I know that there's a MBA thread and a Papo Great White, but I figure a general marine thread is alright, too. Does anyone collect marine animals seriously? I may start, I picked up the MBA Tiger Shark and WS Blue whale today. I'll try to get some pics posted of my small collection soon.

I collect marine animals seriously. Well, sharks, to be specific, and the occasional dolphin to feed them. Sharks are my passion, I love them more than dinosaurs, and I plan to study them for a career. ;D I have all the yowies sharks, safari sharks, schliech sharks, K&M toob sharks, playvision sharks, and I had all the bullyland sharks but I lost them all at a pool years ago.

I picked up the schleich sea lion today, a beautiful figure. I like him a lot more than the ws one.

I'm not familiar with MBA. Are their pieces any good?

I have all of the Schleich ones except the tropical fish. I have most of those fish coming but they are stuck in Belgium right now I think. If you want to see everything you can check out my site schleich.animobil.info but here are some group shots of a few: whales: pinnipeds: fish: The Whale Shark is a fish, not a whale btw two different Schleich versions both from the 1:32 scale line: sharks: If you don't have it I recommend getting one of the not to scale hammerheads as in this picture right now. Schleich introduced them in 2008 and then discontinued that whole line this year, so it will be hard to get in the future. Also good from that line you might want to pick up are the Spotted Wobbegong and the Tiger Shark I've got most of the old MPC series, and a couple of the Marx ones. I really need to get the rest of the Marx fish, they are excellent sculpts. Of course if you like fishies you really need to track down the Schleich Shonisaurus, it's fabulous yes,yes, it's an Ichtyosaur and therefore reptilianish not fishy, but it LOOKS fishy.

You are going to make people very jealous with your Shonisaurus--but where are the Kronosaurus and Elasmosaurus?

Tiermann, that's your site? I love that site, I always use it while trying to find pictures of specific schleich figures. And I love that Elephant seal, too bad its so rare now (one on ebay is $90)

This makes me think of some very odd sharks that I have: Among my favourites are the lantern shark, the cat shark and the frilled shark. And I have that Elephant seal--I can't believe it is going for that much!

Not when you own every cool figure under the sun! That makes you as lovable as an angry porcupine, it does.

Haha, I know you're still looking for the pv amphibians, right? And does anyone have the schleich minke whale? I think it looks cool, I'd like to know what you guys think of it though before I get one.

I think it looks cool, I'd like to know what you guys think of it though before I get one. I've seen it--it looks nice enough. I've never been much of a whale collector. As for the PV amphibians, who are you referring to? I am not actually looking (I needed the Crassigyrinus, I have it now). But I believe that many others still are.

Oh, I hadn't realized you had gotten them, I guess seeing your ad still in PT made me think you were still looking. My bad.

And I love that Elephant seal, too bad its so rare now (one on ebay is $90) Yep, Animobil.info is my site. It started out with just the Playmobil side but then a friend sent me a bunch of Schleich and I went off on that tangent too. I have a bunch of older stuff by US makers like Marx but haven't ever gotten it online in a decent way. Here is that Minke Whale, it was discontinued this year so if you want it grab it now: I think it's pretty good, but am no expert on whales Looks pretty though
