Recent acquisitions

@Brontodocus, Thanks for the heads up
I started touching it up last night and well at this point I've practically repainted the whole head, to bad the scales don't match but oh well.

@Bmathison1972, The ant lion sculpture looks very nice.

Lovely Ant Lion  .

Finally I've got some 2015 releases by Safari Ltd and Science and Nature!

[bmathison1972]

Nice, a kakapo!!!! Is this the only other figure other than a Yowie (not sure if there is a Yowie version but I assume there must be lol)

Thanks, Blaine! While I don't know if a Yowies figure of a Kakapo exists, Furuta made one as part of their ChocoEgg "Funny Animals Series 7". I have that one, too:

[brontodocus]

Congrats, sauroid! Are the fins of the clown triggerfish partially translucent? Cool. The octopus is misidentified by Kaiyodo CapsuleQ Museum, it's actually a Blue-lined Octopus, Hapalochlaena fasciata. I believe the "green iguana" is actually cast from some other lizard. As far as I know the figure does not have the "pearl", the enlarged scale on the cheek typical for Iguana iguana. I wonder if this wasn't cast from Physignathus cocincinus or a similar species, instead. The Colorata Zebra Shark is nice. I should get me the entire box, eventually.

The Colorata Zebra Shark is nice. I should get me the entire box, eventually.

The Zebra Shark comes from the long-retired Ocean Kingdom box; many of the species - in fact, I believe all of them except the Zebra Shark & Humpback Whale - wound up being re-released in the Sharks of the World and Marine Mammals of the World boxes, repectively, albeit with different sculpts. If you can find it, the Ocean Kingdom Beluga Whale is particularly nice; far superior to the MMOTW figure, imo.

Aw, you're right, Chad, my bad... I thought it was part of their Sharks of the World box (which I don't have). But it isn't.

thanks and yes Dr. Andre, the fins of the triggerfish are translucent. the "iguana" might have been cast from a common agamid species. i have most of the rest of the discontinued Colorata sharks. i will post pics asap.
(btw, is sphyrna18 also Chad from DTF?)

I also wondered if the 'iguana' was actually molded from an agamid...

[sphyrna18]

Nope, sorry. I mostly just lurk on DTF, as I don't have anywhere near the level of knowledge about prehistoric life or as extensive a prehistoric collection as I do modern/extant fauna.  So I mostly just soak it up over on DTF...

[bmathison1972]

nice 'bugs'; does the dragonfly have a magnet? If so, it might be the Rement Figure, although it also looks (at this resolution) like the original Kaiyodo Choco Q Animatales one.
The caterpillar is interesting, looks like a papilionid larva with a sphingid spine

Colorata River life box set

That River Box set is a great one--you obviously got the original set, with the amphibians and less finny fishes. Did you get the booklet as well? It's almost strange if you did--almost no English, and far less involved than the current ones.

[sauroid]

yes i did


"does the dragonfly have a magnet? If so, it might be the Rement Figure, although it also looks (at this resolution) like the original Kaiyodo Choco Q Animatales one."
yes it's the Kaiyodo animatales great dragonfly (Anogaster sieboldii) S3B. thanks.

[brontodocus]

Congrats, sauroid! The retired Colorata River Life box is phantastic! Sadly, I only have the salamander from that box.

[Jetoar]
