A trade

Sadly I don´t think so

Wonderful cetaceans collection very pleasant and useful to visit thanks to the names and brands indications!

I hope you have big shelves!

Thank you so much. It is fun to see them from all kind of brands together.

Thanks both :) I have big shelves, but even they are getting too small

Thank you very much, that's very useful! The Recur sperm whale and M&B beluga are now on my search list.

A wonderful collection of whales and dolphins

It is from a set named 'mini aquatic collection' which comes in a polybag.

I visited Stockholm for one day with my wife and my daughter. We also visited the ABBA museum together. I was faster as my family and so i decided to visit the Skansen Aquarium across the street too. After my round, in the little shop, i found that set with the porpoise.

Thank you Andreas, and congrats on finding that set! Hope you had fun in Stockholm.

Oh yes i had.

What a wonderful collection you have

You also have many very rare models

Thank you Megaptera!

Today I received the wonderful Colorata Marine Mammals DX box. A must have for cetacean collectors!

Many of these are among the most accurate figures of their species (except the orca ) though most are quite small.

Then, earlier I received a lot containing various sea creatures, mostly whales including most of the Larami's. It included the beluga and narwhal, and with that my Larami whale collection is complete. Almost all the others were duplicates but there were also these three figures which intrigued me... they look like AAA, but are marked Maia&Borges. They're somewhere between the size of the larger AAA and AAA mini figures. The orca looks rather funny

Wonderful group shots of all the cetaceans!
