I’m probably not going to be doing a lot of news posts (coming soon, etc) for a while, but I did want to do a few catch-up posts that will be a little light on details. This first one is focused on the Metal Earth Exclusives that have slipped through the cracks while I was on sabbatical. These are the ones I could find, but if you know of some I’m missing, please comment and let me know (links to images / sources would be greatly appreciated). Anyways, on to the four exclusives I’ve found:




The first two are models that are exclusively available at Universal Parks, related to their recently opened Super Nintendo World areas. As a life-long Nintendo fanboy, I have got to get my hands on both Bowser’s Castle and Peach’s Castle. After I clean out my giant backlog of models to build, of course. Hahaha.
The second pair are both from Disneyland Shanghai, and so are even more difficult to get ahold of. One of them might appear quite familiar, but I assure you that the golden, Premium Series size Enchanted Storybook Castle is not the same as the D23 ICONX Sleeping Beauty Castle. For one thing, it’s actually 6-sheets worth. The other model, while slightly less exciting, is still fairly attractive: the Fantasia Carousel.

I see some preview from Metal Earth.The Spruce goose of Hughes Aircraft and a Great white shark.Do you know if Animated Orange your friend is still in business, verry verry long time i see anything from him.And i am a bit worry …
Thank you, Luc! I’ve got those added to my general checklist (just updated today). The “Exclusives” page is specifically for the models that Metal Earth doesn’t list on their website or sell through their usual retailers. Models that you can only get through promotions, single retailers / locations, or packaged with other products (such as video games or movies). I appreciate the assist, nonetheless.
