I got this in an eBay lot (from WhiteLightningWolf acually). I was about to add it to the 'donation bin' until I noticed it was stamped as being from Safari Ltd. in 2010. I have never seen this snail before. Any ideas? It's large, about 10 cm long, and presumably from the Incredible Creatures line.

And while we are at it; any species suggestions (although I fear it's too generic).

Thanks Roger,

Was the snail also sold individually? I know they did that with another animal (cardinal?). Weren't the 'fairy' figures permanently affixed to the animal?

Since it is marked 2010 and we have the catalogues after it, I can tell you for sure the snail was not sold individually.
Safari marketed it mentioning figures could not be sold individually what means they're two pieces but they should have been sold as a set.
Yes, there was Lucy on Cardinal and later the bird was sold individually as a red cardinal. Lucy can be removed as you can [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Late to the party; don't suppose you still have the snail do you? I'd be willing to buy it if so.
