Vault Tales 299 Run the Set GeoWorld Travel-to-Go Ice Age

So here’s a neat little set from GeoWorld that, well, didn’t last long. They aren’t especially great models, but feature a few animals that you never really see. And a few that you pretty much always do… I was kind of fortunate that these were briefly available right when I started the online store. MostContinue reading “Vault Tales 299 Run the Set GeoWorld Travel-to-Go Ice Age”

Vault Tales 285 Run the Set Kaiyodo National Museum of Nature & Science

Vault Tales 277 Run the Set Safari Ltd South African Animals toob

It kind of snuck by me somehow when it first came out, but I was fortunately reminded about it, and able to get it fairly quickly. At least Safari isContinue reading “Vault Tales 277 Run the Set Safari Ltd South African Animals toob”

Vault Tales 272 Run the Set Takara Monster Fish

More fish this week, this time ostensibly a ‘set’ but really just two different versions of the same figure, from the same series. In recent years Takara has started releasing small gashapon sets of figures, usually 3 to five figures, a little larger than more familiar Kaiyodo, Yujin, and similar models. Most are in aContinue reading “Vault Tales 272 Run the Set Takara Monster Fish”
