Megaptera's Collection

Thank you, Susanne and Roger

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]: I also love the variety of sharks Safari has made. If I had more space, I would add much more of them to my collection. And first, I got the Papo Beluga, which looks really good. But the grey back was not really accurate. Then, I found an interesting article about Belugas and one was shown on an image. It looked exactly like the one from CollectA. So, I started to check this model and it's really accurate. The colouration is beautiful and also the teeth are well made and very accurate. In real, the model looks even better than in the catalogue.

Thanks for your explanations! It is good to know the reasons of your choice, it helps us making our own choices.

Thank you, Andreas. I'm always searching for new interesting species and better versions of species I already have.

Your collections is so similar to mine - LOL, except I have a different beluga (Papo)

Also mine is similar regarding this sense, but for the beluga I've chosen what I considered the best: PNSO's one! The CollectA beluga was during many months (still is, I think) in a stationery near my home, but what I wanted is the other :)

That's right. I also have the Papo Beluga, but it was too Grey for me
And the teeth are also more accurate in the CollectA model. But this model is much larger than the one from Papo. As you can see, it's as large as the Humpback Whale.

And, I like the head shape of the CollectA model:

The PNSO one is also very good

Today, my Safari Great Lakes Toob arrived, so I have now the Great Blue Heron, Canada Goose, American Hering Gull, Little Brown Bat, Yellow Perch, Common Mudpuppy, Hine's Emerald Dragonfly, Lake Erie Water Snake and the Lake Sturgeon:

Lovely array from that amazing toob!

A must have toob

That is a very interesting TOOB from Safari. I hope they continue releasing toobs as nice as this one.

Thank you, everyone
Again, Safari has done a great job. I hope they will add more of such beautiful toobs to their range.

I would buy this toob just for the Canada goose, this is a must-have species !

You are absolutely right. I'm waiting for this model for years. As a child, I always wished to have a Canada Goose model.

very interesting species!

Thank you, Caracal

Today, my newcomers arrived.
After a very interesting discussion about the baby crocodile, I've also made some researches. Indeed, the baby crocodile from Papo could be a Spectacled Caiman. So, this one is now a Spectacled Caiman in my collection:

The next newcomer is the Bottlenose Dolphin from CollectA. All in all, I'm really positively surprised. The fluke could be a bit better, but the sclupt really is amazing and well made. The colouration also is quite good. The mouth is a bit over-painted:

Oh so you got your bottlenose dolphin. Congratulations

Thank you, Advicot. I'm really happy with the Dolphin. The proportions are truly amazing.
