Other Awesome Animals

[Seijun]

A thread for extant animal toys that are not birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, or antelopes?

Here are my AAA pangolin babies, to start. I just adore them! The big one is 14" long, both are cast from real specimens:

Here are my AAA pangolin babies .......

  They are wonderful!!

Aww! I recently bought the small pangolin baby but I didn't know that there's a larger version, too!

One of my favourite things by Colorata is this one (from "Endangered Animals - Wild Animals Vol. 1") especially because there's a Colugo that comes with it:

Cynocephalus (=Galeopterus) variegatus Audebert, 1799 - Sunda Flying Lemur; Pteropus giganteus (Brünnich, 1782) - Indian Flying Fox; Pongo pygmaeus (Linnaeus, 1760) - Bornean Orangutan.

I'll be honest, the dermopteran was pretty much my motivation for getting the whole pink-box set.

Hehe, same here. I bought a used set via Jauce for 450 yen (missing the yellow-footed rock wallaby, though).

I got mine from ig88droid on ebay (along with a bunch of others).  In mine, the lemur is missing the baby on its back.  Not a huge concern, but odd (the box was still factory sealed!).

Any pictures of the colugo?

Oh! I didnt realize they could glide.

That's what the patagium is for--and why they are also known as flying lemurs (although not lemurs at all, of course).

Here is my most recent acquisition, a 1:1 scale replica of an amazon river dolphin (the front half only). The figure is a prop, purportedly from the movie cocoon. It has mechanics inside that allow the mouth to be opened and closed by pulling or pushing a lever. The figure is 41 inches tall (aprx 1 meter). These pictures are from the previous owner:

somewhat off topic but I had to ask Pam, where did you find your new quote from? Or is that something you said? It is hilarious and yet so true.

[Seijun]

Lol, its just something I thought of the other day. My older figures, the older carnegies in particular, have a very distinct smell. My living room smells like them now, and it really is much more pleasing to me than the scent of any air freshener.

[amargasaurus cazaui]

Well put it in quotes, sign your name to it and go with it, its brilliant. Caught myself repeating it to someone I work with today who asked me...what is it with you and dinosaurs? well....my friend...let me explain.......

[Seijun]

If I repeated it to anyone at work, I imagine they would just laugh nervously and then pretend to be very busy with something else.

[amargasaurus cazaui]

Ohhhhhhhhh maybe that explains why....................

I'd post a picture of my Club Earth Extinct Animal toys, but I'm afraid they're in a box somewhere or lost.  Makes me wish more toy lines would release figures for non-fossil extinct animals (aurochs, thylacine, dodo, auk, sea cow, etc)

[Jetoar]

Wonderful acquisitions Seijun. The dolphin is very big and pangolins are very cute. I saw these figures of pangolins in a Zoo when I was a child but I dont see these figures currently  .
