And we even know they will be out in April! I think I already know where the figure of the year is coming from...everyone likes bichirs, right?

Thanks Sean for sharing that information with us. Isn't the concept somewhat similar to your personal project?
A bichir, of course, everybody wants a bichir.
Plastic and soft? It means they have solide and hollow versions? They look great!

For one thing, these will be much bigger, part of the Soft Model line, which are solid PVC figureson bases (roughly 15-25cm long). So bigger than my line!

But there is a coelacanth as part of their other line, which is much larger, soft vinyl models (they have done a variety of dinos and prehistoric animals).

Nice fishes :) but very huge

As Andreas says : very big. But gosh, they are beautyful

They're really not soooo big. Other than that big vinyl Coelacanth. That one would be huge.

Curious, your comment also gives me the impression that they are really big. It is maybe because we don't know that coelacant. Everything is relative.

My guess is that they wil be similar in size to the other Soft Models:



This Dunkleosteus is described by Favorite as 15.5cm long and 15.5cm tall--which must be measuring as a vertical and horizontal, not along the fish itself!

The big Vinyl Dunkleosteus is listed by Favorite as 37cm long (I don't have that one).

So they are large--bigger than Colorata or FaunaFigures Fishes, but good display shelf size!

BIg interesting fishes.

thanks for your information.

So the fish are now listed on the (Japanese version of the) Favorite website:

Overall, the prices are not bad. Getting them from Japan will be tricky, but not impossible.
