Umm, someone's confused here. Pete and I have been discussing the 12x12
quarter circle base brick in 5850. I seriously doubt they've changed to
a plate. Perhaps you're thinking about the 8x8 plate in 5838.

It's somewhat larger than the Arctic polar bear, and 4 wide instead of 2
wide. The biggest problem with it is that the only connectivity it has
is the ability to hold a rod in it's mouth (such limited connectivity is
common for Scala animals).

Probably. The only unusual colors Belville has ever really used which
mesh well with unusual colors in System sets are the pinks, though there
is also some of the light blue.
