Innovative Kids miniature copies of huge Smithsonian insects

I recently got a bunch of insects, some Toy Major, some marked with a "K" that has a dot on the first vertical line. I guess that this is the logo of "Innovative Kids".

Indeed most of the IK insects were 1:1 copies of the Toy Major insects, see picture:

But these 4 little fellas got my special interest, since they are indeed very exact miniature copies of the big famous Smithsonians.

See them together with their larger siblings:

They are so very cute and I was wondering if there are more of these. Does anyone know something about these?

Interesting, i like the smaller versions :)

Those are incredible! It is usual that these Publishing companies use known molds. We could see it with dinosaur series too. Our friends of ATF are a very good source for bugs and Blaine, has almost the entire set
This is one more Groovy Tube Book, Bug Blast, from Innovative Kids!

Fabulous finds

Thankyou for sharing, and for the great pictures, - comparisons and all

I know that Blaine just listed out everything on the ATF.

I didn't even think of those sets...We have the arctic, reptiles, mythical, monsters and magical beasts sets! And the Gone Extinct.

I mentioned Blaine's topic in my post but he has no reference to species. What do you mean with "we have"?

Sounds good--if you need a list or anything, let me know.

Interesting pics. Thank you, i especially like the puffin :)

I gotta say, my favourite has to be the flea. Not because I like fleas (WHO DOES?!), but because it´s just so unusual!

Roger, with the exception of the monarch and the luna moth, you will never get a species name on any of these; the flea can be assigned to the genus Ctenocephalides. The others are all way TOO generic.
