Corrections for Toy Animal Wiki

That's what I wondered. Thanks Roger. This guy has a spelling mistake in its name too.

Fixed too as well as both pages linking to it. That's another 10 years old mistake. It was when the Bullyland section was being massively built and when the job is immense, little mistakes happen easily.

No worries Roger! I am just slowly going through and reconstructing my wishlist since the wiki upgrades. I will let you know if there is anything else I come across.

The Blip Toys flying frog should possibly be R. nigropalmatus (Wallace's flying frog) rather than the green flying frog:

I moved it according to your suggestion although it's not easy to tell for sure.
I see the webbing of the toes of the Blip Toys figure is fully extended up to the tip of the toes which matches the Wallace's webbing layout. Though, I can't see if the coloration is correct. The dark webbbing is common to both species, I guess.

I agree with Blaine, it fits better with R. nigropalmatus.

Thanks for giving you opinion. It is important to have a 2nd opinion when the identification is not obvious.

I am working on the Lisanto page. This one was designed a long time ago based on the information we had about the Far-west toy production.
I'm trying to update it a little bit according to the models I have and that I can compare and weigh.
If anyone has any information about this brand, especially about animals series, I'm interested.

It was brought to my attention that the snake in the Safari River TOOB is a smooth green snake:

https://toyanimalwiki.mywikis.wiki/wiki/Safari_681804_Smooth_green_snake

However, Safari made no claims that that is what it is. Actually, on the text on the right sidebar of their website, they mention a 'water snake' which usually refers to members of the genus Nerodia.

It is really marketed as water snake, do you mean Nerodia cyclopion? Well, this is Kiki's figure, maybe I'll let it to him.

Nerodia cyclopion is a great choice

Why I opted for a smooth green snake nine years ago is and will remain a mystery to me.

If you insist on putting a Latin name on it, just leave it at the genus level

Thanks for fixing it Christophe and also thanks to Blaine for pointing it.

I uploaded a while ago Here I found the proof that the andrewsarchus mini Playvisions figure is a Hyaenodon due to the similarity and is erroneously classified as an andrewsarchus due to the written name I had uploaded a publication of andrewsarchus or Hyaenodon and indeed the mini Playvisions figure of andrewsarchus is a Hyaenodon

It's a debate that never ends, some collectors have "proof" that it's an Andrewsarchus and others that it's a Hyaenodon. I no longer have any of these models but I remember that the large one had "Prehistoric Hyena" on its belly and nothing ever convinced me that it was an Andrewsarchus... I was in the minority...

My perception is that the larger figure resembles an Andrewsarchus while the smaller figure resembles a Hyaenodon. The only characteristic that makes me have this opinion is the fact that the larger figure has a more elongated skull, while the smaller figure appears to have a shorter and squarer head. This is an apparent and subjective perception. In reality, I do not have the ability to provide a definitive answer, and any opinion is equally plausible to me.
Also, my opinion contradicts the markings.

I feel that the manufacturers s They were wrong to put the names like that The model that does look very similar is safari ltd but if we see it well The little one would be a Hyaenodon but si The name does not help much although it will continue to be unknown

https://toyanimalwiki.mywikis.wiki/wiki/Japanese_five-lined_skink

The two Yujin Japanese five-lined skinks are Plesiodon latiscutatus, not P. japonicus. The paperwork accompanying the figures indicates as such (both species occur in Japan)

The two Ikimon figures are correct, however, as the NTC website specifically calls them P. japonicus

I opened a page for Okada's five-lined skink (P. latiscutatus).
On the other hand, I've found [/url]this page called five-lined skink is actually devoted specifically to the American five-lined skink. Are these two identifiable to the species level or this page should just be to generic five-lined skinks?

the Wing Mau/Club Earth skink should indeed be the North American species since everything from that set is North American.

Thanks, the Toy Major series is similar to the Wing Mau so I think it's worth to rename the page to American five-lined skink.

yes, Toy Major drew heavy inspiration from Club Earth and others, so we can assume probably safely that the TM skink is also American

Dear Sts Friends:

Hey guys, has anyone looked at the AAA reptile section of TAW lately? Because I have some useful info concerning AAA reptiles. This information was found via Veghead.com.

Here is a list of what I found:

Asian Cobra AAA

Asian Cobra young AAA

Purple egyptian Cobra AAA

Purple egyptian cobra young AAA.

Anyway, I think there are several more entries that are on veghead that we don't have listed on TAW. Either way, something needs to be done. I'm also planning on ordering some of these snakes for myself. Sadly, I can't provide pictures. Also, did you know that AAA made not only a green tegus lizard, but a brown version too? Well, that's a surprise! Anyway, I'm probably going to get the green one. I so totally wish I could send you pictures, but at the moment that's impossible. Also, all the AAA cobras listed on veghead do have posable necks, for those of you who like that thing. Some of these are quite large, so just be aware of that before you buy. Oh dear, what have I done? I mean, it's not like I'm advocating or whatever for veghead, I'm simply supplying information. As far as the information goes, do with it as you will. I hope this helps with the completion of the AAA section.

Interesting information

Could it be that the Play Visions (and Yujin) should be a Ouraeus snake and the desert cobra a other specie?
