Are the Octonauts still around? I don't know of them, but I'd like that ray! I already have a giant ray from Go Diego.

And that other torpedo (or 'hammerhead shark' according to the seller) sure looks like a AAA but I've never ever seen it before. Someone really needs to find a real contact at that company and get a proper list!

That Octonauts set is on Amazon for about $30, and it appears to be fairly common on ebay too, so I guess they are still around.

I agree, a proper AAA list from the company itself would be great!  Who knows what other little known creatures they've made!   Do they even have a website, and if not, then how do they distribute their products?

I've never even heard of or seen Octonauts--I can't believe (based on some searches) that those little sets are worth $25. It seems high.

And I think the problem so far with tracking down AAA is its unknown nature--it seems to be a company that does lots of things for lots of different distributors, but doesn't have much of a web presence on its own (or, that every business tries to name itself AAA and it's difficult to sort through them all)

Frilled Shark  -  Chlamydoselachus anguineus


1. TAKARA TOMY A.R.T.S.  2. Epoch - Living Fossils (secret figure)  3. Colorata - Sharks DX box  4. Safari - Prehistoric Sealife toob

And one more frilled shark: Kaiyodo ChocoEgg Animatales:



It seems that Chlamydoselachus is very popular in Japanese figures. Now when do we get our 6-gill or 7-gill sharks?

[postsaurischian]

  Cute! I want that one, too.

It's not being offered too often .

Much like the Animatales giant salamander, it's probably not the best representation, but it likely is the first. And it really did take me forever to come across one for a decent price (again, like the giant salamander).

Common Torpedo by an unknown company.

[Varanus]

This is review of the "Electricray" (Common Torpedo, Torpedo torpedo) made by Nayab as a part of their Deep Sea World series (see Sphyrna18's comment).  The figure is made of hard plastic and is about 8 cm long, about 1:25 scale.  It is fairly accurate, although the dorsal and pelvic fins seem a little too large and the underside is missing gills and apparently a mouth.

[sbell]

I'm amused that they took the time to label it, and did a pretty good job overall, then didn't sculpt a mouth or gills. I can't tell from the photos--are the spiracles and eyes clearly sculpted?

[brontodocus]

Thanks for sharing, Varanus, it's an interesting and unique figure and I'm not aware of any other Torpedo Ray figures. If only another seller than the one you bought it from would offer one I'd probably get one, too...

[Jetoar]

Very nice figure. It is very big?

[Jetoar]

Sometimes, Uknown brands do wonderful figures. This figure is a good example  .

[Varanus]

Thanks everyone!

The spiracles are nicely sculpted, but bulge outward more like eyes.  The eyes below them are more subtle, basically just slightly raised vertical ovals.

[Varanus]

Very nice figure. It is very big?

It's fairly small, about 8 cm.

Oh! it is tiny

Common Torpedo by an unknown company.

Nice find! This figure is produced by Nayab as part of their Deep Sea World series.

Very nice find! I got this figure from an Ebay seller a few weeks ago. It's a really good figure for a really low price.  It's produced by Nayab as part of their Deep Sea World series. Mine was sold with a Scalloped Hammerhead Shark and Moray Eel as a set and was released by a company called Lontic. They also have released Nayab's Arctic and Antarctic Aniamals series.

This figure can be seen in the set in the upper left corner of the page here:
