It's not the Kayiodo Mega Sofubi Advanced blue whale? I tought you talked about buying it some weeks ago, but that you can't find the model for sale anywhere.

@brettnj just mentioned in his email list that someone won the Mega Sofubi blue whale for a good price! Can't help to think that was you @JimoAi ;-)

Since coming back from Southeast Asia I've decided to expand my collection into mammals. I decided that I want to have a small subset of my collection to be a display of Southeast Asian fauna, so here's my first round of additions:



Going for a specifically Vietnamese collection but I understand that both animal ranges and national borders shift over time so I'm not being a stickler. But I did manage to find a holy-grail species that's also culturally one of the most important species to Vietnam: Rafetus swinhoei

My girlfriend commissioned it from DeClay Studio, a Vietnam-based 3D printing outfit that usually does dinosaurs but takes commissions. Here it is, in primed but unpainted form:





I'll make a customs thread to show y'all once I've painted it.

@MudpupWaterdog your post has persuaded me more to get the moon bear. I've been holding off for so long.

[MudpupWaterdog]

@EpicRaptorMan Having been around the real bears I'm impressed with the figure, plus I believe it's retired as of this year so now's the time to grab one.

[EpicRaptorMan]

@MudpupWaterdog I'm just more of a scale conscious collector plus the figure itself seems to have a rather long gait.

[JimoAi]

Got this finless porpoise that's too mysterious not to show. ps: not revealing the mystery figure yet

[Isidro]

that's the CBIOV one, right?

[EpicRaptorMan]

ugh I've been looking for the male CBIOV Finless porpoise for some time now.

[JimoAi]

I'm not sure if it's a recast or just a repaint but all i know it's sold under the Nanjing finless porpoise conservattion

[sbell]

Small Japanese mail call!

Series two of the toy spirits eels, and the Bandai lancetfish!



With a modified 3d printed stand for the eels. Easiest way to display them

[bmathison1972]

Great way to display the eels. I have a couple of mine in the little pots, but not the pipes. Those that came with pipes are just displayed as-is.
