Recent acquisitions

[bmathison1972]

Some recent finds.

First of all, 7 figures from the 'Animals with Superpowers' collection by Yowie Group (the sunflower sea star is en route):

brown sea cucumber, Isostichopus fuscus
Chinhai spotted newt, Echinotriton chinhaiensis
hooded pitohui, Pitohui dichrous
mutable rain frog, Pristimantis mutabilis
pygmy blue-tongued lizard, Tiliqua adalaidensis
ruby-eyed green pit viperTrimeresurus rubeus
southern bent-winged bat, Miniopterus oriaenae bassanii




On eBay a dealer was selling several of the K&M International Frogs Nature Tube figures, so I bought the American green tree frog (Dryophytes cinereus) and the tomato frog, (Dyscophus antongilii). K&M frogs are not marketed at the species level, so I chose the tomato frog to represent D. antongilii as I have the Colorata figure which was specifically sold as D. guineti.

Ight have been really busy as of late die to me having a high chance of failing some modules and I don't have time to show off my haul as of late since July. But these guys came in the mail today

Am considering that phenomenal whale shark myself for a while now.... but where to put the recent animal collection now?!

Those Yowie bird, frog and Blue Tongue are so nice too

[bmathison1972]

I am patiently (or maybe not-so patiently) awaiting MiniZoo to get the rest of the 2021 CollectA figures in so I can get that Xiphactinus (among other things)!

That's a basking shark

[Lanthanotus]

Yeah, sorry, in fact, no white spots and those enormous gills (next to other features)....right the thing I had in mind, but the wrong name came to mind.

Just got three more of the newest Yowies - transcontinental acquisitions with @Gwangi LOL

blue ornamental (peacock) tarantula, Poecilotheria metallica [my next blogpost]
sunflower sea star, Pycnopodia helianthoides
black-flanked rock wallaby, Petrogale lateralis

Just need two: bumblebee and lyrebird

[Gwangi]

I can't believe that's the same three I also acquired today.

Got the PNSO Heliocoprion today! There are good pics of it above, so I am going to be lazy and not take a pic of mine. But I got it! LOL

I find the inability to find Yowies where I live really annoying. At minimum I need the newt and hyena. But eBay sellers are charging outrageous amounts for them, and the postage is even worse.

[bmathison1972]

If I had extra of either @sbell I'd sell them to you cheap. I didn't get an extra newt and I never got a hyena.

No worries. Maybe eventually!

  stuff I got from mid July til now excluding non animal models like pokemon or pixar figures. Am really impressed by them but kinda disappointed at the Kitan club rays. The pelvic fin arrangement look worse in person IMO :/

Not surprised; they looked pretty stylized in the promotional pics. Still hope you review them for the Blog; would be a fun and quirky set

Could do that in the near future

@JimoAi
Is that a six-gilled shark on the edge of that shelf?
