Safari Ltd: New for 2023

[ceratopsian]

The white background promo image is hugely unflattering. If I were working from that alone I wouldn't have the figure on my to buy list. It would be a definite avoid.

I agree the white background doesn't do this figure any favours, gald there is some photos both in hand and outside in natural lighting of this beautiful figure.

A day on, and my position has firmed from "could be tempted" to a definite decision to buy.  Thank you, @Doug Watson, for giving us something so pleasing to the eye.

I find that with most Safari figure reveals, they look better as time goes on. They just manage to grow on you.

To me, I find the same phenomenon occurring. Maybe it's the obvious fact that they are highly accurate, yet unassuming in a relatively conservative, scientific way, avoiding outlandish colors and poses and garish, absurd interpretations (yes, you Papo). They do just "grow " on one.

I can adapt for this guy, though it is just as large as the JW figure!

I don't have the Jurassic World figure in my hand right now, but I can pretty confidently state the Safari figure is not as large as the JW figure.

From what I've been able to glean from the Dino Toy Blog review and other sources, the Mattel Majunga is 12.5 inches long.

The Safari figure is a full 2 inches shorter in length. Plus it is also much shorter in height obviously, due to the more accurate proportions.

It's not a huge beast the size of the Safari Feathered Rex, it's basically on par with the recent Safari Allosaurus and Carnotaurus.

White background photos are notoriously difficult to capture accurate, neutral colors on a figure.

However, they are necessary for a lot of reasons. Many retailers require such photos, and they are also easier to "cut out" to composite into other images.

This is why Safari provides as many "lifestyle" photos as possible to also show the figure in more natural lighting to give a more accurate view.

As I've already mentioned, reveals will not be happening weekly, and items will continue to be announced throughout the year.

If you're checking every Friday, expect disappointment.

I already liked this fella from the release image but the in hand photos are lovely.
Doug never disappoints

I saw the wild safari prehistoric world of Majungasaurus so I'm saving for my birthday on July 16 

 
I hope some of safari ltd prehistoric collection 2023 releasing more soon.

[Flaffy]

I hope we get some new reveals soon. Almost a month since the previous one.

[suspsy]

Pretty sure Shane said the reveals would be spaced well out. I'm thinking the next one won't be till the spring at least.

[Pliosaurking]

Dino scream said he's doing a reveal for a company later the week, which could and hopefully will be safari. I'm not saying that it's definitely safari but its definitely possible.

[SpartanSquat]

Where he said that? Im seeing his youtube channel and nothing appears

[Pliosaurking]

His latest video he said it right at the end. I'm not saying it is definitely a reveal for safari, but hopefully.

[Ludodactylus]

Until seeing this figure I had no idea Majungasaurus was so... sausage-shaped. I think this is going to be a must-get for me.

Fingers crossed for a Plateosaurus later this year!

[Shane]

There will be a reveal pretty soon. I think March.

[SpartanSquat]

Next week is march, so we are really close

Utahraptor?

Could also be Utahceratops. Or Teratophoneus. Or any number of dinosaurs found in Utah.
