Megaptera's Collection

Congratulations for your new Yowies invasion. Do you know, I like that Papo manthis, I have the spider and the scorpion and it seems another Papo arthropod is getting my atention.

Thanks Roger:)
The Mantis really is a masterpiece. I also have the scorpion, which is also really astonishing.

And today, another Arthropod arrived. The CollectA Monarch Butterfly:

Nice addition :)

The butterfly looks wonderful in your pictures. About the Papo arthropods, I won't regret if you decide to get the spider.

Ok, but first I have talk to my wife. She hates spiders

Today, my newcomers arrived, the Safari Ltd Olm and Menelaus Blue Morpho and the Bullyland Common Wasp:

It's nice to see these arthropods infiltrating your collection. That Safari olm is interesting...it looks almost translucent. Other posted models are clearly solid pink in color.

My olm is painted pink, sort of a fleshy/ salmon pink color. I haven't seen a clear plastic one, maybe yours is unpainted? Or the "paint" is updated from my figure? At any rate, it's a very cool figure and I'd love one like it for my collection. Great finds overall!

Thank you, Blaine. I'm really happy with them, especially the Monarch Butterfly and the Common Wasp.
The Olm really is nearly translucent. I couldn't find the ''normal'' model, but Sandspielfiguren.de had this one.

I found the Olm at Sandspielfiguren.de

According to this website, it is the 2016 version.

I cannot tell from the pic (because it is clear), but did they fix the rear feet? Olms should have two toes on their rear feet and the initial release of the Cave Dwellers set had an olm with three toes on its rear feet!

No, it's still a mutant and has three toes. Maybe someone wanted to repeat the communists' Axolotl experiment

Finally, after six months, the models from Sauroid arrived: the Japanese Pinecone Fish, the Fire Goby and the Yellow Longnose Butterfly Fish, the Colorata Tuatara, the Furuta Moon Jellyfish, the Masked Palm Civet, the Japanese Crested Ibis, the Red-Crowned Crane, the Kohaku Koi, the Common Leopard Gecko, Japanese Giant Flying Squirrel and the Carolina Anole:)
