Turtles

  Here's one from Kabaya's 'Amazonas' set:


    No.15 - Mata mata


  ... and the two species from Colorata's 'Endangered Species - Reptiles' box:


    Radiated Tortoise & Aldabra Giant Tortoise

[brontodocus]

Oh, the Kabaya Matamata is lovely! Is that from the Amazon figures set made out of resin (the one of which you sent me the Macaw)? Looks like it.

I've been longing for that box!

Wait, don't you have at least eighteen Colorata boxes and not this one (I don't have it either)?
_{You know, as a moderator here it is, well, almost sort of a duty (or at least a very good reason) to eventually grab your Colorata boxes out, finally, and show them to us.}

Oh, my. Now that's an arduous task if ever there was one. 

[brontodocus]

Well, most of my figures are stowed away, too (urgh, 60+ plastic boxes from Ikea and counting). And so only a fraction of my figures is easily accessible for me. It is one reason (of course not the only one) for me to try to photograph every single figure. Digital photos stored in folders are so much easier to sort and browse through...

Yes, it is.
I still don't know what that set is exactly called, because everything is written in Japanese.
A German eBay seller sold masses of these for 1 EUR each. I discovered him too late to get the complete set .
I think you have the baby Tapir as well .

A few turtles.

Playvision Flat-backed Turtle (left) and Hawksbill Turtle (right).

Varanus showed two of the 8 Play Visions Sea Turtles 1998 above: 2) Hawksbill and 5) Flatback.  Here are 5 more, but I do not own the 1) Leatherback.  My figures are not marked with numbers, so I used marks on the Yujn Series 1 figures. 


4. Black sea turtle, Chelonia mydas (= C. agassizii)


3. Green sea turtle, Chelonia mydas


7. Kemp's ridley sea turtle, Lepidochelys kempii


6. Loggerhead sea turtle, Caretta caretta


8. Olive ridley sea turtle, Lepidochelys olivacea

EDIT: TGF Toys has 7 of the 8 sea turtles for sale.  Habitat Earth did not come up in the A-Z index, but did give a hit in the search box for sea turtle.
Item numbers added.

This thread is making me want to collect sea turtles. They are marine reptiles so what possible excuse do I have to resist temptation...

Hahaa me too! Those Coloratas are awesome! And ridiculusly cute... 

[Ana]

Wow, so many lovely turtles and tortoises <3 Colorata boxes are truly AMAZING  And casts of real specimens are superb too 

I don't have many turtles and tortoises in my collection but among few others I have these:



They are Yuijn and species from left to right (thank You for help in recognizing them earlier Kiki ) are: Hilaire's Side-necked Turtle (Phrynops hilarii), Radiated tortoise (Astrochelys radiata), Spiny turtle (Heosemys spinosa) and Chinese softshell turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis)

[AnimalToyForum]

Kikimalou posted this figure in the ID thread
If anyone recognises it, do head over to the ID thread to enlighten us

[postsaurischian]

The Yujin turtles are very cute . Especially the Chinese Softshell Turtle.
Here is Nature Techni Colour's version of it:

Pelodiscus sinensis - Chinese Softshell Turtle





This is a Leatherback from the Aqualand series by Kaiyodo:

Dermochelys coriacea - Leatherback Sea Turtle





Two more turtles by Yujin:




Lepidochelys olivacea - Olive Ridley Sea Turtle




Caretta caretta - Loggerhead Sea Turtle

[tyrantqueen]

Pretty. I intend to start a turtle and tortoise collection soon too.

[brontodocus]

This is a walk-around of the retired Wild Safari Leatherback Turtle, Dermochelys coriacea (Vandelli, 1761). Total length is 110 mm and carapace length 72 mm, corresponding to a scale between 1:14 and 1:30. Charles R. Darwin from Accoutrements "Evolving Darwin Playset" is approx. 1:22.5 scale.

I really don't have any excuse for not owning this one. 

[brontodocus]

Unfortunately, it seems not that easy to find anymore. When I bought i t from a German store more than three years ago it was the last one they had and I haven't seen it since.

[AnimalToyForum]

Serves me right They might be extant, but surely turtles deserve a place alongside my extinct marine reptiles.
