Safari Ltd - New for 2022

[SenSx]

So finally an Albertosaurus from someone ?
Might be a bit small for my taste from Safari though...

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

The Zuul looks great! I wasn't a fan of the color choice at first, but it's very well-executed. I think a more elaborate color scheme like this would have made the nanotyrannus a lot better. This might be the figure I'm most excited for this year now.

As for tomorrow's reveal-- the colors don't match up with the Dino Dana Albertosaurus, but I think it's a theropod based on what I can see of the hips, feet, and flexibility of the tail. The colors also don't look like anything Safari would normally produce, so I think it'll still be a Dino Dana piece.

Giga!Giga!Giga!Giga!Giga!Giga!Giga!
oh plz be a giga

You know Safari already has an excellent Giganotosaurus, right?

Those are some vibrant colors on that sneak-peak of the figure. As others have said, the Albertosaurus in the film has a dark colorscheme. Also, has this even been a confirmed figure of a species featured in Dino Dana?

Here is a link to all the species shown in the film: https://dinodan.fandom.com/wiki/Dino_Dana:_Dino_Field_Guide

That definitely looks to be a theropod. Hopefully it will be an Albertosaurus.

I've heard that one is likely Albertosaurus

Where did you hear it?

[Strepsodus]

Possibly Albertosaurus but it wouldn't match the films color scheme.

[GojiraGuy1954]

Edmontosaurus seems unlikely as they did a big and beautiful one in 2020.

A prosauropod would be absolutely fantastic! My bet is on a theropod though.

The edmonto in Dino Dana is Annectens

[SpartanSquat]

It could be Futagonkosaurus due the colour schemes

[GojiraGuy1954]

It could be Futagonkosaurus due the colour schemes

It has theropodlike feet

[SpartanSquat]

True I didnt see the theropod feet hidden in the rex. It could be albertosaurus.

[Ikessauro]

Is it me or the stock photos of the new Safari Ltd figures are quite blurry?

[Concavenator]

So yeah, I guess only time will tell! Hopefully Safari ltd's Zuul will hold up in the accuracy department even after the osteoderm papers are published.
If Victoria's happy with it, then I'm happy with it too.

It's difficult to think the Safari Zuul would perfectly match the upcoming papers' reconstructions, given the differences in osteoderm arrangements in ankylosaurs. This could result in a similar case to Safari's 2020 Edmontosaurus and Dilophosaurus (the sculptor can't be blamed, understandably). That doesn't make the figure any worse, it's good as it is now, and in any case this is the first figure of this genus in the market.

Safari did a great job with this one, not only figure wise, but they also picked up a great species as well (even if they chose it just because it was featured in the show).

[GiganotosaurusFan]

@Bread That giga is not pleasing to me, so I would like another one.
If they do this, boy will I swoon.

[SRF]

I don't think Safari will release another Giga so soon. Also this one seems to be way too small to represent such a big animal. Here's hoping it will indeed be an Albertosaurus.

Albertosaurus

[SenSx]

The flashy colors are surprising but I really like it.
Only the small size for my collection is making me hesitating.

The figure is about 10 inches long (and would be longer if the tail weren't curved).

Just out of curiosity, how large would you want an Albertosaurus figure to be?

[SRF]

That's definitely a nice surprise. I really like this one.

I have just checked the dimensions for about 1/35 scale, and it seems about right.
It's just a matter for my own collection anyway, I don't think it would be an issue for other people.
I'm mixing figures from different brands, and they tend to oversize their figures (I'm comparing it to Nanmu and Rebor...), that is why I  now complain about figures being too big as well on other threads ><
Sorry for being picky about it.

I'm very happy about this Albertosaurus, it looks great, I like the sculpt, the vibrant colors and the blue eyes.
I don't know why it took so much time to get one from a manufacturer, it's a classic from my childhood (and the Papo Gorgosaurus is definitely tiny).

[Dromaenychus]

It seems to be around the same size as their most recent Allosaurus figure. The colors seem a bit bright to me, a brown wash and a little bit of detailing would bring it up a notch. I did it for the Ceratosaurus and it improved it drastically. No big feet!
One more to go!
