megacerops were big 

🐿😁

Honestly they should have painted the darker "caps" of the acorns. Adorable figure.

Maybe they're acorns that have lost the caps? That's kind of how they look when they come apart (we have an oak tree in our yard, so we see them like that a lot)

Papo 2024 porcupine. Clearly based on the genus Hystrix. Since I have the CollectA figure specifically advertised as the Indian crested porcupine, I am using this as the African crested porcupine. I waffled back and forth for a while between African crested and Cape porcupines, but realized the differences separating them cannot be appreciated in a figure like this, so I stuck with the former.

It's honestly A good figure. And I think I appreciate this posture more than CollectA's which is admittedly a harder pose to create for a toy.

[Isidro]

It's a quite good porcupine, and better than any other options available, for my taste. Any idea of the size?

Porcupines are inherently difficult to sculpt, no way around it. I like having two species, one in a defensive posture and one neutral. Adds for nice variety on the shelves!

I haven't done a deep analysis yet, the body minus the tail is about 5.8 cm for a scale of 1:10.3-1:14.3 based on metrics on Wikipedia.

THanks! 6 cm is a bit too much porcupine for me
