This is a walk around for the AAA "Lizard".

At just over 30 cm in total length, it appears to be cast from a specimen of the genus Calotes, or possibly Dendragama.  It's difficult to say what species it is exactly, its coloration most closely matches the Forest Crested Lizard C. emma, which is also about the right size, but AAA replicas are often incorrectly colored.  However, C. emma should have a pair of small spines above the eyes as well as larger spines down the back.  Taking this and the geographic distribution of various species into account, the most likely suspect is the common Garden Lizard, C. versicolor, although the color only somewhat resembles that of a female.  The genus Dendragama is very similar to Calotes, and as such this specimen may actually be D. boulengeri, Boulenger's Tree Lizard, which is also a fair match for color and scale pattern.

Interesting, but it looks pretty emaciated (sadly a common theme among AAA cast reptiles :()

They came flying from far away, now I'm under their spell....

Nice figure, Varanus! 8) Calotes versicolor seems a good suggestion (also because of its commonness). For a Calotes it doesn't look that emaciated, by the way, they often have quite gracile legs.

Yeah, it was over weight so I had to put it on a diet, but then things went too far. ::) ;)

Which also makes sense because it's common in the pet trade, like most of AAA's other lizards. :)

I'm not very keen on this figure, maybe it is the paint job or the casting was done poorly, but I think this is one I'll skip over for my AAA collection :)

Walk-around of the adorable, tiny Yujin Lizard Pictorial Book Jackson's Chameleon Baby Trioceros jacksonii (Boulenger, 1896). Total length is 62 mm, snout-vent length 30 mm, so the scale would be approx. 0.7 upward.

Cool and tiny figure.  I like that you have use a metre behind the figure  ^-^.
