Today updated new picture, the secret in this set is Chinese Pangolin - Manis pentadactyla

The news form Junya Sato, he is the manager of Ikimon. He said that these figures may not be released in Japan because the market conditions in Japan are not so good.  So this set will sell in China only.

Can you please find out where to buy in China?

Please please inform us :)

Aside from having E ready to get them if released in Japan, I am already speaking to someone who has offered to help in China.

I'll update accordingly here and via my mailing list.

Thanks, Dirk.

So these are gorgeous...

I assume since he (You) didn't write more that we still have no release information other than that it's been proposed that they might release in China and likely or perhaps not Japan--if they release at all.

Still, I'm taking orders for these now. Demand is very high as I began doing so this summer.

I have sources standing by in China in case they are not released in Japan.

Please PM if interested.

Thanks.
Brett

What material are these last animals made of ?

The single NTC I have is made of hard plastic.

Any word what the red/white fish is?

Really wonderful :)

Doesn't matter. I want it.

Sturgeon too, of course

I think we talked about that fish before: it's the Chinese high-fin banded shark Myxocyprinus asiaticus. It's a very large sucker (Catostomidae), one of only two species in the family native to Eurasia.

Ahh, they are all fabulous !
And I am in love with that tiger
Thank you Dirk :)

GOSH ! Amazing

They are so fine and delicate, and absolutely beautyful

However, they are not the kind of models I want to collect.
I think we can agree they are more like ornaments than toys

That's the one! Maybe they'll make a secret figure in the juvenile pattern!

The secret figure in this set is Chinese Pangolin Manis pentadactyla.

Thanks Tim, glad your hunch proved right after the paint job. It's on my to-get list.

I was just being hopeful. NTC doesn't usually do secrets like Kaiyodo does

I'd said somewhere--maybe earlier in this thread or maybe in a group mail to my buyers--that the monkey strikes me as one of those fake stone figures you'd find in a greeting card store. I imagine that that's maybe what you're seeing in all of these?

For the rest, I feel they are much more in line with Kaiyodos.

I'll definitely have these in my collection. Beyond wanting them, I imagine that, unless there's something different about the numbers due to distribution in China, the set will make quite an investment.

Just look at what the zebra and giraffe and many others take just a few years after their releases.

I just noticed now, any idea what the other fish are with the sturgeon? They look familiar but I can't place them.

The sturgeon is gorgeous, but the accessory fish is probably a unique species.
