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

It’ll be a quick look at the figures I have from a set today–two thirds of which I looked at in greater detail once before (when I apparently changed my format!) But always great to look at the history a bit more. As said before, the series was released as a gashapon set in orContinue reading “Vault Tales 285 Run the Set Kaiyodo National Museum of Nature & Science”

FigureFrenzy 284 Brontosaurus, Dimetrodon, Gomphotherium, Velociraptor

Taking a look at a weird and wide variety of prehistoric figures. Representing all kinds of geologic ages and taxonomic groups! Also…pretty wide range of quality. Dino Magic Fizz-N-Surprise ‘Brontosaurus’ Skeleton (GLOW!) Well let’s start with what will obviously be the low point…another figure from the Dino Magic series.

Part 1 – The Mesozoic Figures! That’s right–as the title suggests, I am going to be looking at the full run of the Series 1 Dinotales line, the one that started it all! I have looked at various individual Dinotales figures before of course, but I don’t think I tackled a full complete set. AndContinue reading “Vault Tales 231 Run the Set Kaiyodo UHA Chocolasaurs Dinotales Series 1 PART 1”

Vault Tales 175 Run the Set Kaiyodo DinoExpo 2002

Today will be another set, this one featuring a fine set from Kaiyodo–their models made as souvenirs for DinoExpo 2002! This was when the figures were still part of the Chocola Saurs brand, partnered within the UHA lines. Except, for the DinoExpo sets, they would pull out a few stops. In later years, the modelsContinue reading “Vault Tales 175 Run the Set Kaiyodo DinoExpo 2002”
