As I mentioned earlier, this week is accidentally non-dinosaur animals that predate dinosaurs. We started with a Triassic archosaur, and now we’re going even further back to the Permian, with an animal on the eventual mammal lineage! I am talking about the Lycaenops figures made by Kenner (possibly under Hasbro) as part of the originalContinue reading “Vault Tales 230 Hasbro Jurassic Park Lycaenops group”

So this one is a bitter of a bittersweet one for me. I think it’s a fantastic model, but it does remind me that it is the last model made with Brandon Demoss for the FaunaFiguresFishes series, this one specifically as a joint with Brandon’s Obscurus line. And was done in my last year ofContinue reading “Vault Tales 193 Obscurus/FaunaFiguresFishes Protosphyraena”
