Nice. I have the arthropods (of course) and the T. cornutus. But I need to hunt down one of those Agonomalus proboscidalis!!!

Wonderful

Those frogs are, for some reason, among the rarest Kaiyodo animals.

The set is crazy expensive, as are many of the aquariums', even in Japan.

The reason is the proportion of frogs.

Generally, the ratio of each capsule of a set in the capsule machine is different, and the secret will be only 1 or 2. There is no secret in this set, but Kaiyodo sets the ratio of frogs to only one per bag (there are 50 capsules in one bag), that means at least 3 bags are needed to make a complete set, so the set is crazy expensive.

Actually, it is not how good the frog is, but the number is too less.

Please, could you tell me how much measures the lobster, or take a photo of it compared with, for example, any of the fishes of the Colorata Salt Water set that you have?

I am not sure if these pictures can help you, please take a look.

Thanks, Dirk.

Still, these frogs get more per figure than any Kaiyodo I've seen offered/sold.

I've seen them sell for over $100 each and I actually think I recall seeing one go for over 20000 yen in Japan a few years ago (No, don't quote me on that...).Though many Kaiyodos are rare and sell high (And some Japanese sellers are recently really pushing the price of the Red Data secret dodo skeleton.), I can only think of the Dinotales 1.2 secret Siamotyrannus variant [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] that might ever go that high at this point.
