Replica Toy Fish Co. NEW SPECIES Walkaround

Hello everyone. My fish arrived safe and sound yesterday. Some of them are scathed sadly.  But other than that, I am pleased to be the first person to own these new figures.

Here is the midwest tackle box. These aren't new, but they're great and I love them too.

Simon (RTF) was kind enough to send me some unreleased additions. The handwriting is a bit difficult to read, so I have put up the species in white text.

Thanks for the bonuses RTF! The bonuses are not for sale on his site, so you might consider these rarities for a little while.

Also, here is the Steelhead. No picture was provided on the website, so here it is.

Thanks for reading.

That's an important increment in your collection, Emma!
We can see how proud and happy you are with these figures and reading their website, I am sure Simon is happy for finding a fish enthusiast like you. Reading a little more about this project, I find it very interesting and very brave from the founder. That kind of fish is not among the classic toys and they could be used to reeducate toy industry and as excellent educational tools.
This interesting company needs an entry on Toy Animal Wiki and I'll start it as soon as I can.
Congratulations for having them and all these unreleased figures and thanks for sharing!

Thank you Roger very much. I adore these figures, heck, I've found my new love. My grandparents lived in the Midwest for as long as I could remember. My grandma and grandpa have likely fished some of these before. She's told me a story about a sturgeon that swam under their canoe.

I'm sure Simon would appreciate these being added to the Wikia. He said he needs capital (more money) to create more figures for 2015, so this would help him. I've informed his main customer Tapir and Friends Animal Store in hopes of getting words out about the new stuff.

Replica Toy Fish Co. Is a Colorado owned/local company, and I guess that's one thing to be proud of in my state.

I thank him for the bonuses, I love that alligator gar!
Every time he releases new stuff, I'll keep coming back for more.

Emma, you know that STS always supported all companies, mainly in their first steps. It doesn't mean money, but increasing their presence in the web, turning them best known among collectors, distributors and shops, giving our imput about their work, etc. Simon is very welcomed here and we wish him all luck with this project.
The skeleton of their page on Toy Animal Wiki is already done here!. I think the essential is described and that those are all moulds they have. It still needs all pictures in respective figure pages and surely it will be enriched with time.
I am not able of judging the realism of these figures, but considering your enthusiasm, they are well done and useful to help identifying these fish species. They seem relatively cheap, I am considering to buy the Midwest set if I find a way to manage how to do it. They seem to be very useful to educational Institutions, aquaria, gift shops, etc.

Hi Roger, I can send photos for the Wikia. I will size them up more if I can.
I will ask Simon if he is interested in signing up for the forum. I will let him know via email.
I am the expert on their respective species. I can send you their names and such. I can give you all the details. Thanks. I will repeat your words to him.
I recommend all of it to you. They're all very realistic and nicely painted.

For the brook trout, there are two variants, so you may want to label each one "brook trout 1" and "brook trout 2". Same with the musky. There are two of them.

Yes, ask Simon. I can do it myself if you want. :)
Thanks for providing these that are still missing. Which ones are 3 inches and which ones are 6 inches? Is the carp a common carp?

Hi, I have already notified Simon.

All are 3 inches long. No new six inch yet.

The Carp, yeah, let's assume it's a common carp.

I am happy to start taking a few photos each day and you can gradually add them to the wiki.

Great, you can send to me the full sized pictures and I resize them. Wiki was updated!

Thank you very much Susanne. I appreciate these figures very much and am proud to own them. Me and Roger are working on adding them to the animal toy wiki. I sent him pictures of each individual fish and will be up by tomorrow. I can't wait to see them on the wiki!

Thank you,  that is interesting :)

Roger is adding them to the wiki so you can get close ups Andreas.
