MANY MINIATURES
NEWS

Novenber 28, 2008

It's Christmas time and that means it's time for out annual Toys4Tots charity drive. You can purchase a special toy at a deep discount (or any toy at regular price) and I will deliver it for you. This year along with SoundPrints Plush and Book Sets we are now also including Eino Science Mini Kits.

We have added new People Figures, including Historical Figures, new Farmers and Ranch Hands, Stable Hands and Horse Trainers, and Zookeepers.

After a year of programming, Many Miniatures is now updated. Among the updates is a new shipping calculation, allowing the charges to me determined by weight rather than by price. No longer will you be over-paying for those lightweight but expensive items. The minimum shipping is $2.50 and the flat fee has been raised to $10.00 for orders between $30.00 and $100.00. However, shipping for orders over $100.00 is still FREE.

As always we constantly redesign Many Miniatures in order to bring you new categories and a wider variety of animals. The Australian Animals has been expanded to include Australian Mammals, Australian Birds and Reptiles, Insects and Other Australian Animals, all supplied directly from Australia via It's Australian and their parent company Science and Nature Pty Ltd. Now you can find the odd and rare such as Tasmanian Devils, Bilby, Kiwi Birds, Lorikeet, Dingos and Wetta Bugs. The Extinct Animals selection has been growing, giving the Prehistoric Mammals a seperate section to the Other Extinct Animals such as the Dodo Bird, the Oviraptor and the Dunkleosteus. And some old categories have been split. The Reptiles and Amphibians category has been split into four subcategories: Frogs and Toads, Snakes, Lizards and Turtles. The now endangered Polar Bear has a section all its own, as does the Panda and Bears of the World. There were numerous requests for items from Papo, so more animals have been added, including Lions and Tigers (Oh my), both have their own sections.

And the Animals aren't the only sections to get an expansion. With the addition of Papo as a supplier the number of human figures will be growing. The Mythical Animals section now includes Monsters, those half human creations such as Ghosts, Skeletons, Minotaurs, Centaurs, Orcs, Trolls and Dwarves. There are a new selection of Trees and Environments as well. Modern Man will be added to the People section as the items are added and Historical Figures will be joining the collections as well.

We now have a number of items from another new supplier, Adventure Planet. There are Plush Key Chains and Holographic Puzzles and 3D PVC Puzzle Sets.

And as always any items that have been discontinued or retired are featured on our eBay Store, where you can also find some sales and deals.
