Recent acquisitions

Nice improvement on the Mudpuppy! It's too bad Safari didn't just release that one (and the glow salamander) as normal-painted figures.

Glad you like the fish as well! It's a great little line, I'm hoping he evolves it in some interesting ways soon!

I wonder if it might be because the originals were exclusives (or am I wrong?) that they aren't allowed to.

They really are great, I think some small tropical freshwater fish would be a natural progression. Every third line has an arowana and a ceolocanth but not many have tetras or peacock bass.

To be fair--every third line is Japanese (and every second, and every first, minus a couple of Safari coelacanths!). but there is some hope that different fish will show up, but it's very preliminary.

Ha-ha, true indeed!

Wasn't expecting to be posting new things again this soon but in the mail today came Uzuki Shimamura from iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls and CollectA Gallus gallus domesticus.

[NightLioness]

She looks cute! Big congrats ^.^

I got back from Chicago today, got the Safari Brachiosaurus, Safari FM exclusive Torosaurus and Anatotitan from the Field Museum, but the main reason I went to Chicago was for Godzilla Fest! I got three Ghidorah figures(Ghidorah is my favorite Kaiju), the Neca 1994 Godzilla, and the Basilisk from Harry Potter.

[NightLioness]

I must say that the basilisk from HP is my fave out of them all! Never saw such a figure like this from the HP series.
Congrats!

Congrats!

The people selling it at Godzilla Fest didn't know what it was, so they were selling it for $5 as "snake". I knew what it was, and bought it. When I looked it up later I found out how rare the figure is! I put new batteries in it yesterday to see what it sounded like... and the eyes flash green and red, and it makes the most terrifying roar I've ever heard... For the figures age, the sounds are still really loud!

Additions like that are fantastic! Most of the time I correct people in this hobby if they mislabel a animal or such, in a nice way of course
But if they don't know what they are selling (people who are not familiar with this hobby)... well, then I am very lucky and keep my mouth shut  
Most of the time this occurs at flea markets and such XD
Nice! It still works! Big congrats again

New additions to my Cetacean collection:

Maia & Borges Minke whale and common Dolphins

[stargatedalek]

I got very lucky at Value Village the other day, I found a Smithsonian Dragonfly! At first I thought it was the Hidden Kingdom dragonfly so that was a pleasant surprise. My shelf of large terrestrial inverts is quickly expanding. The tip of the tail is worn down but other than that great condition.




A few months ago my IC Bald Eagle got damaged and I finally got another one, but I must say I'm very disappointed with the paint app and warping.

[bmathison1972]

Oh wow, the dragonfly is only one of two I am missing (the other being the adult monarch).

[stargatedalek]

If you're interested in one with a worn down tail PM me.




I was so fond of my 1:1 goose I decided to finish the family with the higher end model.

CollectA invasion
Finally got the new CollectA figures. I tell you, they are simply amazing! Can't appreciate enough how CollectA keeps on releasing animals that are unique and obscure. Choosing a favorite is hard since they are all beautiful, but if I had to, it will be the Hirola and Tylacine.

All together now

Congrats for yours acquisitions  .

[AcroSauroTaurus]

Must have Beaked Whale...

[sbell]

I haven't really had much to put up for a while.

I did, however, recently receive a few new ones from Japan, courtesy of Brett!



Three plecos from Epoch (gold dust, albino and red-eye panaque); I actually ended up wtih two gold-dust plecos.

And, the Lepidotes that was included with the Dino Expo 2016 Real Spinosaurus. Didn't get the dinosaur, happy to have the fish!

I also recently got the Schleich Dunkleosteus. I still like the Safari better, but it's pretty good.



EDIT--I think I got the photos to work now... They weren't working before, but I thought they were!

I was curious if you'd get the Plecos. I got the three bee shrimp that completed the set. Quite small and simple, much smaller than I had anticipated.
