waaaah exactly!
I've searched for a Steller's Sea Eagle and have ordered one (which I'll post when it arrives), but it's nothing compared to this one or the Colorata one. (Both I can't find!)
How do you find these stunners postsaurischian?

The Colorata raptors box is being sold regularly by eBay seller ig88droid. If he doesn't have it at the moment you can send him an e-mail and he will surely get it for you. The Natural Monuments are pretty rare. One has to be very lucky to find them. I took the chance to get the whole set through www.jauce.com (English speaking people who handle Japanese auctions for international bidders). Don't ask me what's the best way to use these pages ;D. You could spend hours to find something. Also the different fees and the money handling makes it a bit complicated - but it works.

Wonderful! The Biwako Collection models are really beautiful (and so affordable!). Did these also have rather oversized boxes? Just because I was thinking that maybe I'd like to have them, too...

Each box is ca. 15 x 15 x 13cm and they're filled with foam material (not polystyrene like the Largemouth Bass) which I think is all needed to receive them unbroken. Shipping for the two plus Largemouth Bass & NW Angel Shark was ¥1,380. Regarding that one figure is ¥640 that's still a favourable price .

I am blown away by Harriet's skill on this one, it's absolutely beautiful! I'm so envious, you've no idea. ;D Is it the original sculpture or a cast?

I'd say it's the original sculpture . That was too quick for making casts.
