Safari Ltd - new for 2015

[Alexxitator]

I will attempt to politely point out that using the words like "horrible, awful, monstrosities, turns my stomach, save what I can" are the aggressive and wholly unhelpful type of language used towards Rebor and Battat Terra. It is the type of language that has convinced some of the artists and long time members here to pull away, and it the type of wording that helps contribute to the feeling of aggressive hostility in the forum. Surely you can come up with better critique than 'it nauseates me"?

I tried to make this point a few posts back and it was ignored, so I agree with you Amanda...we are back to bashing basically rather than offering constructive critcism or positive input I fear.

Nope, I responded justly to your remark I hope.
It was the first time here -ever- I used a harsh judgement on a toyline and used matching words (one word). And even though there could be something said about the chosen wording, (Mind you, not everyone has a complete English vocabulaire) Ido stand by the opinion. And sharing thoughts and opinions is a grand part of life on a forum. If all would share the exact same opinion it would be a bland gathering.
On the other hand; bashing like some ppl have a tendency to do is nowhere and never my intention.
And yes, the Rebor topic does spring to mind, where I actually was one of the peaceful participants.

No let us gently return to topic.

Well at least we agree on gently...I offer the idea that perhaps tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy.

An enemy?

  @Simon We've got it, we know how you feel about the Carnegie Collection, we've known for years. Passionate you may be, but you've admitted above that your opinion on the line is "beyond being a rational thing". This means, by definition, it is not up for discussion. So, raising your irrational opinion on a discussion forum only winds people up. You're entitled to your opinion, we all have our own personal tastes, but I agree with Amanda and others. The language you're using is uncalled for and provocative, but moreover, it's intentinally rude. That's against the forum rules now. Please have a bit of tact. Your diversions also take threads off topic (usually in unproductive directions unworthy of new threads), which is also against the rules. This is a thread about Safari's 2015 releases, not the carnegie line in general. We've been kind to you and given you second chances in the past, when we had no obligation to do so, so please take this message to heart and consider it a last warning. Thank you for understanding.

*POOF* that made me laugh

Well, why don't I chime in on these wonderful new figures, too?

Velociraptor - I like it, and the small feathering hiccups are easily passable, but by now it is becoming grating getting just one Carnegie figure a year, one obscenely popular theropod in the same old static pose.

Archaeopteryx - Very nice sculpt and accurate coloration, this will probably be the first Archaeopteryx in my collection.

Yutyrannus - Again, wonderful sculpt, and the plumage is very nicely done. Great reconstruction of a very important fossil!

Nasutoceratops - Probably my favorite of the bunch. More awesome horned dinos please, Safari! Medusaceratops next?

Sauropelta - I love the fact that this figure exists. Almost like they draw dino names out of a hat for some of the picks, because while a great figure and instant buy for me, nobody could have thought that Sauropelta will be a big seller. And yet it gets its day! Way better than the only other mass-produced Sauropelta, the Schleich version.

[Gwangi]

It's really about time we get a nice Sauropelta. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner as Sauropelta is one of the more flamboyant members of the group.

[suspsy]

The tripod stance that has become a staple of the CC doesn't bother me overly. It's the fact that the line has devolved to just one figure per year that irritates me.

and again no prehistoric mammals

[CityRaptor]

Given that mammals ( especially humans and horses ) pretty much dominate the extant animal figures ( which far outnumber the prehistoric animal figures), let Dinosaurs and other non-mammals rule the prehistoric animal figures.

and again no prehistoric mammals

I thought it had been established Safari cannot make prehistoric mammals or sumsuch?

I was told that several years ago, although no further explanation was given. They just can't. But every year at least one person still must complain!

[CityRaptor]

They atleast seem to be able to do it to a certain degree, given that they released "Evolution of Man" last year.

[amanda]

Oddly, you'd think so but I'd bet that "cavemen" somehow do not figure into the "prehistoric animal" thing. Just a feeling.....

[CityRaptor]

"We are not animals! We are human beings! We...are...men!"

So some loophole in whatever prevents them from making more mammals...

[Takama]

From what I understand, they can not make mammals at a certain size, and the Cavemen were in the right size range.

[stargatedalek]

I'm confused as to exactly why, is it a goal of theirs?
