Thank you, is it right again that reef fishes are not your thing?

That is correct--I stick mostly to deep sea (sometimes), pelagic, chondrichthyans, and freshwater; generally more unusual fishes. Plus, whatever else catches my eye!

Do you need some? I have lots of spares, etc. Just haven't taken the time to work it out as a lot on my sales thread.

A question (because i found them on ebay as lot but i am only interested in one)- is the Lutjanus kasmira for sale. And the Holacanthus ciiaris?

They would be, yes! Along with a lot of the rest, to be honest.

Just received! 5 out of the 6 new Kaiyodo Deep-Sea aquarium models!

I wasn't too concerned about getting the two squid, although the lot I purchased had the vampire squid.

More important was the 4 fish!

Goblin shark--incredibly detailed, even if they have been done before:

Giant oarfish--again, it has been done many times, but this one is really, really nice:

The vampire squid (again, not the first time for this species):
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Now the two more unusual ones!

I was pleasantly surprised by the 'Green Husa monkfish', a figure I wasn't really persuing, but am glad to have gotten:

For the record, the only figure that is not actually attached to the base.

And the one that, seriously, I was soooo happy to see made as a figure! A long-snouted lancetfish! So cool-looking! Look at those teeth!

Once again, we have a winning set from kaiyodo. I will probably track down the 6th, a colossal squid, a some point. But there are other things to get first!

Beautieful additions :)

I really love all of them, starting with this goblin, a remarkable shark species to the fangs of that scaleless lizard.

I'm pretty happy to have them! Of the many gobln shark figures that I have,this is easily one of the best.

And there are a lot--almost always in a capsule-figure size range. Takara has done 2, Colorata has made one, and there is an early Kaiyodo Deep-Sea figure. Plus, a PV model and a tiny one from a K&M ball. And there are probably others, mainly Japanese (I don't know if there is a larger PV figure)

Really, you'd almost expect more of them! They are such unique fish.

I haven't really had much to put up for a while.

I did, however, recently receive a few new ones from Japan, courtesy of Brett!

Three plecos from Epoch (gold dust, albino and red-eye panaque); I actually ended up wtih two gold-dust plecos.

And, the Lepidotes that was included with the Dino Expo 2016 Real Spinosaurus. Didn't get the dinosaur, happy to have the fish!

I also recently got the Schleich Dunkleosteus. I still like the Safari better, but it's pretty good.

Let me know if the photos don't work...I've had to move servers.

And soon, I will add the Lepidotes to the Ancient Fishes thread. It's not like there are a lot to work with!

I cant see it

Apparently Google photos is completely useless now.

But I can share a link to the photos.

Plecos:

Dunkleosteus:

At least until I can find a better way.

Wow ! I didn't see the previous pictures eithe, - they are absolutely awesome
The plecos look great also, - they look tiny ?

Sean, I edited your original post using pictures directly from Google without resizing them. I just copied the picture address and used the button insert image that you can find while entereing/editing a post on forum.
Congratulations for your new figures and remember that STS and ATF are compatible so you can copy directly from a forum to the other.

Thanks Roger.

I didn't think of that method, although I think I am missing a step somewhere. Google has made things unnecessarily difficult these days.

FOLLOW UP--I still can't quite figure out where you got the working address! PM me the details please!

Thanks. And yes, they are very little figures, maybe 5cm.

Great now i see it. Really nice newcomers :)

Congrats on your new finds.
The Dunkleosteus at first sight is nice, but then there is Metallic Terminator head, raptor lizard skin, scutes, comb-like fins,...
There is too much going on for me to make it look....balanced?
I guess I like the Safari ltd. one better too, heh.

Yeah, I definitely find this one to be better:

(someone tell me this worked!)

I can see Safari's Dunky.
It worked.

It is a lovely model , and I just love mine, because it was one of the first trades I got from a member of this forum .
When I got it , I thought it was just a "funny fish", - how wonderful to realize how much I have learned from this forum
