AAA Amphibians (frogs, toads and salamanders)

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Here is my Large AAA Toad. I saw it was missing on tAI. It looks to me like an American toad.

Under observation already. There is something very special in these AAA figures, as they seem to be cast from real specimens. Do you know if it is a common toad? :)

If you mean ANAXYRUS AMERICANUS, yes, it looks to me this is it.

I meant Bufo bufo but an American toad seems perfect!

Great model

Nice figurine

I also have a "Narrow-Mouthed Toad" from AAA. It's yellow, Brown and blue in color. Would you like me to post it here?

Surely Valerie, I can rename this topic to be used to AAA amphibians, not many of our most active members use to collect AAA but with a little bit of each collection maybe we can share here an interesting lot of figures. :)

Sounds great Roger! Maybe we can do that with more topic of AA, making it a general of its specie/kind to show more variation?
If Valerie is oke with that of course!

Yes, let's wait for Valerie's opinion.
Meanwhile here are my only AAA amphibians, the lifecycle of a frog... which species?

That sounds cool, but we need to avoid confusion: a member who has, for example, an earth worm, could put it here, yet another member would, at the same, time, put his/her own earth worm in another AAA topic... we need to avoid this kind of situation, no? Let's name this particular topic as "AAA Amphibians". Anyway, here is my AAA Narrow-Mouthed Toad:

I renamed it then. Wonderful narrow-mouth.
Here is a closer picture of my adulte frog from the lifcycle.

How come my American Toad is not on TAI, yet? Did you forget about it?

It is now but not yet the narrowmouth, I added it as the large version of AAA toad, I haven't created that page so I don't know exactly what is supposed to belong to what. Your narrowmouth is waiting.

Nice again :)

Bullyland sold family of green frogs from AAA

I have one . It is not the same paintwork, but isn't it the mould of the young frog ?

Again I wonder what species's they are

It's not the first time I see AAA models being used by other manufacturers. AAA whales have been knocked off many times and their orang-utans were used by Safari ltd back in 1989.

This froggie is not a knock-off .
He is 100 % AAA, just one of the many that Bullyland sold in the '90s, - just like Schleich and Safari did, and many others since then - that is AAAs way of distribution

Finally I could introduce your narrow-mouthed toad, Valérie.
Sometimes the reason why it takes so long is that we can't find a logic way to sort things.
So, apparently there are two families of frogs. A small sized and a large sized, both with 3 figures (male, female and young). There is also a family of toads, a lifecycle and a pair of narro-mouths. I'd love someone to help me with the exact moulds once it is very ahrd for me to distinguish them.

Revisiting this topic I'm convinced the toad of the first post is an European common toad (bufo bufo). The parotoid glands and the extremly warty skin seems more plausible for the European species. Any thoughts about it?

I think it would be very hard to find for sure a species level, it could also be a Caucasian toad (Bufo verrucosissimus) or another Bufo but Anaxyrus is also plausible.

Thanks Crhistophe for taking a look. Looking at those conspicuous structures behind the eyes, they seem to match better those of a common European toad (Bufo bufo) . Though, I'm not sure enough to promote a definitive move.
