I am so glad you decided to show your frogs and also snakes on the other SUY. I didn't know you had so many!

That's all, for now!

Phantastic collection Andy :)

Andy, that's quite impressive! I have so many questions that I am letting it to a future occasion. Great presentation and it is very nice that you describe everythin on your pictures.

Great collection Andy, you have some exquisite models I would love to catch

Thanks guys.  This was my first SUY contribution, and I have a soft spot for amphibians, so I tried to do justice to them.

Rogério, I'll look forward to any questions.
Christophe, I know you also have gems that do not appear in my pictures.

Here a trio of fire salamanders, all we can find on TAI! , apparently rarer in toy shape than Diplocaulus! The two Bullyland, larger and smaller, I received today, both gifts from Yvette! In the middle, the superb Safari Tennessee Aquarium also from Yvette.
All may be considered lifesized once fire salamanders can grow exceptionally to really large creatures as it is the older Bullyland figure. They may also represent different subspecies as we can see in this website.

Nice fire salamanders :)

Those are very nice, Roger, congratulations! I don't collect amphibians, but I think I'm falling in love with salamanders Thanks for sharing!!

I'm happy that the salamanders arrived well in Portugal.
It´s a very nice photo with three different models together.
The salamanders are a small "thank you gift" for your great work on TAI. In the meantime, TAI has become an important lexicon of figures for me, which often gives me an answer to my questions.

Thanks Andreas, Julie and Yvette! Julie, salamanders are wonderful creatures, just read about their peculiar abilities and you'll see.  75senta75 wrote:

Thanks Yvette, those are very conforting words to me and surely a motivation to keep working on TAI. The most pleasant thing is to know it is useful to everyone.
