Bowhead Whale (Kaiyodo - Red Data Animals)

[brontodocus]

My favourite whale and next to the Goliath Frog my favourite figure from the Kaiyodo Red Data Animals: The Bowhead Whale, Balaena mysticetus Linnaeus, 1758. Total  length is 87 mm, scale approx. 1:140 - 1:230.

Looks like they made the upper jaw appropriately narrow, something I think a lot of other companies miss.

Amazing figure, in Spain the name of this animal is Greenlad whale "Ballena de Groenlandia".

Thanks, Varanus, Jetoar & Ana!

Exactly, and there are so few good balaenids made... The only other Balaena mysticetus figure I know is from Play Visions but it has an upper jaw that is much too wide... Maybe Maia & Borges should make one, their 2012 Right Whale is excellent!

Amazing figure, in Spain the name of this animal is Greenlad whale "Ballena de Groenlandia".

Similarly in German it's "Grönlandwal" with the same meaning.

Thanks, sauroid, it's perfectly fine! And it's still one of my favourites, too, even after this year's Safari Ltd and CollectA releases.
