oh! The armadillo girdled lizard goes on my wishlist for sure, and the ball python looks to be the best current model, replacing the large and albino bullyland on my wishlist!
Always looking for new species...

Some reptiles and amphibians in the Tenori line. These are larger than typical gashapon figures and essentially fill the palm of one's hand:

That axolotl looks familiar. Did the same one come out in a set a year or two ago?
I like turtles.

I feel like a couple of those look slightly familiar including axolotl, wouldn't be surprised

The axolotyl and Leopard gecko are new colours of old molds I believe. That or direct re-releases.

Ah I've found it, those two in particular look almost identical to Bandai's 2022 releases.
I knew I'd seen those smug little faces...   :))

A couple upcoming releases.

First, a set of Premium migratory locusts. The website says these were due in late May 2023, but I don't think they ever released, so I have no ETA
@sphyrna18




Next is a set of Japanese tree frogs (all the same species); ETA July 2023:

All of these reveals look great, but that crab - WOW, that is something else.
Do we know what the crab will sell for? The Premium website is a nuisance to go through. Obviously it won't come cheap...

Don't remember if cost was listed but the size I think said 20 cm

Since I have an official Bandai store about 20 mins from where I live plus a pop up an hour away from me, safe to say I'll get the new releases quite early and at times I may even get them even though I have no desire to get them in the first place for simply being that nice but it's not nice for my wallet ;D .

Anyways, just tried the latest salamander set and I'll show what I got soon and I just want to say, the articulation is very solid on these Bandai releases, more so than Takara Tomy.

Anyways since they focus alot on insects and reptiles, I would like to see more sharks from them like a set 2, maybe articulated sharks or maybe even a premium Great white shark, similar to their Nile crocodile. The sky is the limit for Bandai for this line

got one of the giant salamander and may I ask if it works well as a Koolasuchus because of the weird proportions? asking fellow DTB members @Halichoeres @Gwangi for help. Thank you very much
