Safari: New for 2017

[dinoMD]

Went to my local shop in Kent, WA yesterday and found that they have their Safari shipment in! Limited myself to Kronosaurus and Einiosaurus for now, but got to see and handle everything else, except T.rex.

These are superb models. I'm glad I never had the Carnegie Kronosaurus.

Any idea what's the scale on these two? AFAIK the feathered velo is approx 1:10 or 11

I love the kronosaurus Safari but now that we talk about the discontinued Carnegie kronosaurus I hope the new version is not hollow like its predecessor and a semi-rigid plastic. In any case, the new kronosaurus version of Safari is far superior to other toy pliosaurus figures and only rivals the Collecta brand Safari.

On the other hand the kronosaurus Safari will be on a scale of 1:30 or 1:35 by calculating the size.

The new kronosaurus is a solid fella.  For all its inaccuracies, I was fond of my old Carnegie Kronosaurus - this one blows it out of the proverbial water.

@dinoMD,does that new Diplodocus in the pictures have nails on all five digits on the back feet,or just the three large claws on the first three?

The Parasaurolophus is another one that looks much better in pictures taken by owners than the promotional ones.

Alas, all five toenails are painted, but the last two toes are appropriately tiny compared to the first three.

The colors are so on point on that Kronosaurus. It's as if it was etched in by laser.

Regardless, of whether the colors appear too same-y or inspired (in the case of Krono), the application and blending is superb on most models. A huge step forward from the last few years.

Is there anywhere to get these in the UK? Amazon won't send it to my address and Safari website doesn't carry the T. rex and raptor yet.

Everything Dinosaur will have them in stock sooner or later. Or so I hope.

That Krono is really huge!

I send a personal message to everything dinosaur about when they were going to get the new figures in stock
They said that it will be sometime in January. It could be early, mid or later.

I do not know if they will be laser engraved or not but I would like them to be very resistant to abrasions.

I believe that the diplodocus, giganotosaurus (which does not appear here) and kronosaurus the three magnificent figures are made with a painting that withstands abrasions like those of Papo.

Although the feathered tyrannosaurus rex, einiosaurus and feathered velociraptor for putting three examples I seem to be more prone to abrasions by accidental falls

Can someone please take a comparison shot with the new einiosaurus and some of Doug Watson's other Ceratopsids? I'm trying to figure out how big it is.

I don't have my camera handy right now, but it looks to be the exact same size more or less as the Vagaceratops, it's a bit more splayed out/hunkered down though.

Holy Battat Diplodocus, that Kronosaurus is large!

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

Holy Battat Diplodocus, that Kronosaurus is large!

Interesting juxtaposition... now I'm going to have to buy an extra dippy to customize into a rearing position.

All these photos make me more and more anxious to order them.

[CMIPalaeo]

The more pictures I see, the more and more I like the Diplodocus! And seeing the photos here I'm more and more anxious for my Tylosaurus and Coelophysis to arrive...

Here is that comparison photo. What a wonderful bunch of brutes Doug Watson has sculpted for us over the years.

I love them all! I can't wait to get the Einio and complete the family. And hopefully the coming years will bring more of those!

Amazing photo! Thank you for that. I will need the Einio to complete the set. I hope an annual ceratopsian is part of Safari Ltd's plan. I just love these frilly guys  Hopefully a Triceratops Torosaurus will be next!

Did Doug Watson sculpt the Psittaco, as well?

[tanystropheus]

Is the Krono supposed to be this huge? How does it scale to the other dinosaurs? to Tylosaurus?

[Jose S.M.]

Yes, the Psittacosaurus is sculpted by Doug too, it looks great right?

[Shonisaurus]

To me this year I find fabulous all the news of Safari 2017 in regards to dinosaurs and prehistoric animals.
