Say hello to the banded dragonfly!
This terrified me when I first placed it lol!

Whoa, that is huge! Have you seen the centipede? That's really big too. It's kinda terrifying, actually.

I love collecting these things. I just wish Flick would show up more often so I don't have to wait so long between getting them.

I love the models too! Flick and CJ are too rare for my liking haha!

I got Flick yesterday and I decided to make 7 extra profiles and dumped them all on the beach so I could get more than one model. Too slow otherwise!

That's dedication! I don't blame you though. If you don't TT, then it will take literal years to collect all of these models otherwise.
 
oh i love it! i want a list of all the huge bug models, so i can collect them for display in an enchanted forest area with the mush and flower furnitures. they look so cool
 
Ok, I definitely gotta get this model now!

Someone told me that the oarfish model is disappointingly tiny.

So far I have found the size of the fish models to be disappointing as well.
I have the marlin and coelocanth and sadly both are tiny. I wanted to use them as a centrepiece display outside my museum but they are no where near big enough (the hermit crab is larger than both)
 
I haven't really put any effort into the insect statues, because I figured they were all just one-size little statues. Seeing how large and detailed some of them are definitely makes me want some for the outside of my museum.

CJ seems to always be on my island. Only seen flick 2 times!

Flick only does the fish models to make CJ happy. His true love is the bugs.
 
can these things be displayed on anything or just the ground? they're so massive but i want them to be displayed up high
 
I think the models of the small-sized fish are quite cute but the ones you'd expect to be huge are otherwise disappointing.
I personally can't wait to get all the goldfish models (so far just have the standard one but also want the Ranchu and the pop-eyed).
Both these guys come so rarely though.(n)
I low-key regret selling all my banded dragonflies now. This looks epic but I guess I'll concentrate on the butterfly models for now.
 
Is the oarfish really not big? I’m glad I read this before trying to collect 3! I was planning to have it smack bang in the middle of one of my rooms :( looks like bugs are the way to go
 
Now you can scare you, guest, with that thing! Geez, that thing is terrifying! :oops:

Ground only as far as I have been able to find :(
The collision box around these models are huge, makes them really difficult to fit places.

I tested placing them on 4 items I would expect them to fit on but had no luck. The smaller models fit as expected though.
