Yes Andreas, the whole set was copied (with a hermit crab added as well!)

I bought that set 1998 of Gran Canaria :)

The enigmatic onychophoran, Hallucigenia sparsa.

1. Kaiyodo (Dinotales)
2. Favorite Co. (Cambrian Creatures Mini Model - Burgess Shale Series)

These two figures demonstrate nicely how manufacturers will keep up with the changing science as we learn more about extinct animals. The Kaiyodo figure on the left, while detailed for the knowledge at the time, is out-of-date next to the Favorite figure to the right.

Looks like we are keeping the prehistoric theme going with Extinct Crabs. This is not a taxonomic unit, but rather a dumping ground for extinct Decapoda.

I. Eryon sp.
1. Nayab
2. Kaiyodo (Dinotales)

II. Portunites sp..
This is a plaster cast by Fossil Molds and Replicas. Normally I wouldn't collect something like this, but it represented a new genus for me!

The emperor scorpion, Pandinus imperator. Unless specifically indicated otherwise, I will assume all scorpion figures of Pandinus represent P. imperator. This species is not ignored and has been made by US, European, Asian, and Australian manufacturers...

A. Large and very large figures.

1. Giant figure by an unknown manufacturer. It is very similar to the smaller AAA model but it not marked as such; Toy Major is another possibility.

2. Safari LTD (Smithsonian Insects).

3. Chap Mei [added 5/30/2017]

B. Medium and smaller figures.

3. Toy major

1. Edu Science
2. Kaiyodo (Night Aqua Museum)
3. Bullyland [original]
4. Cadbury (Yowies - UK release)

6. Takara Tomy A.R.T.S. (Scorpions)
