My Favorite Animals

My Favorite Animals is a Japanese-based company/artist that produces realistic resin figures. They have been popping up on the Japanese auctions lately, and I know Brett has been getting requests, so it is a matter of time before they start showing up on our forums.

I started with three crustaceans, two of which are new species for me. They are incredible, and the three I picked are all a good size (length or base width are roughly 7.0-7.5 cm).

I started with:

box crab, Calappa hepatica - new species for me!
slipper lobster, Scyllarus cultrifer - new genus and species for me!
peacock mantis shrimp, Odontodactylus scyllarus - not new but it will replace the Paleo-Creatures figure for my synoptic display collection!

If any of you get figures from this artist/manufacturer, please post them here as well!

They are indeed exceptionally beautyful

And as often before, I am very impressed by the quality of your Photos

But aren't they also exceptionally fragile ?

They have phantastic figures but i am happy that in resin. :)
