Hi all, I have two questions: 1. Does anyone else collect the Monterey Bay Aquarium figures by Safari? 2. Does anyone know of a good reference for retired figures? I have a pair of otters from the MBA series, but I can't find a mention of them anywhere. Thanks in advance! Ŧ ħ ë ř ī (sorry cordy, I had to

I HAD the giant squid, but seem to have misplaced it. I used to display it attacking my Nautilus. *sigh*

I have several of these and am in the process of obtaining the Monterey Bay Aquarium display "mountain," on which I want to display the entire collection. I shall be trying to secure the gaps in my collection then.
I know some people think the display mountains are dorky, but I find them quite useful for exhibition purposes.

Ok, so can any of you tell me whichis more accurate, or better quality? The Monterey Bay Sperm whale, or the large Schleich sperm whale? I am thinking of picking up a few sea critters....

BTW, the empty Monterey Bay Aquarium "display mountain" sold to me, which was shipped from Safari. Ltd. in Florida, was merely the Carnegie mountain painted blue. It does not match the old photos of the original display item.

All display mountains from Safari are made from the same mold. Many of them have changed considerably from their older versions - for example, the Carnegie mountain was once designed to look like a volcano.
I was thinking of getting some Moneterey Bay figures for the store, but can anyone tell me if these are these the best marine animals Safari has to offer?
