Still plenty more to come. Not done with the nostalgia train yet.

No time to horse around, the blog is getting equid-able: http://animaltoyforum.com/blog/2020/07/17/quagga-prehistoric-by-mojo-fun/

[suspsy]

You know, it never occurred to me that that was going to be the very first equid on the blog. I'm frankly surprised that no one submitted a horse review a long time ago.

Me too @suspsy - given the volume of domestic horse figures out there, I was really hoping the blog would have a few by now!

I just transferred over another one of my walkarounds, the Schleich Mexican red-kneed tarantula: http://animaltoyforum.com/blog/2020/07/19/mexican-red-knee-tarantula-wildlife-by-schleich/

@stemturtle is continuing the PV lemur collection with their rendition of the aye-aye: http://animaltoyforum.com/blog/2020/07/20/aye-aye-lemurs-and-prosimians-by-play-visions/

[who would have thought the Blog would have two aye-aye reviews before the first domestic horse, cat, or pig!?!]

That is surprising. Has been low on the domestic animals in general.

I would have...most of us seem more wildlife oriented. Honestly, the very few domestic animals I have in my database usually belong to the kids...and even then, we don't have many.

Same here honestly. A few in the old toy box, but never grabbed me to get domestic breeds often. Got a few coming up for this, but won't be many.

For my Synoptic Collection I essentially have one representative of each domestic species, although I will probably collect multiple breeds of cattle

I might pick up other breeds of things if they 'grab me'.

That's from the DTB, right? @suspsy did you mail it across, cuz some of my DTB ones could go over.

@sirenia yes that is correct. You can 'migrate' over DTB posts that are appropriate for the ATB as well. That gray area of 'prehistoric' vs 'merely extinct' has been debated many times. Since we have two blogs, I would say anything extinct by 'modern man' would be fine (thylacine, dodo, quagga, Steller's sea cow, golden toad, etc.) but probably not things like moa, mammonths, woolly rhinos, saber-toothed cats, etc.

Given that moa were driven extinct during the 15th or 16th century, I'd think they'd work here.

The best guideline might be, is the figure appropriate for the Yowies Lost Kingdoms line or Yowies Forgotten Friends line!?

[bmathison1972]

Oh! I didn't know moa were so recent!
