COLORATA Sharks of the world box

I would like to show you the "Sharks of the world" box. I had it for a long time now but I didn't managed to share pics on STS  

COLORATA produced this box in 2004 and it is still available, despite the production of the "Sharks DX" box.


And now here are some pics of the 12 sharks species you can find in the box

Really, really nice Kiki! Congratulations and thank You for sharing!

They are awesome , - lucky macaque

Thankyou very much for sharing .

It is great to see some more full sets of these magnifique Japanese models
They will be an important part of the reviews both to enjoy again and again, - and as reference in the future.
I hope very much to see more sets ( Not because I don`t like to see them one at a time, of course !!!!!)

What a nice set! Thank you for posting these great pictures Christophe!

A phantastic set- you know i love this models

Thank you all for your nice comments

I've found the complete set finally!
A little late on this great tread. Thanks for presenting, again a topic to be visited and revisited.

Thank you Rogério

These sharks are beautiful, do not have a base to support them as with the whales?

Thanks for sharing!

This sharks set is the "Shark of the world" box made in 2004. COLORATA also made a Marine mammals set in those years without a base too.


Later the brand produced a "Sharks DX" and a "Marine Mammals DX" sets with basis.  

Thanks very much! I like a lot with de basis! The sharks seems awesome!

I only had this two set and might consider the others two. Thanks for sharing!

Congrats Ken    

@Kikimalau - can you confirm from the booklet in the first set, the manta ray was indicated as M. birostris?

I ask because in 2009 (5 years after the set came out), M. alfredi was lifted from synonomy with M. birostris, and the figure is morphologically M. alfredi.

Thanks!

Alas I can't tell, the set is from 2004 and at that time Colorata booklets were leaflets. Everything was in Japanese except the English name.
I agree with you it is M. alfredi, even Colorata agree since the size noted on leaflet is 3 to 5 meters.
I change the name a stupid macaque wrote in 2013.
It is teh only Manta ray I have now in my collection and I hope I will find an accurate M. birostris to crowd more my shelves.

The 2018 Safari manta is nicely sculpted and painted to be M. birostris (and scales well with the Colorata M. alfredi) :)

Thank you Blaine !
