That is a really cute dolphin
Congratulations

Thank you very much Susanne!!

Nice. I thought about getting it as well but i couldn't make the species sure so could you find out about it ?

Congrats Andreas! Its very cute!

Many thanks Kelsey and Philipp

And no Philipp, at the moment not.

Congrats Andreas, a nice spotted Atlantic dolphin, the colour is off, but ok, nobody made a really good one untill now...

Hey Willy, nice to see you're still alive!
Do you really think this is a Stenella frontalis? Spots,..indeed. But proportions etc?
but there's a lack of alternatives,...

Yes Philipp, i think it was ment to be this species, but you know that some makers are not very accurate....

Thank you Willy!!! I think you are right Willy, also we have no alternatives here.

It seems so, as i don't aspect a painter working underwater who is making bottlenose dolphins spotted...

Many thanks, now i need more informations. It looks that it was a very interesting brand with a few interesting species :)

They made at least four different dolphins, all clearly from the same mold.

Thank you very very much. You have always very interesting informations. The spinner will be now on my wishlist.

That is really very interesting! As you allowed previously the use of your pictures at Toy Animal Wiki, I entered these also, however, if you don't agree, I can always remove them. They are introduced as common bottlenose dolphin, short-beaked common dolphin and clymene dolphin. Maybe the last one should be introduced as a spinner dolphin as you also pointed but I am not sure which is the best match. Figures are based in a single mould and we cannot determine their species based on morphology. Whatever is it a spinner or a clymene, it is the first representing these species at the wiki.

Roger, you are welcome to use any photo I post

I also just remembered that I have these W.A.I. seals...

...and Humboldt penguin

I've also seen a gray version of the seal on ebay.

Interesting figurines

I've added also these seals and the penguin to the wiki. Is there any kind of identification known to the species? How do you know it is an Humboldt and not an African penguin?

There's no species identification on the figures, but only Humboldts have that much pink skin around the beak.
