T'was my good fortune yesterday to run into these nifty axoltl figurines at a shop. I've already gone and lost a leg, however

Who knows though, maybe it got chewed off by another hungry axoltl figurine

I wouldn't worry Tim. It'll grow back.

Those are pretty cool though. Nice find!

 

[TJ]

Thanks. Here's another find that I don't think I've posted a pic of yet. I picked this up during a recent trip to Vietnam:

Hi,
what do you think of these two guys?

Nice one Fabian. I have the same

(thanks again R!)

Also picked up these nice cases in Vietnam:

Wow, this is all pretty nice stuff! I especially like those first cases you posted Tim. Too bad the real thing doesn't have such a lovely tail.

 

[TJ]

Yes, I was blown away when I discovered that case in a small shop in Hanoi. The "newts" on the other cases are a bit too lizard-like, but they're close enough. By the way, the axoltl's leg did regenerate, just like you said it would!

 

[TJ]

Some of the figurines in this series are really quite realistic. Here's one that's sure to please fellow Hynobius-lover Henk...

That other figure is very nice too. How did you really get his leg back on??? Glue, right?
