Deep-sea fish

[brontodocus]

The Dragonfish looks great and it seems the Humpback Anglerfish is even better than the Kaiyodo Atlas Anima version!

Does the Safari Ltd tube come with documentation naming the individual species?

Oddly and unfortunately, the toob did not come with any information about the figures, unlike the prehistoric sharks and crocs

That was part of an initiative by Safari to be environmentally conscious (and I'm sure spend less on production). Even toobs that have them now will not in future runs. However, there is info on their website (but I will admit it is nowhere near as informative or interesting as on the crocs or sharks toobs, since I helped ith the text on those too!).

I was wondering why the prehistoric crocs tube had an info sheet and the sharks didn't... in other news, I guess the sharks sell better than the crocs, given that they were already out of stock on sharks with info sheets but still had the crocs with the info sheets. It's too bad, because I was really happy with the croc info, especially since they gave "Special thanks to" but then failed to thank anyone.

The info sheet that came with my prehistoric shark toob says "special thanks to the T.rex Discovery Centre, Eastend, Saskatchewan."  Forum member Sbell, who was the museum director there at the time, was Safari's advisor. He should also be credited as advisor for the Prehistoric Crocodiles Toob, although I do not have that info sheet. In addition to the labels, Safari marks the identification on the bottom of their figures.

That's me! Yeah, they made an error with the crocs sheet. The shark sheet was done right though!  Online, there is a link to the Trex site, but honestly, since they let 'restructured their core purpose' it isn't worth visiting (the site I mean. The place is alright even if it will never achieve what I had hoped for it).

Don't forget about these little fellows:   


Same species as Brontodocus mentioned previously.

I very much so love these figures! Been looking for them for a long time. Would you been interested in a trade at all??

[widukind]

A lot of interesting figurines here

[stargatedalek]

[in addition to some already shown here] I have some Chap-Mei deep sea fish, no species assigned to them and most are somewhat nonsensical, but a few are not half bad

How big are they? I'd love to see them!

[stargatedalek]

the largest is a generic anglerfish about 10 inches long
I'll see if I can find them

Thanks! Yeah, I'd love to see them!

I found them, in with the Dino Valley figures
now I just need to find my camera (been cleaning)

Nice! Can't wait to see!

sorry it took so long, here they are!

"Giant Anglerfish" (Chap Mei ~ Animal Planet)
http://animaltoyforum.com/index.php?topic=1132.0






piranhadon (fictional, from 2005 King Kong)
not sure if this should really count, but I often use it as a "generic dragonfish like thing"
the head is hard plastic and the rest is soft flexible rubber



"Dragonfish?" (Chap Mei ~ Animal Planet)

Star, those are Chap Mei Viperfish, not sure on species though. Vipers and Dragons can be differentiated by the lures location, Vipers lures are on the dorsal fin, Dragons lures are on the chin.

Also, My Deep-sea fish. Plus a lonely Isopod.


Figures:
Safari Ltd. Deep-Sea Creatures Toob Giant Isopod
Safari Ltd. Deep-Sea Creatures Toob Humpback? Angler Fish
Safari Ltd. Deep-Sea Creatures Toob Viperfish (not really)
Safari Ltd. Deep-Sea Creatures Toob Hatchetfish
Safari Ltd. Deep-Sea Creatures Toob Gulper Eel
Safari Ltd. Deep-Sea Creatures Toob Black Dragonfish
Safari Ltd. Prehistoric Sharks Toob Scapanorhynchus (looks like a Goblin Shark, so could've lived in the depths.)
Safari Ltd. Deep-Sea Creatures Toob Glass Squid (larval form)
Safari Ltd. Prehistoric Sea-life Toob Frilled Shark

Figures:
Safari Ltd. Prehistoric Sharks Toob Scapanorhynchus (looks like a Goblin Shark, so could've lived in the depths.)

It may look like the modern Mitsukirina but many specimens are found in relatively shallow waters, even around dinosaur fossils. But since there aren't any  'easy to find' goblin shark models, just Japanese figures (so many Japanese figures...) it works fine!

I was kinda hoping CollectA would make one for 2017, but not yet...

Given the ranges of sharks, I would expect Safari to come through with a few deep sea sharks first. Could you image a life size Cigar Shark or Lantern Shark in the Incredible Creatures line?

Or an IC Frilled Shark? That'd be pretty cool. There needs to be more deep sea shark figures.
