Kitan Club salamander(s) and newts arrived today, very pleased with them!
Japanese fire belly newt,
Cynops pyrrhogaster. Two adults and a juvenile, the adults are about 1:1 scale but I'm not sure at what age they change colour so I don't know the young ones scale.
Sword-tail newt,
Cynops ensicauda. It's almost 2/3 of their maximum length but they don't seem to change their colours based on size or age so it can safely be 1:1 scale for a small adult or up to 1:2 scale.
Japanese giant salamander,
Andrias japonicus. One came on a keychain the other has a magnet in it. It was very difficult to measure but I think it's about 20cm spine length placing them in 7.5 scale.
I actually got baby Otachi a couple days ago half price at TRU. I like that the umbilical cord is removable, it makes a good deceased/deformed pterosaur embryo.
I got a second Safari ltd. bluespotted ribbontail ray,
Taeniura lymma. For the second hand price I couldn't resist. Although only about 1:3 of an adult size they seem to be coloured more like juveniles (the silver brown colour seems to fade to green with age).
At half price (thank goodness) I got a JW "Dimorphodon". I got this one a few weeks ago actually, but I'm sure everyone understands why I didn't think it was worth bothering to post on its own.
