Discovery Science Sharks Isle of Jaws sharks set!

I already put these on Twitter, but wanted them here as well.

Walmart USA sold two sets of sharks from Discovery Science as part of their 30th Anniversary. I think the set names are based on shows, but I have no idea.

Again, thanks to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] for getting these for me!

Again, each set is a box of 10 figures. There are species pictured and named on the back. The figures aren't marked...and the pictures/animal names don't always match well or at all with the figures in the set. So sometimes I had to take wild stabs at the species of the model...

This one is called Isle of Jaws. No idea what it's about, but probably something to do with Great White Sharks, since there are two in the set. Maybe something about a place with a bunch of white sharks in the area. And some deep sea sharks? No idea.

Next a Carpet shark. Shaped like Brachaelurus Blind shark but body colour is off.
Unique species as a figure? Maybe? Tough to ID to species...or genus
Correct photo on the box? Sort of? Definitely a carpet shark. But kind of crosses between wobbegongs and blind shark
Represents species well? Maybe. Kinda
Display worthy? Maybe

This one hurt. Box says Sevengill shark. It is not (it has 5 gills). It's kind of Glyphis-like so I’ll go with that. It could be some other carcharhinid but not sure what.
Unique species as a figure? As Glyphis? Yes, other than the one in the Alien sharks set
Correct photo on the box? Pfft.
Represents species well? Ummm...
Display worthy? Sure, if it represents a Glyphis.

Unique species as a figure? No
Correct photo on the box? If you squint
Represents species well? If you’re generous
Display worthy? No

Again, find them if you can, they're reasonably priced with some interesting species.

Very, very inteesting !!!
Several species I never heard of before, and the models are nice

Thankyou very much for this great topic, with you wonderfully careful descriptions and perfect photos

Hurraaay ! This morning I already learned something new

Very very interesting, that is what i like.

Same here like in the other topic :)

Undoubtfully an interesting set of pirats.
Great presentation and let's see if I find some motivation to start entering them on TAI.

This is a very interresting set, not all of the batch but some are really appetizing

The Angular Rough shark and the Pyjama shark are absolute must have. Too bad shipping fees from US are really too expensive.
