Here it is, the Dango Mushi box crab: http://animaltoyforum.com/blog/2020/05/25/red-streaked-box-crab-dango-mushi-06-by-bandai/

And how may I ask it has even got into someone's hands?! It is so beautiful and even its back has gorgeous colours

CollectA provide @suspsy with review samples for the Dinosaur Toy Blog, and now also for the Animal Toy Blog. Great news for our community as it means we get to see walk-arounds and reviews of the new figures in advance of their release.

My pleasure. Expect to see two more review samples over the coming weeks!

Wish I knew you had this 'in' as I would have been happy to review the centipede, black widow, and mini insects box.

I'd have mentioned it to CollectA if I'd known sooner, but I wouldn't feel right about requesting any further items from them, at least not this year. Between the pandemic and the ongoing political unrest, it's been a really rough year for them.

Nor would I ask this late in the game. I'd be happy if we dont have to wait too long for them...

Komodo dragons do seem to be popular, given this is number 4 and a lot more are planned for review.

Another 'ahead of print' review, the 2020 CollectA Komodo: http://animaltoyforum.com/blog/2020/05/29/komodo-dragon-wildlife-by-collecta/

yes, a lot of Komodos lately; don't review them all at once, save some for later LOL

Be surprised if there are any left to review! Is the Komodo the most common species on the blog now?

Technically the Komodo dragon is tied with the wolf, if you consider Canis lupus broadly (dingoes and domestic dogs)

For now.....

Honestly though, a great review. Good work @Saarlooswolfhound.

It's great. It's a familiar yet relatively underrepresented animal, plus our first mammal by AAA, so we added taxonomic and company diversity!

I transferred over the first walkaround by @postsaurischian (supplemented with minor text): http://animaltoyforum.com/blog/2020/06/04/green-sea-turtle-babies-another-aquarium-by-for-corporation/

Great! And thanks @postsaurischian for allowing your photos to be used on the ATB.
