previously mentioned, just released. Don't let the 'mini' fool you; these are 1:1 so they'll still be big

More tortoises in the Diversity of Life on Earth series:

New 1:1 seadragons:

Does anyone know where I can find the yellow one? I pre-ordered the blue one, but the yellow was sold out on the two sites that I could find (BigBadToyStore and Toysdachi).

@TheOwl98 - ask @brettnj - he or his contacts in Japan may have a lead

Hey Blaine, Owl.

I saw this and asked my source and he said he can pre-order for around 9000 yen.

Please PM if interested.

Thanks.

New fish set! I think @sbell and @Gwangi might find them of interest.

I think you're right. I think I'll need that.

@brettnj any word on it?

[bmathison1972]

Here are pics (2x Asian arowana, coelacanth, frilled shark, alligator gar):

I think it releases next week.

Man I wish they'd make a larger scale alligator gar,and paddlefish too.

Sorry I don't have time to edit and crop out images at the moment

[bmathison1972]

And more flying beetles in December 2022, in 'large' and 'medium' sizes. Nothing new for me here, so I won't be getting any of these

Hey.

Don't 100% hold me to this because there might be translation issues but my new figure source tells me that as of November 1, he is no longer able to sell Bandai products due to new company restrictions. When my main source checked Rakuten for a just released set, he found none offered there.

So, if anyone is having difficulty finding new Bandai releases--particularly gashapons--at'd be the reason.

Of course we can get them for anyone losing a regular source.

Please PM with interest or if interested in learning how we work.

Thanks.
Brett

Expected December 2022, Diversity of Life on Earth - Caterpillars Vol. 2

line-up:

1. great purple emperor, Sasakia charonda
2. lobster moth, Stauropus fagi
3. Chinese peacock, Papilio bianor
4. Asian swallowtail, P. xuthus

Sasakia charonda has been made 5-10 times, including a larva by Kaiyodo. Stauropus fagi has been made once, also a larva by Kaiyodo. Papilio bianor has been made twice as adults, but I think this is the first larva. Papilio xuthus has been made several times, including multiple larva (including one in Volume 1 of this series).

For now, I see myself getting 1-3

[bmathison1972]

New from Bandai. I believe these are larger; more 'Incredible Creatures' sized rather than 'gashapon' sized, but not sure
