On eBay US 2020 CollectA figures such as the Tyrol cow, sloth & komodo dragon are available https://www.ebay.com/itm/2020-New-Collecta-Animal-Toy-Figure-Komodo-Dragon/324235537134?hash=item4b7df1aaee:g:VrQAAOSw8Rte9-hL

I am always nervous about buying figures from Korea and other parts of Asia that have not been formally introduced on the open market yet. I'll wait for Happy Hen Toys or Minizoo before I get the remaining CollectA 2020 I want.

I have bought from that seller and can confirm they are selling legitimate items, but they also don't have particularly good prices. Definitely going to be waiting for Minizoo as well.

What's the fish in this bundle? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toy-Dinosaur-bundle-Over-40-dinosaurs/203080758822

the one with the two red things on the base? It is the 'cod' from the Happy Kin Antarctic set. The two red things are some kind of crustacean (can't remember which - I don't have the figure).
I have been somewhat interested in this figure, but have had trouble coming up with an ID on the fish, since the morphology does not seem to resemble things called 'cod' from Antarctica. Maybe @sbell has experience with this figure.

[if you buy the lot Adam, I might take the fish if you don't want it  ;) ]

Glad you recognise the figure! I'm not going to buy the lot but I was curious about the fish, at first I thought it was a Tiktaalik, but I'm primed to see prehistoric creatures everywhere I look.  :))

I don't have it, but I'm pretty sure it's the Nayab cod or hake or whatever from their Arctic/Antarctic sets.

yes, for all intent and purpose, Happy Kin = Nayab (or the latter produced for the former). Morphologically it looks like an Atlantic cod, but I do not think that species occurs in Antarctic waters.

Hey guys, I've seen this seller trying to sell their MBA sperm whale figure since last year and no one has taken it up. I think it's because it's listed as a ''Vintage Safari ltd'' rather than ''Monterey Bay Aquarium'', which causes it to be look over in search results. I'm letting people know because I know it's a very coveted figure in certain circles.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/174395313988?&ul_noapp=true&autorefresh=true

On a related note, there's been a more recent listing for an older version of the MBA whale shark along with not just one but 2 of the Schleich 2000 versions of the Maia and Borges adult sperm whale. This figure isn't quite as coveted as the MBA figure, especially since Mojo is currently releasing this exact sculpt. However, I do find it to be interesting for those who are specifically interesting in this particular version or trying to complete Schleich's ''1:32 Seetiere'' line.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-3-1991-WHALE-SHARK-MONTEREY-BAY-AQUARIUM-10-2-Schleich-2000-Pottwal-1-32/224304014275?


The last one is this listing for some MBA figures. The important part is that this lot contains the Bigeye Thresher Shark. Due to its short lifespan of being a late release and early retired part of this brand line, it's one of the rarest figures to find, especially within North America.

Monterey Bay Aquarium retired sperm whale calf up for sale

@Loon I know you recently bought the adult, so I'd imagine this would pique your interest. Similar to the adult, I don't believe a calf of comparable quality has been produced.
