Coral Reef Fish

[brontodocus]

Wow, finally a Tridacna figure, and what a brilliant one!

[brontodocus]

The new Aquameridian figures are a feast for the eyes, as detailed and beautiful as the best similar sized Japanese gashapon figures. All figures come with the same 37*37 mm base with LED lighting and for each individual figures there are three different adhesive labels with the vernacular name (either in English, Japanese, or Chinese) and the scientific name. This is a walk-around of the Part 1 Humphead Wrasse or Napoleon Fish, Cheilinus undulatus Rüppell, 1835. This species is the largest known member of the Labridae or wrasses, attaining up to 2.29 m total length (TL, i.e.: including the caudal fin). Due to overfishing it has been listed "Endangered" by IUCN. The length of the adult figure is approx. 61 mm standard length (SL, i.e. without caudal fin) and approx. 72 mm total length (TL), so the scale for the adult would be between 1:9 and 1:37. The human figures are approx. 1:32 - 1:35 scale (diver from Safari Ltd Coral Reef Toob) and 1:35 scale (paleontologist from the Tamiya Dinosaur Diorama series). The juvenile figure is 19 mm SL and 23 mm TL, respectively.

  Wow, it's beautiful! I love the paintjob and the scale.

What a great series !

Hooray for another beautiful humphead wrasse! 

[brontodocus]

Many thanks, Helge & The Mandarin! I've just checked my totally ridiculous waste of time of an Excel table - it's funny that the Kitan Club / Nature Techni Colour Ocean 1 Humphead Wrasse (which has a similarly detailed paint job) is exactly the same length at 72 mm!

Walk-around of the clown triggerfish from the 'Incredible Creatures' line by Safari Ltd. It is 13cm long, a nice size for a bath toy This was one of the prizes provided by Safari Ltd (via Brontodocus) for the diorama contest in 2013. I took photos before I sent it off to the winner.







Available from Amazon.com here.

a lovely piece, goes nicely with the queen triggerfish and other similar scaled marine life from the Incredible Creatures line

[Jetoar]

Really beautiful figure  .

[bmathison1972]

I am an entomologist, and never been big into Ichthyology, but there is something inherently beautiful about fish figurines! 

[widukind]

Congratulations! I like coral fish figurines 

[Battatitan]

Great figure Dr Admin, thanks I'm guessing from your pictures it stands and balances by itself?

[stargatedalek]

nope, it falls over on its side if not supported

[brontodocus]

Great figure like most IC figures. And not too big, too (I know some collectors have problems with the Incredible Creatures line because some figures are so huge).

....... compared to Kaiyodo's Enoshima Aquarium figure:

[brontodocus]

Wow, there are some other nice Lionfish figures by Japanese companese companies but this one is awesome, especially those long, translucent pectorals!

Edit: Wow, it seems I invented a new language. Companese. Ouch.

[Jetoar]

Really impresive  .
