Since anacondas have been popular talks lately due to the newly announced Safari Ltd one, here is a pair of reasonably priced Schleich ones (discontinued) if for some reason you didn't like Safari LTD's

The six Marsh Education fish are great. At that price I wonder if they weren't sourced from China directly, since Marsh lists them as available on their site. 5 years ago Marsh was sold out, TaoBao/AliExpress were the only places to get them.


I probably should have reviewed more than the loach minnow but just never got to it. I guess I did a pupfish walk around too.

Sorry for being a bit off topic here, but I have a question. I recently read @Gwangi 's review of the Razorback on the blog (great review btw) and decided to order the fish from the Marsh Education shop. I got 4 of them, since I had bought the Razorback on eBay and Loach Minnow was sold out.

But it has been a few days now and there was no shipping confirmation or any tracking added to my order on Paypal. Do they take long to ship orders? I tried contacting them via e-mail, but got an automatic reply saying my e-mail could not be delivered.

I am not in a hurry, I don't mind waiting a bit longer to get my order, as long as I can be sure it will be delivered. But their website is a bit "crude" and looks outdated, their contact e-mail address is not working, and my payment via paypal was sent to an account called "[email protected]" so I started to worry about my order.

Did anyone buy from them recently? Are they reliable?

I haven't ordered for many years. But I found the customer service really good back then (2016...)

I would keep trying, or try to contact through their Facebook page

I ordered a couple figures from them after I reviewed the razorback (glad you liked the review) and it took about 7-10 days for the package to arrive. I'm in the United States so I suspect it will take longer to get to you. They did not give me a tracking number or anything but it arrived with the figures in decent shape, and well packaged. Before I made my purchase I did send them an email to verify that the items were indeed in stock and the person I was in correspondence with was very nice. I think you'll be alright. Hope that helps @Ikessauro.

[Ikessauro]

Thanks @Gwangi and @sbell

I contacted them via Facebook and got a reply quite fast. They explain they only go in once a week to ship items, since they are a non profit organization and can't have full time staff working there.

I guess I only have to wait now. Looking forward to receiving those fish.

It looks like this listing only ships to the UK, but if anyone over there is looking for it, here is the very hard to find AAA anglerfish
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403786006307?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338722076&customid=&toolid=10050

[NSD Bashe]

I have a question; does anyone have any idea what these are?:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/174335679124?hash=item2897375a94:g:kDMAAOSwCyRe~cqb

Are they some kind of tiny plastic figures stored in gel?  And if so are they supposed to stay in the gel or be taken out?  Or are they more like stickers?  Does anybody know?  I've seen this listed a few times and still don't know what to make of it and can't seem to find any other info on it...

[NSD Bashe]

pretty decent price for this Safari angler; even seems to have the lure intact

A bit on the expensive side, but if anyone is desperate for a realistic caracal, this plush figure looks strikingly detailed

The new Kinder saola is available here:

and if you type "Natoons 2 Ferrero 2022" into eBay you should get the others to come up also.

Thanks! I think I'll go for the frog but will wait for it to be sold in the US on eBay! Thanks for the tip!

no problem 

Now here's a curious lot containing the AAA "lantern fish" which has become more difficult to find recently; this one happens to be the even more obscure alternate color version.  Shipping is a bit expensive for anyone in the US but in case anyone's particularly desperate to find this particular model it's here:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/403874240162?hash=item5e08c7d6a2:g:4-AAAOSwPxNjGOj4&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoEC2b2pSeY8JNxEt2S04HTx8XQq6SxjIym5qH6zpMe%2FtA5DtihCTNfZnb3CZCQbVabUc8Gh3S4aevcIon%2B3belv%2BLKu%2Bd9meW6yTOOYjrgHFjWJ7nbF%2Fy4ES1uwuJaYwst5MYdyQSoiLp6S6ZmnUCWYj7Vr2BcCALX%2FOXG4QER3Jzu7N1P3fKGcHt8h2QiSDtWxMO3x7Eq%2Fbwdzynbtf6O8%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR6bQ6OnrYA

[BlueKrono]

Is that a barreleye?

[NSD Bashe]

It is, kind of at least, it's based on the old specimens of barreleye that were missing the outer layer of the head; not sure why it was labeled by AAA as a "lantern fish" but from what I understand the term lantern fish has been used to refer to a number of deep sea fish besides just the species most commonly referred to as lantern fish.  It is a cool model in any case.

[NSD Bashe]

Curious and obscure little set of fish that includes an angler, an ocean sunfish and a particularly rare fangtooth.  I believe it was from one of the Chap Mei sets initially or something similar.

--Just a warning from experience, the snap-off edges of these figures are incredibly sharp and very hard plastic, so be prepared to be very careful cutting them loose and you'll likely want to file the edges down as well.
