All right except the second one. Alr have the kaiyodo anhangeura. Maybe try the others too

Got a package from Japan. Not the most exciting but certainly a unique bunch. Got another Japan package from @brettnj soon as well as a few more here and there

Is that lobster a Linuparus trigonus? Exciting one!

I guess? Maybe @bmathison1972 will know. I'm a fish expert, not an arthropod

The tail underneath seems unfinished tho

Thanks Blaine, I cheek every of your Museum posts, but I forget things easily I wish a much smaller version of same figure were produced

Safari Ltd Cougar and American Alligator came in.

I already knew the gator was too large for my preferences but the cougar, too, as it is now the largest cat by far in my collection. One of the cougar's eyes is mispainted as well and it appears to have a lazy eye

the cougar is too big? Did you inadvertently buy the Wildlife Wonders version?

[EpicRaptorMan]

no. It's just rather large. Dwarfing my lions and bears. It's about the size of my cape buffalo or bison

oh ok. I don't recall it being that big; most of my big cats are by Safari or Papo

[JimoAi]

  a mix bag of a haul: on one hand, the safari ltd figures and the upscaled Colorata Cameroceras are great but on the other hand, the large rays and Megalodon @sbell avoid these...Just no for me. Won't be buying those sus oenux figures for a long time. And the reason why my mood dragged Abit for this: just like Dino Scream, my quetzal had 2 missing digits but at least it has the unpainted ver which I'll be repainting soon.

[SerAndrew]

Is that PNSO Megalodon?

Is that PNSO Megalodon?

A bootleg combination of the new and old one

[Isidro]

That toob komodo dragon is in my wishlist. The yellow-bellied sea snake would be a great addition for me too, if was not by the disproportionated head

The toob sea snake is way to big like 1:8 scale

[bmathison1972]

A plethora of Papo came in, finishing 2021 and the first from 2022.

I had three orders from the same German eBay dealer, over a month's period, but all three packages came in within a few days of each other LOL.

European lobster, Homarus gammarus
common hermit crab, Pagurus bernhardus (STS forum member ID, but I concur
tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon (my ID)
brown-lipped snail, Cepaea nemoralis
clouded yellow, Colias croceus
Old World swallowtail, Papilio machaon
black garden ant, Lasius niger (my ID)
Camargue bill

I already reviewed the lobster on the Blog. Over the next few weeks, I'll cover the clouded yellow, snail, and swallowtail (along with its larva that I received earlier in 2021). After all that, if not reviewed or claimed, I will probably do the ant.

[Isidro]

Nice bunch of new Papos, I'm glad that you swallowtail have not displaced the painting on right forewing, as happened to other collectors.

It does, but not as bad as seen on Megaptera's (STS)
