Very interesting for me

Incredibly nicely done

Such intriguing creatures

When I started in this hobby, I often thought about which kind of animals for sure would never have a figure. Barnacles were surely some of them and I was wrong. We were long time educated with brands that always released the same creatures and the Japanese univers presented us loads of species we never thought to see as figures.

This is probably the coolest NTC set ever made.

These are very beautiful! It's neat the way many of them nest together.

This is one of the reasons why I like Japanese figures. There are many unpopular animals.
