Today I am reviewing a set of four animals I originally bought for just one of the figures. The set, which was being sold on eBay, was alerted to me on the ATF by forum member NSD Bashe. The set is called Fish Assortment 2 and it is one of four components of a larger collection that’s part of the Wonder World line by Kenner, a subsidiary of Hasbro at the time it was released (1995). The four […]

Before I start my review I would again like to thank our friends at Toymany for providing this review sample for the Blog. I have really enjoyed being a Toymany collaborator for the past two years!

Marine animals include some of the most popular animals in our hobby, from sharks, to whales and dolphins, to sea turtles. It’s no wonder that many of the more well-known companies have lines and […]

Whales and Dolphins (Marine Animals by Panini), Part 1

So after spending so long on a single company, reviewing in-depth every figure by Replica Toy Fish…why not work on a (nearly) entire series from a different company!? This time, I’m going to work through the marine figures produced by Italian company Panini. I will be approaching it differently–the figures are very small, and very stylized, so a relatively brief overview will be more […]
