Interesting collections, with so many beautiful amphibians!

I managed to finally gather most of my amphibians into pictures, so now I can share them here.


The frog on the upper left might be my first frog. The fishing lure frog below I also got when I was very young, from a zoo gift shop. On the right: K&M International southern two-lined salamander, unbranded tiny crested newt, glow-in-the-dark emperor newt


That's all, for now!

Hey @A.R.Garcia, question--who made the emperor newt? I've never seen one as a figure.

Sean, I know you're not asking me but I think you can find the answer [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

That's excellent to know. It sounds like it's pretty hard to find in painted form

Actually I think we don't know anything about Great Explorations. The other figure we know is what seems to be a eyed ladybug on Blaine's collection. Another very unusual animal. It seems Walmart sells glow-in-the-dark stars branded Great Explorations, I have no idea if it is the same brand.
Interesting in that picture is also the K&M two-lined salamander, probably the same mould as this fire salamander.

Most of the time, K&M would reuse the same mold for several species, so that's very likely.

Thanks Sean, I must study which of all these species fits better the mould to join to my team. :)

Time to update my salamanders, both Kitan and the Safari great crested newt are new additions.

I can promise you that the blue salamander does not suit the mould at all!
But it's still pretty unique.

Nice update :) I think the other SUYs wait also of your update

thanks but most of my collection is still not with me. My salamanders are all with me because I started to collect them recently.
However you are right and besides the SUY topics, I really must update my additions topic.

How exciting, we can now see some of our Roger's additions, and I cannot wait to see your additions topic update!
So many beautiful Salamandors, they all look so realistic- maybe they are alive!
I love the Kitan one, definitely a Japanese masterpiece!

Yes, Kitan salamanders look like they're alive. I think the Safari from the Tennessee Aquarium are very nice and lifesized models.
Because of you I noticed I forgot one of my salamanders, a Safari, unfortunately not the Tennessee Aquarium but the little mudpuppy from the Great Lakes Toob.

found on a flea market..

 .. and with more little ones arrived in a lot.

 Do they realy exist?

so cute Alain! especially the tiny ones it's like they are wearing gloves and socks

Do you know their brands or can you sort them in sets? I believe almost all of them are identifiable to the species level.

The little ones are just marqued "made in China" and there is no mark at all on the others.. :)

Could you group those of the same set of the Dendrobates leucomelas and take a picture for me?

It is the first picture Rogério! :)

OK, so here are my guesses.
I think this set is identifiable with the usual doubts.
First is hard to tell, maybe Oophaga pumilio “Cauchero” but very doubtfull.
The other models intend likely to represent:
Strawberry dart frog
Panamanian golden frog
Yellow-banded poison dart frog
Blue poison dart frog

  OK Thank you Rogério!
 
I finaly found they all are marked "poison frog Safari Miami made in China" but it's carved so little!..
