Sweet pics!
As usual, the biggest standouts for me are the insects in Gallery A, and the prehistoric creatures later on. Dunkleosteus, Liopleurodon, Cephalaspis, and a swarm of Tullymonstron, just to name a few. Incredibly cool stuff!
Except . . . what kid ever said “Mummy! Mummy! I want a dung beetle toy!” (Actually, if they threw in wind-up dung-ball-rolling action, I might spring for that.)
Damn, now I kinda want a dung beetle…
Oh Japan, you so crazy!
Playing with Giant Beetles is a MAJOR thing with Japanese kids. No fooling.
Yeah, not rocket science to see what generated Pokemon, huh? 🙂
I knew they were into making large beetles and other invertebrates fight in the Orient, and the beetle Pokemon reminded me of that when the game first came out.
But seriously, though . . . dung beetles? Stag, Unicorn, and Hercules beetles, sure.
