New in the Diversity series: Bearded Dragons and Leopard Geckos



Isidro

These googly eyes on bearded dragons totally kills the figurines  :o

Fembrogon

They're pretty cute, although obviously stylized. I'd be curious to see a full-sized "Advanced"-style beardie in the line (provided it didn't cost $100+).

Not even the viper dogfish? Is that one unique? It is the only one new for me, so I'll get it!

@SerAndrew - go to the link above for an 'in-hand' pic of the great white. Larger than traditional gashapon, smaller than 'standard-sized' figures by Western companies

Those frogs look awfully similar to some that came out late last year. Aren't they the same?
I like turtles.
