I'm a fan of the Colorata figures although I am yet to own one. They're very nicely done. I wouldn't mind adding that Tyrannosaurus to my 'family'.

I've been also always loving the Dinosaurs' "relatives", such as reptiles & amphibians - so I thought I'd post some figures of these families . All figures are made by Kaiyodo or Yujin. Hope you like them - if not, sorry for posting non-Dinosaur pictures! Eumeces kishinouyei - Kishinoue's Giant Skink Elaphe climacophora - Japanese Rat Snake Amblyrhynchus cristatus - Galapagos Marine Iguana Megalobatrachus japonicus or Andrias japonicus - Japanese Giant Salamander (one of my all-time favourites) Lepidochelys olivacea - Olive Ridley Sea Turtle The 3 Yujin Frogs secret figures (from left to right): Rana sakuraii - Stream Brown Frog Rana nigromaculata - Dark-spotted Frog Rana porosa brevipoda - Nagoya Daruma Pond Frog (No, I don't know all these names by heart!) Bufo japonicus formosus - Eastern-Japanese Common Toad ..... and the Papo Nile Crocodile

Do you have any of the micro-coloratas? (not that they are all that small, they're just smaller than the normal coloratas)

It wasn't a mini set, just a first attempt (I have them all--they are surprisingly similar for the most part). Some day I will take comparison photos. Someday...

Safari Ltd should really start a line of Pterosur models.

I love your Kaiyodo models, they're fantastic! And, of course, the Papo Nile Croc, fab model

That salamander could almost be one of those extinct giant amphibians. A koolasuchus maybe.

Thanks for your comments . - I only know about the 3 Colorata Dinosaur sets & the bigger single T. rex figure - would be happy to see pics of the others! - I have absolutely no idea why the Stream Brown Frog hugs fishes, maybe it's attacking them. Are there frogs eating fish - Yeah, I think the Papo crocodile is the best in its category! - A Flying Reptiles toob by Safari would be awesome! I'm thinking about a 1:30 Dimorphodon and such . - People who live in tropical surroundings are lucky ones - they always have Geckos around - love them! This is not a real one, it's a Kaiyodo .....

Oops - well thanks, brontodocus for your correction! You're right of course - must be some kind of Asian Giant Salamander, probably the Japanese one, since Kaiyodo focuses on native animals in this series. Maybe this one: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_giant_salamanderI fixed it in the above post, thanks again . The figure is still available

The figure is still available romanlo, I guess? Was a bit expensive because the € is a bit weak, currently, but bought one, now that I know that I really get what's on the photo.

I think he has a certain quantity of each figure he's selling and the less he has the more expensive they get (in 5 Dollar steps). It's expensive concerning it's a miniature figure but I've never seen a more beautiful made Salamander. There are more than a 100 species in this "book figure" series. I don't know the original title of it. Any idea where to get some of the other figures?

Unfortunately I don't know any other source. These book figures seem to be of higher quality than the animatales. And I am still searching for one Kaiyodo figure I don't even know the series it belongs to, it was a "water bear" or "moss piglet" (Tardigrada) and the species was Echiniscus testudo, the problem is that it was mislabelled when I saw it and can't remember how they called it. The seller from Japan who had it is no longer selling on ebay...

Echiniscus testudo ..... quite an exotic figure you're looking for! Oh man - these Kaiyodo series ..... never heard of that one! If I ever see it I'll send you a mail. Beautiful Kaiyodo fish also draw my interest, so I kind of collect them - could also post pics but I dare not to do so - I might be banned from the forum for too many non-Dinosaur pictures ;D BTW: I only own one of the Dinoland, so-called 1:100 series, this Stegosaurus . I couldn't win any other auction for one of these beauties - I'd love to have the Tylosaurus that I've seen here somewhere in the forum .....

Hi sbell, it's this one here: stores.ebay.de/romanlo88 Edit: Funny, he has already relisted the Giant Salamander mislabelled " Paramesotriton" after I bought it today. And this time he lists two of them. Does he read this forum and expects more people to be interested, normally he only lists one at a time? No, just kidding. ;D
