The figure also looks somewhat flat to me but I really love it and it could be a good partner for my Papo scorpion that I adore. Very Happy

A dust mite, Dermatophagoides sp. by an unknown Chinese manufacturer. I have a feeling the seller (AliExpress) is also the manufacturer; I emailed them a while ago, but have yet to hear back.

Here it is with the only other dust mite figure I am aware of, the rather cartoony offering by Play Visions:

This kind of figures show how interesting is this hobby and that surely it is not just like a passion for cute pandas. There are many kinds of animals replicated and I confess that one of the most surprising series I witnessed in this forum was the Play Visions set where this dust mite belongs. I was not expecting seeing something like this at all. Now you've found a completely different one that is more in harmony with the usual translucent bodies these creatures have.

They are amazing. It is always good to see, that there are models from special lifeforms.

As I said before, it's a pity that I haven't enough space to collect all of them!

Revisiting the head louse, Pediculus humanus capitis De Geerm 1767. This is another from that unknown Chinese manufacturer, like the aforementioned dust mite and leech.

This is not a new figure, but rather a correction. This figure is from the Animal Kaiser collection by Bandai. I have had this figure for a couple years and assumed it was just another emperor scorpion. Turns out, it is a Tanzanian red-clawed scorpion (Pandinus cavimanus), making it one of the rare examples of a Pandinus figure specifically marketed as something other than P. imperator!!!

That is particularly interesting and surely it opens a kind of new re-interpretation to the Pandinus around. Does it belongs here? We only have a few figures listed on TAW.

Thanks, considering the few figures listed, I supposed it could be a collection of sets as usual in Japanese brands but I see now it is a series.
