That is a cool bushbaby.

Those shark tape measures sort of remind me of a shark grabber stick I used to have..

[endogenylove]

What a cool bushbaby! I have the action products model (an extremely lucky flea market find by some friends of mine) but certainly if I didn't I would be getting this one! To be honest I like this one better but I will probably retain the action products one instead just due to rarity.

The 2023 version of Friends of the Water (old sculpts, new paint):

the giant salamander looks to be an improvement interms of the colour scheme though it makes me wish they could've gone with at least one new sculpt, maybe a ghost crab or a mudskipper to keep in the theme of waterside

Stretching animals; I normally don't post anthropomorphized figures, but for some of these species these are plausible poses

found off a Chinese shopping site, Taobao. Looks like the articulated sharks gashapon is returning for wave 3, this time with a new set of remoras and a Sand tiger shark that is a perfect size for my collection! Due for a September release!

[bmathison1972]

I'll wait for better pics, but I might be interested in the remoras!

[JimoAi]

I assume there's wires in the octopus' arms?

[BlueKrono]

I assume there's wires in the octopus' arms?

Don't know why you'd assume that. In a Takara Tomy toy I would assume there isn't.

[Fembrogon]

The tardigrade set looks very cool. Any guesses on if they represent a particular species?

@Fembrogon - they all appear the be the same species and represent the familiar Macrobiotus sapiens

[bmathison1972]

B.I.G. Insects, 2023. nothing new for me

Stretching animals; I normally don't post anthropomorphized figures, but for some of these species these are plausible poses

I like how the corgi has tail its enact rather than docked, not a fan of docking and depictions of corgis with tails are scarce
