Animal Kaiser--card and collection game from Japan?

So I was searching around on Jauce, seeing what was new (prior to shipping an order) and discovered a card-collecting game inthe vein of so many other Japanese games called Animal Kaiser.

Of course, of greater interest was the range of animal figures that they made to go along with them. They are...of varying quality. Some appear to be excellent replicas. Some are plain goofy.

I found a site here with what appears to have a lot of them:

As I looked them over, I discovered a few things--one, I NEED to track down the electric ray and the skate.

Second, it appears I had two of them, and didn't even know it:

Ryuku Leaf turtle:

Scalloped Hammerhead Shark (they actually are specific right to the species!)

I actually have 2 of the hammerheads. I didn't even know what they were when I got them, several years ago.

So perhaps someone can find these, or know someone who can? Or maybe there are other people that have some, and didn't know what they were.

Or, maybe, I just found something 'new' (some of these are from several years ago) that someone will need to try to track down  

They are awesome ! Sort of Japanese-style mini Chap Mei   

Look at that turtle   
And some very fine bird models and insects ...more great sealife   
I never heard about them before !

Thankyou very much for sharing   

Thank for sharing and congrats for the figurines. Some are not bad, especially the rays:)

They are very nice! Cool find!

Nice models Sbell   

I also have two of them, the Hornbill and the African wild dog.

Ohh, Christophe    

You have so many great and unusual models ! I love those too    

I seethe hornbill has a little stand as well--from what I cna tell, many of the sea animals do, it makes them display better.

I saw a Jauce auction for the wild dog, but thought better of it. It looks a little rough, compared to their reptiles and fish.

The good thing with the African wild dog is its size, it matches with the Furuta and K&M. So I add it to the tribe.

Picture, picture     Please   

Some of the figures for this game are good enough but there are some I can not like (are not realistic). I bought in the past only two flying birds, the hornbill (as I saw it before on "Kiki-pedia") and eagle owl. Unfortunately, both these figures are still hidden somewhere in my boxes...

OHHHH ! I faint    

Christophe, some day you will hear somebody scratching on your door, - that will be me, having run all the way to France to see your collection      

Are the cards and the figurines for each specie a set or are they alone available?    

ANother old and interesting topic! I didn't know about these at all! Luckily I bring you back to this topic and you see Andreas' question.

I didn't see that question! As far as I know, it is a card game first, so there are a lot more animals on the cards than have been released as figures. Although I have a couple, I've never gotten any of the cards, but I believe they are supposed to come with the cards.

I actually have a big lot coming through Brett at some point or other, so I'll finally get a good idea of what the range looks like; I only have 3 or 4 figures right now.

Does anyone know where you can consult the catalog of the
complete collection?
Thanks!
