First I've heard of this gashapon manufacturer, but they've released a set of little plastic fossils. Reminds me a bit of Safari's fossil Toob, only uglier.


Clockwise from left: Apatosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, "pteridophyte," Velociraptor, Deinonychus

A plant fossil is what was missing from Safari's Toob, so that one's kind of tempting, but those dinosaurs look pretty bad.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Are those the official identifications?
Because just looking at the fossils, they look to me like Keichousaurus pair, Coelophysis, possible seed fern, Pterodactylus, and generic dromeosaur. Only the last one doesn't look like it is based on any actual fossil. Not that they are all that great.

Yeah, that's from comparing the names in the flyer to articles on Japanese Wikipedia. I don't actually read Japanese, so it's possible I made mistakes. I agree they don't really look like what they're supposed to. I especially thought the alleged Apatosaurus was a much better match for something like Keichousaurus.
