Species identification topic

Indeed it could be

Does anyone have an idea of what species these crabs could be? I'm unsure of their brand. Is the bottom left crab an Atlantic marsh fiddler crab? That's the only fiddler crab I know as it is popular in my area. I'm not sure what the other 3 are, if they even are real species.

these are Play Visions knockoffs and in these paint jobs here don't represent real species. The originals are:
top left: helmet crab
top right: striped shore crab
bottom left: Mexican fiddler crab
bottom right: purple globe crab

Thank you! I figured that they were knockoffs of some kind but I wanted to know for sure, thanks this really helps me out!

Wondering what species these could possibly be? My guess is that the black scorpion is an emperor scorpion but I'm not sure on the other species (or if they are even identifiable).

Hmm, I don't know. I wondered about the jellyfish too. 

What kind of hummingbird is this (from Kabaya)?

This Kabaya hummingbird was part of a set of Amazon animals. It came with an accompanying card with a photograph of an actual hummingbird. Given the morphology of the bird in the photograph and the Amazon theme, I have identified it in my collection as the blue-tailed emerald, Chlorostilbon mellisugus. The photo on the card appears to show an immature male (maybe female) C. mellisugus, and the figure is a stylized version of what is on the card. I think at the very least, Chlorostilbon is a safe bet. I used illustrations in 'All the Birds of the World' and images on eBird to assist.

Thanks a lot, and sorry, I only see this now. Yes, that makes sense.

What species is this monkey?

It could be a lot of things in the Cercopithecus or Macaca genus. 

More pics maybe ?

It's small, so I was hoping it could be a large species in 1/32 scale. It has quite a pronounced beard.

No idea what the brand is either, probably a Hong Kong knock-off.

The tail is too short for any Cercopithecus. For me this is clearly a macaque and given the lenght of tail, the beard, and how well known it's the species (probably the best known of all macaques), this is a Rhesus macaque, Macaca mulatta.

Thank you very much. That's good news: As a large male rhesus macaque it is 1/32 scale.

The tail is a bit too long for Rhesus macaque but it is the best guess 

Probably the tail lenght is somewhat variable within the species but I don't think the one of the figure is excessively long...

Isidro  I know exactly how to catch you  

By the tail?

Indeed

Now I know why French macaques have very short tails.

What about Papo starfish ?

Asterias rubens, 99% sure :)

I have the Papo starfish databased as the common starfish, Asterias rubens

I was wondering if this Safari Ltd Toob hummingbird from the exotic birds toob has been identified? Or if anyone knows what it might be?

Very hard to tell but maybe you're lucky, some people here is really good with it.
It looks an immature bird that loves hibiscus. Any particular feature to help the identification?

Any idea about the breed ?
