Safari Ltd - new for 2015

[tyrantqueen]

Perhaps this balance solution is in reference to the archaeopteryx

But she was talking about the Carnegie line, which she sculpts for. The Archaeopteryx is part of Wild Safari, and sculpted by another person.

Did they announce any Toobs or bird figures?

[Ridureyu]

I'll take a velociraptor, yutyrannus, and nasuceratops, please.

looks like no prehistoric toobs! But if you're into ancient Rome or human organs you should be really excited!

Where did you see the non-prehistory Safari LTD products?

The animals are on the Animal Toy Forum here: http://animaltoyforum.com/index.php?topic=1165.0

no birds (nigh archaeopteryx) and it would seem no animal toobs yet

I sure hope we'll be getting a new prehistoric toob, it's been a while since we last had one.

...The Kaiyodo sets are truly spectacular though, and worth seeking out. It frustrates me that the better models like Favorite and Kaiyodo are so hard to obtain. I get them if the chance presents itself. I'm never in a hurry to get the latest Carnegie, CollectA or Safari...I know I have plenty of time to obtain them.

That's one good thing about Safari Ltd.,they are so easy to get to (online that is).I wish Kaiyodo and Favorite were as well distributed but as they say,it is what it is.

That is so true!  For kaiyodo and Favorite, I guess supply and demand, keep the supply low, so we all have to spend more to get them.

Wasn't the Cambrian toob last year?

Yeah, so we had to make do for a whole year without a new toob. And I wasn't too fond of the Cambrian toob anyway. Good attempt, but certainly not on par with the Sea Life, Crocodiles and Sharks toobs.

I wonder how the paint application on the actual figures will compare to the catalogue pictures. I recall this has been an issue with Safari/Carnegie in the past. The Yutyrannus in particular has me curious

[SpartanSquat]

Why they are still releasing dinosaur babies? I think we had enought.

Probably to get sales from parents who don't want to buy their kids a full-fledged figure.

[Jetoar]

I like the road runner colors of the new raptor figure  . I dont know very well the babies figures but I think that they are  nice  .

Just noticed the dates in the catalogue all give a month and 2014. Are these the release dates? If so, the figures are not strictly new for 2015, but new for 2014.

Those look like the release dates, with the "minimum order" and "shop online" written. I think Safari noted Christmas on their calendar. However, for easy forum reference, I think the figures (Wild Safari, at least) are best considered "for" the new year, when they are more available.

So does anyone know if these are considered the 2015 line or are there still going to be new figures for 2015? My guess is these are the 2015 figures, but they're releasing them early for Xmas shopping. I always wondered why these "toy" companies didn't have a release date that was closer to the biggest shopping time of the year.

In my case, it's different. 

It seems Wild Safari figures are getting better than Carnegie ones. I hope I could get a Nasuceratops in the future.

Same as last year I guess. It does seem to be a great strategy..releasing just in time for Christmas.

I've also noticed the vast improvements in some of the Wild Safari line recently too.The Dimorphodon,Elasmosaurus and the upcoming Yutyrannus are among the best of any line out there.

[DinoToyForum]

There's certainly more diversity in the Wild Safari line in recent years compared to Carnegie.
