That was a true bargain by my standards

You Americans are so spoiled with prices

For me it was a bit pricey, and more than I had to spend at that moment... I hope to return to that flea market soon and will check back with that vendor. (they've been there quite awhile)

He had a cute older looking AAA orangutan also, hiding a banana behind his back.

As I remember, the adult tortoise looked just like your photo, but was marked 'Made in China D.M. 1990'

WOW ! That souds like a wonderful Orangutan. I have necver see one

If tyou see an AAA Siamussy, please, please think of me

I will be sure to double check for an AAA Siamussy, though I don't remember noticing any cats at all besides wild big ones. We have Siamese in my family, so I do watch for them.

I will check on that orangutan also.

Here are some that I used to own.

Nice figurines :)

The “notched turtle” is more likely the (mainland Southeast Asian) black-breasted leaf turtle, Geoemyda spengleri, not the Ryukyu black-breasted leaf turtle, Geoemyda japonica. It was probably assigned to that species because the page already existed. It is more likely a mainland species.

There are a few more tortoises and water turtles:
There is another “notched turtle” that is actually a keeled box turtle:[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Not to be confused with the figure actually marked as “keeled box turtle”; that is a Russian tortoise and almost the same mold as the basic tortoise figure.

Jumbo Tortoise: this is probably the “Desert Tortoise” in the list of AAA Turtles on ToyAnimal.info.

Blanding(‘s) Turtle:

I do not own the photos: photos are from Veghead.com’s eBay store and used with permission.

These turtles are wonderful, AAA have made some beautiful models!

Please put the photos on ToyAnimal.info

The Blanding's Turtle is now on Toy Animal Wiki. I will put the Jumbo Tortoise there when I'm 100% sure it is the Desert Tortoise (still not so familiar with chelonians, so, I need to make more reaearch).

All turtles and tortoises now on TAW.

The other “Notched Turtles” are most likely cast from the more common mainland Southeast Asian species simply called “black-breasted leaf turtle” than the comparatively much more obscure and hard-to-source Ryukyu leaf turtle.

And what should I do about that?

I think they may need to be changed from “Ryukyu black-breasted leaf turtle” to “black-breasted leaf turtle”, but more research may need to be done.

Any ideas of this tortoise?[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I have seen the Radiated Tortoise! It looks like we have forgotten to put that on the wiki.

Another nice catch

Are these pictures yours? If so, are they supposed to be used on TAW. We still miss the radiated tortoise.

Whenever they are ready to be put on TAW, I will do it. But if we need to make new species pages, well, I will leave that to Roger, because I fear to make everything explode if I try to do it.

Hey Roger!! Those are my pictures and you can definitely put on TAW. Any photo is place on here is done by me and you have my permission to use any of my photos for TAW

Hahah! It is because you tried first with a giant grenadier and you should start with a balloonfish instead.

Thanks, I will let the work to @Bowhead Whale since the radiated tortoise page already exist.
I added you to a usergroup called TAW on forum to not forget that you allow the use of your pictures.
