Megaptera's Collection

And again, a newcomers: the Giant Tortoise from Mojo, which I think is the best Volcan Alcedo Tortoise:

Lovely tortoise

Very interesting

It's tortoise fever! Now I'll be putting this one on my wishlist.

Now you're starting a tortoise revolution. I can see clearly that Mojö's tortoise is a fantastic model but I admire you for being able of identifying it as a Volcan Alcedo Tortoise.

After all your tortoise identifications, I think we need a thread with an overlook I´ve the feeling that I´m lost with my tortoises^^
Nice additions by the way!

Thank you, everyone. It was really hard work. I checked every detail and so, I can clearly say that the Tortoise from Mojo is the Volcan Alcedo one and the Papo Tortoise is the Aldabra one.

I couldn't resist, so add the Papo Spinosaurus to my collection. When I was 4 years old, I already was a big fan of this Theropode. I think it's the dinosaur that has undergone the most changes of all extinct species. And with the newest finds, even the tail of the Papo version is absolutely accurate.

Fantastic, Michael! I absolutely love this figure. I am being able of finding good excuses to get it but that is a unmissable figure. It is just fantastic, exciting, super-detailed, a collectible that will soon turn into a rare piece and it has also a lot to tell about all the researches around the Spinosaurus.
In a personal opinion, I enjoy much more this interpretation of the animal than the previous one, a sailed animal with a croc like head with the previous posture didn't worked at all to me. Now it looks a plausible beast and one of the coolest creatures this planet ever witnessed.

You collect dinosaurs too? Interesting

Thank you, everyone.
From 2000 to 2002, I've collected some Schleich Dinosaurs. In 2011, I've got the brown bipedal Spinosaurus from my wife. And now, I've got the newest version of this species.

My newcomers: the Safari Green Moray Eel, Safari Silky Shark, Bullyland European Hamster, Mojö Wolverine and a Hermit Crab from AAA, where I have to check the species:

All really great models, let us know if you find a good match for your crab.

you are probably never going to get a reliable ID on this crab and the colors are artificial as well. Hermit crab morphology is based on the crab, not the shell it's in, and this figure is too simplified.

Thank you, everyone.

Maybe, I will find a match for this Crab model. I think the colouration is a bit too bright. But sometimes, I will find a proper species.

Lovely additions!!

Thank you, Taos

Rare catches again

Thank you, Andreas

I think the Hermit Crab could be a quite simple model of the blueband Hermit Crab.

It could be a dozen or more different things

Great additions of some amazing figures

Thank you, Adam

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]: yes, it's really too generic. I will let it in my collection as a Blueband Hermit Crab until I get a better model. Or do know a better species for this model?

If you find a better figure of the species I'll be happy to take it under my wing :)

Yes. Yujin made one, and that figure was re-released by Takary Tomy when they took over the set.
