I just noticed now, any idea what the other fish are with the sturgeon? They look familiar but I can't place them.

The sturgeon is gorgeous, but the accessory fish is probably a unique species.

It's Banded Catfish Pelteobagrus fulvidraco.

That's cool. Definitely not a fish that's been a figure before!

If only the takin wasn't on a base and bigger

Could you please share informations about the sea horse serie? Especially pics of the magnet figures please (the side of the magnets please too)?

Sato has given his hand-painted mold making and division instructions to the factory, and the factory will divide the prototype according to the instructions and make the molds according to different materials.

Good news, that sounds like they will really be produced! After all the excitement, it would be so disappointing if they didn't produce them.

Hey Dirk.

Do you happen to have a list of the species names yet? I assume not but some of my buyers have asked.

Thanks.
Brett

You are right, I did forget the monkey. And the pangolin is the secret figure shown (not in color) and mentioned on a previous page of this discussion

Thanks, Dirk, and Endo...

I love how realistic these animals are, the tiger is very nice but they would be perfect if they didn't have bases!

I like this base, it makes me feel like in a nature museum, maybe because I see these figures as works of art and like to watch them there instead of playing like toys.

In fact, I have discussed the base of Japanese figures with others on the forum, and I have never understood why some people don’t like the base.

Earlier on in my collecting career, I liked everything uniform.

Now, I really appreciate the variety (of bases (or lack thereof)) and how interesting they can make a display.

I did just, btw, finally think to ask my source in Japan to see if he can contact Ikimon to get some release information (China or both China and Japan and date(s)).

Will update ASAP.

Thanks for the new images, Dirk.

I do still love the animals and would never not add an animal with a base into my collection, I would just probably pick an animal without a base over one with a base simply due to the fact that I feel they are more like living animals without a base!
But these are still certainly very beautiful and thank you so much for sharing them!

I think I can understand it.

By the way, the base can be removed.

Thank you for letting me know, they are lovely animals so I may consider one!
