According to the website it is a giant salamander, so probably a Pacific Giant salamander! that makes more sense. It didn't strike me for a tiger salamander, but I couldn't think of a better option in North America (since it was in a NA-centric set) |

| Very nice figures! Wouldn't a Hellbender make the most sense for North America? Either way, it could work as any of those species. I'm really impressed with their selection and pricing so far. |

They are very nice for the prices, especially the ones that are solid plastic (and some are) from the new polybag sets. The salamander is one of them that is solid. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

| Wonderful that there is an Hellbender in that polybag! Anotehr good news is that it is solide. An Hellbender is a giant salamander anyway, good to see a different species from the Japanese one. Are there Chinese giant salamanders around? |

I think that Hellbender is the first Wild Republic figure I've wanted in a long time!

I am in the US and can order these but nothing really of interest. There appears to be a hermit crab in the Pets Tube; I am willing to get that if someone wants all of the remaining figures after the hermit crab.
I feel like there is a new renaissance starting in toy animal figures based on companies' releases recently... No, i guess it's a Hellbender, a Cryptobranchus. Who can get me this Polybag? Must-have now, pleeease ![Very Happy](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_biggrin.png) |

there is a figurine showing a hybrid A.japonicus * A.davidianus, made by Kaiyodo. The same mould as the japonicus, just different paintjob,... |
