Loren,

You fooled me well here!

The first picture I could have sworn that the sasquatch has holding a fish.

My mind immediately raced to the Bill Taylor sighting of January 1970 in BC.

Bill Taylor was driving along when a large Bigfoot crossed the road in front of his car, carrying a fish in its hand. It preceded to climb up a steep bank and disappear into the trees.

But I cannot identify any of the photos.

Whoa. The previous “mystery photo” quiz with one pic got almost 4 times as many responses as this one that had three photos in it. Was the animal alone more fun?

Earliest correct answers are given below. Ah, shumway10973 was close on so many fronts, early, but without specifics. No one got #2 truly right.

The top one is a Sasquatch gaming miniature for WizKids Games “Horror Clix” line. [Extra credit for links, complete answer, and good background info.]

…kinda reminds me of the second group of wolves from Japan that Mystery Man talked about.

Maybe Japanese wolves (Honshu wolf or whatever?)

Actually, these are the Japanese replicas from the Kaiyodo company of the Hokkiado wolves. Brent Swancer ids them as the “Hokkaido, or Ezo wolves,” in his Cryptomundo blogs.

That bottom picture is Canis familiaris.

That’s a dog with a fancy haircut. The big tubs of Mexlub and the mo-ped make me think this may be in Mexico – or at least south of Texas somewhere.

pretty sure the first one is a Monster Click, they still might have some of those at newbury comics in portland, but they came out a while ago.

Picture #1 – I have no idea – never seen it before in my life.

Picture #2 – …Maybe Japanese wolves (Honshu wolf or whatever?)

Picture #3 – That is a dog, shaved to look like a lion – possibly in the United States.

Well, I know the top one is a “HorrorClix” kind of a miniature tabletop RPG battle game. You could probably find them at most gaming stores. The line is quite a few years old now, though.
