It is fantastic! However, there is still a lot to be added. At least it is not a Toy Minor page anymore.

Good one!

However, when I went back to Toys'R'Us, last Friday, I saw that the Toy Major Buckets (Sealife, Dinosaurs, Farm, etc) are containing smaller and smaller figures. Back in 2002, the Sealife Bucket contained two large whales, one large octopus and many AAA Knock-offs of respectable sizes. In 2010, the Toy Major Sealife Bucket didn't have AAA Knock-offs anymore, but many original figures; however, all of them were in a smaller size than in 2002. Last Friday, I saw that the marine animals in the bucket were hardly bigger than my major finger. And lots of space remaining in the bucket. What will we see in eight years? Figures the size of a quarter? Toy Major is slowly turning into Toy Minor, when it comes to the size of its figures...

Hi! Here is my lastest Toy Majot find: a 1995 JELLYFISH. Because of its color and shape, I suspect it to represent a CHRYSAORA ACHLYOS, a giant purple jellyfish called "Black Sea Nettle". I am about to put it on TAI (it is already uploaded), but we will need to create a CHRYSAORA ACHLYOS link in the Taxonomy part of the site.

You promised a surprise and it surpassed my expectations! I Could never guess it. The figure is just fabulous! Congratulations!

The jellyfish is very very interesting.

Thanks! Although, I am aware Toy Major made a second mold of Jelly fish, which looks like a Pela gia Noctiluca. That second mold was available in blue and pink. I remember having seen it in a bucket in Toys'R'Us back in 2000, along with the Black Sea Nettle and many other invertebrates. It was the first and the last time I saw those jellyfishes (until I found by Black Sea Nettle on EBay). I wish I could find that other model.

I do really hope you can find the other jelly.

Sounds like a interesting serie :)

Here is the 1999 Toy Major Styracosaurus I found in the flea market last Sunday. It is now on TAW.

That is actually a really nice model. Congratulations!

Very beautiful figure, Valérie! :)

But it's the other model of jellyfish I would like to find. It seems to be extra rare.

Flea markets can provide many treasures indeed.

Here are what I found in the flea market last Sunday: a 2009 Toy major Ankylosaurus and a Toy Major rhinoceros.

I especially like the rhinoceros

I agree, the African rhino is really interesting. Is it also marked 2009? It is probably also marked with a letter, these indicators are essential to sort these models.

Beautiful models, I love the Rhino!

The rhino is not marked 2009, it is a much earlier model. I can look again for the exact markings if you like.

Sorry, it is already on TAW, I haven't noticed and it is from 1998.

Am I quick or what!

As it turns out, I have the figures of that exact sealife bucket!
