 Wonderful acquisitions friends. I have had gifts previously that today but thes are my gifts of Three Mages Kings   .

It's also a figure that's included in quite a few different sets, even the Agatsuma Entertainment set had a Tsuchinoko in it. Isn't yours the figure that comes in at least three different colours, too? But all the others are great!

On Saturday I received a parcel from Japan. So now I've got the T-A.R.T.S microbes, too! On the other hand - I've found a Kitan Club set with horned frogs, only to find out upon arrival that it's a set of eight mini purses with a horned frog printed on it...


Oh, Jetoar, my son has the Playmobil Mammoth Cave, too!

Bwahahahaha. Sorry couldnt resist. That's really funny.

Well, about two or three years ago I had a similar situation when I bought an insect set by Yujin which was not all that expensive (still like $20 or so plus shipping), at least that's what I thought before I found out that it's a set of insect stickers!

At least I wanted to share it here before someone else buys that set, too. Unless she or he actually needs eight small purses with horned frogs printed on them. Okay, if you don't like horned frogs why not glue some Yujin insect stickers over them?

Thanks Friend, I am archaeologist and now I am learning to be a zooarquelogist and it is one item that I could not miss  .

[brontodocus]

It's also a Playmobil set with great playability. My favourite feature is that the fishes can actually be picked up from the pond with those bifurcated spears.

Today I received a parcel directly from Safari Ltd who sent me three of the new 2014 figures:


So now it's certain for me, the Thresher Shark is definitely representing Alopias pelagicus which is probably the first time ever being represented as a figure!

Oh, the Snub-nosed Monkeys are cute! They look also quite PVish.

At least it's a figure rarely represented in figure form. I have one - Furuta Choco Egg Funny Animals Series 6:


And there must be a Kaiyodo Zoorasia version, too, a Snub-nosed Monkey on one side of a "glass" screen and a girl on the other. I've seen photos via a Google image search but all image links I found didn't seem to work well, so I can't provide a picture at this time.

Is that supposed to be a chipmunk? Because I'm having a hard time believing that the sculptor even looked at a picture of one. More like they heard 'sort of a squirrel' and gave it a big, bushy tail. But then, I find many of Schleich's attempts to make non-European small mammals to be kind of odd (see their versions of raccoons to see how badly off the mark they can be). Which is too bad, since a good chipmunk would be nice (the Kaiyodo Animaltales one is still the best though).

Toba Aquarium leatherback turtle



Purchased on eBay via forum member Blackdanter.

I want to make a walkaround of this model, but I don't know what company it should be listed under. Any ideas? There are no trademarks.

Probably just miscellaneous until they finally give us a Misc Japanese category--I have the original Toba set, and I also have no idea who actually made it (it isn't any of the usual companies as far as I know).
