Miscellaneous Japanese/Chinese - New for 2024

[Alopias superciliosus]

Looks like a fun little collection! Sad no unique sculpts but a nice variety of species!

Does anyone know from experience how long it is from announcement until a line shows up in gachapon machines? I'll be in Tokyo for a trip in early March, it would be cool if they were available by then.

For this thread, unless otherwise indicated, assume they are available now.

most come out shortly after release but some take a few months, notably Bandai, Ikimon or takara tomy

[Alopias superciliosus]

Thanks, glad that it seems likely they are already available/soon to be! I'll definitely have a look for them while I'm over there!

@sbell - do you know the Latin names of the other/all species? 

I'm very late to this, looks like id's are covered!

I've ordered, but I won't have them for a while!

Maybe 'E' is Echidna xanthospilos?

Another name for this one is Skeletor eel!

I've seen them at the Georgia Aquarium

Indeed!

Me too. Look forward to displaying some of them in those little pots (but I probably won't use the pipes).

Matagi (traditional winter hunters of the Tōhoku region of northern Japan) by Tama-Kyu. I wonder if this is follow-up to the Evolution of Humanity Set?

[bmathison1972]

Snake Ring by Stasto.

They are designed to be rings, but can probably be put onto branches, etc. Any idea of the species? I assume the brown and leucistic ones are ball pythons (?). But what about the red and black one?

[BlueKrono]

They look like pretty generic "snake". I agree the brown resembles a ball python and the lower left corner reminds me of an albino corn. I'm sure they're all the same mold though.

Drunk Kong by Tarlin.

I normally don't post such anthropomorphized figures, but the gorillas might appeal to someone!

Reach out to @brettnj if interested!
