FigureFocus 323 Playmates Dinosaur King Ceratosaurus

Another look at a figure from the Dinosaur King series, this time another one from series one. This one is the Ceratosaurus figure from the series. At this point I’ve written about so many of these figures, and yet there’s always so many more, it’s hard to have more to say! This one stands outContinue reading “FigureFocus 323 Playmates Dinosaur King Ceratosaurus”

FigureFocus 319 Safari Ltd Exotic Birds toob Scarlet Ibis

Quick look at more dinosaurs…but a modern one this time! It’s a Scarlet Ibis from a Safari toob. The original toob is the Exotic Birds toob, item 680404, first released in 2006. The set featured a number of birds that, I suppose depending on perspective, would be exotic, from a variety of locales (mostly LatinContinue reading “FigureFocus 319 Safari Ltd Exotic Birds toob Scarlet Ibis”
