Group 3

We are not Bengal Tigers at 5/8th but have that same orange base. The top right might be a bit distorted tiger but red, green and blue is not found on Bengal Tigers.

GOING WITH CLOWNFISH HERE

Group 4 5/8th

Black opaque base with a white brushed patch on one side and a purple/tan/white blended brush opposite side.

Going with "Orca" here.

Group 5 Mixed bunch

Top row of three purple tinted gray opaque base. Left is 5/8 two right are 9/16th if that. They have the same colors in use but I am not convinced they are the same mibs. The two on the right look almost identical. I just can't find any this color combo.

This one I am pretty sure is a "Streamer"

Bottom three, left white swirl is a little larger than 5/8th. Not iridescent. But it came out of a asst bag of Mega Fun marbles. 

I am going with "Rainbow" on this one. Has a patch on either side. In with a yellow one now that had me stumped.

Center is 5/8 and very iridescent but I find it is not a Jelly fish in color. It might be a weak Polar Bear lacking black highlights in the swirl.

Right is 5/8, Colors look very familiar, but this one lacks a typical pattern to identify. The backside has a rather large area of thin purple.

These seem easy enough--they are Vacor.

I just spent the last thirty minutes on these--no results name wise.

I will ask @Mojo for an opinion here.

Marble--On!!

I appreciate that. Thank you very much for trying. I have looked long myself. That's why I ask. That one that could hide amidst my polar bears does not look right when they are together. Those will be tempted to say that's what it is but I don't think so. It looks even more out of place with the jelly fish.

I was wondering if Vacor was sometimes like other companies and just put out no name marbles sometimes. Such as . . . the white patches on the transparent bases I show.

Maybe Vacor has some "filler" marbles for those Hobby Lobby bags?

Group 4 might just be "Orca"

It is odd that I don't have any 50% white 50% black ones which take up more than half the marbles you might find in a net bag. 

However, I am finding some that look very much like my marbles amidst some older orca. Funny how I ended up with almost all the kind that strongly resemble a Black Panther in design.

See . . .  I am settling on Orca

Thanks, came from asst bags for 2023 or 2024 with the round yellow tag. No blue on either elephants I know of.

Some runs especially the shooters seem to have an extra color.

Like already mentioned they could be fillers .

The newer nets especially hobby lobby seem to have the wildest combos.

Just my opinion of course  , usually vacors don't escape me for  Id's but the newer nets seem to be changing.

Rather than quote myself (lol), I have named the 6 gray with blue and white swirls "Asian Elephant Hybrids" as I have added 4 more since that picture was taken. I don't find any marbles that look like those even with google image search except my own picture. The second image, the white brushed patches, those clear base non iridescent ones are in a bag named simply "White brushed patches" with all my sorted Megas..

I got more of them in a assorted Hobby Lobby bag the other day too. Maybe Mega Marbles ended up with a bunch of white patched clearies that were unintentional but acceptable mibs and toss some in these assorted bags as "fillers". They are nice but not very exciting.
