Miscellaneous Japanese/Chinese - New for 2023

[bmathison1972]

This thread will be for Japanese/Asian companies other than 1) Kaiyodo, 2) Bandai/Bandai Spirits, 3) Takara Tomy A.R.T.S., 4) Ikimon/Kitan Club; those four are large and prolific enough to get their own thread.

[Avian]

Anyone able to translate those names? The only recognizable species are the Nasutoceratops, Ouranosaurus, Hatzegopteryx (?), Guanlong (?), Deinocheirus, and Concavenator.

[NSD Bashe]

I'm guessing the other ceratopsian (with the tassel looking frill) is kosmoceratops

[NSD Bashe]

The ankylosaurid might be a gastonia or sauropelta?  Maybe the maroon colored one with the eggs could be maiasaura...

I am going to try to have all posts added to the first post as well this year!

[bmathison1972]

A Study Room by Re-Ment; one of the components comes with a dog:

[bmathison1972]

The second set of Yell's 'Crabs on Cable' figures.

They are designed to attach to cords and cables, etc. Fairly stylized but it looks like two more color variants of the Japanese freshwater crab (Geothelphusa dehanni), a blue swimming crab (Portunus trituberculatus? P. pelagicus), a box crab (Calappa sp.; C. lophos?), and a red swamp crayfish (Procambrus clarkii). My identifications are based on the prevalence of these species already produced by Japanese companies.

[MudpupWaterdog]

I normally don't go in for "cute" figures but I may have to make an exception for these crustaceans...they'd be adorable office accessories for sure

[bmathison1972]

Some 1:1 lizards by SO-TA. I am not up on all of their 1:1 reptiles to know if there are any new species here or not; @Beetle guy might know; I am pretty sure they are just color variants of last year's knob-tailed gecko and armadillo lizards.

[stargatedalek]

Definitely repaints, but unsure if they are the same or similar species.

New by Tarlin:

[bmathison1972]

'New' for Toys Spirits; simply a re-release of last year's set but with different-colored nests:

[bmathison1972]

Some cats by Tarlin. Looks like flat acrylic figures on a base. Can't tell if the front of the cat is depicted on the other side or not

[NSD Bashe]

There's something distinctly catlike about only getting a shot of the back

[bmathison1972]
