Miniature Animal Figure Collection

I have a complete set of Freddy T Turtles playing sports and musical instruments.
Ebay, Etsy, I don't know if there are any other wholesalers though.
I’ve seen CollectA figures for sale at the gift shop at the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch near San Antonio, Texas.
I think sometimes gift shops at museums and zoos will have them, and I'm pretty sure I saw a CollectA display at a small toy store in Houston, but I don't know if any big chain stores have them.

For those that like obscure species of wild cats. This page sells extremely accurate figurines of almost every dreamable species 
The bad side is the high price, tough. But for those that don't mind money...

Schleich has a model quokka on sale at the London Zoo shop.
This is the first time I've heard that there's now a model quokka. Quite a pleasant surprise!

Despite being too big (compared with my figures of larger species), I bought the quokka too. It's a new figure for 2019, but it's in stationeries and stores even in november-december 2018 (that's when I bought mine in a stationery along with a musk ox and leatherback turtle). I know of various other animal figurine collectors that also got it before the New Year... Quite pleasant when comparing with the new 2019 CollectA's and Safari's figures that are still not available even in online shops...
The quokka is very well done, just the bad thing is that the CE and "Made in China" are on the right leg (outside) instead of the belly, and very big and noticeable. So the animal is only nice from the left side...
I also want to show here my last addition: the Colorata's cookiecutter shark (Isistius brasiliensis). It's the smallest of my figures, but despite of its size is very accurate

I like the cookiecutter! What is the black circle on the belly?

A hole for attach the figure in a vertical stick that is attached into a flat platform. See here: https://www.picclickimg.com/00/s/NT...orata-Real-Figure-box-Set-Shark-Deluxe-_1.jpg
I actually had three of those enclosures back in the 60s.
I want that Oarfish!My lattest additions. The photo doesn0t make them justice. They're just PERFECT!
Opah (Lampris guttatus)
Comores coelacanth (Latimeria chalumnae)
Colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni)
And oarfish (Regalecus glesne)
The four together:
I'm in love with all of them!
