What sorts of Cambrian fauna toys or figures are out there?

So aside from dinosaurs, I'm really interested in Cambrian fauna. Like Anomalocaris, trilobites, Hallucigenia, and many of the other weird and wonderful critters from way back then. I'd like to get some, and I've only been able to find two products offering a couple of them. The safari ltd toob, and the primeval predators set. I think Kaiyado has some as well from what I've seen. I might go with the safari toob because its cheap, but I was wondering what else was out there for these Cambrian critters? Sorry if there's a thread existing for this, or if this wasn't the best place to ask about this stuff. I'm still very new here.

Hi Faelrin. I have done a Aegirocassis, the giant filter of Cambrian fauna

[Off Nick and Eddie's reactions to the dinosaurs] Oh yeah "Ooh, aah", that's how it always starts. But then there's running and screaming.

Aside from Kaiyodo (and possibly some other Japanese companies like Colorata and such?) I know of no company that produces such obscure taxa for toys and even Kaiyodo's can hardly count as toys. However, there's a nice list with pictures of Kaiyodo Dinotales by member SBell here which includes some Cambrian forms (if my prehistory doesn't fail me) and the more recent "Leaps in Evolution" set also includes one (Anomalocaris).

SBell

There is a Cambrian toob from Safari (Anomalocaris, Charniodiscus, Ottoia, Naraoia, Sanctacaris, Sidneyia, Tricrepicephalus (Trilobtie), Vauxia); the Panorama series from COG has Cambrian figures (Pikaia, Opabinia, Ottoia, Hallucigenia, Aysheaia, Olenellus) which was recently re-rereleased, but only 5; and the ROM has a set of 5 larger (mostly) Cambrian figures as well (Laggania, Pikaia, Olenoides, Opabinia, Wiwaxia)!

There are others, but those are the main Cambrian-focused sets

Thank you for all the responses everyone. I'll have to check them all out and see what I want to get/can afford.

Halichoeres

Yowie also made several Cambrian critters. They're not easy to come by, but when you do find them they're usually not very expensive. There was a Dickinsonia, a Mawsonites, an Anomalocaris, and a wiwaxiid. Maybe a couple of others.

Sometimes I draw pictures

Brontozaurus

The new Paleo Pals line has a plush Anomalocaris. I got mine through their kickstarter. It's pretty sweet, anatomically accurate and everything.

dont forget dino-horizons has a few.

Unless they've added on, the Dino Horizons figures were the COG-Prehistoric Panorama figures (possibly repackaged) but each set missing at least one or two species.
