Safari Ltd - new for 2015

[Hermes888]

So, I finally found the new velociraptor for less that $15, well got it for $10... far less than some I have seen ( up to $26!). I have to say, I am glad I did not pay anymore than what I did. This figure really is nothing special to command such high price, and it is small!
Disappointed by it for sure, but then again I really did not plan on getting it until I saw one for that price. my major complain is that it is simply not not exciting or creative for my own personal taste. In fact, I found the older Safari feathered dinosaur like the oviraptor, Dilong, Microraptor, etc. to be more exciting and better done. But that is just me, others may find it just awesome
And just like their last Carnegie figure, the teeth on this one is so badly painted it is hard to even see them. Oh and the tail feathers, well, it looks nice, but I'm not sure this is something you will see in a larger animal, it looks more like something you would see on a bird of paradise or crow-size bird, the two feathers on the ends are simple just too large I think
Personally, at this rate, the only really exciting dinosaurs from Safari is from their Wild Safari series, and that is largely due to the artist who sculpt those figures.

Where did you buy it from?

A new Hadrosaur would be great, though. Quadruped pose, genus they haven't done before, maybe Saurolophus.

Yes,I would like to see the Carnegie do Saurolophus angustirostris sometime.It would also come out well in the Wild Safari line too.

YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! And 1:40 Shantungosaurus, 1:40 Sinoceratops, and 1:40 Abelisaurus


PS Maybe CollectA would make a better Sino?

I disagree. While I love both WS's and CollectA's ceratopsians, the WS ones are my favorites.

Overall, I still like this Velociraptor. I'll be getting it for sure. The teeth could probably get more definition with a simple dark wash to accent the lines in between them.

As far as price goes, so far I've only seen it listed for around $10. This of course does not include eBay scalpers! I'll be getting mine again from DeJankins. It's listed there for $10.50.

I'm really hanging out for that Nasutoceratops. Any day now - the Velociraptor was early. I'm checking Dan's Dinosaurs twice a day.

It's a good model,though I prefer CollectA's version.I think it looks more natural.I'll get CollectA's for sure.

I think that, earlier in this thread, it said that the Yutyrannus was coming out on the 22nd of December, and the Sauropelta and Nasutoceratops may also come on the 22nd.

I prefer Safari's, but Collecta's is their best ceratopsian to date. I'm getting both, as well as the battat version.

That's great! I like the walk-around pics of each too!

[Saurian]

Why does it say that Sauropelta coexisted with T rex, Sauropelta lived much earlier !! may a I inaccurate translate?

[Gwangi]

Well it doesn't really say they lived together, just that T. rex would want to avoid it. Llike in a hypothetical situation. It's still a bit misleading though, and easy to misinterpret.

[Saurian]

I understand, just  t rex the main type of dinosaur in popular culture and the company is using

[Zhuchengotyrant]

I was gonna get the CollectA Nasutoceratops, but now I want the Sfari one. The Sauropelta is also awesome.

Halleluah! (didn't spell that right) This is great, now I can get more for christmas! Lol

[Zhuchengotyrant]

Also: has the Yutyrannus come yet?!

[triceratops83]

I disagree. While I love both WS's and CollectA's ceratopsians, the WS ones are my favorites.

WS do make the best Ceratopsians, but Collecta are more suited to speculative reconstructions and as far as I know there's only a bit of Sinoceratops. I'd love to see Collecta do one.

[triceratops83]

After seeing those walk around views of the Nasutoceratops, I'm just gonna go ahead and say I think Safari will get the best figure vote again this year.

[ItsTwentyBelow]

In previous years I would have agreed with this, but I think Battat has quickly jumped to the top. They will assuredly get my vote. I don't even have to see Dan's Nasutoceratops to know that it's going to be at least as good as the Safari. Plus we are getting six, I mean EIGHT, new Battat figures next year 

Not that I don't plan on getting the new Safaris! Their Nasutoceratops does have me sold.
