FigureFocus 275 PNSO Haylee the Helicoprion

Due to recent events, I’m going to make this a quick single-figure post. In this case (in case the title didn’t give it away) it will be a somewhat recent ‘shark’ figure from PNSO, Haylee the Helicoprion, number 43 in their Prehistoric Animal Models series.

Most are in aContinue reading “Vault Tales 272 Run the Set Takara Monster Fish”

Vault Tales 271 FigureFrenzy Pufferfish, TroutPerch, Perch, Crocodile shark

Start of a new year! So let’s start with a variety of fish! Colorata Saltwater Fish 1 Tiger Pufferfish Our first fish of 2022 is the Tiger Pufferfish from Colorata, number 14 in the original Saltwater Fish box set. It’s a magnificent figure, lots of detail and colour. As is is common with about halfContinue reading “Vault Tales 271 FigureFrenzy Pufferfish, TroutPerch, Perch, Crocodile shark”
