Show Us Yours - October 2019 - Venomous Creatures

Christophe asked me to start the October SUY since we had a tie (and late start) in September. Actually, it is more appropriate for me to start a topic on 'venomous creatures' in October as we celebrate Halloween this month! :)

Ideas for this post:
-venomous snakes and lizards
-stinging insects
-venomous spiders, scorpions, centipedes
-poisonous amphibians
-venomous fish
-venomous octopi, jellyfish, etc.
-the platypus :-)
-many others

I am at work right now, so I am going to be lazy and start this thread with a copy-paste of the Takara Tomy A.R.T.S. Venomous Snakes collection:

1. inland taipan, Oxyuranus microlepidoptus.

Must haves

I only collect prehistoric figures, and there aren't many that are known to be venomous. So I can't contribute, but I'm excited to watch :)

The deadliest spider, the Sydney funnel weaver, Atrax robustus. Clockwise from top: Science & Nature; Cadbury - Yowies (Australia); Cadbury - Yowies (UK); Takara Tomy A.R.T.S.

You don't have a JP Dilophosaurus laying around?

Great start Blaine, The Takara Tomy snakes set is a miss in my collection and I'm not surprised it reached your shelves. I still always think I will catch a set one day but there is so much things I want to catch...

LOL, you know, I probably do, somewhere among the boxes of things to sell/trade.

Do jellyfishes count?

Very very very nice

These are two venomous species in the genus Hapalochlaena: the greater blue-ringed octopus (H. lumulata) by K&M International and the blue-lined octopus, (H. fasciata) by Kaiyodo.

Interesting Kaiyodo figure and interesting specie. I cant remember to see that before
