Megaptera's Collection

Finally, I've got my last christmas present from a good old friend. Now, the CollectA Amur Tiger, the Secretary Bird and the Cameroon Sailfin Chameleon:)
My collection contains now 404 species and subspecies:)

I like your collection :)

Thank you:)

404 is a very iconic number, it is the number we don't want to see while using internet and an emblematic French model car with a lion! That's a great trio, secretary bird and the chameleon are not common species in toy shape. Though, I believe most of the tigers represented are Amur tigers in fact. I like that the CollectA figure was made to the subspecies level and marketed like that and to be fair, it looks good.

I think that most of them are Bengal Tiger. Because only the Bengal Tiger is able to produce the "White Tiger". But I think the female one with her child in mouth from Papo could represent a Malayan Tiger.

As I already told you before, your observations about species are very interesting. I think it could be very useful if you could bring the discussion of a certain species or subspecies in the walk around topics of these figures. It could be done whenever you want but it is not a problem that you bring back a topic even if it is not active for a long time. I am sure it could bring more discussion to the subject.

Ok, this week I want to do a walkaround to present the Sunda Gavial from Schleich. Later, I can also bring some details about subspecies level of Tigers.

Happy of knowing it and I am really excited about the ghavial topic.

Nice!

Beautyful

Please, what brand are the deep sea fishes round the salmon from Safari ?

Wonderful :)

The deep sea fish are from DeAgostini.

There are some annoying light spots on the Orca, Minke Whale and Bowhead Whale

I love your Whalarium! You have such a great variety of animals!

Thank you:)

I put out my older Giraffe, because I found out, that this Schleich Giraffe represents quite good an Angolian Giraffe:

Thanks to my best friend again, I've got two new animals. The Blue-striped Butterflyfish from Bullyland and the Tamandua from Mojo:)

Those are surely great figures! Your ability of finding good species and subspecies identifications to some models does really help us re-discovering an extra-interest in some old figures.

Very nice additions :)

The Coloratas from Sauroid arrived today:)

First: the Colorata Jacobita and the Clymene Dolphin (the colour shape is more typical here)
