How do you know the iten number? Have you got the complete set with the tube? Any year or any additional information? It is really very interesting!

As i said in my zoo news, i also have dont have seen this tube before. Yes, i have the complete set with the tube. There is also a small sticker with " K&M, MNX-2018, Shenzen Lot NO:L2), so i think it is from 2018.
I dont have seen this tube on the wild-republic website but i found that tube bei Minizoo.

I just ordered it too; I can only find it online with Australian dealers. It might have been a special commission (probably such as the kiwis polybag).

Andreas, are the common names on the figures (I don't have mine yet)? If so, the centipede is a new species in toy form!

Thanks. In that case the centipede is indeed a new species and all three snakes will be new for my Synoptic Collection. I am liking this set more and more!

I have a taipan and death adder, but different species of each. I plan on reviewing the set for the Animal Toy Blog once i get it :)

Yes, you have the beautieful Takara set too :)

I got my tube set today; please note it is a bull shark, not a blue shark :-) (at least that is what mine is marked).

another color variation of the rubber sharks (a epaulette shark)

Very spectacular find, Andreas! That is another color of the bamboo and nurse sharks. Is there any chance of your usual photos with the Lego brick and sharper than this one?

Great! Have you ever found the species of your bamboo shark?
I was thinking it could be a juvenile brown-banded bamboo shark, what do you think?

Yes it could be :)

Well, as you and Fernando agree, I will list it as a brown-banded bamboo shark until someone find a better guess. :)

I've seen that news at CNN and the first thing I thought was - if it exists, surely Andreas found it first.
These sharks have very similar patterns and they change with age and it is not easy to identify at all. Obviously yours was not based on these ones but you can use it for any of these species. It just have to match the colours once the mould is the same and doesn't reflect any morphological differences.

And it is too sad that you can not find all informations for a good identify.

I am sure these K&M bamboo sharks are painted according with exact species and their identification should be based on species more popular in aquaria or pet trade. They are also 1993 released figures so, many recently discovered species are out of the battle.
For bamboo sharks, most common are the brown-banded, epaulette's and white-spotted that is an acceptable candidat for your newer acquisition, I guess. As I told, the mould mixes features that don't match an exact species not even an exact genus, we can find features of several carpet sharks mixed. They are marked bamboo shark, aren't they?
Sad is that Safari Ltd, always very precise identifying their figures, also released a bamboo shark without specifying it.

there is also a large Humboldt penguin

Andreas the fish from this tube are in your picture here: the blue and purple fish on the left is the sheephead. you must already own the kelp forest tube or at least part of it.

also 5 of these fish are from the coral reef tube which i do have.

Thank you again Lance, i have in my imagine a other sheephead fish- but now i am happy. I never know that i have this tube    
I have this fishes a long long time, more than 15 years and so i can remember me. Also i had a long period where i dont collect animal figurines really.

Hi Andreas, could you please tell me what is the fish closest to the bottom of the picture, on the left? Species and which tube please?

I will look, but i believe a damselfish. It is from the Kelp Forest tube.

Thanks, but I am looking at the leopard shark from the same tube. I managed to identify it now on TAW.
