Since 2016 it is known that the Galapagos Tortoise is not a single species, but at least 13 different species. Some of them are already extinct or critically endangered. Some of the older Schleich Tortoises look similar to some of these species.

The oldest Schleich Galapagos Tortoise looks similar to the Volcan Alcedo Tortoise:

The next one from Schleich is similar to the Santa Cruz (Indefatigable Island) Tortoise:

And of course the CollectA Abingdon (Punta) Island Tortoise, which is already known:)

After somebody asked about what species of gazelle is the new PNSO model, I've found that is a Mountain gazelle. See this reply in the topic:

The Papo Galapagos Tortoise represents also a Volcan Alcedo Tortoise, which seems to be the typical species for toy models.

Interesting observations about the porcupines. It is not like CollectA to misname a figure. I wonder if the final product will have less white and look like an Indian Crested, or maybe it will be rebranded as a Cape? It really does look to be painted like a Cape in the promotional images.

Because of its shape, the colouration, the longer snout and its dorsal fin, which is not curvy, the Papo Bottlenose Dolphin really looks similar to an Indopacific Bottlenose Dolphin. Moreover, the head is less convex:

It could be interesting to control all the bootlenose dolphins

The Southlands Replicas Wombat is a Northern hairy-nosed Wombat, which is one of the rarest land mammals:

What is your criteria for tell one as the southern and the other as the northern?

The Southland Replicas figure was specifically marketed as a Southern hairy-nose.

Yes, and Jason, the sculptor, told it as a Southern hairy-nosed wombat, directly on forum. Southern and Northern hairy-nosed wombats are quite hard to identify, I think the proportion between the nasal and frontal bones is one of the identifying keys. It is very hard to measure in a toy, unless there is a convincent reason to determine the official version as wrong.

The impression I get is a lot of the IDs in this thread are random comparisons of figures (whose paint jobs can vary slightly from factory to factory) and random online image searches (and posted images online are not guaranteed to always be accurate). It's fun if you want to create a more taxonomically diverse and obscure collection, but I wouldn't put much weight personally into many of them, esp where subspecies are concerned. It is fun, though! :)

I will admit I have done similar with butterflies, but for my own collection as well. But I have an algorithm I take into consideration, including but not limited too: 1) paint job, 2) has it been done before (companies love to copy one another), and 3) where is the company located (companies are more likely to do familiar, local fauna)
