done!

Thanks! Sadly, I've made a disappointing discovery about the accuracy of this ferociously fanged fish, but I'll save it for the review.

@suspsy - do we think it's the same species as the Safari Deep Sea TOOB figure? If you'd rather save that for the Blog review, no worries :)
Assuming so, I'll keep the Safari TOOB figure as it's a better size for my liking.

My research indicates that it is NOT the same species as the one from the TOOB.

Interesting; look forward to your analysis. Still too big for me :-D

I just ordered the 2021 Bullyland blue-ringed octopus and have reserved it; probably won't show up for 2-3 weeks however.

Mybest friend is visiting this weekend so my Blog/Forum activity will be minimal Friday and Saturday; any guest reviews might have a slight delay in posting.

I was able to acquire the Safari spotted dolphin, I think I would like to review it.

I was working on my review for the Safari white-sided dolphin and that got me looking at dolphin figures on Toy Animal Wiki. That in turn got me browsing eBay and just like that I had the spotted dolphin for $8. Right time and place.

I just submitted my Safari lemur review. :)

I just got some CollectA horse reviews today from George of Harecraft Horses (https://harecrofthorses.blogspot.com/). I will put these on the first post to reserve them. This could give our Blog a great chance to get regular horse reviews, which would be great since they are such a major component of our hobby!

Found some CollectA figures for sale at a county fair of all places. I picked some up with intent to review them. I don't think any of them have reviews yet. Should
keep me busy for a while.

I updated the first post. I have the red squirrel and common zebra. 2018 is when I started the non-arthropod part of my collection, and I almost got the sow but eventually decided on a different model

I already have the Safari Berkshire pig but I'm treating pigs like cattle and collecting different breeds, though not as seriously as with the cattle.

Haha, the Hampshire is on my list. My holy grail of pigs is the Schleich potbelly.

Hey everyone, I've been radio-silent for a while, but I'm currently less busy than I used to be. I want to finally get some of my reviews out of the way.

I looked at the calendar and didn't noticed any reserved spots at the moment. May I reserve the 24th for my CollectA Green iguana review?
