Beluga

Happy Kin ----- A rather strange looking beluga with eyeshadow and lipstick, but certainly not a bad sculpt. 

Recur ----- One of the largest beluga figures available is this Recur. It's pretty good, but the body is very elongated. Length 30 cm

AAA ----- Another pretty large figure. Its face has something kind of creepy but cute at the same time. It's pretty detailed and the folds in the neck are a nice touch considering its pose. Sadly it, like most AAA cetaceans, has fish-like fins and flukes. There is an almost identical smaller version of this model which is a bit easier to find. Length 26,5 cm

Safari ltd Monterey Bay Aquarium ----- The Monterey Bay collection by Safari ltd is loved by many collectors, and for good reason. The collection has been around for a while but many of the figures are still some of the best of their species. Sadly this is not the case for the beluga in my opinion. It's not bad by any means, but the open mouth lacking any detail is a pretty big let down. It would have looked better if the mouth was just closed. The model pictured is the newer version. Length 24,5 cm

Safari ltd Wild Safari ----- Not the most accurate but one of my personal favourites. I love its soft expression and the plastic feels nice for some reason. The sculpting on the head is good but the body is a bit too long and slender. It has been retired for a while now. Length 15,5 cm

CollectA ----- The CollectA model is a pretty good and detailed beluga, note the ears sculpted in. But wow, those flukes are huge! Length 19 cm

K&M rubber ----- A smallish rubber (quite flexible but not stretchy) figure that, like most other old K&M figures, is very hard to find. If you're looking to find a realistic and anatomically correct figure of a beluga it's not really worth the trouble. It's cute though! Length 13,5 cm

Toy Major ----- Part of a series of cetacean figures made of solid plastic released in 1994. A beluga with a very amusing face. Length 16,5 cm

Papo ----- This is a fantastic model of a beluga. The anatomy, detail and pose are great! Definitely up there with the best models of this species. It has a slightly grayish upper body so it would represent a young beluga. Length 17 cm

Maia & Borges ----- The same sculpt as the old Schleich beluga. Not much about it is very beluga-ish. The pectoral fins and flukes are more like those of a dolphin. Length 16 cm

Kinto Favorite ----- Not the best model by this company. The head looks strange and is asymmetrical, pectoral fins have a fish-like look and flukes are an incorrect shape. Length 17 cm
