I am really not a fan of the Encyclopedia of living creatures style, nevertheless thanks Blaine for your dedication to this topic

And more sharks:

This is an example of what I'd call Bandai's recent horror-movie style. I think that they have quite a macabre look. Does anyone agree or is it just me?

I will tell you when the whole batch will be with me

The sharks set is more interesting than the frogs set. At least it shows more variability.

The frogs are also far less realistic

Which species of sawshark do we think it is? A Japanese sawshark?

Yes

Bandai Display model Dinosaurs collection 3: Allosaurus, Stegosaurus, Pteranodon, Citipati

Expected Dec. 2024: Diversity of Life on Earth - Stag Beetles Vol. 9:

1. Dorcus hopei binodulosus
2. Odontolabis lacordairei
3. Allotopus moellenkampi babai
4. Allotopus moellenkampi moseri
5. Prosopocoilus astacoides
6. Prosopocoilus astacoides (brown)

The P. astacoides is 'technically' a new species as a figure, although most of us think the K&M polybag figure was modeled after this species.

Amazing models, especially the shark set and the Stag Beetles
