Thanks! Still one of my favourite of all Colorata figures! Oh, the "Salthingyer" thing - I believe that was just on DTF v.1, I'm not 100% sure but I think that such an automatic filter doesn't exist on DTF v.2 either.

Wow - that's a nice Flying Fish !
This time the translucent Invicta stand looks like it's made for this figure ... looks as it had exactly the same colour as the wing-like fins.

Nice catch, Brontodocus  
_sorry...

What an undeniably cute figure (and one that's realistic and detailed, too  )

I agree, the Invicta stand looks really nice and displays the figure well (probably due to matching those spectacular [translucent?  ] fins). 

[Jetoar]

Very wonderful and amazing figure. One of the best figure of this year of Safari. Thanks friend for sharing  .

[AnimalToyForum]

A truly incredible creature 

[Varanus]

Wow!  Amazing figure and great review!

[brontodocus]

Thanks all! Yes, the pectorals and pelvics are indeed translucent - and they are quite rigid, too (I have the AAA Flying Fish which is nice but the floppy fins of that one somehow devalue it a little)! The figure wasn't easily placed on the Invicta stand and fell down quite often...
