Precambrian figures?

[Darwinian]

I remember about a year ago someone showed a set of PC figures which I believe were from a canadian museum. Does anyone remember where they were from or know if they are still available?

They are not Precambrian, they are Burgess Shale (Cambrian) figures. They were produced by the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) and you can still buy the set directly from their store.

Oh awesome. I'm so glad to hear this.  The Cambrian fauna is one of my favorites. I hope they're well made and accurate.

Thagirion, the models are more like toys than like Kaiyodo quality.  I scanned the sheet  than came with the Primeval Predators, but had to crop it.  Fossils are shown with the toys.  This set is special to me because it got me started on collecting figures 10 years ago.

Of course I would love to see quality, but Cambrian stuff is so rare out there. Ha, they even put in a Pikaia.  Wish they'd make one of Amiskiwa. I love that little worm.  Yeah, I do want these now.

Thanks for the correction. Shouldn't post when running on fumes.

How large are the figures?

**update**

HOLY CRAP! Its $40 shipping!

[Thagirion]

It is? That's crazy. That brings the total to $80. Ouch.  A group order might be wise to do then. You know get enough people to buy a bunch to split the shipping. Sigh, I won't be able to do that for a while.

I live near Toronto. I'll pop you a message the next time I'm going down to the ROM (we go about once every three months - but there is a special exhibit coming in late June (South American Dinos) - so I expect I will be going there more than once...

Postage would be at cost - not silly like museum.

[Thagirion]

Sure, keep us informed.

That would be fabulous. I'm willing to pay upfront if you can snag me a set.
