Shapeway and Neko works figures

[bokisaurus]

Well, so I finally joined the club ;D
I got these figures a while back, but never really got the chance to photograph them.
Both sets of figures are very well crafted... and small. I have been intrigued by the Shapeway figures for a while now, but never got one due to the price. Christmas comes, and along with it some extra $$$ ;D
So I splurged and got the full set of Krentz figures. They are super small, not sure If I can paint them... I may just leave them as they are.

The Group:

T-Rex




Anklo




Trike (my favorite )




Duckbill

I have to say that for such a small figure, they were able to retain some good details, some more than others. I'm not sure how much of it would pop out if repainted, but they are there. Its a bit tricky to photograph them showing the minute details. Overall, highly recommended figures


Next, we hav the Neko Works sharks! Yes, they are awesome figures, and like the Shapeway, comes unpainted.
I only got four figures, I have a few more on order. There are a couple of prehistoric sharks, unfortunately, only one of them was available when I placed my order.
You have to get them directly from Japan, so it takes some time and also $$$ after shipping. The figures themselves are not bad priced.
Here they are


Goblin shark


Hammer head shark


Basking shark


Hybodus shark (my favorite)


The sharks as seen from above


I hope to someday get the entire set as they are really wonderful figures.
Two very different sets of figures that are very much worth acquiring.

Enjoy! ;D

What, no Stethacanthus? Or was it backordered, again?

And I curse that Neko works discontinued two shark figures before I even knew they existed--the Megamouth and the Cookie-Cutter. Especially that last one.

EDIT--apparently, the Greenland and Blacktip Reef have been discontinued as well.

Yap, backordered! The Stethacanthus was one of the reason I placed an order; it was available when I ordered, then 2 days later I got an email telling me its out of stock
My order is still pending, so I hope that one day I get it... when they have it available again.
Ya, a shame that many of them are now being discontinued. They are cool figures.

nice one

Those sharks are really cool. Displaying them on marine stones is a great idea, of course!

Thanks, they are cool I'm not starting to get worried that I will never see the other half of my order

Neat (esp. those sharks) but oh so fuzzy looking. Too bad they can't profit from larger copies.
Regardless I shall order the razh and nekos!
