[JimoAi]

Starting a new thread for my collection her called the coral atoll! Showing off my marine life for now since in uncomfortable showing my terrestrial shelf considering I haven't got my botm tyrannosaurus yet







And as a treat my SpongeBob SquarePants shelf!

I'm surprised by some of your choices given your are "concius of scales"!

Most are due to lack of alternatives or the alternatives are unsatisfactory!

[SerAndrew]

Then same as everybody else

What's the small ammonite in the third photo?

What's the small ammonite in the third photo?

It's by Takara Tomy. The species is unknown probably just a generic ammonite. It comes with a small articulated mosasaurus.


Also, my BOTM tyrannosaurus shipped today!

Splendid shelves for a marine life specialist
What is the flatfish that lies aside to the Colorata spiny gurnard?

Thanks! What to do esp when there's no figures of actual sea sponges too! I'm jealous of your prehistoric collection too!

[Isidro]

Thanks! So, it's part of the same set that includes the alfonsino, pollock and hairtail I have in my wishlist!

[JimoAi]

Also terrible timing since I've swapped out some figures last minute

[JimoAi]

Did alot of renovations to my shelf including removing some and separating extinct from extant. Collection update is inbound soon!

[Isidro]

Will be great to see! 

[JimoAi]

Will be great to see! 

Can't wait to see what u add too! I've always love reading your walk through a of figures!

[JimoAi]

Here's the updated collection!

The non animals here as a bonus

[Gwangi]

Looks great! All quality pieces. Who makes that manatee that's hanging out with those freshwater fishes? Also, who makes that tiger shark and your blue whale?

[Isidro]

Very delightful update! You have loads of wonderful figurines!

Here a couple questions:

What model did you choose for the many available ones for Komodo dragon? This one looks like very decent both in size and sculpt for me. I wanted the Safari LTD Venomous Creatures TOOB for my collection but this one seems equally good.

And by its side is a GOLIATH FROG??? I didn't knew figures of this species existed!!! What is the brand and the size?

Many familiar ones for me :-) At right of the Colorata sturgeon there is... an huchen salmon (Hucho hucho)? I only know one decent figure of it, a polyresin Kaiyodo Aquatales very difficult to find and with a quite evident seam in middle of body that made me discard it for my collection. It's your the same or another?
(And Gwangi, the manatee is the CollectA one. I personally prefair the Papo and the latest Schleich one)

Is the manta ray a repaint or an Kaiyodo Aquatales polyresin one? I never found a manta ray figurine with satisfactory paintjob except for the mentioned Aquatales one, that is the one in my wishlist...

The blue whale is the Papo, right? I also want it, despite movable jaw, because it's much bigger than other brands blue whales and bigger than other species whale figurines too, so is what I would need sizewise for a blue whale :-)
