While I recognise most of them, could you add figure captions to your post? I guess there are many people who don't know all of these figures and your post (like those in the other threads) will be a lot more informative if you add information about which figures we are seeing here.

[sauroid]

i agree. infos would be great.

Dont worry partner, I add information  .

Walk-around of the Safari Ltd Wild Safari Sealife 2015 Tiger Shark, Galeocerdo cuvier (Péron & Lesueur, 1822); item No. 2022-29. Total length of the figure is approx. 155 mm (if the figure was stretched out), so the scale is between approx. 1:16 and 1:48. The human figure (Diver from Coral Reef Toob by Safari Ltd) is between approx. 1:32 and 1:35 scale.
Tiger Sharks are the largest among the Carcharhinidae (requiem sharks). They mature at 2.26 m length or more and usually reach 5, occasionally 7.5 m total length (TL, i.e. including tail fin). The species is caught in target and non-target (i.e. as a bycatch) fisheries but the population trend is unknown. Currently, IUCN considers it "Near Threatened".
The figure is well detailed and quite stocky. While the truncate rostrum is accurate, the labial furrows are missing (which is not that much of an issue) and there are only four gill slits on either side of the body where there should be five. The paint job is quite good but seems to be a little delicate which may be due to the soft, flexible material the figure is made of.

Oooo. You just got a Kaiyodo one too, right, from one of the last Capsule Q sets?

Yes, and the CapsuleQ Museum figure is better than this one. Still I think this one is worth getting, the only one by a major non-Japanese company that's still better than this one is the MBA Tiger Shark.

Nurse Sharks are surprisingly rarely made by toy companies so collectors of shark figures will be happy that Safari Ltd is finally closing this gap. Here is the Safari Ltd Wild Safari Sealife 2015 (Atlantic) Nurse Shark, Ginglymostoma cirratum (Bonnaterre, 1788). Length of the figure (TL or total length, i.e. including caudal fin) is 142 mm, so the scale is between approx. 1:16 and 1:30 for a mature individual. Human figure (man from Safari Ltd "People in Motion" Toob since "Freddie the Free Diver" is missing in action and was last seen swimming with mosasaurs) is approx. 1:23 - 1:27 scale. The shark's paint job is simple but very convincing with a velvety and somewhat metallic shine. The sculpt is one of the best I've seen of any shark figure. The head with its detailed mouth and barbels, the proportions and shape and position of fins are excellent. Even the characteristic ridges over the eyes are present. While in most other cases four gill slits would be inaccurate, it is no issue that this figure only has four visible gill slits since in nurse sharks the fifth is so close to the fourth that it looks as if they only had four gill slits. These sharks are benthic, relatively docile sharks that usually do not attack humans if unprovoked, hence their vernacular name. The Atlantic Nurse Shark may be threatened but further information is needed to define its conservation status, it is therefore ranked "Data Deficient" by IUCN.

Great walkaround, Andre. Is it just me, or did the promo pictures of this figure show it having the appropriate number of gill slits?

Thanks, Chad! I don't know what happened. Yes, I think Safari Ltd's photos that show the left side look as if there were actually five gill slits. This photo looks as if there were five, too: http://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/t31.0-8/11021492_10205249225128453_1785216851221495106_o.jpg - there is a shallow depression behind the fourth gill arch but I don't know if this was really meant to be a gill slit since it is not as deep as the others and not present on the right side. It's a bit strange, too, that the 2014 CollectA Tiger Shark also has only four gill slits while otherwise being a really good figure.

I also saw that depression (in your pics, above!) and thought it represented a fifth slit.

Beautiful figure, but I think that the colours could have been better  .

[Jetoar]

I think the same that you, one of the best figures of sharks even of this specie  .

[brontodocus]

Yes, but it's not as deep as the proper gill slits and it's not present on the other side.

Probably, yes, although no non-Japanese company has released a Tiger Shark with a paint job that comes anywhere near the awesomeness of the Capsuleq Museum version.

Yes I understand you. Japanese company are wonderful  .

Another figure  .



Bullyland Blue Shark.

[postsaurischian]

 This figure is from a fantasy animal set by TAKARA TOMY A.R.T.S. and is named Otokomaei.
Could anybody say which real species of ray this might be?



....... unfortunately it has a stupid human face on its belly.

[sbell]

I've seen that ray--from above, it lookks really good. The ventral face is unforunate.

But compared to the other fiugres in that set, it's at least subtle.

As for species, no idea.
