Safari Ltd - New for 2022

I'm not too crazy about the brown choice as a color, but let's see.

Let's see indeed, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Please be good

I'm not too crazy about the brown choice as a color, but let's see.

Let's see indeed, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

So far the only evidence of brown is just the lower legs 

[Concavenator]

Not a big fan of the Stygimoloch, but then again, I'm not interested in getting a Stygimoloch figure to begin with, as it's likely it's just a subadult Pachycephalosaurus, and I'm a 1/genus guy. In that case, I'd rather get a Pachycephalosaurus figure instead, which I don't have.

And looking at the tease, it looks like the Cryolophosaurus is Doug's work - and as such, it will surely be very good. I understand the need for a new figure of this taxon, as the 2 really good ones were the Carnegie and the Battat, and they're both retired. That said, I'm not sure I want to replace my Carnegie Cryo... It's still a fine piece, and this taxon isn't very well known anyways. If it will be at least partially feathered and it will have lips (by itself not a super relevant aspect, but it would be a good contrast to the lipless Carnegie) then I could think about it.

In any case, and as mentioned before on the thread, I hope everything is going well for Safari. And in my case, I'm interested in the Albertosaurus and the Zuul.

[Carnoking]

I may be in the minority here but I actually quite like Papo's take on the animal despite its more stylized elements. That said, I'd gladly welcome another more naturalistic offering and would jump for joy if it turned out looking like something in line with Blue Rhino Studio's statue.

[Pliosaurking]

Hopefully I like this one more than the stygimoloch
I'm also interested to see how it compares to the old Carnegie one
I may pick it up but the Carnegie one is a fine model so we shall see

I too quite like papo's rendition, I enjoy the dynamic pose, and despite its inaccuracies it's a nice model overall

[Halichoeres]

Interesting texture on the shin and top of the foot. I like the Battat version but I might be persuaded to trade it in for this one depending on how it turns out.

I was sure I'd be buying a Safari Stygimoloch* as soon as it was hinted at a few weeks ago, but I might actually stick with this mysterious fella: https://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=3390.msg238979#msg238979

*It might be a different species of Pachycephalosaurus, but it probably isn't a juvenile of P. wyomingensis, and anyway its appearance is distinct enough to warrant the presence of both taxa in my collection at least.

[Gwangi]

I'm pretty content with the Carnegie and Battat Cryolophosaurus figures but I'm still keen to see this one. I also must admit that I like the Papo one too, even though I don't have it.

[SpartanSquat]

I would love to see the finished Cryolophosaurus! The only ones I own are Papo ones and Mattel ones. Im intrigued which looks will have this Cryolophosaurus, more tetanurae, more dilophosaur or a mix of these 2.

[Faelrin]

I'm so excited to see the last of the reveals is the Cryolophosaurus, one of my favorite theropods. Despite it's fragmentary nature that iconic crest it bares has fascinated me ever since I was a child. To this day it's still rather unique in its presentation.

Can't wait to see this one in full. Definitely going on to my wishlist.

[PrimevalRaptor]

Not too big on the Stygimoloch but the Cryolophosaurus has me excited! Always liked this genus, looking forward to see how it looks alongside the incredible Carnegie one (still one of my all-time favorite figures). Teaser silhouette looks promising.

[Jose S.M.]

That's definitely Doug's work. I like the coloration. Just wish it had its mouth closed but it's on my wishlist for sure

[Carnoking]

Disappointed there's no fuzz but I do love that paint job. I don't know, strong contender for my favorite of the year from Safari upon first impressions!

[PrimevalRaptor]

Yeah would have loved some protofeathers but that is a gorgeous Cryolophosaurus, very nice updated sculpt and I dig the colour scheme.

[SidB]

Wow, Safari has upped their game in the tooth-painting department, which is a welcome development, obviously. I find that this sculpt co-ordinates well, for display purposes, with their Concavenator and Dilophosaurus, for example. Another fine Doug Wilson figure,(I'm assuming).

[Gwangi]

Well I guess my collection will have 3 Cryolophosaurus in it. I can't say no to this one.

[Renecito]

Not bad but I still prefer Carnegie's.

[Pliosaurking]

I do quite like this figure although I still like the Carnegie one better
